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.
Newborns who are born premature or suffer brain injury at birth are at risk for motor problems that may cause weakness in reaching and grasping on one side of the body. In older children, therapists may use a hand mitt and restraint for the stronger arm, to encourage use of the weaker side, called constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT). Even with the high intensity therapy of CIMT, it typically takes between 40-120 hours total treatment time for most children to improve their motor skills. A non-invasive form of nerve stimulation, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), stimulates a nerve by the ear that enhances learning motor skills. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of taVNS to improve motor skills when paired with CIMT in infants with one-sided weakness at 6-18months of age.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in terms of humoral immune responses of Ad26.RSV.preF-based study vaccine lots representative of different aged vaccine in comparison to a non-aged Ad26.RSV.preF-based study vaccine lot.
This study will examine short breathing meditations paired with Fitbit technology in order to assess mindfulness and track physical activity. Measures including heart rate, physical activity, sleep patterns, as well as assessments of well-being and anxiety levels, will be examined.
This is a single-masked, two-arm, parallel-group, randomized-controlled, dispensing clinical trial to evaluate the visual performance.
The SEED study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) of 3 escalating dose combinations of atomoxetine with AD313 compared to baseline and to atomoxetine alone.
This clinical investigation is designed to compare audiological performance (i.e., measurements of sound quality and speech understanding) between Starkey's new receiver-in-canal device and a commercially available legacy receiver-in-canal device.
The objective of the study is to observe the change in hemodynamic variables (i.e. CO, SV, HR, SV) as assessed during rapid fluid bolus.
This study is a pilot test of The Art of Medicine Series, a smartphone-based educational tool to improve clinician-patient communication. Investigators will enroll clinicians (residents, fellows, attending physicians) and family caregivers (most often parents) from the Children's Wisconsin neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Participants will then receive a series of links to short, animated videos sent to their phone by text message. Each video teaches best-practice communication techniques such as how patients can prompt teach back and how clinicians can avoid biased phrasing in delivering news. Over the 4-week intervention (the length of resident's rotation), clinicians will receive 15 videos and patients will receive 8 videos. Communication skills of clinicians and patients will be assessed pre and post intervention using validated measures and participants' engagement with the videos will be tracked with software in the website.
Oral ATP disodium (adenosine 5'- triphosphate disodium) is a commercially available product available alone and as a constituent in a number of sports supplements that is purported to maintain ATP levels and improve performance during high-intensity exercise. Acute deficits in cognitive performance have also been reported in both young adults and children following high-intensity exercise; however, the effects of supplemental ATP on cognitive performance has not been studied. Goals: 1. To investigate the effect of ATP supplementation versus. placebo on mood, reaction time and cognitive performance before and after an acute bout of fatiguing exercise. 2. To investigate the effect of ATP supplementation versus. placebo on anaerobic performance.
High dose naltrexone with response gauged by pain tolerance as measured by the cold pressor test may help treat autism.
