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 goal of this intervention study is to learn about how weight loss impacts molecular signaling of intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) in individuals with obesity. The main question it aims to answer is how inflammatory molecules secreted by IMAT promote muscle insulin resistance and inflammation, and how these same molecules are diminished after weight loss. Following screening visits involving body composition measures, blood testing, strength testing, and a thigh muscle biopsy, participants will go through a 12-week dietary intervention for weight loss. After 12 weeks, this will be followed by the same testing and biopsies that were completed before the intervention. Researchers will then compare outcomes of individuals who lost weight to individuals who did not lose weight.
This will be a study looking at trying to change older adults' behavior in regard to good sleep hygiene practices. Investigators will assess the efficacy through subjective outcome measures and objective physiological markers of good sleep through data collected with wearable technology devices.
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out which approach works better in getting more of the friends and connections of Latino adults get vaccinated against COVID-19. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can teaching people to use motivational interviewing help more friends and connections of Latino adults get the COVID-19 vaccine compared to just giving information about the vaccine? 2. What are the things that make it easier or harder for Latinos and networks to get the COVID-19 vaccine? 3. How does this intervention work in practice so that it can be made available to more people in the future The researchers will compare the vaccine rates of the friends and connections of Latinos who have been trained in motivational interviewing with those who have only been given information about the COVID-19 vaccine. This will help figure out which method works best to encourage more people to get vaccinated.
This study focuses on the role of neutrophils in shaping the adaptive immune response to the anti-pneumococcal vaccine Prevnar-13 in young and elderly adults.
This research study will evaluate the effectiveness of utilizing Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) on veterans with with a history of substance use disorder and chronic pain for 8 weeks. Primary Aim: The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using BFA to treat chronic pain in veterans with a history of substance use disorder. Secondary Aim: This study will also evaluate the impact that BFA treatment for pain may have on subjects' stress, mood and sleep patterns over 8 weeks. In addition, each subject will be complete behavioral research tools to measure: depression, anxiety, and substance use at 3 different points in this study. Hypothesis: The use of BFA on veterans with chronic pain will decrease their pain and substance use and improve their quality of life.
The purpose of VAN00010 study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the investigational pentavalent meningococcal ABCYW vaccine in adults and adolescents. The study duration will be up to 12 months for all participants.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the neuroprotective efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen for the treatment in patients with optic neuropathy.
Chronic motion sensitivity refers to a sensation of unwellness caused by physical or discerned motion and has a prevalence of 28% in the general population and it is more common in women (27.3%) compared to men. The investigators theorize that individuals with chronic motion sensitivity will have an impaired inner ear reflex and will be less physically active. Hence, the purpose of this study is to; 1. Determine whether the function of an inner ear reflex is different between young adults with/without chronic motion sensitivity 2. Assess relationships between reflex function and balance in young adults with/without CMS 3. Assess relationships between physical activity and balance in young adults with/without CMS.
Family engagement in care for ICU patients is essential to ensure patient-centered clinical outcomes such as reducing ICU length of stay (LOS) by about a day, and hospital LOS from 3.78 days to 2.29 days. It also lowers patient's stress and anxiety, improves orientation, and detection, lowers the prevalence and duration of delirium; enhances patients' and families' satisfaction and experience with care and helps with patients' recovery. This practice has not been universally implemented due to issues with lack of transportation for family members to the hospital, time conflict with work, and clinicians' fear of engaging family. Family-centered care in the ICU remains an inconsistent practice and an understudied area of nursing science. Family-centered care in the ICU remains an inconsistent practice and an understudied area of nursing science. The purpose of this proposed study is to determine the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to implement and test the impact of a Nurse-Led-Technology-EnhanCed Family Engagement Program (Nurse-TECH-Family) on the primary outcome of ICU LOS, and secondary outcome of reducing stress and improving quality of life and well-being among critically ill patients' families. We propose a pilot two-group RCT to examine the feasibility and preliminary effects of NURSE-TECH-Family program on 30 family members in the ICU. This study will be conducted at the Cooper University Health Care Medical Intensive Care Unit. Prior to conducting the RCT, we will involve a focus group of eight healthcare providers to understand healthcare providers' perceptions of the intervention and the project. The specific aims of this RCT are to (1) Assess the feasibility and acceptability of NURSE-TECH-Family program and obtain data on family stress, mental and physical health symptoms, and quality of life of family members. (2) Provide preliminary data for estimation of the effects of NURSE-TECH-Family program on family stress, mental and physical health symptoms, and quality of life post-program compared to a control group who will receive the current standard care. (3) Explore the effects of NURSE-TECH-Family on LOS and satisfaction based on Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores at post-program compared to a control group who will receive the current standard care.
