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 examine the effects of 8 weeks (3 days/week) of resistance exercise training in children 8 to 10 years of age on muscle strength, activation, and lipids of the vastus lateralis.
The goal of this cluster randomized trial is to compare two modes of management -- pharmacist care vs. pooled adult and family medicine physician care -- for electronically submitted requests (e-visits) for Paxlovid by adults with COVID-19. It will compare quality of care based on counseling for common potential drug-drug interactions and time to prescription, as well as the time and financial costs of care in the two groups.
AFGen1 is indicated for use on symptomatic or asymptomatic adults who are at risk of developing or who have atrial fibrillation, where a software assisted analysis of ambulatory ECG is needed to identify episodes of Afib. The purpose of this study is to establish the clinical performance of AFGen1 on human participants.
In this line of research, the researchers are examining whether performance on a cued attentional suppression (ignoring) task is related to performance on a learned attentional suppression task. In addition, these measures are related to the capacity of working memory and every day inattentive traits.
The main objectives of this study were to test if a singular dose of Cannabidiol (1) enhances the learning and memory of healthy human subjects, (2) test if Cannabidiol has negative effects on Retroactive and Proactive Interference during learning, (3) and test if demographic factors will influence CBD's modulation of human learning and memory.
The main objective of this research is to measure the Doppler signal by the ultrasonic patch. Blood flow measurement is critical for vasospasm, stroke, and embolism monitoring on patients in the ICU or understanding the neurovascular coupling on different subjects. Currently, A conventional transcranial Doppler (TCD) probe is widely used for these applications. A headset design must be applied and fixed on the participants to obtain stable blood flow spectra. However, the TCD headset is operator dependent. The operator needs to be a trained expert and hold the ultrasound probe to get accurate blood flow velocity information. The stretchable and wearable non-invasive ultrasonic patch can not only free the operator's hands but can also provide long-term continuous monitoring, which is not possible by using the current operator-dependent ultrasound machine. The device can be conformal to the skin and attached to the skin surface.
The purpose of this study is to learn about how long novel hormonal therapies are taken by men to treat mCSPC. Novel hormonal therapies in this study include study medicines abiraterone, apalutamide, and enzalutamide. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. The prostate is a gland in the male body that helps make semen. Metastatic cancer is a cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Castration-sensitive prostate cancer means the cancer is being controlled by keeping the testosterone levels as low as would be expected if the testicles were removed by surgery. This is a real-world study, not a clinical trial. This means that researchers will look at what happens when men receive the treatments prescribed by their own doctor as part of their usual healthcare treatment. In this study, researchers will use insurance claim information from Medicare claims data. The study will include patients' information from the database for men who: - Were identified to have mCSPC. - Started treatment with novel hormonal therapy (index date) for mCSPC. - Were 65 years of age or older one year before index date. Men in this study will be taking novel hormonal therapy for treatment of their mCSPC. We will describe how long men take novel hormonal therapy. This study will use patient information from insurance claims. It will take information one year before start of novel hormonal treatment until the end of insurance period or until information is available.
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a plant often used to self-treat conditions such as pain, coughing, diarrhea, anxiety and depression, opioid use disorder, and opioid withdrawal. Due to limited data availability, the goal of this clinical trial is to learn about safety, pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the drug) and pharmacodynamics (what the drug does to the body) of Kratom in adult recreational polydrug users with opioid experience.
The glycocalyx serves as the interface between flowing blood and endothelial cells, the single cell layer that lines blood vessels, and is crucial for normal blood vessel function. Specifically, the glycocalyx protects endothelial cells from oxidative stress and inflammation and enables blood vessel dilation, which is largely dependent on the bioavailability of the vasodilatory molecule nitric oxide. Importantly, glycocalyx thickness decreases with age and is predictive of major adverse cardiovascular events in older adults free of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, interventions aimed at restoring glycocalyx thickness in older adults are desperately needed. Endocalyx Pro is a commercially available glycocalyx precursor supplement, manufactured by Microvascular Health Solutions, designed to 1) repair a damaged glycocalyx, 2) protect against damage to the glycocalyx, and 3) synthesize new glycocalyx components, and has been used to increase glycocalyx thickness in humans. However, no study has tested if glycocalyx thickness restores glycocalyx thickness in older adults and improves blood vessel function. Thus, the purpose of this investigation is to determine if 12-weeks of Endocalyx Pro supplementation alters glycocalyx thickness and blood vessel function in older adults. The investigators will use a camera placed under the tongue to determine glycocalyx thickness. The investigators will measure blood vessel function by measuring brachial artery dilation with ultrasound and arterial stiffness using pressure probes placed on the carotid and femoral artery.
This study will investigate the potential drug interactions between vemircopan and metformin, rosuvastatin, levonorgestrel/ ethinyl estradiol (LNG/EE)-containing oral contraceptive(s) (OCs), and carbamazepine in healthy participants.
