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.
More than 30% of Black women with obesity binge eat. Binge eating may increase the risk for the development of metabolic syndrome and binge-eating-disorder (BED), which is associated with severe obesity. Though several effective treatments for binge eating exist, Black women have not fared well. Not only has their inclusion in treatment trials been limited, but when participating, they are more likely to drop out, and/or lose less weight, compared to their White counterparts. Furthermore, treatment for binge eating is often not available in primary care and community-based settings places where Black women are more likely to receive treatment for their eating and weight-related concerns. Currently, there is scant intervention research to treat binge eating in Black women. With the highest rates of obesity (57%) nationally, Black women are in need of culturally-relevant treatments for binge eating and weight gain prevention. Given the established relationship between frequent binge eating and subsequent weight gain, addressing binge eating among Black women with obesity is imperative.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a clinical protocol based on the administration of intraoperative intravenous methadone followed by a short regimen of oral/IV (if the patient is not able to take oral) methadone following spine surgery and to evaluate if methadone decreases persistent opioid usage at 3 months in comparison to placebo.
The purpose of this waitlist-controlled, single-blind, one-way crossover, pilot trial is to evaluate the potential effects of ~8 weeks of chiropractic care on patient-reported fatigue and the autonomic nervous system in adults with long COVID. This study will allow us to estimate the standard deviation of the primary endpoint in our population with which a formal power calculation for a future randomized, controlled trial can be performed.
To Demonstrate Clinical Performance of the TriQuik Invitro Diagnostic Device
This is a prospective, non-randomized, non-blinded comparative study to evaluate the accuracy of pulse oximetry compared to co-oximetry in dark-skinned (Black) compared to lighter-skinned (White) children undergoing anesthesia, using standard FDA performance statistics as measured by mean bias and accuracy root mean squared to evaluate device performance.
The objective of this study is to evaluate and follow the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients undergoing 1 level TLIF randomized to either a titanium or a PEEK spacer to 24 months after surgery.
Patients with metastatic bladder cancer are usually treated with chemotherapy. If their cancers do not progress after chemotherapy, they can be enrolled into this study and receive a standard-of-care immunotherapy medication named avelumab plus a study drug named copanlisib.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) in children receiving mechanical ventilation (MV) after surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD). The main question it aims to answer is: -What is the impact of a CDSS designed to facilitate weaning and discontinuation of MV on the duration of MV in post-operative congenital cardiac surgery patients? Participants will be identified as eligible to initiate weaning from mechanical ventilation. Providers will decide whether or not to initiate weaning based on recommendations provided by the CDSS. Researchers will compare patients exposed to the CDSS with a historical cohort to see if the CDSS facilitated a decrease in MV duration.
This project is aiming to better understand the use of perampanel as an appropriate standard-of-care therapy for treatment refractory status epilepticus (RSE), to identify determinants of outcomes, and establish safety. The study will recruit 25 patients at WSU. The study will last for about 96 weeks and will involve a screening visit and two in clinic visits at 3 and 6 months. If the subjects give written informed consent and meet all eligibility criteria they will be clinically evaluated and will be given the study drug. This study will involve recording of patients medical history, drug history and epilepsy history. A physical exam and a and neurological exam will also be performed to study the heath status of the participant. Results and patient information will be stored in a database for analysis to find commonality among key factors that have been seen in past research.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the dimensional changes in the short and long-term in patients with thin gum tissues who have gum grafts placed on either denuded bone or gum grafts placed on a bone with some tissues remaining. The main question this study aims to answer is: - Does the placement of free-epithelized gingival grafts (gum grafts) on full thickness bed preparation (having all of the tissue removed from the bone) lead to similar clinical, digital, and patient-related outcomes and measurements over a period of 12 months versus split thickness bed preparation (where a small layer of tissue is left over the bone) in patients with thin gum tissue phenotypes (gum tissue is generally less than 1.5 millimeters) who are in need of soft tissue augmentation procedures? Participants will be asked to attend 8 visits, which include: (i) screening visit, (ii) prophylaxis visit, (iii) random assignment to Group A or Group B along with surgery and digital data collection, (iv) 2-week post-operative visit, (v) 6-week post-operative visit, (vi) 3-month follow-up visit, (vii) 6-month follow-up visit, (viii) 12-month follow-up visit. Also, Group A will have a free epithelialized gingival/mucosal graft (gum graft) placed on full thickness periosteal bed preparation where all of the tissue was removed (test group). Group B will have a free epithelialized gingival/mucosal graft (gum graft) on split thickness periosteal bed preparation where only a portion of the tissue was removed (control group). Researchers will compare Group A and Group B to see if there is a difference in clinical, digital, and patient-related outcomes and measurements over a period of 12 months.
