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.
Regenerative medicine, specifically orthobiologics is a hot topic in the community and in Sports Medicine. Riding the hype curve of a new treatment can be great when offering new procedures to patients. However, as the excitement regarding potential benefits of orthobiologics grows, it is valuable to grow the body of literature on their safety and efficacy in various musculoskeletal conditions. Furthering the body of data regarding which musculoskeletal conditions may benefit most from these treatments and which may not can help guide physicians on when to incorporate orthobiologics into clinical practice. More robust data can help physicians guide patients and patient expectations when discussing treatment options. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) in musculoskeletal medicine is most commonly used to treat tendinopathies and degenerative joint disease. The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine released a position statement in November of 2021 summarizing meta-analysis and systemic review data evaluating efficacy and major adverse events of PRP for tendinopathy and osteoarthritis1. At this time, the most robust data exists for lateral epicondylopathy as multiple randomized controlled trials demonstrate positive response to PRP. Gluteus medius tendinopathy and plantar fasciaopathy similarly have positive data. In Achilles tendinopathy, well designed RCTs have shown no difference between PRP and saline injections. These data should help guide physicians in responsible use and patient counseling. Data from Hurley et al. suggest PRP may augment rotator cuff repair with improved rates of healing and reduced overall pain. However, there are limited high quality studies on the efficacy of PRP alone in partial rotator cuff tear. Partial rotator cuff tear is a common musculoskeletal complaint that can be treated with conservative measures such as physical therapy and corticosteroid injection. It can also be treated with surgical intervention if those modalities provide incomplete or inadequate pain relief and functional restoration. This study aims to evaluate if PRP is an efficacious treatment modality for partial rotator cuff tear.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the risk of an infant overheating and/or experiencing lowered respiration via measurement of vital signs in a controlled clinical environment while wearing a weighted wearable blanket in male/female infant healthy volunteers, 0-12 months of age. The main questions it aims to answer are: Primary Objective: To pilot an investigation on the impact of weighted wearable blankets on vital signs and infant movement in healthy infants during nap polysomnogram. Secondar Objective: To investigate the efficacy of weighted wearable blankets on sleep patterns in healthy infants during overnight sleep.
This is an open-label Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of a hematopoietic cell-based gene therapy for patients with Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKD).
This study will compare the time required for a cystoscopy procedure in adult participants using the Redpine® Rflex endo(trademark) High-Definition Cystoscope or the site's standard of care reusable flexible cystoscope in participants requiring urethral stent removal.
To determine if endobronchial (topical) tranexamic acid used prophylactically prior to performing transbronchial biopsies in lung transplant recipients reduces bleeding risk.
This research study is evaluating an investigational cell product called autologous induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived dopamine neurons. This research study is a single-center Phase 1 clinical trial, which will test the safety of injecting the investigational cell product into the brain of subjects with Parkinson's disease.
This study aims to apply a non-invasive brain stimulation technology called repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in patients with focal hand dystonia (FHD). The goal of the study is to identify which cortical target (premotor cortex (PMC) or primary somatosensory cortex (PSC)) will show benefit after active rTMS compared to sham rTMS. A secondary goal of the study is to understand if 10 Hz rTMS can show behavioral benefit compared to sham rTMS. The study will evaluate rTMS response using measures if writing on a sensor tablet, examiner and patient dystonia rating scales and brain imaging scan (functional MRI) to understand brain changes after rTMS. Safety measures include adherence to TMS guidelines and thorough medical screening to prevent seizures.
SURVIVORS Study participants are being asked to take part in this research study called HODNIRS because the participant is a survivor of Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) treated with chest radiation and bleomycin at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The study is being done to help investigators understand the link between long term effects of chest radiation and bleomycin for HL and brain function in survivors. Primary Objective To evaluate dynamic changes in CBF and oxygenation during exercise with Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in HL survivors and non-cancer controls matched for age, sex, race, and ethnicity. . Secondary Objectives To examine the degree of CO2 clearance (DLCO/ETCO2) during rest and exercise in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) survivors compared to non-cancer controls matched for age, sex, race, and ethnicity. CONTROLS Volunteers are being asked to take part in this research study because they are non-first degree relative or friend of someone who received treatment for a childhood cancer or similar illness at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or are an employee/affiliate of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and have agreed to be a St. Jude Life Cohort Study (SJLIFE) community control.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic, and preliminary clinical activity of M9466 as monotherapy or in combination with tuvusertib in participants with advanced solid tumors. Study details include: Study/Treatment Duration: Participants will be treated until disease progression, death, discontinuation, or End of Study. Visit Frequency: Every week in the first 2 cycles, followed by every 3 weeks in the subsequent cycles. An End of Treatment Visit and Safety Follow-up/Discontinuation Visit are scheduled after the treatment period.
This retrospective study is conducted to gain more knowledge on use and complications of 3mm long implants used in percutaneous (through the skin) bone-anchored hearing system (BAHS) surgeries in adults. Patients included have already been treated and recieved an implant with the wide diameter (Ø: 4.5 mm) design, either of 3- or 4mm length. The main purpose of the study is to investigate implant survival three months after implantation.
