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 study is to evaluate the shame resilience theory in a pilot context to assess its feasibility in a potential full scale clinical trial. Shame resilience was developed through qualitative methods but currently has little quantitative backing. Continued research is needed to assess shame-resilience as a potential intervention for shame which little is known to combat prevalent negative health outcomes associated with shame.
Vibration applied to the skin has been anecdotally reported to potentially improve motor control in patients with movement disorders including Parkinson's disease, however few devices have been studied formally. In this study, the investigators will test the effect of skin surface vibration applied non-invasively to patients with movement disorders to determine if there are any beneficial effects on common tasks of motor control and/or abnormal motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), essential tremor (ET), and dystonia.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect that uninstalling work email applications from mobile devices during leisure time has on health care worker stress levels.
Recent studies have shown that completing bilateral simultaneous movements during upper extremity practice may result in facilitation of coactivation and interhemispheric activation of both the ipsilesional and contralesional brain areas, with one limb entraining the other and enabling the limbs to function as a unit. Other research has proposed that the use of virtual-reality (VR) activities during treatment sessions can improve upper extremity function following stroke as it is motivating, challenging, offers external feedback that may facilitate motor learning, and allows for the "high-intensity, repetitious practice necessary to drive recovery". Coupling bilateral simultaneous upper extremity movement and virtual-reality activities is the Bimanual Arm Trainer (BAT), a non-powered mechanical device by which the non-paretic upper extremity moves the paretic arm. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the Bimanual Arm Trainer (BAT) compared to traditional occupational therapy treatment sessions as these relate to upper extremity functional return following stroke, as measured by scores on the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) and Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment (UE-FMA) measures. The investigators plan to use retrospective data for a pre-implementation group, comparing this data to prospectively collected post-implementation data. ARAT scores are routinely collected and will be used for comparison between groups. UE-FMA measures are commonly used in this area of research, and will be taken to provide additional context for the post-implementation group.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of gamified competition (delivered through a smartphone) for improving the physical activity and sleep of medical interns.
The study is designed to evaluate and compare the clinical adhesion performance of the ZTlido (Lidocaine Topical System) 1.8% of Scilex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Reference) versus Salonpas (Lidocaine Patch 4%), Aspercreme (Lidocaine Patch 4%) and IcyHot (Lidocaine 4% + Menthol 1% Patch), on the Mid to upper back while being worn for 12 hours in healthy adult human subjects.
A 2-part, crossover design, open-label treatment trial with 4 periods, 4 sequences (Part A) to evaluate MR formulations of CVL-231 and a 2 periods, 2 sequences (Part B) to understand effect of food on CVL-231 exposures from an MR formulation.
Although self-management treatment improves quality of life among individuals with COPD, there is limited understanding of which elements of treatment are most effective. The proposed research will test the feasibility of using an engineering-inspired study design to identify effective COPD self-management treatment components. The long-term goal of this line of research is to optimize the effectiveness of COPD self-management treatment, and improve quality of life for individuals with COPD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the abuse potential of seltorexant compared to placebo and two active comparators (zolpidem and suvorexant) in non-dependent, recreational sedative users.
The purpose of the study is evaluate the safety and efficacy of L-glutamine as a treatment for patients with diverticulosis.
