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.
Fatigue is a strong predictor of negative health outcomes in older adults. The research in this study will compared the effects of 8-weeks of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs: dietary supplements commonly taken to improve muscle growth and exercise performance) added to exercise on fatigue compared to exercise with a placebo (an inactive, harmless substance). BCAAs could have an impact on improving fatigue common in older adults, especially when exercising.
This is a single centre, three-arm randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group, single-dose, active and placebo-controlled efficacy and pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 x 200 mg Ibuprofen Liquid Capsules in subjects with post-operative dental pain.
The high need population are patients who have three or more chronic diseases and have a functional limitation in their ability to take care for themselves. Investigators aim to understand the effects of a support group intervention, with the use of group medical visits and understand longitudinal effects in emotional wellbeing and loneliness.
This study will address the following aims: Aim 1: Design a family-centered whole foods diet adapted from the 2020-2025 DGA framework for 8-12 families that include an index parent (25-59 years) with medically managed prediabetes and their biological offspring (6-17 years). Aim 2: Test the feasibility, acceptability, enrollment, retention, and completion rates of a 2-week family-centered whole foods-based diet for 8-12 families that include an index parent (25-59 years) with medically managed prediabetes and their biological offspring 6-17 years. Aim 3: Estimate and compare differences in baseline and 2-week body mass change (e.g., BMI, BMI percentiles and Z-scores, waist circumference) and diet quality for the index parent and their enrolled biological offspring.
This will be a study looking at trying to change community-dwelling older adults' behavior in regard to good sleep hygiene practices. Investigators will assess the efficacy through subjective outcome measures and objective physiological markers of good sleep through data collected with wearable technology devices.
The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of the mobile HIV behavioral intervention for African American transgender women (Shine). Participants will be 215 trans women recruited by staff of the Trans Women of Color Collective via community events and social media. Participants must : 1) identify as a Black transgender woman using the 2-step method (Step 1: assigned male birth sex, Step 2: current gender identity is female); 2) be aged 18 or older; 3) report risk of HIV transmission in past 3 months (i.e., CAS with a serodiscordant or risky partner AND either <90% ART adherence or <5 daily doses of PrEP per week); 4) own a smartphone; and 5) be able to read and speak English. Eligible participants who subsequently provide informed consent will complete two confidential phone-based research surveys at different time points (baseline and 6 months post-baseline) and will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions (Shine or mobile HIV education for transgender women). Participants randomly assigned to the experimental condition will be instructed to text the word "Join" to the Shine study phone number. The intervention will take approximately 1-2 hours, with content delivered over several weeks. Participants randomly assigned to the control condition will be texted a link to a set of videos on healthy HIV-related behaviors for transgender women. These videos cover a variety of topics, including recommended testing frequencies, PrEP, and ART. After randomization, participants will complete the baseline research survey. This survey will assess the primary outcome of composite HIV transmission risk along with several secondary outcomes (individual behavioral components of the composite score; HIV medical care utilization and adherence; HIV testing; PrEP knowledge, interest, and uptake; gender affirmation; well-being; social support; sexual communication). Six months after the baseline research survey, all participants will complete a follow-up research survey assessing the same outcome measures in the baseline research survey. Binomial logistic regression will be the main analytic technique for the primary measure (composite risk for HIV transmission). For the secondary continuous measures, hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) will be used. All models will control for any demographic covariate (e.g., age) that varies at the .2 significance level due to randomization failure at baseline.
This is a randomized control trial of vertical climbing ergometer exercise for individuals with chronic low back pain. Using a parallel-arm design, participants will be randomized to 8 weeks of supervised exercise using either the vertical climbing ergometer (CLMBR) or a recumbent cycling ergometer. This feasibility study will examine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of vertical climbing exercise for individuals with chronic low back pain.
The purpose of this study is to figure out if mothers can learn how to use singing to help their babies. Singing can help babies calm down or encourage them to play, both of which are needed for learning.
The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate noninferiority in the visual acuity at distance when wearing PRECISION1™ for Astigmatism (P1fA) soft contact lenses compared to another commercially available, soft toric contact lens, MyDay® toric (MDT).
The objective of the study is to collect and process urine samples from Intensive Care Unit (ICU) subjects with moderate to severe (Stage 2 or 3) acute kidney injury (AKI) for use in assessing the effects of urine sample freezing and various storage conditions on NEPHROCLEAR™ CCL14 Test results. This study is observational and will have no impact on the medical management of the subject.
