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 purpose of this research is to develop an ultrasound (US) based urodynamics (UDS) evaluation of voiding based on successful magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-UDS evaluation. Both US and MRI are non-invasive imaging techniques, but US is a more cost-effective and widely available technology. 80 participants will be enrolled and will be on study for up to 2.5 hours (1.5 hour MRI and 1 hour US).
The objective of the proposed research is to determine the effects of fresh watermelon consumption on physiological indicators of wellness regarding sexual, skin and gut health in adults.
Our specific aim is to examine the effects of TMS on reward processing during goal-directed behavior. In these experiments the investigators will utilize a scalp-recorded brain oscillation called frontal midline theta that is believed to index the sensitivity of the cingulate cortex to reward feedback. Here the investigators will asked whether this electrophysiological signal can be modulated up or down using TMS while participants engage in decision making tasks, and if so, whether it would affect the encoding of rewards and subsequent choices during task performance.
This clinical trial identifies and addresses barriers to pediatric medication adherence among families of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Pediatric nonadherence (noncompliance) to medication is a significant public health problem, and rigorous research repeatedly documents that nonadherence increases risk for hospitalization, healthcare cost, disease progression, and death. Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients who miss 5% of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) doses within the 2-year 6-MP regimen have a 2.7-fold risk of cancer that comes back after a period of improvement (relapse). To address these families' needs, researchers have developed MedSupport, a theory-based multilevel intervention with targets at the organizational, healthcare team, and caregiver levels that is designed to address root barriers to medication adherence. This study is being done to better understand families' experiences giving their child oral chemotherapy at home and to help families cope with the day-to-day challenges of giving their child medication.
The goal of this observational study is to develop a mobile app for cancer patients undergoing treatments. In Aim 3, patients will rate the quality of the app using the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) and their satisfaction with the three key app features. The outcome of this project will be a final prototype app with 70% of patients indicating an overall MARS score of 4.0 or more and satisfaction with the three features.
The proposed intervention in this Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) proposal will improve knowledge and awareness of the health impacts of air pollution exposure, will elevate the youth voice, improve youth self-efficacy and lead to behavior changes that would reduce exposure to air pollution in a high school setting. These outcomes will be accomplished through the introduction of a new air quality curriculum, called AirActions, into freshman science classes, and the establishment of an after-school air quality monitoring program. All students enrolled in freshman Honors Biology (Pueblo East and Montrose High Schools), Intro to Agriculture (The STEAD School) and Environmental Science (Grand Junction High School) will participate in the new air quality curriculum, as it will be built into the existing lesson plans. For the after-school monitoring program, the PI and participating teachers (Letters A and B) will recruit 10 to 15 students at each school to be involved in the Student Research Cohort (SRC). Information on this program and how to apply will be shared with students through their health and science classes, included in the school newsletter, and posted on billboards around the school. Students will be identified within the following inclusion criteria: 1) freshman or sophomores in high school and 2) participation in the AirActions curriculum. New students will be recruited each year to keep a consistent group as students leave and/or graduate. New students will be brought up to speed by carry-over students, and each new year will represent a separate SRC dedicated to a specific goal.
The goal of this study is to learn more about how exercise might lower the risk of developing breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue by studying changes that occur in breast tissue and blood as a result of participating in an exercise program. The names of the study groups in this study are: - Exercise Training Group - Waitlist Control Group
Depression is a leading cause of disability in young adults. However, access to care is limited due to structural and psychological barriers. Single-session interventions (SSIs) are structured programs designed to maximize the therapeutic output in one interaction between the patient and the provider or a program. Project ABC, a single-session intervention (SSI), has been shown to be effective in reducing depressive symptoms. Project ABC is based on four components-psychoeducation, testimonials, saying is believing exercises, and action planning. However, it is unclear what are the effects of the individual components. The primary aim of this study is to calculate the main effects of the candidate components-psychoeducation, testimonials + saying is believing exercises, and action planning-on Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) scores at 8-week follow-up. The secondary aims of this study are to: 1. calculate the main effects of the candidate components-psychoeducation, testimonials + saying is believing exercises, and action planning-on PHQ-8 scores at immediate post-treatment and 2-week follow-up. 2. calculate the interaction effects, if any, among the candidate components on PHQ-8 scores at immediate post-treatment, 2-week, and 8-week follow-up. 3. calculate the main and interaction effects of the candidate components on measures of hopelessness, autonomy, relatedness, and competence. 4. determine if the effects of the candidate components on PHQ-8 are mediated by measures of autonomy, relatedness, and competence. Additionally, the exploratory aim of this study is to determine if common factors, like credibility of the intervention and expectations to improve, can lead to symptom change.
This is a first-in-human study evaluating the anti-T cell immunoglobulin and mucin containing protein-3 (TIM-3) antibody TSR-022. The study will be conducted in 2 parts with Part 1 consisting of dose escalation and Part 2 dose expansion. Part 1 will determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of TSR-022 and Part 2 will evaluate the antitumor activity of TSR-022 in combination with TSR-042 or docetaxel and as monotherapy.
The purpose of this survey is to collect information for scientific research and to better understand the role of systemic inflammation in identification, treatment and management of patients with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
