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 investigates access, effectiveness, and acceptability of 1-day ACT workshops on problematic mental health symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine for the potential treatment of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA). Psoriatic Arthritis is a joint swelling disease that can also affect the skin, nails and eyes. The study medicine is called Tofacitinib. This study is seeking participants who: - Started taking tofacitinib alone or with other approved medicines (eg. methotrexate, leflunomide, sulfasalazine, apremilast) for PsA disease. We will only look at participants' who started tofacitinib after December 14, 2017. - Have a 6-month follow-up visit (with a 3-month window) This is an observational study. Participants receiving Tofacitinib will be included to assess how well tofacitinib works. We will look at participants' demographic information and therapy history. We will also monitor participants' disease progression before and 6 months after treatment. We will examine the experiences of people receiving the study medicine. This will help us determine if the study medicine is safe and effective.
Interested individuals will first complete a telephone screening followed by a series of structured clinical interviews to diagnose PTSD and comorbid psychiatric disorders, confirm initial inclusion criteria, rule out exclusion criteria and create an audio-recorded account of their index trauma. Participants passing screenings will then complete 2 weeks of at-home sleep and nightmare diaries and time-stamped audio-recorded reports of dream content upon awakening from any nightmare. They will also wear a wrist actigraph throughout this period, complete 2 nights of ambulatory PSG, and complete on-line questionnaires. Nightmare data will be examined for frequency and thematic similarity of nightmares to a participant's reported index trauma. Participants' nightmare and index trauma reports will be audio-recorded for use as scripts during SDI. The participant will then undergo two SDI sessions on a single day, one with a nightmare script and one with an index-trauma script, during which they will wear the NINscan. Sessions will be separated by 1 hour and counterbalanced across participants for script order.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the efficacy of vonoprazan (10 mg and 20 mg once daily [QD]) compared to placebo (QD) in relief of heartburn over 4 weeks in participants with NERD.
This study aims to collect data from individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and healthy controls in order to clarify how learning strategies are employed differently by individuals with compulsive psychopathology and healthy individuals. Behavioral and electroencephalogram (EEG) data will be collected during one experimental reinforcement learning tasks from participants diagnosed with OCD (n = 30) and healthy controls (n = 30). Computational modeling, an advanced data analytic approach that can directly link neural measures with behavior, will be used to quantify learning processes. These parameters then will be related to measures of neural events obtained using EEG, a neuroimaging method that has high temporal resolution, to test for evidence of neurocognitive alterations.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, severe, inflammatory skin disease associated with pain, drainage, odor, and disability characterized by recurring abscesses, nodules, and tunneling sinuses in intertriginous locations such as the groin, buttocks, and axillae. HS has more negative impact on patients' quality of life than all other common dermatologic diseases and is common, affecting ~1% of the general population, with higher risk for females (3:1) and Black patients. The onset is often in adolescence. As HS has been under-studied historically, there is an unmet medical need to develop more effective treatment for this disease. While many patients are managed with medications and lifestyle modifications alone, a subset of HS patients benefit from surgical intervention. Proper wound care following HS surgery is paramount, as facilitating proper healing and minimizing infection can prevent post-operative complications, morbidity and the need for future procedures. While many physicians continue to use wet-to-dry dressings as the standard of care for HS patients post-operatively, it is likely that the drawbacks of this dressing technique outweigh the benefits. This study hopes to answer the question of whether or not wet-to-dry dressings should truly be standard of care or whether an alternate form of wound dressings, such as petrolatum with non-stick bandaging, is at least equitable if not superior in effect, and associated with fewer drawbacks such as associated pain and time dedicated to dressing changes. This study will be a randomized, single-blind trial of two postoperative bandaging techniques: wet-to-dry dressings vs. petrolatum with non-stick bandaging. Primary outcomes will be tracked using the photographic wound assessment tool (PWAT), pressure ulcer scale of healing (PUSH) tool, and Wound Quality of Life (QOL) Survey. There is potential for this study to apply to surgical interventions outside of HS, as the study addresses the bandaging technique (wet-to-dry) that is standard of care after many surgical procedures.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate messages that motivate older smokers to make quit attempts using evidence based smoking treatments (EBSTs). 200 participants will be recruited nationally (within the United States) primarily via social media advertisements. Participation will include up to 2 interviews by telephone and receiving flyers via mail.
This study will utilize qualitative cross-sectional and quantitative longitudinal methods. In semi-structured interviews, orthopedic providers and patients with spine conditions will discuss their overall perspectives, specific needs, and preferred solutions to addressing mental health impairment in the context of orthopedic care and research. In these sessions, patient stakeholders will also user test two specific mental health interventions: a customized version of a commercial digital mental health intervention (Wysa) and a prototype of a print-based mental health resource guide. The patient stakeholders will be provided one month of Wysa access, and they will complete baseline and follow-up measures related to usability, clinical effectiveness, and intermediate behavioral mechanisms through which Wysa is hypothesized to act. Wysa usage data will be obtained from the app company. Delivery of Wysa and the printed resource guide will be iteratively refined based on user feedback.
This will be an open-label, randomized, 2-treatment, 2-period, crossover single-dose study in approximately 134 healthy adult participants. Participants will be randomized into 2 sequences of treatment as described in the following table of Intervention Groups and Duration.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tralokinumab administered as subcutaneous (SC) injection by an autoinjector in adults and adolescents (age 12 to 17 years) with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
