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 intent of this clinical study is to answer the questions: 1. Is the proposed treatment safe 2. Is treatment effective in improving the disease pathology of patients with Parkinson's Disease and clinical outcomes.
The intent of this clinical study is to answer the questions: 1. Is the proposed treatment safe 2. Is treatment effective in improving the disease pathology of patients with Multiple Sclerosis and clinical outcomes?
This will be an open-label, non-randomized, multi-center, patient sponsored study of Adipose-Derived Stromal vascular fraction cells implantation via intravenous infusion. The intent of this clinical study is to answer the questions: 1) Is the proposed treatment safe and 2) Is treatment effective in improving the disease pathology of patients with diagnosed Type II Diabetes Mellitus.
This research trial studies biomarkers in samples from patients with rhabdoid tumor of the kidney and atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor. Studying biomarkers of tissue samples from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes the occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
The objective of our program is to evaluate the effect of home health nurse intervention and education on hospital admissions, ER utilization and asthma control of Passport asthma patients. The investigators hypothesize that case management and in home education by nurses will decrease hospitalizations and ER asthma visits and improves disease control in our population. Our clinic population consists of primarily inner-city, low income, medicaid recipients. This population suffers from severe asthma much more than the typical pediatric population. Asthma remains the most frequent cause of hospital admission for our patient population. Home health nurse asthma education and home visits have been reported to reduce asthma triggers in the home and improve asthma control. The unique partnership between the pediatrician and the home health nurse will give us a better understanding of the health needs for this population, will improve quality of care and deliver more cost effective care.
The purpose of this study is to determine if 48 weeks of therapy with Pegylated Interferon Lambda plus Ribavirin is effective and safe for a treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) compared to therapy with Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2a plus Ribavirin.
The investigators aim to pilot test the efficacy of a yoga intervention designed specifically for individuals with ocular hypertension. The investigators would like to find out if a combination of breathing, postures and meditation may help to reduce intraocular pressure in the short term after each yoga session, and also long-term across an 8-week program. Subjects will participate in the yoga intervention sessions led by Dr. Pamela Jeter once a week at the investigators center, and will be asked to practice at home at least twice a week using a audio CD.
A systematic review and meta analysis will be performed of risk assessment models for Venous thromboembolism ("VTE" including pulmonary embolism "PE" and deep venous thrombosis "DVT")in hospitalized medical patients. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether the incidence of VTE is lower in patients that are evaluated with a risk assessment model and treated with thromboprophylaxis for their assigned level of risk.
This study will evaluate various performance metrics of emergency department operations after the implementation of computerized physician order entry in an academic emergency department.
The treatment of adult deformity has improved with the development and use of modern segmental instrumentation, including posterior instrumentation. However, the incidence of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) caused by the accelerated degeneration of the joint capsules and smaller articular processes in the proximal junctional region has also been noted. One potential way of decreasing PJK is to decrease the structural rigidity of the construct at the top thereby providing a transition to the non-instrumented spine and allowing for less facet capsule and muscle disruption.
