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.
Hypothesis: Ketorolac injection is a cost-effective adjunct in the nonoperative treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) compared to steroids and viscosupplementation. Aims/objectives: The objective of this randomized, controlled, double-blinded, prospective study is to assess the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of knee injection with ketorolac in the nonsurgical management of symptomatic OA compared to injections with corticosteroids and viscosupplements.
Chronic Pain is associated with morbidity and poor quality of life in patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Complementary therapies, such as yoga are beneficial in patients with non-SCD chronic pain conditions. Yoga was shown to be acceptable, feasible and helpful in one study in acute SCD pain. The purpose of the study is to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and safety of yoga for chronic pain in SCD.
Background: To effectively alleviate suffering and improve quality of life for patients with serious illness and their caregivers, palliative care (PC) services must be offered across multiple settings. Research is needed to determine how best to optimize home-based palliative care (HBPC) services to meet the needs of individuals with high symptom burden and functional limitations. Aim: The investigators will compare a standard HBPC model that includes routine home visits by a nurse and provider with a more efficient tech-supported HBPC model that promotes timely inter-professional team coordination via synchronous video consultation with the provider while the nurse is in the patient's home. The investigators hypothesize that tech-supported HBPC will be as effective as standard HBPC. Design: Cluster randomized trial. Registered nurses (n~130) will be randomly assigned to the tech-supported or standard HBPC model so that half of the patient-caregiver dyads will receive one of the two models. Setting/Participants: Kaiser Permanente (15 Southern California and Oregon sites). Patients (n=10,000) with any serious illness and a prognosis of 1-2 years and their caregivers (n=4,800) Methods: Patients and caregivers will receive standard PC services: comprehensive needs assessment and care planning, pain and symptom management, education/skills training, medication management, emotional/spiritual support; care coordination, referral to other services, and 24/7 phone assistance. Results: Primary patient outcomes: symptom improvement at 1 month and days spent at home in the last six months of life; caregiver outcome: perception of preparedness for caregiving. Conclusion: Should the more efficient tech-supported HBPC model achieves comparable improvements in outcomes that matter most to patients and caregivers, this would have a lasting impact on PC practice and policy.
This RCT is testing the efficacy of apneic oxygenation during endotracheal intubation in the emergency department. Currently the standard practice in the ED when performing endotracheal intubation is that some providers use apneic oxygenation (the application of a nasal cannula at 15LPM) throughout the intubation procedure, while others do not apply apneic oxygenation. Initial literature in the operating room showed that apneic oxygenation helps prevent desaturation during the procedure. However, the latest literature conducted in critical care settings (one study in the ICU and one in the ED) questions the efficacy of this intervention in critically ill patients; however, no harm has been shown. Our study aims to test this intervention further by adding in a special subset of patients that was excluded from prior studies, precipitous intubations, or those patients that have to be intubated quickly and cannot have adequate pre-oxygenation. We hypothesize that apneic oxygenation will be more efficacious in this subset than in the overall ED population. We will randomize patients requiring endotracheal intubation into intervention (apneic oxygenation) and control (no apneic oxygenation). We will measure the lowest arterial oxygen saturation from the start of the intubation procedure through 2 minutes after intubation is complete.
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the long term safety of PRALUENT in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) or non-familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) participants at high or very high cardiovascular risk who completed the neurocognitive function study R727-CL-1532 (NCT02957682). The secondary objectives of the study were: - To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) - To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on other lipid parameters - To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on gonadal steroid hormones
This is a single-arm phase II study of twenty-one subjects with mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon, rectum, or appendix with prior systemic therapy with a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. Treatment will consist of nivolumab 480mg every 4 weeks and ipilimumab 1mg/kg every 8 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or 2 years of therapy.
This is a Phase II, multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of fenebrutinib in participants with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) who have completed the treatment period in a fenebrutinib CSU parent study. Participants may enroll in this OLE study at any time after completing the treatment period of the parent study. Participants will receive open-label fenebrutinib at a dose of 200 milligram (mg) orally twice a day. Treatment may continue until the end of the study.
The primary aim of the study will be to determine the feasibility of utilizing a web-based mindfulness program in adult patients with chronic pain with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia or central sensitization.
This study aims to report the effects of immediate or delayed exercise training on patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma who are receiving nivolumab and ipilimumab.
