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 purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to use Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) to assess Achilles tendinopathy and the effectiveness of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training in patients with Achilles tendinopathy as measured by Numeric Pain Rating Scale, functional self-report, and objective functional measures. SWE will be utilized to objectively quantify tendon properties and BFR training and eccentric exercise will be utilized to treat Achilles tendinopathy.
The study's aim is to prospectively compare three different tissue acquisition techniques during EUS guided solid lesions biopsies.
Evaluate the feasibility of using a mobile interface to control the insufflator device administering treatment for aborting (stopping) an acute episode of migraine. The patient, under clinical supervision, will use the mobile interface to "self administer" the treatment when experiencing an acute episode of migraine. The supervising clinician will monitor the patient and the device to make sure that no harm could come to the patient and will be ready to intervene if any adverse effects were suspected to or in the process of happening.
This study is designed to directly compare Standard Care and CT fractional flow reserve (CTFFR) for diagnosis of chest pain patients with definite coronary artery disease (CAD) on heart computed tomography (CT) scans.
This study aims to characterize the neurological basis of obesity and response to surgical and medical treatment by inducing adult pluripotent stem cells into neuronal cells from subjects that have demonstrated extreme response to bariatric surgery or pharmacological treatment for obesity.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether FG-4592 is safe and effective in the treatment of anemia in participants with lower risk MDS and low red blood cell transfusion burden.
Background: Some people who have increased blinking may later develop blepharospasm. Blepharospasm is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary closing of the eyes. Researchers want to learn more about how eyes close in response to different stimuli. They want to study this in healthy people, people with increased blinking, and people with blepharospasm. Objective: To learn how light exposure affects people with blepharospasm. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with blepharospasm or increased blinking, and healthy volunteers Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Neurological exam Participants will have up to 5 visits. The number of visits will depend on the number of tests they opt to have. They can opt to have up to 4 tests. Visits last 60-90 minutes. They cannot drink alcohol or caffeinated drinks for at least 12 hours before visits. Visits could include the following tests: Evaluation of eyelid movements. This will be video recorded. Electromyography: Small sticky electrodes are placed on the lower eyelid skin. These are attached to wires. Muscle activity is recorded during blink reflex procedures. Electrical stimulation: An electrode is placed close to the eyebrow. It will deliver small electrical shocks. The strength of the shocks will be enough to provoke a blink. Photic stimulation: A lamp is placed in front of the face. It will deliver single or paired flashes. The flashes will be at various intervals and intensities. Participants will wear a patch over one eye during this test. Combination of electrical and photic stimulation
There have been many adjunctive treatments for the additional clinical benefits to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Topical hydrogen peroxide (HP) delivered in a custom fabricated tray has been shown to improve pocket depth (PD) and inflammation. The purpose of this study is to assess the adjunctive treatment outcome of HP gel in custom tray application in individuals with chronic periodontitis receiving SRP. The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to evaluate and compare the clinical effects of scaling and root planing (SRP) combined with local delivery of 1.7% hydrogen peroxide (HP) gel in customized trays to that of SRP alone.
Subjects will participate in three weeks of the bionic pancreas in the insulin-only configuration. Each week, subjects will use a different rapid acting insulin analog -- Humalog, Novolog, or BC222 insulin lispro -- in a randomized cross-over order.
This is a prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to compare the incidence and intensity of ITM-induced pruritus and nausea/vomiting using pre-emptive IV ondansetron, followed by scheduled Around The Clock (ATC) ondansetron vs. our control group, where pruritus and PONV are treated with PRN only medications.
