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.
Obesity rates in reproductive aged women in the United States are rising. It is now universally accepted that obesity is associated with many adverse pregnancy outcomes and post-operative complications following cesarean section. Recent studies have also shown an increased rate of cesarean section in obese women, adding to the already elevated rate of complications and adverse outcomes. Given the increased a priori risk for obese patients, it is vital that the investigators reexamine management practices routinely used for normal weight women in this specific high-risk population. Passive descent has been shown to increase the spontaneous vaginal delivery rate in non-obese women; however, high quality studies have never been performed in obese women. the investigators hypothesize that passive descent could improve the spontaneous vaginal delivery rate in nulliparous, obese women with regional anesthesia. This study will randomize women to passive descent for ninety minutes or active pushing upon entry into the second stage. Further, given that passive descent is widely accepted in the midwifery literature and clinical practice, the investigators anticipate that a high-quality study in the physician literature could increase the dialogue between practitioners and lead to development of best practices in this high-risk population.
Botox acts on nerve endings, yet there are no nerve endings inside the muscle, where they are typically injected. All nerves terminate on the fascia, where ASIS device can precisely deliver Botox by creating that subdermal bloodless space, between the skin and muscle. Thus enhancing and prolonging Botox's efficacy, at the same time prevent it's unnecessary adverse reactions and distant spread, especially since Botox has no reason to travel to the rest of the body any way.

Will adult liver transplant patients who are provided with physical activity (walking) instructions increase their physical activity and perceive an improved quality of life?
The investigators aim to test the hypothesis that dietary supplementation with VASCAZEN will correct omega-3 deficiency in cardiac rehab patients and improve biochemical risk factors.
This study will compare blood collection from the forearm using an investigational device TAP20-C to blood collection from the fingertip.
Neuroendocrine cancer is an unusual disease and often goes undetected by routine imaging. The 68Ga-DOTATATE PET Scan is a novel scanning method that may have improved sensitivity and resolution specifically for neuroendocrine tumors. Patients with neuroendocrine tumors will be imaged with this agent and it will be compared to conventional imaging methods to determine the safety and efficacy of this radiopharmaceutical.
The purpose of this study is to provide a tool for physicians to compare outcome data related to the use of the HALO Ablation Systems. This study is a single-center patient registry which will contribute to a framework for treatment and follow-up of patients with Barrett's Esophagus.
Past research has shown that items self-generated by an individual, such as words or concepts, are remembered better than items that are simply read or heard. The current study seeks to demonstrate the effectiveness of using the principles of the generation effect in a treatment intervention to improve memory and functional performance in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis who have learning and memory difficulties.The main purpose of the study is to conduct an experimental investigation on the effects of a self-generation strategy treatment, embedded within practice of various activities ranging from laboratory tasks (e.g. words and concepts) to functional tasks (e.g. activities of daily living). The treatment to be tested is geared toward helping patients selfdiscover their own strengths and abilities while using self-generation to be able to utilize it independently in everyday life situations. Design: The proposed pilot study is a randomized clinical trial. Participants: Participants will include forty (40) persons with MS, between the ages of 18 and 65, who demonstrate memory impairments. Half of the participants will receive the self-generation training while learning different types of tasks (experimental group) and half of the participants (control group) will be asked to learn the same information but will receive a conventional practice (e.g. repetitions). Expected results: We expect that participants undergoing the self-generation-training intervention will show better memory performance, functional performance, quality of life, and satisfaction with treatment and life compared to participants in the control condition.
