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.
Veterans with dysvascular lower limb amputation (LLA) have a high fall risk, which persists despite completion of conventional rehabilitation. The presence of fall risk could be a primary reason for the high disability and low quality of life outcomes in this Veteran population. A potential novel intervention for this population is to train performance of tasks that require both physical and cognitive attention (i.e., dual-tasking). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore relationships between dual-task performance and self-reported falls for Veterans with dysvascular LLA. Further, dual-tasking occurs during everyday life and this project will examine the association between dual-task performance and participation in activities of daily living (basic and instrumental). The results will form the foundation for development and future study of a novel dual-task training program for Veterans with dysvascular LLA.
The present study determined the effects light, medium, and dark roasted, brewed coffees on blood glucose responses in normal (n = 19) subjects.
The purpose of this research is to assess the rotational stability of the AcrySof IQ Vivity Extended Vision Toric IOL and Refractive Visual outcome.
Aphasia is an impairment in the expression or comprehension of language that results from stroke, traumatic brain injury or progressive neurological disease. Approximately two million people in the United States suffer from aphasia, which has profound impacts on quality of life, the ability to return to work and participation in life activities. Research has shown that speech-language therapy, the treatment for aphasia, can significantly improve people's ability to communicate. However, a major limitation in the field of aphasia rehabilitation is the lack of predictability in patients' response to therapy and the inability to tailor treatment to individuals. Currently, aphasia treatments are selected largely based on patient's language abilities and language deficits with little consideration of learning ability, which this study refers to as learning phenotype. Learning phenotype has been used to inform rehabilitation approaches in other domains but is not currently considered in aphasia. The overarching hypothesis of this work is that poor alignment of learning ability and language therapy limits progress for patients and presents a barrier to individualizing treatment. The objectives of the proposed study are to (1) determine the learning phenotype of individuals with aphasia, and (2) examine how lesion characteristics (size and location of damage to the brain), language ability and cognitive ability relate to learning ability. To accomplish objectives, investigators propose to measure implicit (observational) and explicit (rule-based) learning ability in people with aphasia via computer-based tasks. Regression models will be used to examine brain and behavioral factors that relate to learning ability.
This study identifies patient-important outcome measures and develops a survey that assesses the impact of nutritional interventions among cancer patients. Currently, data on the impact of medically tailored meals on outcomes that are meaningful to patients, providers, and payers are limited. For this reason, access to medically tailored meals as a covered benefit for cancer patients is limited. Thus, there is a need to explore the efficacy of nutritional interventions among this population. This study identifies outcome measures for nutritional interventions that are meaningful to patients and providers.
The purpose of this study is to collect biologically-based data for defining predictors and correlates of the effects of ALTO-300.
This is a phase 1, open-label study in healthy adults. This study is aimed at evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ASC43F, a fixed-dose combination (FDC) and single dose tablet containing ASC41, a THR β agonist and ASC42, an FXR agonist in healthy subjects.
This is a randomized pilot trial to evaluate the impact of a customizable stroke education app (vs standard of care discharge education) on patient satisfaction and education retention. The impact of the intervention will be assessed 7, 30, and 90 days post-discharge.
Gates MRI-RSM01-101 was a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, occurrence of Anti-drug antibody (ADA), and assessment of neutralizing antibody against RSV after administration of single intravenous or intramuscular doses of RSM01 to healthy adults.
The objective of this research study is to assess how the implementation of various commercially available devices affect sleep quality, sleep structure, nocturnal physiology, subjective wellness, recovery from stressors, and resultant effects on performance and well-being.
