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 assess the safety and immunogenicity of a single intramuscular (IM) injection of different doses of an respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) vaccine candidate, in adult participants aged 60 years and older. In addition, the study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination administered 12 months after the primary vaccination in a subset of the study population.
The intervention being tested, CONFIDENCE-AI is a refined version of the original CONFIDENCE intervention made to reduce psychological financial strain and improve management of out-of-pocket care costs while increasing caregiver resourcefulness skills. Participants will be asked to participate in a 4-week intervention that includes participation in four, synchronous group-based Zoom sessions as well as between-session activities to apply learning. Participants will also receive tailored text message notifications from the NeuViCare AI-powered app via text and will be able to submit questions to the app to receive financial well-being information related to caregiving.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Transdermal Compress device in participants with Transfemoral Amputations.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of air versus carbon dioxide gas insufflation for endoscopy in children. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: •to determine safety of CO2 Assess patient comfort (abdominal pain, flatulence and bloating) with CO2 use when compared to air.
Most individuals entering treatment for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) present with cognitive deficits across a range of cognitive domains, and these deficits frequently persist for six months or longer following remission. Cognitive deficits are associated with increased relapse rates, less treatment compliance, and poorer treatment outcomes in individuals seeking substance use treatment. Despite the high rates of cognitive impairments among adults with AUDs and their negative impact on treatment outcomes, current evidence-based treatments for AUDs do not specifically treat or address cognitive symptoms. Accessible (e.g., brief, manualized, delivered via telehealth) and effective treatments for adults with AUDs and cognitive deficits are urgently needed. The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a manualized, 8-week, Compensatory Cognitive Training (CCT) intervention delivered via telehealth for Veterans in early remission from alcohol use disorder (AUD). The investigators hypothesize that Motivationally Enhanced Compensatory Cognitive Training for Addictions (ME-CCT-A) will be feasible and acceptable in a pilot trial of ME-CCT-A delivered via telehealth.
The goal of the study is to determine, using a choice-based approach, what messages (pulled from various online sites) people find more and less persuasive and shareable on the topic of colorectal cancer screening. As a secondary goal, the study is interested how various information behaviors, such as people's self-reported seeking of health information and encountering of health information, demographic variables, individual difference variables, and message exposure associate with their intentions to adhere to recommended colorectal cancer screening guidelines from the National Cancer Institute. The study is interested at differences specifically among Black and White Americans of recommended screening age (45-74).
The goal of this two-phase project is to adapt The-Optimal-Lymph-Flow (TOLF) behavioral intervention to be culturally appropriate, and subsequently test the intervention in Black and Hispanic patients. The investigators have developed and tested behavioral intervention program TOLF that builds patients' self-management skills to promote lymph flow and results in complete pain reduction, reduced lymph fluid level, reversed mild lymphedema, and improved quality of life (QOL). Of concern, this promising intervention has not been adapted to reduce patient barriers (e.g., relevance, cost, time, travel, competing demands) and system barriers (e.g., intervention availability, staffing, therapist) to timely interventions faced by Black and Hispanic women. Specific aims are to: Aim 1: Engage Black and Hispanic women (N=24) in adapting TOLF to be highly culturally appropriate. The investigators will conduct focus groups to refine TOLF focusing on barriers faced by and preferences of Black and Hispanic women. Aim 2: Conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) (N=60) equally allocating women to either 1) TOLF or 2) lymphedema education (e-Lymph) to examine feasibility, acceptability, and examine primary outcomes (lymphatic pain, pain severity and interference, and lymph fluid level) and secondary outcomes (daily living function, psychological distress, QOL, self-efficacy for pain management) of the culturally appropriate behavioral interventions.
The purpose of this prospective research study is to evaluate the effects of preoperative pain threshold using a pressure algometer and its effects on postoperative patient satisfaction, return to work, and opioid consumption following Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA). Participants will have their pain threshold measured at the preoperative visit. Postoperatively, they will be followed for 3 months and complete a pain journal for 2 weeks, record their medications consumed, and complete surveys at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months. The study team will rely on the completion of the questionnaires, opioid consumption journal, and surveys to establish a correlation between pre-operative pain threshold and post-operative outcome.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate compare postoperative range of motion in patients who are given a sling for comfort only and allowed to start early active range of motion compared to patients who are placed in a sling for 4 weeks with passive range of motion only. Once enrolled, the patients will be randomized through computer randomization then placed in paper packets into either the immobilization group or the early range of motion group.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a new brief home visitation program delivered by non-nurse home visitors to 1) improve connections to community resources based on reported and assessed needs, 2) increase health self-efficacy, and 3) reduce maternal stress compared to a control group that receives standard care from an obstetric clinic. Secondary administrative data on infant birth outcomes, health care use during the first year of life (appointment adherence), and interaction with government services (such as public assistance or child welfare) will be compared between the groups. For the intervention group, we will secondarily also assess home visit compliance and satisfaction with the intervention. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires that include questions about the participant, their pregnancy, their feelings, their family, and their use of social/community services. Half of the women in this study will be randomly offered free home visitation services and the other half of women in this study will receive standard services from the clinic. The intervention group will be offered at least two free home visits with a non-nurse home visitor. During these visits, the home visitor will provide them with resources and tools to help the participant prepare for their baby. All participants will complete a second round of electronic surveys at approximately 2 months postpartum. Intervention participant outcomes will be compared to a control group that receive standard care from an obstetric clinic.
