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.
This study aims to examine the scientific mechanisms of whole-body hyperthermia (WBH), a novel, rapidly acting, single session antidepressant and anxiolytic therapy. It also aims to determine its feasibility and acceptability in women with postpartum depression (PPD). The study will enroll four cohorts of participants: healthy postpartum controls; postpartum women with PPD; healthy adult controls; and adults with major depressive disorder or anxiety disorders in a longitudinal protocol.
This study will examine both Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine effectiveness and Primary high-risk HPV PHS screening triage strategies in women living with HIV (WLHIV) by partnering with the Pediatric HIV/AIDs Cohort Study (PHACS) led, in part, by our investigative team. Among WWH, the study will examine the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine The study will screen approximately 810 WWH using a self-sampling kit and those who are PHS[+] will attend a clinical visit to have colposcopy/biopsy and 4 triage tests. WWH with <CIN 2+ are asked to return annually for colposcopy and HPV genotyping for up to 3 yrs. WWH PHS[-] will be asked to return in Year 2 for rescreening. Those PHS[+] will be followed as above and PHS[-] will be asked to obtain self-collected vaginal samples for HPV genotyping annually for 3 years.
The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of induction treatment with daratumumab-hyaluronidase (dara SC) with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-CyBorD) for four cycles in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who have new onset renal failure. This study will also investigate the difference responses in African American (AA) patients versus non-African American patients. The primary questions this study aims to answer are: 1. To evaluate the very good partial response rate (VGPR) after 4 cycles of Dara-CyBord. 2. To evaluate the renal response rate (RRR) after 4 cycles of Dara-CyBord.
This two-year study will evaluate the feasibility and safety of an exercise + cognitive training program to improve neurological symptoms of long-COVID. This is a two-phased trial: 1) an exercise phase and 2) a cognitive training phase. The exercise phase will be an aquatic based exercise program. A combination exercise + memory training programs designed for persons with cognitive impairment have significantly improved memory more than other single intervention groups (exercise only, cognitive training only) and given the success of combination training programs with healthy adults, it is important to adapt these programs for persons with neurological symptoms of long-COVID.
The proposed study will focus on the feasibility of and effectiveness to a home-based program for persons with chronic SCI focused on upper limb training augmented with a transcutaneous neurostimulator supported via a video telehealth platform.
Investigators aim to examine the role of audiovisual inputs during treatment with ketamine/esketamine in affecting tolerability and effectiveness of treatment of depressive episodes, by providing patients with a relaxing environment using virtual reality goggles and noise cancelling headphones, and assessing whether these tools can improve the tolerability and effectiveness of treatment with ketamine/esketamine
Over the last decade, radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has become an established treatment for ventricular arrhythmias (VA). Due to the challenging nature of visualizing lesion formation in real time and ensuring an effective transmural lesion, different surrogate measures of lesion quality have been used. The Ablation Index (AI) is a variable incorporating power delivery in its formula and combining it with CF and time in a weighted equation which aims at allowing for a more precise estimation of lesion depth and quality when ablating VAs. AI guidance has previously been shown to improve outcomes in atrial and ventricular ablation in patients with premature ventricular complexes (PVC). However research on outcomes following AI-guidance for VT ablation specifically in patients with structural disease and prior myocardial infarction remains sparse. The investigators aim at conducting the first randomized controlled trial testing for the superiority of an AI-guided approach regarding procedural duration.
Endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies (EBMT) are a non-invasive, safe alternative treatment for patients with obesity. Current FDA- approved devices include intragastric balloons (IGB) and suturing devices for endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). These gastric interventions work by interfering with how the stomach expands to accept and process a meal, which slows down how fast the stomach empties. ESG, the procedure the investigators are doing in this study, involves endoscopic suturing to reduce the length and width of the stomach so that the patient feels full faster. Semaglutide is a popular medication for weight loss, and has shown significant weight loss with a good safety profile in clinical trials. In this study, the investigators will compare ESG, Semaglutide only, and an ESG + Semaglutide combination, on weight loss for subjects undergoing the procedure with a history of obesity, liver fibrosis and NAFLD. To better understand how these impact obesity and liver fibrosis, the investigators will track weight loss, laboratory values, liver stiffness, and the patients overall liver health. The suturing device used in the ESG procedure and the semaglutide are all approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for endoscopic procedures in the upper gastrointestinal tract and medication management of obesity. This is a study that will randomize patients to 1 of 3 different treatment options: ESG only, Semaglutide only or ESG + Semaglutide. The investigators want to see if adding the weight loss medication to the ESG procedure will increase weight loss and how it will impact liver health.
The OSSIOfiber® Trimmable Fixation Nails are indicated for maintenance of alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis and bone grafts in the presence of appropriate additional immobilization (e.g., rigid fixation implants, cast, brace). Our hypothesis is that the use of OSSIOfiber® Trimmable Fixation Nails for treating subchondral insufficiency of the knee will result in improvement of patient-reported outcomes and imaging findings. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of implanting bio-integrative OSSIOfiber® Trimmable Fixation Nails, organized in a bi-cortical rafter formation within the tibia or femur for the management of subchondral insufficiency. This use is not considered off-label because we are using the TFNs in the way they are intended to be used via FDA approval.
The goal of this behavioral, interventional clinical trial is to provide a specialized workshop training for dental providers (e.g., dentists, hygienists, assistants) to improve interactions with young children (2-10 years old) and parents/caregivers. The training is derived from a well-established behavior management program for preschoolers, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Change in behavior of dental providers - Acceptability of training by dental providers All participants will receive the same behavior training; however, one group will receive the training on a delayed schedule. Researchers will compare the immediate intervention and control group to see if the training was effective in the dental providers usage of skills.
