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.
The goal of this study is to examine the efficacy of an integrated solution, defined as a combination of the Abbott FreeStyle Libre 14-day CGM sensor and the Omada care team's receipt of real-time, continuous glucose data from the sensor and incorporation of this data into their care delivery within the context of the Omada for Diabetes program for adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). This randomized control trial will test the impact of the integrated solution on HbA1c, CGM-derived metrics and other relevant diabetes management outcomes over six months compared to the current standard of care.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the use of Healthdot devices on bariatric patients in the USA. Healthdot is a wearable monitoring device that can collect data on heart rate, respiration rate, posture, and activity. This device can be worn at the hospital and at home. The Healthdot will be able to send data and have good connectivity in a place where there is network coverage(4G/5G).
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a debilitating condition that disproportionately affects women Veterans (25% vs. 16% of civilian women). Predisposing factors include higher rates of strenuous physical activity during military service, duty-related injuries, psychiatric distress, and sexual trauma. CPP is associated with a high burden of illness, disability, and economic costs (estimated at $5.8 billion in annual health care expenditures). Multimodal, interdisciplinary approaches are emphasized in the treatment of CPP. Psychological interventions are essential for optimizing pain self-management for CPP. Psychosocial factors are known to affect pain intensity and recovery. Women Veterans report higher rates of depression and anxiety with CPP, that leads to greater disability and poorer quality of life. Cognitive and behavioral therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), are effective options for pain self-management. Barriers to effective pain treatment are high attrition and non-adherence. Additionally, women Veterans prefer treatments that address their gender-specific needs. Gender-specific services remain limited in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). In line with VHA's priorities to expand women's health care, this study implements ACT in a brief intervention format to address a highly prevalent reproductive health issue among women Veterans. ACT is transdiagnostic and thus provides a unified approach to the treatment of co-occurring disorders, such as chronic pain, depression, and anxiety. Brief workshop formats increase treatment completion and patient engagement. This study seeks to adapt an existing 1-day ACT workshop for use in VHA integrated primary care (PCMHI) and specialty medical settings with women veterans experiencing CPP. Primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the adapted intervention.
The purpose of this study is to assess the preliminary efficacy, safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of Daxdilimab in participants with moderate to severe AA, with ≥50% and ≤95% total scalp hair loss as defined by the SALT score at Screening and Day 1.
MIDCAB is defined as a group of ultrasound guided distal nerve blocks at the level of the individual branches. It is similar to an Ultrasound Guided (USG) Ankle block but the probe is placed higher on the calf covering all and any surgery of the foot and ankle, providing prolonged analgesia since we are blocking the individual nerves and preserving the proximal motor function. This study is determining the potential therapeutic effect of MIDCAB during the hospital stay and recovery period in patients undergoing foot/ankle surgeries that require spinal anesthetic and peripheral nerve blocks. A total of 20 patients at HSS will participate to see if MIDCAB is not only effective at providing analgesia (pain relief) but to see if it allows allows patients to maintain motor function (movement) of the foot and ankle unlike the current popliteal block which is done above the knee and prevents patients from moving their foot. During the course of the study we will also be looking at patients numeric pain scores with movement and at rest along with post-operative nausea and vomiting, the presence of numbness and it patients can move their foot. Along with all of these, the study will also look at the amount of opioid pain medications taken by patients along with medication-related side effects. As a result, the study will be used to determine if MIDCAB provides analgesia for patients undergoing foot/ankle surgery while allowing them to maintain movement of the foot. This pilot study will also be used to gather preliminary data that will allow us to perform a power analysis for a subsequent randomized clinical control trial that would compare the MIDCAB block to the popliteal block.
This study will investigate antibody levels with respect to time since receiving a COVID-19 booster shot. The study will be decentralized, where participants can complete all study tasks at home. Self-reported participant information will be collected via surveys conducted at intake and monthly throughout the study. Participants will also perform monthly at-home capillary blood draws via YourBio devices that will be mailed to the designated laboratory for sample processing and antibody testing.
The objective of this study is to implement and test the efficacy of the "Summer Harvest Adventure," a comprehensive garden-based behavioral, social, and environmental intervention for children (ages 8-11 years) residing in low-resource communities.
Patients with obesity and cirrhosis benefit from weight loss but are prone to sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass, strength, and function). This study proposes to test a specialized weight loss program Alternative-day Modified Fasting (ADMF) designed to promote weight loss and preserve skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function in patients with both Child-Pugh (CP) class A cirrhosis and obesity. This study will compare the effectiveness of the ADMF to Continuous Energy Restriction (CER) for 24-weeks. Both arms will receive a high-protein, high-BCAA diet, a late-night snack, supervised aerobic and resistance exercise, increased physical activity through self-monitoring, and group behavioral counseling. The primary aim of this trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of ADMF and CER for 6 months in patients with cirrhosis and obesity. The secondary aim is to compare changes in body composition in both diets.
This study randomizes patients to two commonly used peri-procedural antibiotics after gastric bypass with the pre and post-operative collection of stool samples, to identify significant differences in relative abundances of gut microbiota phyla, genera and species between the two antibiotic groups used. Gastric bypass may beneficially affect hypertension by altering the post-operative microbiome and specific antibiotics can further enhance the resolution rate by improving microbial diversity and richness.
The purpose of the WHISH STAR study is to investigate whether or not those who are randomized to exercise intervention have higher rates of atrial fibrillation on review of medical records and, in a subset, on screening with a cardiac ECG patch monitor. We will also study whether those with a known history of AF have any changes in AF hospitalizations due to exercise.
