There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Opioid misuse and addiction among children and adolescents is an increasingly concerning problem. Post-surgical opioid prescriptions for commonly performed surgeries such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) increase opioid exposure in young athletes. The purpose of the current study is to determine if extended-release Bupivacaine Liposome Injectable Suspension (Exparel) is effective in decreasing at home narcotic consumption compared to standard Bupivacaine Adductor Canal Block for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction/reconstruction for the surgical treatment of adolescents with ACL tears and concomitant pathology i.e. meniscus / cartilage injury/tear.
Behavioral activation is one such empirically supported intervention. Derived from cognitive-behavioral therapy, a well-established treatment for depression, behavioral activation uses psychoeducation and skill-building to increase an individual's engagement in valued and enjoyable activities (e.g., socializing with family and friends, exercising, participating in a hobby) in order to improve depressive symptoms. Research has shown that behavioral activation is an effective intervention for depressed youth. Additionally, it has been shown as a promising intervention that can be conducted in a brief, virtual format and can be effectively implemented by both trained clinicians and trained, non-licensed interventionists. This project will provide Behavioral Activation for youth (12-17) experiencing depression or suicidal ideation who are currently enrolled in the Youth Depression Suicide Network study in Texas.
This is a study to find out if a cutting-edge technology called transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) can be used to treat how people with anxiety or related concerns cope with emotional situations. tFUS is a brain stimulation technology that causes temporary changes in the activity of deep brain areas without a need for any surgery or other permanent or invasive procedures. This study is recruiting participants who recently started treatment for anxiety or a related concern to come in for 3 visits at the Medical University of South Carolina. At the first visit, participants will do interviews and surveys asking about anxiety and related concerns, and they do tasks where they respond to emotional pictures while brain activity is measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). At the next two visits, participants again do a task where they see and react to emotional images, and this time the task is done once before and again once after receiving tFUS that either actively causes temporary changes (lasting for about an hour) in a targeted brain area or is not active (no changes elicited). At each tFUS visit, responses are measured with sensors worn on the hand, arms, face, and head (these visits do not involve MRI). Each visit in this study is expected to last between 2 - 3 hours. This study is not a treatment study, but it could help improve treatment in the future. Participants in this study are paid for their time.
The goal of this study is to help identify the best antibiotic treatment for pregnant people when their water breaks prematurely (a condition abbreviated as PPROM). Current practice is to attempt to maintain the pregnancy until at least 34 weeks gestational age, when the risks of prematurity to the baby are lessened. Research shows that antibiotics help the pregnancy last longer, but there have been limited studies about which combination works best. Currently, both azithromycin and erythromycin are accepted antibiotic treatments, in addition to ampicillin and amoxicillin. Participants diagnosed with PPROM will be randomized to receive ampicillin and amoxicillin plus either azithromycin or erythromycin, in addition to the care they would normally receive. Studying these two drugs will help decide the best care for future patients with PPROM.
This is a multi-center, single arm, open-label, localized pharmacodynamic biomarker Phase 0 trial designed to study the biological effects within the tumor microenvironment of PBA-0405 when administered intratumorally in microdose quantities via the CIVO device.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK-8189 in participants with stable bipolar I disorder. There will be no hypothesis testing in this study.
Uveitis is an inflammatory disease of the uvea, one of the highly vascularized fundamental structures of the eye. It is a rare condition in children, with an incidence in the pediatric population ranging from 2% to 14% of all uveitis cases. The diagnosis and management of patients with uveitis rely on a multidisciplinary approach involving an ophthalmologist, a rheumatologist, and an infectious disease specialist to establish the correct diagnosis and assess the involvement of other organs. In Italy, there is no national or regional registry for non-infectious chronic uveitis as per the Prime Ministerial Decree (DPCM) of March 3, 2017 (Identification of surveillance systems and registries for mortality, tumors, and other diseases). However, many clinical centers adopt data recording systems to evaluate the quality of care and to study diseases and outcomes. The Universitary Hospital Meyer Institute Research Hospital (IRCCS) is a national referral center for managing these pediatric cases of non-infectious chronic uveitis, estimated to constitute 95% of all pediatric uveitis cases
One in three women of reproductive age utilize tubal sterilization for contraception, and sterilization is often requested at time of cesarean delivery. Complete salpingectomy for the purpose of permanent sterilization at the time of cesarean birth is increasingly being performed worldwide. A preferred complete salpingectomy technique for the purpose of sterilization at the time of cesarean delivery has not emerged in current practice. The objective is to compare short-term clinical outcomes and cost of salpingectomy using a hand-held bipolar energy instrument with those of traditional suture ligation. This retrospective cohort study will be conducted from 2017-2023 at a single tertiary care hospital. The investigators hypothesize that bipolar energy instrument use will not significantly improve clinical outcomes.
This project investigates whether a multi-faceted strategy involving iLookOut's evidence-based Core Training plus an innovative follow-up Micro-Learning can promote knowledge retention and change behavior among early childhood professionals (ECPs) with regard to child abuse and its reporting. Additionally, this study will evaluate if non-ECPs experience similar improvements and retention of knowledge and changes in behavior as do ECPs.
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to compare the effects of STP7 (mavoglurant) vs placebo control on i.v. cocaine's physiological and subjective effects in non-treatment seeking, cocaine-experienced males or females participants between 18 and 59 years of age. The primary objective of this study is to determine if there are clinically meaningful interactions between oral STP7 (mavoglurant) treatment concurrent with 20 and 40 mg i.v. cocaine infusions by measuring adverse events and cardiovascular responses including heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (including corrected QT interval). The secondary objectives are: - To evaluate whether administration of STP7 (mavoglurant) alters the pharmacokinetics of cocaine and/or its major metabolite, benzoylecgonine. - To determine the pharmacokinetic of STP7 (mavoglurant) administered at a dose of 200 mg twice a day. - To evaluate whether STP7 (mavoglurant) treatment alters the subjective effects of cocaine measured by Visual Analog Scales (VAS) and Brief Substance Craving Scale (BSCS).
