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 correlate subjective skin pigment measurements as reported by patient-responses to the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale versus objective classification of skin pigment utilizing Individual Typology Angle (ITA) measurements.
This Phase 2a trial will evaluate the effects of EP262 in subjects with atopic dermatitis
This study aims to examine the scientific mechanisms of whole-body hyperthermia (WBH), a novel, rapidly acting, single session antidepressant and anxiolytic therapy. It also aims to determine its feasibility and acceptability in women with postpartum depression (PPD). The study will enroll four cohorts of participants: healthy postpartum controls; postpartum women with PPD; healthy adult controls; and adults with major depressive disorder or anxiety disorders in a longitudinal protocol.
Home palliative care needs are often under-recognized in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). This pilot study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of referrals to home palliative care services in improving patient outcomes compared with usual care among patients with ESRD admitted to a Penn hospital. Evaluating the effectiveness of home palliative care services is critical to determine whether increasing access to these services would improve patient-centered outcomes for these high-need patients
The purpose of this trial is to study the brain response using functional MRI (fMRI) before and after varying doses of insulin given through the nose. The magnetic resonance imaging uses a very strong magnet to produce images of participant's brain. It becomes a functional MRI when the study team looks at the activity within the brain (blood flow / change in metabolism).
Many clinicians prescribe antibiotics for patients with acute respiratory infections even when antibiotics will not benefit the patient because the infection is due to a virus. To discourage this type of unnecessary antibiotic use, the investigators will assess whether it is helpful to give clinicians feedback on how often they prescribe antibiotics for respiratory infections in comparison to their peers. The investigators will perform this study across Urgent Care and QuickCare clinics within a single healthcare system.
This study will examine both Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine effectiveness and Primary high-risk HPV PHS screening triage strategies in women living with HIV (WLHIV) by partnering with the Pediatric HIV/AIDs Cohort Study (PHACS) led, in part, by our investigative team. Among WWH, the study will examine the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine The study will screen approximately 810 WWH using a self-sampling kit and those who are PHS[+] will attend a clinical visit to have colposcopy/biopsy and 4 triage tests. WWH with <CIN 2+ are asked to return annually for colposcopy and HPV genotyping for up to 3 yrs. WWH PHS[-] will be asked to return in Year 2 for rescreening. Those PHS[+] will be followed as above and PHS[-] will be asked to obtain self-collected vaginal samples for HPV genotyping annually for 3 years.
This study aims to test whether aerobic exercise performed after fear extinction learning improves cognitive, physiological, and neural indices of extinction recall in a sample of trauma-exposed men and women with and without posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Participants will complete a clinical intake visit (Day 0), followed by a three-day fear conditioning (day 1), fear extinction + activity (day 2), and fear extinction recall (day 3) protocol.
This study will enroll children ages 2-6 who are undergoing an elective outpatient surgical procedure under general anesthesia. They will be randomized to one of the following groups and assessed for preoperative anxiety, mask acceptance, and behavioral changes in the following week. 1. darkened room and star projector with parental presence; 2. preoperative midazolam 0.5 mg/kg by mouth and parental presence; or 3. parental presence alone.
The purpose of this study to test whether a comprehensive program may help the lymph fluid to drain out of the arm and prevent lymphedema in participants with breast cancer.
