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 will compare two strategies that target distinct determinants of blood culture overuse in an exploratory, hybrid, pilot trial in 8 PICUs. It aims to determine if there is any association between specific strategies used to reduce blood culture overuse on unit-wide blood culture rates, patient safety, and concurrently explore aspects of the implementation process (acceptability, feasibility, appropriateness).
In this study, researchers will use Photovoice to learn about how bereaved parents felt and thought about hope when their children were on hospice. 'Photovoice' is a research method that uses participants' photographs as a springboard for discussion. Primary Objective - To explore reflections, emotions, and experiences evoked in bereaved parents when reviewing photographs from their child's time on hospice, with photos selected by parents based on a prompt related to their thoughts about hope during that time.
This purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of nonopioid versus opioid analgesic regimens following surgical fixation of Gartland Type III Supracondylar Humoral Fractures (SCHFs) to assist in the development of a standard outpatient pain management regimen in the treatment of these injuries.
15 patients with gout [10 patients no recent urate-lowering therapy (ULT) and 5 patients on stable urate-lowering therapy (ULT)] will be invited to participate in a standardized meal at the UCLA Human Nutrition Center and a 7-day community follow-up for the measurement of uric acid (and other metabolites) using our Uric Acid and Metabolite Monitor System (UR+AIMS) skin patch.
To assess the safety and tolerability, obtain the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)/optimal biologic dose (OBD) and/or Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) for LM-24C5 in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
This is a prospective randomized-controlled trial looking at the safety and acceptability of using Chinese herbal medicine in patients with primary dysmenorrhea. The research team hopes to enroll 100 patients, 50 of whom will be randomized to receive the herbal tincture and 50 who will receive a placebo tincture. Patients will be enrolled and using the assigned tincture for twelve weeks. The research team will assess safety as a primary outcome by the presence or absence of adverse events related to study protocol during the period of participation.
College student anxiety is rising alarmingly and directly affects academics, occupations, and well-being. Occupational therapy (OT) students encounter a rigorous workload and pressure to become entry-level practitioners. Higher education faculty strive for evidence-based teaching strategies and effective classroom management and are often challenged to promote a positive classroom culture. This quasi-experimental study explored the effect of listening to music during a lab practical examination on the performance of OT graduate students.
The primary objective of radiation therapy is to deliver a therapeutic dose of radiation precisely to the target while minimizing exposure to healthy surrounding tissues. Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) involves acquiring cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans just before or during treatment sessions. By comparing the CBCT images with the reference images from the treatment planning process, clinicians can make necessary adjustments to ensure precise targeting and account for any changes that may have occurred since the initial planning. Conventional CBCT technology is, however, limited by several factors including long acquisition times that result in motion artifacts in the image, smaller fields of view that limit the volume of anatomy that can be imaged, poor image quality that limits soft tissue visibility, and artifacts created by dense metal implants. This study will evaluate a novel CBCT imaging solution ("HyperSight") that has the potential to address the challenges of conventional CBCT.
The goal of this clinical trial is to engage African-American churches via an established community-academic partnership (FAITH! Program) to build capacity to promote cardiovascular health and digital health equity in African-American faith communities. There are 3 study aims: Aim 1: Co-design a culturally tailored digital health equity toolkit with community members Aim 2: Train a network of Digital Health Advocates (DHAs) in digital health equity and cardiovascular health promotion Aim 3: Test the impact of a DHA-enhanced mobile health intervention (the FAITH! App) on cardiovascular health and digital health readiness among participants In Aim 1, participants will attend a series of focus groups to share their input on a digital health equity curriculum that will be condensed into a toolkit. In Aim 2, DHAs will be trained using this toolkit as well as a community health advocacy curriculum to learn how to promote digital health readiness and cardiovascular health in their communities. Finally, Aim 3 will be a randomized controlled trial where participants will use the FAITH! App to improve their cardiovascular health. Some participants will have the added support of a DHA, and the control group participants will use the app with no additional support to test whether the DHA support is associated with a more significant improvement in cardiovascular health.
The investigators will implement a non-randomized observational clinical trial that will include a pop-up clinic for women who inject drugs (WWID) near venues for exchange sex and drug use in north Seattle. The pop-up clinic will be housed within a van and serve as a research extension of the SHE Clinic, a Harborview Medical Center run clinic for women who exchange sex and use drugs in north Seattle. Through the implementation of the pop-up clinic, the investigators will aim to assess: 1. The impact of the pop-up clinic on uptake and sustained use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) among WWID. 2. The impact of point of care (POC) sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing on STI treatment completion rates. 3. The acceptability and feasibility of providing HIV prevention care for WWID and exchange sex in a pop-up van clinic.
