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.
Distal sensory peripheral neuropathy (DSP) is a chronic, debilitating painful condition affecting quality of life in persons living with Type 2 diabetes. Treatments prescribed to manage DSP pain, such as nonnarcotic and narcotic analgesics, antidepressants and anticonvulsants, are largely ineffective. This is a preliminary study at assessing the feasibility, efficiency and preliminary efficacy of a novel non-pharmacologic pain management approach, moxibustion, to reduce DSP pain and improve quality of life.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of BT051 in healthy male or female volunteers aged 18 to <50 years. A total of 50 subjects will be randomized to receive a single oral dose of BT051 or matching placebo in a ratio of 4 active:1 placebo in 5 ascending dose cohorts (10 subjects per cohort) at active dose levels of 100mg, 300mg, 700mg, 1500mg or 3500mg. The study Safety Review Committee (SRC) will evaluate if any dose-limiting adverse events (AEs) occurred in a cohort through Day 3, as well as review cumulative safety data for all previous cohorts and any available pharmacokinetic (PK) data before proceeding to dosing in the next cohort.
The purpose of this research is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of yoga classes for persons living with dementia (PLWD) and their care partners. A secondary aim of this study is to examine the impact of yoga on caregiver burden.
This study is open to people aged 18 to 65 who have post-traumatic stress disorder. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1358894 improves symptoms in people with post-traumatic stress disorder. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants take BI 1358894 or placebo as tablets every day for 2 months. Placebo tablets look like BI 1358894 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for about 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 8 times and get about 4 phone calls from the trial staff. During the study, participants answer questions in interviews and complete questionnaires so the doctors can check whether their symptoms change. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
MindMics earbuds is a new technology designed enhance an individual's quality of life by continuously monitoring the heart rate, stress, and blood pressure allowing patients to make decisions regarding their health. MindMics has a working prototype of the ear buds which will perform all the conventional tasks of earbuds (listen to music, etc.), but, in addition, will measure heart rate, stress, blood pressure. The earbuds capture the sounds made by the various cardiac structures pulsing and moving blood. The sound is caused by the acceleration and deceleration of blood and the turbulence developed during rapid blood flow.
Low back pain is a leading cause of disability among US adults, and can drive opioid use and associated poor outcomes. The Veterans Health Administration (VA) considers low back pain a significant problem. Yoga is recommended as a front-line treatment for low back pain, however, Veteran participation in yoga is low. One potential barrier to adoption among Veterans may be their perceptions of yoga. In an effort to increase Veteran use of yoga, the investigators will develop and test an alternative yoga program that may better meet Veteran preferences and interests. The investigators call this yoga program, Rage Against the Pain (RAP) 'High Intensity Stretching'. The RAP program will promote yoga as less of a meditative, introspective activity done to quiet calming music and more of an expressive, active practice set to music commonly enjoyed among many Veterans (e.g., rock, metal). The goal of this pilot study is to develop and evaluate the RAP program, including Veteran perceptions of and experiences with the program and how it may impact yoga participation, among Veterans with chronic low back pain.
This study evaluated the feasibility of an 8-week physical therapy program for persons with chronic low back pain provided entirely using telehealth with real-time, interactive video sessions with a physical therapist.
Randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of video-based coaching on Obstetrics and Gynecology residents' efficiency, proficiency, and confidence in performing laparoscopic salpingectomy.
Our hypothesis is that botulinum toxin injections (with onabotulinum toxin, incobotulinum toxin, and abobotulinum toxin) given at 10-week or shorter intervals for the indication of treatment of muscle spasms associated with neurological disorders are associated with equal safety and effectiveness as those given at 12-week or longer intervals. We also hypothesize that for those patients who would prefer a shorter inter-injection interval, but for whom their insurance carrier has prevented this, have worse health-related quality of life compared to patients who receive injections at a 10-week or shorter interval. We aim to investigate this hypothesis by collecting demographic and injection data and patient survey responses.
Dysphagia is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality in stroke survivors. Electrical stimulation is often included as part of the treatment plan for dysphagia, and can be applied at a sensory or motor level intensity. However, evidence to support these different modes of stimulation is lacking. This study compared the effectiveness of sensory and motor level stimulation on post-stroke dysphagia.
