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.
High blood pressure (BP) is a public health problem worldwide. Nearly three-quarters of older adults (age ~60 years) in the United States have high BP. High BP links to many health problems, like stroke. Drug treatments are typically used in clinics to reduce high BP and the risk of associated health problems. However, these drug treatments may not always benefit brain health. For example, drug treatment may reduce brain blood flow, which may reduce cognitive function in older adults with high BP. Alternatively, reduced brain blood flow may cause high BP due to increased nervous system activity (the so-called "fight or flight response"). Thus, monitoring brain blood flow may help to manage high BP during drug treatment. It is unknown if brain blood flow and its control will be altered by drug treatment in older high BP patients. Therefore, study team will recruit older adults with high BP, who receive either drug treatment or a placebo for 2 weeks and will assess brain blood flow, cognitive function, and nervous system control before and after treatment. Results from this study will provide novel and clinically relevant information on the impact of drug treatment for high BP on brain health. Investigators expect these results will suggest that it is crucial to measure brain blood flow, which may be a therapeutic new target for BP control and brain health.
Participants will have a sample of their white blood cells, called T cells, collected using a procedure called leukapheresis. The collected T cells will be sent to a laboratory to be changed (modified) to become 19-28z/IL-18, the CAR T-cell therapy that participants will receive during the study. Making the participants' study therapy will take about 2-4 weeks.
To learn if hypophysectomy (treatment of the pituitary gland) using a type of radiation treatment called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can help to relieve cancer-related pain.
This is a multicenter, Phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate DCC-3084 alone or in combination with other cancer therapies in participants with advanced cancers. Module A will enroll participants with solid tumors. Additional modules exploring other cancers may be added to the master protocol at a later date. Each module will be conducted in 2 parts: Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Dose Expansion).
The goal of this cohort observational study is to compare in the survival rate of ceramic dental implants placed in patients with missing or hopeless teeth . The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Are there any significant differences in survival rate between the use of one-piece ceramic implant versus the two-piece (TL) variant? - What are the complications associated to the procedure and differences between the two groups.
The effects of exercise on prevention and improved control of chronic diseases, reduced mortality, and improved quality of life are well established. Exercise has been shown to prevent heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and certain types of cancers. In addition to prevention, physical activity is included in the standard or care for many chronic diseases and used in treatment. For example, the American Diabetes Association has identified positive health behaviors like physical activity as foundational in the treatment and management of disease and improving overall quality of life. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Exercise is Medicine Program (EIM) is a physician referral program that aims to increase physical activity to prevent and reduce complications from chronic disease. The integration of technology among a 65+ population of EIM participants provides a novel approach to improving individual's health. Thus, our study aims to provide EIM participants aged 65+ with smartwatches in the hopes of increasing their overall physical activity levels.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of two spinal manipulations in adults between the ages of 18-65 based on the results of a non-invasive clinical test. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does matched or unmatched region of manipulation based on the CTDT result in greater reduction of pain levels and improvement in range of motion in adults with neck pain compared to unmatched manipulations? Participants will be asked to: - rate their pain with neck movement, complete brief questionnaires about their pain, - have their neck range of motion measured, - perform a test known as the cervico-thoracic differentiation test (CTDT), - receive either a cervical or thoracic manipulation, - repeat the range of motion measurements. - A second session will occur 7-10 days later where questionnaires and range of motion measures will be repeated. Researchers will compare the effects of manipulation matched to CTDT test result to individuals in the unmatched CTDT manipulation group to see if the CTDT may indicate which region will provide a greater treatment effect for individuals with neck pain.
To learn about the safety of giving the drug brexucabtagene autoleucel to participants with relapsed/refractory B-cell ALL after treatment with inotuzumab ozogamicin, blinatumomab, and either hyper-CVAD or mini-hyper-CVD. Also, to learn if giving brexucabtagene autoleucel to patients with relapsed/refractory or high-risk, newly diagnosed B-cell ALL after treatment with inotuzumab ozogamicin, blinatumomab, and either hyper-CVAD or mini-hyper-CVD can help to control the disease.
The purpose of this research study is to test whether completion of a new personalized feedback program is associated with reductions in risky substance use among emerging adults (18-25 years of age).
This study aims to investigate how non-invasive, non-significant risk EMG monitoring can be used intraoperatively to objectively characterize neuraxial anesthesia (i.e. spinal and caudal blockade) in pediatric patients undergoing surgery. The investigators will also attempt to measure the effect of adjunctive intrathecal clonidine on spinal and caudal blockade using EMG. This study also aims to quantify the impact of sevoflurane on basal muscle tone based on EMG changes. This study aims to generate pilot data on this subject to help design future studies.
