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 study team previously demonstrated that patients are more likely to receive flu vaccine after learning that they are at high risk for flu complications. Building on this past work, the present study will explore whether providing reasons that patients are considered high risk for flu complications (a) further increases the likelihood they will receive flu vaccine and (b) decreases the likelihood that they receive diagnoses of flu and/or flu-like symptoms in the ensuing flu season. It will also examine whether informing patients that their high-risk status was determined by analyzing their medical records or by an artificial intelligence (AI) / machine-learning (ML) algorithm analyzing their medical records will affect the likelihood of receiving the flu vaccine or diagnoses of flu and/or flu-like symptoms.
The overall goal of this protocol is to evaluate the binding of caffeine to adenosine A2A receptors in the brain of participants at risk for developing PD.
There are limited approaches to specifically address auditory sensory over- and under-responsivity (SOR) in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Exposure therapy (or systematic desensitization) may be a treatment option; researchers are investigating this approach. Many children receive sensory integration therapy, but this approach does not specifically target auditory SOR. Some families are advised to have their children avoid noxious stimuli or use compensatory techniques such as wearing headphones or ear plugs. While preliminary research suggests that use of noise attenuating headphones may reduce sympathetic activation for children with ASD and auditory SOR, this approach does not seek to change or alter the underlying cause of sympathetic activation (Pfeiffer et al., 2019). Sound-based interventions are promising options to treat hyperacusis and subsequent auditory SOR in children with ASD. The objective of this study is to investigate changes in adaptive life skills and behavioral responses in children with ASD using Advanced Brain Technology's The Listening Program ® Spectrum music utilizing Waves ™ (bone conduction) headphones. Our study will investigate the effects of a sound-based intervention developed in 2012 to specifically address the needs of children with ASD and children with hyperacusis and/or auditory SOR - The Listening Program® Spectrum music utilizing Waves™ (bone conduction) headphones by Advanced Brain Technologies. This program emphasizes low frequency music over an extended period of time; the duration recommended by Advanced Brain Technologies is 40 weeks.
The proposed Phase 1 project aims to develop and test Memento.HTN, an individually-tailored, culturallysensitive digital health intervention comprised of a provider platform and linked patient SMS system to promote medication adherence among African Americans with hypertension (HTN), a group that suffers from disproportionate HTN morbidity and mortality. Memento.HTN overcomes access barriers on the part of patients and adherence support implementation barriers on the part of healthcare teams and systems. Memento.HTN is innovative in three key ways: 1) it is the first-ever linked digital provider platform and patient SMS text system for HTN medication adherence; 2) it is culturally-tailored for African Americans with HTN; and 3) it has unique monitoring functionality allowing providers to monitor individual patient adherence, support 'new start' patients, and track group adherence rates by drug class, pill format, and patient demographics.
The purpose of this study is to identify early cardiovascular disease risk factors in those with "normal-weight obesity" (i.e., normal body, but high body fat percentage) that better track with their long-term cardiovascular disease risk.
The SnapMe Study is a single-group, prospective study that requires healthy adults to maintain food diaries in order to develop benchmark data for the prediction of food characteristics.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of TrueLoo™, an Internet-connected smart toilet seat, in accurately monitoring and logging bowel movements and urinations of residents in senior living facilities across Northern California.
This study aims to determine the effect short-term dosing (7 days) of a placebo beverage, cranberry juice, cranberry juice + lemon balm extract, cranberry juice + tart cherry powder, or cranberry juice + L-theanine or L-theanine beverage on cognitive function and mood in healthy adults (18-45 years). The study will include measures of attention, alertness, performance, and mood/stress.
The purpose of study JZP110-401 is to evaluate solriamfetol pharmacokinetics (PK) in the breast milk and plasma of healthy postpartum women following the administration of the drug. The study also aims to estimate the potential daily solriamfetol dose received by the infant from the breast milk of the nursing mother. The safety and tolerability of single oral doses of solriamfetol will also be assessed.
Commonly, families and providers have turned to internet-based resources to provide insight as to the perioperative experience. Though there is a large amount of information that is available on the internet, medical information on the internet is of highly variable quality and the information may be conflicting or inaccurate. It is hard for even the savvy well-educated patient and family to navigate and sift through all the information available. Therefore, generic web-based information does not necessarily decrease patient and caregiver anxiety. As an alternative, the investigators propose an interactive teaching tool utilizing virtual reality that may provide a cost-efficient, content-rich supplement to the traditional phone or internet-based patient education. Virtual reality (VR) will be provided to families of patients undergoing ambulatory pediatric surgery. VR will provide personalized education to patients and their families about the entire continuum of the child's surgical experience. This will range from the hospital registration, the peri-operative experience, including the separation of the child from the parent in the pre-operative area and the anesthetic induction process, and the post-operative hospital ward. The virtual reality (VR) tool will also review the in-hospital post-operative recovery process. The patient will be shown this either via an oculus headset or using their own smartphone device. In addition to improving a parent's comprehension of what their child will experience, the investigators expect that the virtual reality tool may also improve patient and caregiver satisfaction with the overall perioperative experience.
