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 investigate the use of virtual reality guided mindfulness meditation to reduce the pre and post-operative anxiety and pain of pediatric surgical patients.
Open-label study involving longitudinal assessment of the continued safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ADV7103 in maintaining targeted serum bicarbonate levels, preventing metabolic acidosis, and preventing hypokalemia in the following groups of subjects with primary dRTA: 1. subjects who participated in Study B23CS and were adherent to the protocol; 2. subjects ≥ 6 months of age who are living in Europe and did not participate in Study B23CS; and 3. infants younger than 6 months of age
This study is designed to treat your disease with an autologous stem cell transplant using a regimen of immune suppressant drugs and chemotherapy to reset your immune system and to determine if your disease will go into long-term remission.
The goal of the study is to compare whether an integrated model of care between Foot Wound and Diabetes Clinic with use of remote glucose monitoring technology (Intervention Arm), as compared with usual care without the use of remote glucose monitoring technology (Control Arm), will result in 1) improved glycemic control, 2) improved ulcer and wound healing, 3) improved patient reported outcomes (PROs), 4) reduced long-term healthcare resource utilization, and 5) improved adherence to anti-glycemic therapy for patients with DFUWI and poor glycemic control over the course of a 6-month intervention period.
The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is rising and more than 30 million of Americans or 9.4% of the US population has DM. Several large scale randomized clinical trials have found that improved glycemic control reduces the development of complications in patients with DM. However intensive glucose management carries an increased risk of hypoglycemia, a condition that may lead to neurological damage and is associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular events and mortality. Reducing uncontrolled hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia represents therefore an important objective, as may decrease the direct and indirect impact that diabetes has in our health care system. Achieving optimal glycemic control requires frequent blood glucose monitoring by the patients and recurrent clinic visits,which is often difficult to achieve, as access to typical DM clinic is at least sub optimal. m-Health and telemedicine health solutions represent alternative ways to manage patients in the outpatient setting and have been applied in different medical areas, among them in diabetes. However, almost all the telemedicine studies that have been previously performed and recruited DM patients used telemedicine solutions which were based on point of care (POC) finger-stick glucose testing, which are checked infrequently , usually 4-6 times/day. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices offer additional ways to monitor blood glucose values and can provide numerous glucose measurements (as frequent as every 5 min). By using software applications, such as the Clarity (Dexcom), which highlights glucose patterns, trends and statistics in standardized reports, providers can make safe recommendations of adjusting DM medications, especially insulin titration. In this randomized clinical trial investigators propose to use CGM devices and Clarity software as a telemedicine platform in order to improve glycemic control and improve health outcomes.
This clinical study is being conducted to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Bone Healing Accelerant (BHA) product when applied to tibia (leg bone) fractures with an external wound or skin break (also called open tibia fractures). It is hypothesized that by 6 months, the number of subjects with successful bone healing will be greater in the BHA-treated group compared to subjects treated with standard of care alone. Open tibia fractures were chosen for this study because healing rates are typically longer than for other bone fractures due to the limited vascular supply, limited soft tissue coverage, and higher risk of infection.
This study seeks to understand how biological sex influences airway hyperresponsiveness in adult asthma.
An FDA Early Feasibility Study (EFS) allows for early clinical evaluation of devices to provide proof of principle and initial clinical safety data. The Primary Aim of this proposal is to perform an FDA guided EFS of a percutaneous osseointegrated (OI) docking system for patients with transhumeral (above elbow) amputations, establishing its initial safety. Success of the Primary Aim (Safety) will be determined over a one year follow-up period by observing the rate of patients successfully using their device without removal. The Secondary Aim of this proposal is to quantify the functional effectiveness of the OI device, giving specific attention to protocol differences required for male and female patients. Success for the Secondary Aim (Functional Effectiveness) will be to determine functional improvement with the device compared to the pre-operative performance. This will be the first longitudinal analyses to evaluate the percutaneous OI devices on objective functionality measures of transhumeral amputation individuals.
In this research study the investigators want to learn more about how a medication called tranexamic acid (TXA) could help reduce bleeding during Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) surgery. TXA is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the reduction of bleeding for many types of surgical procedures. TXA works by slowing the breakdown of blood clots and helps to prevent bleeding. From previous studies, TXA has been shown to effectively prevent bleeding in patients undergoing heart, spine and skull remodeling surgeries. As PAO surgery has been associated with significant blood loss when compared to other types of joint surgeries. In order to try and avoid bleeding that may lead to complications, different strategies can be used. In this research study the investigators want to learn more about how a medication called tranexamic acid (TXA) could help reduce bleeding during PAO surgery.
The purpose of this study is to examine the use of MRI surveillance for patients with no prostate cancer, potential prostate cancer, or diagnosed low-grade prostate cancer.
