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 study to better understand how the ellacor® Micro-Coring™ procedure works using an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, model. The people participating in the study will have already decided that they want to have an abdominoplasty procedure. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. how does the ellacor® procedure change skin tissue? 2. is the ellacor® device safe to use at specific treatment depths? The ellacor® procedure will be performed on people who are going to have abdominoplasty surgery. The ellacor® treatment areas will be limited to the areas marked for removal of skin during the abdominoplasty. The treated tissue will be sent to a lab for microscopic study after the abdominoplasty procedure is complete. A minimum of 3 people will be treated in each of 2 groups for a total of 6 total participants. 3 participants in the first group will have the ellacor® procedure done 30 days before their abdominoplasty surgery. The ellacor® procedure will be done at different depths in designated locations: 4mm, 5mm and 7mm. The participants will be asked about any changes to their health or medications while on the study. 3 participants in the second group will have the ellacor® procedure done at 3 different timepoints, 30 days apart, all at the same depth of 4mm. They will also be asked about any changes to their health or medications while on the study. Researchers will study the abdominoplasty tissue under a microscope after it has been removed from the participants. They will compare the areas treated by the ellacor® device to an area left untreated. This will reveal any changes in the skin tissue between treated and untreated areas, if they occur.
A 50-patient study in which 400 microamps of direct current was applied 3 days per week. All tolerability, safety and efficacy endpoints were met.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of food on the bioavailability of venglustat and to assess the relative bioavailability of venglustat tablet swallowed whole with water versus a tablet chewed and then swallowed without water. Also, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose tablet of venglustat under fed (swallowed whole) and fasted (swallowed whole or chewed) conditions in healthy adult participants. The maximum duration for participants from screening is up to 63 days.
The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalent effect of venglustat in tablet and hard capsule form when give with water under fasting conditions. Also, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose tablet and hard capsule of venglustat (swallowed whole) under fasting conditions in healthy adult participants. The maximum duration for participants from screening is up to 47 days.
The verification of an investigational pulse oximetry board to verify pulse rate and saturation accuracy over a specified saturation range in diverse populations.

It is well established that post-exercise rehydration with a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution is better when compared to plain water. However, most of the commercially available drinks today are high in carbohydrates and sodium with low potassium without other active ingredients. The aim of the present study is to examine the impact of a higher electrolyte sports drink compared with traditional sports drinks and water on the time course and extent of rehydration after exercise-induced dehydration
Acne medications are a common source of facial dryness resulting in skin barrier damage and poor patient compliance. Retinoids and benzoyl peroxide are some of the most frequently prescribed and effective acne medications, however, dryness is an unwanted side effect. A new acne medication, 1% clascoterone, has been placed in a novel vehicle for excellent drug delivery in combination with excellent barrier properties. The barrier properties of 1% clascoterone have never been demonstrated. This study is aimed at better understanding the positive barrier effects of 1% clascoterone.
The primary goal of this research was to assess the practicality and initial effectiveness of a motor imagery (MI) intervention combined with elements of action observation (AO), alongside active or sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the prefrontal cortex (PFC), on locomotor learning in healthy adults. Feasibility was determined by examining recruitment rates, participant engagement, and safety measures. The efficacy of the intervention was gauged by analyzing the time taken to complete tasks and changes in cerebral blood flow immediately after the intervention and one week later. The study was guided by three main hypotheses: (1) the intervention techniques would be well-received and safe for the participants; (2) compared to a control group, MI training would lead to better learning outcomes and retention of learning; (3) in comparison to the control and sham tDCS groups, active tDCS would result in superior learning outcomes and retention of learning.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains the gold-standard operation for peri-ampullary neoplasms. Traditionally, gastric decompression via nasogastric intubation has been employed postoperatively to prevent nausea, vomiting, aspiration pneumonia, anastomotic leakage and delayed gastric emptying. Recently, the implementation of ERAS protocol recommended against routine use of nasogastric tube following PD. however, limited data exists surrounding the identification of those patients needing NGT decompression in the immediate postoperative period. Therefore, we initiated a large prospective randomized controlled trial to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients who retained the NGT post-PD versus those who had it removed at the end of the procedure. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of nasogastric decompression in PD recovery, with the primary endo point being the need for and impact of NGT in the postoperative recovery. The secondary endpoint will examined the re-insertion rate of NGT and identify factors that necessitate its use in the immediate postoperative period.
