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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to characterize the role of sleep, emotion processing, and daily affect in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and whether improving sleep quality using slow wave activity enhancement will impact next-day affect in youth. Participants will attend 4 study visits: - A clinical and trauma assessment visit - A testing day that may include cognitive testing, surveys, and an MRI. - An overnight sleep study following one week of at-home sleep recordings with the device in the sham condition - An overnight sleep study following one week of at-home sleep recordings with the device in the sleep enhancement condition
This project involves two sub-parts: Study 1: Effect of lab-based Functional Balance Intervention (FBI) for physical and cognitive symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. Study 2: Feasibility of home-based FBI for physical and cognitive symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. Each study involves a 2-arm, Phase-1, randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of FBI on physical, cognitive function, and daily living among people with MS (PwMS). Study 1 is conducted in a lab setting, while Study 2 is conducted at home with additional safety measures. A total of 150 people with multiple sclerosis will be recruited and telephone screened, with an expected enrollment of 120 (60 per phase). After in-person screening, 96 eligible participants (48 per phase) will undergo pre-training assessment and randomization into FBI or Stretching groups. Training sessions will occur twice a week for four months. Anticipating a 15-17% attrition rate, the target sample size is 80 (40 per phase) for completion of the study. Post-training assessments will be conducted after four months to evaluate FBI's impact on physical and cognitive functions. This evidence-based protocol, previously successful with neurological and older adult populations, intends to provide a low-cost, safe, and effective intervention for PwMS in clinical and community settings, including rural areas.
The study is a Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) participants with an inadequate response to standard antidepressants The objective of the study is to assess CLE-100 (oral esketamine) for the treatment of MDD in participants currently treated with an oral antidepressant medication and who have an inadequate response to at least 2 antidepressants.
This is a prospective, quasi-experimental, cohort study comparing patients treated with one of two postoperative pain management protocols. The two protocols assessed will be the current standard of care protocol for ACLR postoperative pain control utilized by Dr. Matthew Varacallo and then an opioid avoidance protocol that is planned to be implemented on the Spring of 2024. The study is voluntary, however all patients will be treated with either of the two protocols depending on their date of surgery. This study will include patients aged 15 years and older who consent to the participation in the study. Patients will be identified utilizing the operative surgeon's appointment calendar and will be screened and offered inclusion in the study if applicable at their pre-operative visit. Data will be collected via patient medication and pain diary, phone call, and clinician administration of standardized outcome questionnaires. Patients will be included in the standard of care group if ACLR is performed prior to the change in protocol in the Spring of 2024 or the opioid avoidance group if performed after the protocol change. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the opioid avoidance protocol on opioid use in MME from POD0-7 after ACLR compared to the current standard of care pain management protocol. Secondary objectives are to: - evaluate the effects of an opioid avoidance protocol on the daily average NRS pain scores from POD0-7 - evaluate the effects of an opioid avoidance protocol on the daily worst NRS pain score from POD0-7 - evaluate the ability to recover opioid free through 7, 30, and 60 days - evaluate the QoR-15 scores on POD2 - assess the number of opioid prescriptions required by patients in the 60 day recover period - assess KOOS pain and symptom scales at 8 weeks post-operatively between groups.
This study explores the impact of hearing aid settings for managing sudden sounds on speech comprehension and recall in individuals with hearing loss. Participants will undergo a comprehensive audiological evaluation, case history, and cognitive assessments. Subsequently, they will participate in listening experiments designed to measure sentence recognition, storage, and retrieval under various sudden sound reduction conditions recorded through a hearing aid. The experiment will be complemented by subjective preference ratings to identify participant comfort and listening clarity associated with different sudden sound reduction settings.
The investigators are conducting this research study is to evaluate the feasibility (recruitment, compliance, safety, and acceptance) of using electroacupuncture (EA) to manage complex symptoms such as pain, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and insomnia in patients who have undergone Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy. Additionally, the investigators are aiming to determine the effectiveness of EA in reducing these symptoms, and to examine how EA impacts important biomarkers, or proteins in the blood, that can be used as indicators or signs of these symptoms.
This clinical trial study has two goals. The first goal is to establish fitness levels, participation in physical activities, and fine/gross motor abilities for children with development language disorder (DLD). DLD occurs in 1/13 children and children with DLD often have poorer fine/gross motor skills than those with typical development. The second goal is to determine whether physical exercise helps children with DLD and typical development to learn better and improve fitness and fine/gross motor abilities more than participating in restful play activities. All children (DLD and typically developing) will undergo communication, fine/gross motor and fitness testing. Children will be randomly assigned to participate in an exercise program (n =20) or to a restful play program (n = 20). Both programs will take place 3x/week for 6 weeks and children will only participate in one of the two programs. Children in the exercise program will do activities to train cardiovascular fitness, agility, balance, strength, and endurance while children in the restful play condition will do things like play with legos and color. Researchers will compare changes in learning tasks and fitness levels for children (DLD and typically developing) who participated in the exercise program vs. restful play program.
This study compares insulin icodec, a new insulin taken once a week, to insulin glargine, an insulin taken once a day. The study medicine will be investigated in participants with type 2 diabetes. Participants will either get insulin icodec or insulin glargine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Insulin icodec is the new medicine being tested, while insulin glargine is already approved and can be prescribed by doctors. Participants will get one injection of insulin icodec once a week, or one injection of insulin glargine once a day, depending on the treatment group participants are assigned into. Participants will use a pen with a small needle to inject the medicine under participants skin into participants thigh, upper arm or stomach.The study will last for about 9 months, but participants will only be taking the study medicine for 6 months.
The goal of this substudy is to determine if a brief single-session-intervention (SSI) coupled with different incentive strategies to support engaging in wellness-related activities.
This is a non-randomized clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CD22CART administered after lymphodepleting chemotherapy in adults with relapsed / refractory B Cell Lymphomas. All evaluable participants will be followed for overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), and duration of response (DOR). An evaluable participant is one who completes leukapheresis, lymphodepleting chemotherapy and CART infusion.
