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 longitudinal, observational study with the goal of understanding vaginal microbiome changes both within a single day and across a menstrual cycle. The study will be composed of at least 10 women that have regular menstrual cycles and are 18 years of age or older. This study is direct to participant and will NOT utilize clinical sites.
Anhedonia, i.e., reduced positive mood and decreased sensitivity to rewards, is observed in many psychiatric illnesses, particularly depression and anxiety disorders. Untreated anhedonia predicts worse clinical outcomes and poorer response to treatment, yet cognitive behavioral treatment approaches to target anhedonia are fraught with poor patient compliance in real-life settings. The proposed study aims to address this gap by 1) testing the usefulness of a non-invasive, computationally informed, cognitive training in boosting reward sensitivity and reducing anhedonia in depressed and anxious patients, and 2) delineating the neurocomputational mechanisms of change associated with such intervention. In other words, can we train the brain to obtain rewards and boost positive mood among depressed and anxious individuals? This project will help to develop a computational training protocol aimed at reducing anhedonia and improving existing interventions for psychiatric conditions characterized by reward processing deficits. Long-term goals include expanding this framework to a broader range of appetitive and social stimuli to develop precise cognitive training tools to treat anhedonia.
SHARE! the Self-Help and Recovery Exchange will engage peer workers in their Peer Toolkit training, which is designed to improve the performance of peer workers in their provision of peer support. The Peer Toolkit training currently has a waitlist of peer workers interested in taking the course for professional development purposes. These peer workers and their supervisors will be invited to complete a web-based survey at baseline and 4-month follow-up. Peer workers will be randomly assigned to enroll in the Peer Toolkit training immediately or after the follow-up survey. Analyses will compare participants who had the opportunity to complete the training to those still waiting to start the training. This study will inform the use of the Peer Toolkit as a training mechanism to build the capacity of peer workers in the mental health workforce.
The purpose of this pilot study is to conduct research into the value of using the T-Break Guide for assisting people taking a tolerance break from cannabis. The hope is that this initial research will yield some insights and benchmarks into the Guide's efficacy, and provide a foundation for a later randomized control study. The following are some key research questions: 1. How did participants use the Guide? (Eg: daily; read once; 'a la carte') 2. How did using the Guide increase fidelity to tolerance break (starting, continuing, completing a break)? 3. Did using the Guide yield any benefits beyond tolerance break fidelity? (Eg: insight into patterns of use)
The main goals of this study are: 1) To assess the relative bioavailability of a single oral dose of 400 mg maribavir commercial (marketed) tablet formulation administered with a low-fat/low-calorie meal relative to administration under fasting conditions. 2) To assess the relative bioavailability of a single oral dose of 400 mg maribavir commercial (marketed) tablet formulation administered with a high-fat/high calorie meal relative to administration under fasting conditions. A single dose of 400 mg maribavir (commercial [marketed] tablet formulation) will be administered orally under 3 different feeding conditions: 1. Fasting (Treatment A), 2. Fed following a low-fat/low-calorie meal (Treatment B), and 3. Fed following a high fat/high-calorie meal (Treatment C). There will be a washout period of a minimum of 72 hours between each single dose of investigational drug (ID) administration on Day 1 in each treatment cycle of 3 days. Pharmacokinetic samples will be collected at pre-dose and up to 36 hours post-dose in each treatment period. Safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the study by Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and clinical laboratory evaluations.
This will be a prospective randomized controlled trial with sixty adults, 20 to 40 years of age. There will be three groups as follows: the normal group, control group, and intervention group where subjects will receive instructions for home use of TENS for pain reduction. The aim is for an equal distribution of males and females in each group.
The long-term goal of this project is to develop and test upper Iimb rehabilitation interventions that can improve bimanual motor function, or the ability to use both arms and hands together, for stroke survivors with moderate to severe impairment. This study will utilize a novel method of non-invasive brain stimulation in conjunction with upper limb training given for 12 visits over a period of 6 weeks. The study will include the following site visits: - Eligibility Screening and Informed Consent Visit - Baseline testing (4 visits total): 1 visit each for MRI, upper limb and bimanual motor function test, bimanual motor control, and neurophysiology related to control of the upper limbs - Repeat baseline testing (4 visits total) of MRI, upper limb and bimanual motor function test, bimanual motor control, and neurophysiology related to control of the upper limbs - 12 intervention visits during which patients will receive upper limb therapy in conjunction with non-invasive brain stimulation - Repeat testing (4 visits total) of MRI, upper limb and bimanual motor function test, bimanual motor control, and neurophysiology related to control of the upper limbs - A follow-up visit 1 month after the completion of interventions
Open label clinical trial of persons (adults) that will determine the safety and efficacy of the diet supplement oral mitoquinone/mitoquinol mesylate (Mito-MES) to prevent the development and progression of severe viral infections like COVID-19 after high-risk exposure to a person with possible respiratory viral infection such as SARS-CoV-2 infection in persons who will receive Mito-MES compared to persons who will not receive Mito-MES (controls).
The purpose of this study is to quantify and publish participants' relative preferences for outcomes of chemotherapy and novel oral hormonal agents when added to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for participants with locally-advanced and metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). This study will also quantify the importance of administration factors related to convenience relative to treatment outcomes.
This research study is being done to better understand the effects of kava supplementation on sleep quality and salivary cortisol in the context of the acute physical and psychological stress of military special forces preparation training. Kava is a botanical dietary supplement derived from the plant Piper methysticum. Cortisol is a hormone associated with stress.
