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.
This study will assess feasibility and acceptability of an intervention designed to increase smoking cessation motivation among patients with a cancer not widely known to be smoking related.
A cohort study to investigate the effectiveness of radio intervention comprising 10-minute of drama, 10-minute of discussion led by community extension workers, and 30-minute phone-in from listeners on childhood vaccination coverage and timeliness
This is a parallel design study. Up to 40 subjects with a full mandibular and full maxillary dentures will be enrolled into the study. Subjects will use their current denture care +/- a treatment gel for 4 weeks. Subjects will have an Oral Soft Tissue exam, a Mucosa Condition Assessment, and a Pre-Gum Abrasion Evaluation followed by a peanut challenge and then have a Post-Gum Abrasion Evaluation at designated timepoints.
Multi-center, fixed volume, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel group, dose escalation comparison study of TDM-105795 in male subjects, 18 to 55 years old, with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA).
This project explores if various nature based activities can lead to acute improvements in emotional, physical and cognitive health outcomes and encouraging senior center (JABA) service users to return to a safe environment. The activities the investigators will use include walking in nature, engaging in physical planting and cerebral, citizen science based activities.
There is an urgent need for evidence-based interventions to reduce risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and improve health and safety behaviors for low-income workers. Upstream interventions addressing these organizational characteristics and work experiences may be especially effective in preventing adverse health outcomes because they address underlying sources of elevated risk particularly important for low-wage workers. Low-wage workers have less schedule control, more irregular working hours, and shortened breaks due to time pressure to complete work tasks. The objective is to develop and test feasible intervention methods to modify the work organization and contribute to reductions in MSD risk, and improvements work-related well-being and job satisfaction. First, this study will identify characteristics of the work organization that can be feasibly modified through changes in management practices, based on interviews with food service managers and focus groups with workers. Second, the investigators will determine the feasibility and potential efficacy of an integrated TWH intervention in improving workers' ergonomic practices, MSD symptom, as well as in changing the work organization and environment related to work-related well-being and job satisfaction. The contribution of this study will be significant because it is expected to contribute to reducing disparities in these health outcomes by directly intervening on an underlying source of these disparities.
Two randomized controlled trials will be conducted to examine the effect of a food supplement on proinflammatory cytokines and biomarkers in an adult population recently diagnosed with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic or experiencing only mild symptoms. The supplement, palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), is marketed under the trademarked product with increased bioavailability and format versatility: Levagen+™ (Gencor Pacific Limited, Irvine, CA). The supplement curcumin is marketed under the trademarked product with increased bioavailability: HydroCurc (Gencor Pacific Limited, Irvine, CA)
The purpose of this study is to learn how to better detect infection and understand how severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes lung disease and is spread. The novel device called PneumoniaCheck is a safe way to collect material from the lung from coughs. Study participants will collect cough specimens over a 24 hour period.
With the FDA's emergency use authorization declaration in December of 2020, the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine became the first of several vaccines to kick off the mass vaccination effort across the United States against CoronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Subsequently, Moderna as well as Johnson and Johnson both had vaccines receive emergency use authorization. While the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccines both utilize novel mRNA technology, Johnson and Johnson's vaccine uses a viral vector that has been used previously in both the approved European Ebola vaccine and a trial vaccine for HIV. However, none of these vaccine types have previously been approved in the United States. While preliminary data from safety and efficacy trials have shown positive results, actual-world data on its effectiveness is still lacking. Several small cohort studies and one large trial from Israel are currently the only insights into the actual rates of infection, hospitalization, and severe illness among vaccinated individuals. As COVID-19 variants, with the potential to reduce vaccine efficacy, continue to emerge worldwide, there is a need of more data regarding the real-world effectiveness of our current mass vaccination efforts. Vaccination efforts in the State of Michigan have been ongoing since December 2020. Given that approximately 33.7% of the state's population is either partially or fully vaccinated, it is unclear why the number of cases has risen so dramatically or if immunization efforts can help the situation. Given the current situation in the State of Michigan, this study will evaluate the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination on rates of hospital visits and severe illness when breakthrough Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection occurs in a region with high incidence of variant strain disease.
Assessing speech intelligibility in a pilot study of patients speaking with a mask microphone while being treated with standard of care non-invasive ventilation. This is a feasibility study to test the microphone in a real world setting.
