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 study has four objectives about healthy younger and older adults during immersive virtual reality bicycling: Determine the effect of visual feedback and competition for younger healthy adults during virtual bicycling on user experience, motivation, enjoyment, perception of effort, and neuromuscular and cardiovascular intensity Determine the effect of visual feedback and competition for older healthy adults during virtual bicycling on user experience, motivation, enjoyment, perception of effort, and neuromuscular and cardiovascular intensity Compare younger and older during visual feedback and competition bicycling in terms of: user experience, motivation, enjoyment, perception of effort, neuromuscular and cardiovascular intensity Determine if attention differs in visual feedback bicycling compared to competition bicycling for younger and older healthy adults
Pain is among the most common chronic conditions in the adult population, often associated with decreased quality of life, functional impairments, increased medication use, increased medical expenditures, and significant economic costs. Due to the worsening opioid crisis, non-pharmacological approaches, such as rehabilitative care, are needed. However, access to in-person rehabilitative care may be limited due to transportation barriers, time constraints, and patient preference to remain at home. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated barriers to access in-person care, bringing the benefits of tele-rehabilitation into sharper focus. Remote models of care and novel treatment strategies, specifically the utilization of virtual reality (VR) augmented care are emerging as potentially viable treatment alternatives. This paper intends to explore the potential effectiveness of this method of care delivery in patients presenting for rehabilitative care with a primary complaint of pain.
Higher education students 18 years or older will participate in 8- virtual mindfulness meditation sessions over 3 to 4 weeks (minimum of 3 sessions per week). Each session will be 30 minutes long, 15 minutes for guided mindfulness meditation run by researchers, followed by a short discussion period to understand mindfulness meditation better. Before starting the mindfulness meditation session, baseline data will be collected.
This clinical trial investigates the differences between three different progressive addition lens designs. It is a non-invasive double-masked randomized clinical investigation. For this study, 80 participants will be recruited.
Opioid addiction in post-operative patients is recognized but not fully understood; therefore, in order to address this growing crisis, it is essential to explore alternative approaches to managing pain and apply them to the surgical population. One potential non-opioid method of pain relief is the use of the nCAP Nano Patch, placed topically on the site of pain. The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of the nCAP Signal Relief Patch in reducing the perioperative opioid requirement in patients undergoing primary unilateral total hip or knee replacement surgery.
Previously, the study team evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of the Johns Hopkins Perioperative Pain Program (PPP), which coordinates continuum of care for surgical patients on chronic opioid therapy throughout the perioperative period. Based on the findings of that project, the study team developed an educational intervention intended to improve patient engagement in perioperative pain management. In this project, the study team will formally implement a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention developed.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) of ustekinumab in juvenile psoriatic arthritis (jPsA) and pediatric psoriasis (PsO).
The purpose of this research study is to learn about different techniques that can be used to increase self-reflection, reduce stress, manage high blood pressure in Black women.
Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) kill more children and young adults than any other single cause in the United States. Proper use of the child safety seat (car seat, or CSS) reduces the risk of death by 71% in infants, and to toddlers by 54%. While the rate of CSS use has increased across all age groups over the last few decades,91% of observed CSSs demonstrate serious installation errors in the newborn population and 62% in all ages.In addition, non-white children have higher rates of misuse and non-use of CSS compared to white children, and the proportion of unrestrained deaths from MVCs in black and Hispanic children is almost twice that of white children (45% vs 26%). Certified child passenger safety technicians (CPST) provide interactive training to families on how to install and correct errors in their child's CSS. The use of CPSTs through "car seat checks" has been successful in increasing participants' (caregivers) skills, knowledge, and confidence, and reducing errors in CSS use.
This pragmatic, cluster-randomized trial in adult primary care clinics in a healthcare system with a diverse membership will examine the effectiveness of an innovative, multi-faceted intervention, the Addiction Telemedicine Consultant (ATC) service using clinical pharmacists to facilitate alcohol use problems and alcohol use disorder (AUD) pharmacotherapy and specialty addiction treatment entry.
