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 is a study to determine how the viscosity (thickness) of an FDA approved gel affects the ease in which endoscopic mucosal resections (EMR) can be performed.
This study evaluates sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) for the treatment of postdural puncture headache (PDPH) in the emergency department (ED). Half of the patients will receive a true nerve block with lidocaine and bupivacaine. The other half will receive a placebo nerve block.
The objective of the study is to investigate effects of inorganic sodium nitrite on the cardiometabolic and hormonal disturbances observed in a targeted population of overweight/obese adults with metabolic syndrome and hypertension, at risk for insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of 35 EECP sessions on cardiopulmonary training performance in healthy volunteers. Data from this study will be used to generate sample size and power calculations for feasibility of future EECP studies. The results of this study could provide evidence that can help active duty and Department of Defense beneficiaries optimize physical conditioning, endurance and overall health.
A randomized, double blind, active controlled study in approximately 40 opioid dependent subjects. Study duration is up to five days and includes a maximum of 3 days confinement in the clinic. Opioid dependent subjects who provide informed consent meet all entry criteria are eligible for enrollment into the study.
The relationship between myopenia, nutritional status, and long-term oncologic outcomes remains poorly characterized in patients with anatomically resectable pancreatic cancer (PC). The investigators want to look at muscle properties in pancreatic cancer patients to determine possible therapeutic options toward better nutritional status. Patients with benign right upper quadrant pathology will be utilized as controls for the study. The researchers hypothesize that improving cancer cachexia in PC will improve the quality of life and ultimately increase overall survival. The long term goal of is to identify areas of intervention to prevent and/or improve cachectic events in PC in order to significantly improve clinical outcomes. The first step in this long term goal is to fully characterize cachexia in the condition of PC. This research is to understand and modify the local response within skeletal muscle leading to a clinically relevant persistent wasting and to understand and interrupt the systemic stimulus produced by the tumor local environment resulting in these muscle specific mechanisms.
This study will evaluate imaging characteristics of 18F-AV-1451 in subjects with subacute traumatic brain injury.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate anatomical and functional effect of combination therapy of Squalamine Lactate Ophthalmic Solution, 0.2% administered twice daily with monthly ranibizumab intravitreal injections in patients with choroidal neovascularization due to AMD.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that decreasing the inspired oxygen concentration during thoracic surgery requiring one lung ventilation will improve post-operative oxygenation.
This study has been designed as a randomized, double-blind trial to provide definitive evidence on the effects of ticagrelor and prasugrel on myocardial salvage in patients with anterior ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). This study will also measure the effects of ticagrelor vs. prasugrel on secondary endpoints listed above. This study design aims to test the hypothesis that ticagrelor will reduce myocardial infarct size as a proportion of the ischemic area at risk when compared to prasugrel.
