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.
This clinical trial examines the efficacy of a Sensory-Adapted Dental Environment (SADE) in reducing anxiety and improving behavioral outcomes in children with sensory processing disorders during routine dental visits. By modifying the dental setting to accommodate sensory sensitivities-such as using dim lighting, noise-canceling headphones, and non-threatening dental tools-the study aims to create a more comfortable dental experience for these children. This research could potentially inform broader pediatric dentistry practices, making dental care more accessible and less distressing for children with sensory sensitivities.
This phase II trial compares the effect of rectus sheath block with liposomal bupivacaine to thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) on pain control in patients following surgical removal of all or part of the pancreas and duodenectomy (pancreatoduodenectomy). Administering long acting local anesthetics, such as liposomal bupivacaine, in between the muscle layers of the abdomen (rectus sheath block) may help with pain relief during and after surgery. TEA uses a needle to insert a flexible plastic catheter into the thoracic spine to administer anesthetic and pain medication, such as bupivacaine and hydromorphone, to treat pain in the thoracic and upper abdominal areas during and after surgery. Epidurals have been successfully used to treat pain after surgery, however, it does have a risk of low blood pressure which may limit the use in the thoracic approach. Rectus sheath blocks with liposomal bupivacaine may be as effective as TEA in reducing pain in patients following a pancreatoduodenectomy.
The investigators will test if the 50,000 for Life (50K4Life) is effective at improving walking engagement in school employees in 30 public schools by delivering a two-phased adaptive intervention to improve walking engagement in school workers in 30 public schools. In Phase 1, all study schools will be randomly assigned to a 50K4Life only, or 50K4Life + SMS Text Messaging group. In Phase 2, non-responder schools will be randomly assigned to one of two 6-month adaptive treatments: a) an individual-level intervention that includes remote education modules (REM) and one-to-one monthly phone-based coaching, or, b) a school-level intervention that includes group educational sessions, school environmental modifications (floor distance markings, signage in corridors and breakrooms, promotional items), and work time/weekend group walks/hikes. The schools that 50% or more participants who achieve 50,000 steps in one week will continue with the Phase 1 condition. Intervention strategies will be coordinated by health educators and managed using the Pathverse app. Data collection will occur at baseline, 8 weeks (Phase 2 randomization decision point), 8 months (immediate post intervention), 12 months (4 months post-intervention), and 18 months (10 months post-intervention) for a total of 18 months of study participation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and drug levels of orally administered BMS-986368 in healthy participants, healthy elderly participants, and healthy participants of japanese ethnicity.
The goal of this observational study is to leverage childhood cancer survivor input to adapt video content of a digital video disc-(DVD) delivered evidence-based PA intervention, originally designed for community-dwelling older adults. Primary Objective: - To leverage childhood cancer survivor input to adapt video content for an evidence-based remote exercise intervention.
This is a randomized pilot study to test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel conservative care (CC) pathway among patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have chosen to forgo initiation of maintenance dialysis, their caregivers and providers.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with blebectomy/wedge resection plus pleurodesis is the standard of care for recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) or, in certain instances, after the first episode. The chest tube from surgery is typically kept to suction until post-operative day (POD) 2 to allow for scarring of the lung to the chest to prevent recurrence. However, the scarring process takes place over a period of weeks and is there no data to support POD#2 as the best time to remove the chest tube. Also, shorter chest tube duration can lower length of stay, patient discomfort, and hospital cost. The goal of this randomized study is to determine if early removal (POD#1) of chest tube after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with blebectomy/wedge resection plus chemical pleurodesis for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP): - has no worse 2-year recurrence rate compared to standard removal (POD#2) - will lower length of stay compared to standard removal - will result in less complications or re-interventions compared to standard removal Participants will be asked to join prior to surgery. Following standard-of-care surgery, participants will be screened for randomization. If still eligible, participants will be randomized for early chest tube removal or standard removal. Early Removal will happen within 24 hours after surgery, with Standard Removal happening day 2 after surgery. Participants will follow-up with the study team for 2 years on the following schedule: - In clinic with a chest x-ray 2 weeks after surgery - By phone 3 months after surgery - In clinic with a chest x-ray 1 year after surgery - In clinic with a chest x-ray 2 years after surgery
The Jacobs Institute is participating in a study designed to collect prospective clinical evidence to evaluate the approved use of the Pipeline™ Flex Embolization Device with Shield Technology™ for the endovascular treatment of adults (22 years of age or older) with wide-necked intracranial aneurysms
This is a study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of sonelokimab administered subcutaneously compared with placebo in the treatment of adult participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to either sonelokimab or matching placebo up to Week 16.
A Phase 3 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Global Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Delpacibart Etedesiran (abbreviated del-desiran, formerly AOC 1001) for the Treatment of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
