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.
To assess the blood levels of hypericin and any electrocardiogram (ECG) changes during 8 weeks of HyBryte (topical hypericin ointment) photodynamic therapy.
This is a randomized trial to examine the influence of race-congruent food marketing on social media among Black and White adolescents.
1. To assess the safety of endovascular therapy (balloon angioplasty) for venous stenoses in MS patients with CCSVI as documented by sonographic (extracranial echocolor-Doppler (ECD) and transcranial color Doppler (TCD) 2. To study the morphology of the venous anomalies by using intraluminal ultrasound (IVUS). 3. To evaluate preliminary efficacy of endovascular therapy (angioplasty) as measured by clinical (relapse rate, disability progression (EDSS)), sonographic (ECD/TCD) and MRI/MRV parameters. 4. To evaluate change in patients self-reported QOL following the therapeutic angioplasty 5. To evaluate whether changes in QOL, fatigue, MSFC or attention following therapeutic angioplasty are associated with brain changes as measured by functional MRI (fMRI).
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to rigorously assess the efficacy of an 8-week social engagement OneClick intervention. A total of 120 older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment (60 per group) will be randomized after a baseline assessment to the social engagement OneClick intervention group or the waitlist control group. Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive the social engagement OneClick intervention for 8 weeks, and will complete a mid-assessment at week 4, and a post-assessment at week 8. Participants assigned to the waitlist control group will receive no intervention for the first 8 weeks and will complete assessments at week 4 and week 8. Subsequently, as an extension to this study, participants assigned to the waitlist control group will have an opportunity to participate in 8 weeks of social engagement OneClick intervention, with intervention effects assessed at week 4 and week 8.
The objective of this study was to determine the chronic effects of beetroot juice supplementation on the acute (90-minute post nitrate consumption) efficacy of converting dietary nitrate to plasma nitrate and plasma nitrite in healthy middle-to-older aged adults. the investigators were also interested in determining the effect of this intervention on fasting levels of plasma nitrate and nitrite over time. Furthermore, the number of participants classified as "non-responders" was determined based on increases in plasma nitrite achieved using tolerable volumes of beetroot juice by other studies.
The Dozee VS device developed by Turtle Shell Technologies Pvt. Ltd., is a contactless continuous vital parameters monitoring system. It is designed for continuous and contactless measurement of Heart Rate (HR) and Respiratory Rate (RR). The device uses the concept of ballistocardiography and deploys piezoelectric sensors to capture the micro-vibrations originating from cardiac contractions, upper respiratory tract activity and body movements. This data is then analyzed by a proprietary algorithm and the values of the vital parameters - Heart Rate (HR) and Respiratory Rate (RR) are generated. The captured vital parameters can be accessed remotely via a dashboard which can be accessed on any web browser and a smartphone application. The sensor sheet is placed below the mattress and captures data while the user is resting or sleeping and does not require a sensor to be fixed to the body. It consists of the following sub - units: Contactless sensor sheet, Dozee Pod with power cord, 5 Volt Universal Serial Bus (USB) Power Adapter, Health data compute server and Web Dashboard/Mobile App. This provides a more comfortable solution for long-term continuous patient monitoring. Continuous monitoring of people's vital signs, in particular Heart Rate (HR) and Respiratory Rate (RR), may provide a mechanism to alert doctors or nurses of clinical deterioration. Monitoring people's vital signs outside an ICU often relies on nursing staff conducting checks at set intervals. The device can reduce the workload for nursing staff in non-ICU wards.
To study the effects of MDMA, compared to a prototypical stimulant, on social motivation, social ability, and neural indices of social function in healthy volunteers
The purpose of this study is to test an intervention to improve health promoting behaviors in family caregivers of patients receiving cancer therapy
The overarching purpose of this proposed research is to determine whether BDNF and/or specific miRNAs can serve as biomarkers for recovery from a concussion during prescribed exercise. The investigators hypothesize salivary BDNF and specific miRNA signatures will change in a statistically significant manner as participants proceed from injury to recovery and participants who show recovery in ANS regulation will show significant differences in salivary BDNF and specific miRNA expression. This study also aims to determine if BDNF and/or specific miRNA can serve as biomarkers of the return of ANS function in concussed patients. The basic premise here is that the volume of exercise will significantly affect the rate of change in the expression of salivary BDNF and miRNA from injury to recovery.
In this study, the investigators will test the effectiveness of a digital, single-session mental health intervention. There will be two conditions: the COMET intervention and the control group. The program, COMET (Common Elements Toolbox), will include a variety of modules which will focus on cognitive restructuring, gratitude, behavioral activation, and self-compassion. A similar intervention has previously been tested with Indian adolescents and adapted for US graduate students.
