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 main objective of this study is to evaluate the colocalization of internal medicine residents on one clinical inpatient hospital floor for all general medicine block rotations during the 2019-2020 academic year. Specifically, the aims of the study are to determine if co-localization improves familiarity with nursing staff, which in turn, improves team work, psychological safety, patient care and reduces burnout. The investigators' hypothesis is that co-localization will increase familiarity between residents and nurses and result in improved psychological safety, team work and patient outcomes.
This clinical trial develops and tests a model of family caregiver education focused on the role of underserved family caregivers as providers of complex care in the home. Cancer patients have symptoms from their cancer or treatment and are then supported by family caregivers at home with tasks requiring technical skill. Family caregivers are often asked to provide complex care whether it involves decisions about managing symptoms or providing technical care for ports/pumps, tubes, or devices. Family caregivers often are not given enough information on how to provide care for patients at home needing complex care. The results from this study may help researchers refine and improve the intervention for caregivers through future research for caregivers on a much larger scale.
To perform a clinical proof-of-concept study on a novel topical formula for pain relief.
Healthcare providers caring for acutely ill or critical patients are exposed to constant stressful situations that can lead to psychiatric manifestations. Depression and anxiety derived from stressful work environments can negatively impact the ability to perform at full capacity directly affecting the quality of care the patients receive. The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 infection created a sudden and deep crisis involving every sector worldwide not only affecting sick patients and the healthcare system but also the economy, politics, food, and drugs and social interactions. Hospital workers have experienced the crisis first-hand and have witnessed constant death, a decrease in personal protective equipment supplies, exposure to contracting the virus, risk of contagion to others, and overburdened hospital capacity. The aim of this study is to evaluate how the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected healthcare workers. Specifically, to evaluate levels of anxiety and identify factors contributing to anxiety on faculty, residents, and nurse anesthetists in our institution.
Observational, study that distributes rapid at-home, self-administered, SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing kits to households within pre-selected communities.
This study seeks to conduct a randomized, double-blind pilot study, to determine whether the Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation and study procedure are feasible and acceptable for use with World Trade Center responders with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is to assess the physiological, biochemical, and psychometric impacts of a brand-specific hemp-derived cannabidiol product in a sample of healthy adults.
This is a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled vaccination and challenge study to assess the protective efficacy of the Vaxart Norovirus vaccine (VXA-G1.1-NN). Healthy adults will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive one oral dose of vaccine or placebo. - Arm 1: VXA-G1.1-NN oral vaccine tablets [1x1011 IU±0.5 log] - Arm 2: Placebo tablets similar in appearance and number to active vaccine tablets Approximately 28 days post-vaccination, subjects will be admitted to an isolation ward and challenged with the NV GI.1 Norwalk challenge strain. After challenge, subjects will be monitored for signs and symptoms of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) from Day 29 to discharge. At 4 days post challenge (Day 33) asymptomatic subjects will be discharged from the isolation ward and will be followed in a series of outpatient visits and telephone calls. Symptomatic subjects may be kept in the isolation ward for up to an additional 3 days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a preventive strategy in increasing return to follow up and recall appointments.
Reduction in appetite and/or food intake among older individuals is referred to as anorexia of aging (AOA, also known as Geriatric Anorexia). AOA is linked with myriad comorbidities associated with aging, contributes significantly to adverse health consequences in old age, and has been used as a predictor of morbidity and mortality. The overall aim of this study is to compare feasibility of body weight, body fat, body composition and activity assessments in elderly subjects in long-term care (LTC), nursing home, or assisted living facilities. This will be accomplished through the use of questionnaires in addition to devices that evaluate movement, body composition, and body weight.
