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 study is to confirm the safety and performance of the AETOS Shoulder System for USA adoption. This is a prospective, open, adaptive, non-comparative, multi-centre investigation enrolling a maximum of 220 subjects in 2 cohorts (anatomic and reverse) at up to 15 sites. No intra-study comparator group will be included, and there will be no randomization
Chemodenervation of the bladder with onabotulinum toxin A is an effective treatment option for patients with refractory urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). It is often performed as an office-based procedure under local anesthesia. Alternatively, it can be performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. The ability to receive intra-detrusor chemodenervation in the office allows patients to avoid the risks associated with general anesthesia and is significantly more cost effective. The procedure, however, is painful and can be anxiety provoking for patients; especially given that patients typically return every six to nine months for repeat injections. Relaxation and distraction techniques are one way to ease patients' anxiety before an office-based procedure. While we do not know exactly how anxiety provoking office bladder chemodenervation is for patients, we do know that anxiety disorders are highly prevalent in women with overactive bladder as a population. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether women with Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) who receive office intra-detrusor chemodenervation injections performed in a relaxing environment of lavender aromatherapy, calming music, dim lighting, and modest positioning (Relaxing Environment Package) will have decreased anxiety and pain as well as increased post-procedure satisfaction compared to patients who receive chemodenervation in a typical office environment. Also investigate whether exposure to the relaxing environment impacts the well-being of staff involved in these procedures. This study design is a randomized control trial. Women scheduled for office intra-detrusor chemodenervation at Atrium Health women's Care Urogynecology & Pelvic Surgery - Mercy clinic will be invited to participate. Participants will be randomized to the relaxing environment package or the placebo group after informed consent is obtained and immediately before undergoing intra-detrusor chemodenervation. The participants will complete the pre-procedure visual analog scale (VAS) for anxiety and a VAS for pain at baseline.
Oral disulfiram (Antabuse®) has been shown to improve image-forming vision in animal models with retinal degeneration due to its ability to decrease Retinoic Acid synthesis and consequently reduce hyperactivity in the inner retina. The investigator will aim to evaluate the impact of oral disulfiram on the vision of patients with retinal degeneration who are being treated with the drug in the management of their concurrent alcohol use disorder.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the disease-free survival between participants receiving treatment with TAR-210 versus investigator's choice of intravesical chemotherapy for treatment of intermediate-risk NMIBC.
The overall goal of this research is use digital health to augment the clinical encounter with Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) clinicians and prevent rapid infant weight gain among children living in low-income households. Intervening on weight gain during infancy offers an opportunity to influence lifelong obesity risk. Using personalized motivational messages and targeted skills-training resources, the intervention will support parents and caregivers in adopting responsive feeding strategies. Knowledge gained from this project will be used to develop a future, larger grant submission focused on developing healthy feeding and eating habits among mother-infant dyads.
The overall goal of this study is to examine the efficacy of the video-based Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) (hereafter VIDEO), or the video-based DSMES+community health worker (CHW) intervention (hereafter VIDEO+CHW), compared with a wait-list control group (hereafter CONTROL) to improve glycemic control among Chinese immigrants with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes in NYC.
The goal of this IDEAL project is to examine the effectiveness and implementation process of the video-based Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) + community health worker (CHW) (hereafter: "IDEAL") intervention compared with a wait-list control group (hereafter: "CONTROL") to improve glycemic control among Chinese immigrants with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in New York City (NYC). Participants will be randomized with equal allocation to one of the 2 groups. The IDEAL group will receive 1 DSMES brief video/week for 24 weeks delivered via text message. The CHW will assess participants' SDOH barriers to T2D care and link them to available resources in the community. The CONTROL group will continue to receive their usual care and at the end of the study, they will receive DSMES videos.
When linking dietary interventions and blood glucose management, much of the existing research - particularly studies exploring the effects of vinegar - has relied on discrete readings from the conventional testing methods: blood samples or glucometers. These methods lack the capacity to provide insights into blood glucose dynamics 24/7. Recognizing this gap, the current study aims to utilize continuous glucose monitoring to examine the impact of daily vinegar ingestion on glucose variability in adults identified as glucose intolerant.
The goal of this pilot study is to test key elements of the full study that will follow, including recruitment and retention strategies, intervention delivery, laboratory testing, data collection methods, and adherence to study protocol. The main questions the investigators aim to answer focus on implementation and practicality: - Recruitment feasibility and time to recruit - How well do participants adhere to device protocol? - How often do device components (i.e., actuators and drivers) have to be replaced? - How much time is required for data collection and what sources or methods for data collection are used? Results of this pilot study will inform the investigators as to necessary protocol modifications and overall feasibility for the larger randomized clinical trial to follow.
Purpose: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with elevated oxidative stress, and oxidative stress has been implicated as the cause of reduced endothelial reactivity in individuals with PAD. Endothelial function is important because the endothelium contributes to the dilation of arteries during exercise, thereby implicating impaired endothelial function as a mechanism contributing to exacerbated exercise-induced ischemia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that acute exogenous diroximel fumarate (Vumerity) intake will improve antioxidant capacity, thereby reducing oxidative stress and improving vascular function and walking capacity in those with PAD. Eligibility: Individuals with PAD will be deemed eligible for this study if they 1) are 50-75 years old and postmenopausal, 2) have a positive history of exercise-limiting claudication (Fontaine II or III), 3) do not have renal impairments, 4) do not have Fontaine stage IV PAD, and 5) are not currently pregnant or nursing. Age-matched controls will be deemed eligible for this study if they 1) are 50-75 years old and postmenopausal, 2) have an ABI greater than 0.9 (no PAD), 3) do not have exercise-limiting diseases or injuries, 4) do not have renal impairments, and 5) are not currently pregnant or nursing. Intervention and Evaluation: During this study, participants will be administered diroximel fumarate or a placebo, and the acute effects of diroximel fumarate on vascular function and walking capacity will be assessed. Vascular function and walking capacity will be assessed with flow-mediated dilation, arterial stiffness, head-up tilt test, blood biomarkers, near-infrared spectroscopy, and a treadmill test. Follow-up: There will be a follow-up visit to assess blood work after diroximel fumarate.
