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.
Truckers face many unique challenges in their work that may adversely impact their health, including time constraints, sedentary job tasks, and a 'moving-workplace' environment with associated limitations to access healthy food and safe places to be physically active. These issues make it difficult to form and maintain healthy lifestyle habits and contribute to the high prevalence of injuries from both crashes and falls among truckers is supported by an increase in obesity among truckers with longer durations of employment. The investigators propose to develop and pilot test the Exercise Intervention of the Worksite Health, Eating and Exercising for the Long-haul (WHEEL)'s weight loss intervention. This pilot exercise intervention is aimed at achieving meaningful improvement in grip strength, balance, and gait over 6 weeks. The investigators will use pilot sample of 15 obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) truckers, documenting changes in these measures. Individualized assessments will be utilized. The investigators will aim to complete the following: 1. Evaluate the feasibility of the PIE WHEEL intervention for CMV drivers will result in greater strength comparing baseline with 6 week outcomes. 1. Determine the extent to which drivers will participate in PIE WHEEL 2. Determine the extent of change in strength, balance and gait realized by PIE WHEEL participation 2. Evaluate safety events (crashes, near misses, falls) in the week prior to PIE WHEEL and the final week of PIE WHEEL a. Solicit driver perceptions of their own safety of ingress and egress related to PIE WHEEL participation
This study is an etiologic trial to test the hypothesis that predicts that Helicobacter pylori eradication in asymptomatic/mildly dyspeptic adults will result in an increase in body iron. The study will assign and aims to complete the follow-up of 240 subjects half of them assigned to a highly effective FDA approved 14-day course of a 3-1 capsule containing bismuth subcitrate, metronidazole and tetracycline plus omeprazole which is now OTC. We have tested the effectiveness of this therapy in the study population and it seems to yield almost 100% eradication on PP analysis. We need the best possible, near 100% eradication rate, which we have already obtained in a pilot, to make comparisons on ITT basis and safely conclude that H pylori leads to a deficit of body iron.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether patients with cervical cancer treated with about a new radiation technique called "stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) have less stress and anxiety compared to standard brachytherapy radiation. With standard brachytherapy radiation, metal hardware is placed through the vagina and into the uterus, which can cause pain and discomfort. SBRT is a new radiation technique that is non-invasive and does not require the insertion of any metal hardware.
Cerebrovascular events, such as stroke, are a devastating complication of Fabry disease that results in part from storage of complex lipids in both large and small vessels. Understanding how the genotype influences the phenotype or clinical presentation can help us understand which patients are at risk for the complications of Fabry disease. This study aims to follow the natural history of this disease will help us understand and predict long-term outcomes for patients.
Patients suspected of having AV access stenosis will be referred to the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery by the dialysis center. Patients with signs of AV access failure who are found to have significant stenosis (more than 50%) at the venous end of the anastomosis will then be randomized to either high pressure balloon (Conquest) or to a cutting balloon (Boston scientific Balloon). Angiograms will then be performed before and after intervention.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to accelerate learning and improve memory performance in VNS implanted tinnitus participants by pairing VNS with a verbal paired-associate learning task.
The pectoralis block, including pecs I and II block, is a novel technique first described in 2011 as an alternative to paravertebral blockade for analgesia following breast surgery. The research goal is to determine the efficacy of the pectoralis block compared to placebo in improving quality of recovery following mastectomy.
To evaluate the feasibility of performing a randomized pilot control trial of two diagnostic screening strategies for necrotizing enterocolitis in patients with congenital heart disease. Measures to evaluate will be the ability to obtain consent from patients, percentage of eligible patients that are able to be recruited, coordination of providers, estimation of degree of crossover and ability to perform the screening exams per protocol.
This clinical trial is being conducted to compare concentrations of hydrocodone and acetaminophen in the blood after administration of different amounts of tablets of a new and a marketed tablet formulation in healthy adults. Part 1 is a randomized, single-site, open-label, 4-treatment, 4-period crossover, single oral dose Phase I trial in 32 healthy male and female subjects. Part will consist of an Enrollment Visit, 4 treatment periods (each lasting approximately 90 hours), and a Final Examination. The treatment periods will be separated by a washout period each lasting at least 7 days. Part 2 is optional and depending on pharmacokinetic data review after Part 1. It is a randomized, single-site, open-label, 2-treatment, 2-period crossover, single oral dose part in healthy male and female subjects. Part 2 will consist of an Enrollment Visit, 2 treatment periods (each lasting approximately 90 hours) and a Final Examination. The treatment periods will be separated by a washout period lasting at least 7 days. Participants must fast for approximately 10 hours prior to administration of Investigational medicinal product (IMP) and until approximately 4 hours after the administration of the IMP.
This clinical trial is being conducted to compare concentrations of hydrocodone and acetaminophen in the blood after administration of a new and a marketed tablet formulation under fasted and fed conditions in healthy adults. This is a randomized, single-site, open-label, 4-treatment, 4-period crossover, single oral dose Phase I trial in 32 healthy male and female subjects. The trial will consist of an Enrollment Visit, 4 treatment periods (each lasting approximately 60 hours) separated by 3 washout periods (each lasting at least 7 days), and a Final Examination.
