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.
Open gynecologic surgery can be very painful. With the goal of minimizing the use of opioids (with undesired side effects and potential for abuse), the investigators often administer a type of peripheral nerve block in which the investigators put local anesthetic-or, numbing medicine-near the nerves that go to the surgical area which helps to numb the area and decrease pain following surgery. These blocks with a single-injection of local anesthetic are called erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks, and they are applied on each side of the body since each injection affects only that one side. However, the numbing medication typically lasts for only 16-20 hours. For other peripheral nerve blocks, this duration can be increased with the insertion of a catheter-a tiny tube smaller than a piece of spaghetti-followed by an infusion of additional local anesthetic. However, the effects of the various peripheral nerve blocks are determined by the anatomy and physiology of the specific peripheral nerve, with an infusion resulting in dramatic benefits for one nerve yet having no effect for another. The potential benefits and risks of adding a catheter and subsequent local anesthetic infusion to a single-injection ESP block remain unknown. The investigatorstherefore propose a randomized, triple-masked, placebo-controlled, split-body clinical trial to determine the potential benefits and risks of adding the infusion to single-injection ESP blocks.
This study aims to assess the efficacy and rate of stent migration in standard of care esophageal stents that are not fixed, compared to those that are fixed with either standard of care OTSC stentfix or standard of care stent placement with suturing in both benign and malignant esophageal strictures.
Blood volume measurements are a critical step in the emergency care of trauma patients. The typical approach to this is to rely on historical information, physical examination and metrics such as heart rate. There is currently no good real-time measure to track blood volume. This study investigates the use of phonocardiography (listening to the sounds made by the heart) to track changes in central blood volume.
Participants will receive an infusion of both study drugs (3BNC117-LS and 10-1074-LS) and will discontinue antiretroviral therapy (which is the treatment for HIV) two days later. Participants will receive a second dose of the first study drug (3BNC117-LS) at week 12 if the HIV infection is maintained and participants remain off of antiretroviral therapy. The study hypothesizes that intravenous infusions (which means medication is delivered directly into a participant's vein) of the combination of study drugs will be safe and well tolerated, will maintain control of the HIV infection without antiretroviral therapy, and may be associated with a decrease in HIV found in cells that were previously infected with HIV but not actively producing HIV in the body.
To demonstrate the efficacy of sabizabulin in the treatment of ER+HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC) as measured by progression free survival (PFS) by RECIST v1.1.
Measure serum and cerebrospinal fluid Sema4A levels in female subjects with newly diagnosed and untreated relapsing multiple sclerosis, clinically stable relapsing multiple sclerosis receiving disease modifying therapy, relapsing multiple sclerosis receiving disease modifying therapy with breakthrough disease, or non-multiple sclerosis controls (patients without inflammatory central nervous system disease).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a novel menopause hormone therapy on blood sugar (glucose) and blood and liver fats (lipids) in obese menopausal women Veterans.
This clinical trial studies the effect of StrataXRT in preventing and treating radiation dermatitis in breast cancer or head and neck cancer patients. Radiotherapy is often associated with multiple side effects. These side effects can cause patient injury and make it difficult to complete treatment. For example, radiation dermatitis or skin damage may result in severe skin peeling and skin irritation. Depending on the location of radiation, the skin damage can cause problems and be tough to heal. This trial aims to see whether StrataXRT may help to prevent dermatitis after radiation therapy.
Single-center pilot prospective observational study to determine feasibility of assessing meniscal tissue vascularity using dynamic contrast-enhanced fluorescence arthroscopy
The purpose of this project is to study the impact of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) treatments, such as lymphatic myofascial release and thoracic pump techniques severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) antibody levels in patients who receive the mRNA-1273 (Moderna) COVID-19 vaccine and to consider if these OMM strategies allow a stronger more robust immune response.
