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 pilot trial examines the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based, social networking exercise intervention in improving physical activity behavior in adults who do not perform regular exercise.
This is a four-arm, randomized, crossover, placebo and active controlled study to evaluate of the effect of therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses of CTP-543 on the QT/QTc intervals in healthy volunteers
Lots of people, including athletes and people who like to exercise regularly, enjoy marijuana. Some people believe marijuana might improve their ability to exercise. There are no recent, up-to-date scientific studies to suggest that this belief is right or wrong. The goal of this study is to determine the influence of marijuana on exercise performance.
Physical activity (PA) has been suggested to lower one's risk of developing cancer, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. While there are benefits from engaging in PA, many people do not engage in enough daily PA, thus increasing the chance of developing non-communicable diseases (NCD). Some NCDs, such as type 2 diabetes, have been shown to occur at higher rates within under-resourced populations, such as low socioeconomic status (SES) communities. Among low-SES communities, external barriers, such as cost and the surrounding physical environment, have been shown to impact engagement in PA. A multi-level PA intervention could be beneficial to help lower NCD health outcomes within at-risk groups, as well as serve as a means to further understand the barriers impeding a healthy lifestyle. At the individual level, past behavior is suggested to be a significant predictor of future behavior. When faced with a NCD diagnosis, one might think about the past and how things could have turned out differently (i.e., counterfactual thinking). For instance, what if a different action had been taken (e.g., "If only I had taken the stairs more at work")? Counterfactuals can also serve as a way of identifying causal links (e.g., "If only there were more green spaces in my area..."). Counterfactuals (CF) on behaviors that can be acted on can facilitate future behavior change by increasing intentions, motivation, and self-efficacy. In this way, CFs might help with 1) breaking a habitual sedentary cycle and 2) identify causal pathways of barriers impacting PA engagement. While preliminary data in the investigators lab suggests that CF strategies are relevant for heightening contemplation to change behaviors and intentions to change behaviors its impact on motivation and self-efficacy remains unknown. Additionally, these preliminary studies were conducted using small, undergraduate student sample, thus generalizability to low-SES individuals living in the surrounding community is unknown. For the proposed study, participants will use CFs to target barriers in different domains and levels of influence impeding PA. This identification effort will be used to work towards increasing PA behavior (collected by wearable fitness trackers). CFs will also be used to work towards increasing psychological domains relevant to behavior change over the span of 14 weeks.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the long-term safety, and tolerability of PF-06823859 study drug in adult participants with Dermatomyositis (DM) from a qualifying study.
The objective of the current study is to determine the dose at which Fermented Papaya Preparation ( FPP) is able to improve inducible respiratory burst outcomes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and neutrophils of participants. Our investigators have reported that supplementation with standardized fermented papaya preparation (FPP) in mice improves dermal wound healing outcomes. Therefore, based on these observations, the investigators propose to study the dose at which FPP supplementation induces respiratory burst in blood-derived myeloid cells in healthy subjects.
An investigation comparing the reliability of dye-aided versus dye-less evaluation of urinary tract integrity during intra-operative cystoscopy among patients undergoing hysterectomy.
Ambispective, multi-surgeon, single site, consecutive case series to determine the safety, performance, and benefits of the Grappler(R) Interference Screw.
The purpose of this research is to compare if insertion of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) vs. use of face mask, will reduce the time needed to achieve adequate ventilation prior to insertion of the breathing tube.
By measuring specific electrical parameters at acupuncture points that have been shown to correlate with ANS activity, the objectives of this study were to: 1) determine if CV4 has any influence on the bioelectric properties of the acupuncture meridian system, and 2) determine if CV4 affects the ANS.
