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 purpose of this research is to further investigate the potential of brain stiffness as a novel biomarker for Alzheimer's disease.
The overall goal is to investigate the effectiveness of a novel intervention - transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for neuropathic pain management in people after spinal cord injury.
The overall goal is to investigate the effectiveness of a novel intervention - transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for motor recovery in stroke survivors.
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare conditions for tracheal intubation obtained with modified time principal induction with 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium and 1 mg/kg succinylcholine. Specifically, the investigators will be evaluating ease of laryngoscopy, vocal cord view, vocal cord opening, and movement of limbs and coughing during tracheal intubation in order to assess intubation conditions, to compare efficiency and success rate of tracheal intubation between two induction agents and to determine the rate of patient awareness during induction and post-operative recall of paralysis.
This is an observational study in which data already collected from patients with metastatic colorectal cancer will be studied. Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a cancer of the colon (large bowel) or the rectum (lowest part of the bowel just before the anus) that has spread to other parts of the body. The study drug, regorafenib, is already approved for cancer doctors to prescribe to patients with mCRC. It is an anti-cancer drug that blocks several proteins, called enzymes, which are involved in the growth of cancer. The participants in this study were treated with regorafenib as part of their regular care from their doctors. Some studies have shown that patients with mCRC who took regorafenib had improved survival outcomes, and some of them did well on the treatment for a long time. Cancer doctors have also reported from their routine practice that some patients with mCRC are able to respond to regorafenib for a longer period than others. However, there is limited knowledge about which people this is likely to happen for. To better understand the long-term response of regorafenib treatment, there is a need for a large-scale study in the real world. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about patients who showed a long-term response to regorafenib as a mono treatment for mCRC. To do this, researchers will collect the following information from the participants' health records: Duration of treatment with regorafenib Percentage of participants who received treatment with regorafenib for at least 5 months and 4 months. Characteristics, including age, sex, race, health condition, and signs and symptoms of mCRC, of participants who received treatment with regorafenib for at least 5 months and 4 months. The data will come from an electronic health records database called the Flatiron Health Data Repository for patients in the United States. The data will be from patients with mCRC who started treatment with regorafenib between July 2013 and December 2022. Researchers will consider the data of the participants collected until May 2023. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
This study will examine the efficacy and safety of a self-guided digital therapeutic app for the adjunct treatment of Major Depressive Disorder compared to a control app in adolescents and adults.
This is a non-randomized Phase 2 study of sacituzumab govitecan (IMMU-132) in subjects with recurrent or persistent platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancers.
This is a prospective, single-arm, phase II study. Patients will be treated with an allogeneic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) using fludarabine, melphalan and total body irradiation (TBI) conditioning with different melphalan and TBI doses based on patient- and disease-related risk.
The purpose of this pilot interventional study is to evaluate the use of Dynamic Airway Computed Tomography (DA-CT) for diagnosis of tracheomalacia in children 0-18 years for whom flexible bronchoscopy has been performed. The primary aims are to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, image quality, and radiation exposure of DA-CT as a potential noninvasive alternative to the gold standard of flexible bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of tracheomalacia. The results from this pilot study will help to estimate sample size for a larger-scale study with more precise estimates of DA-CT diagnostic potential.
Physical therapy approaches for balance and walking deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD) have limited effectiveness, with mostly short-lasting benefits. An exoskeleton is a device that straps to the legs and provides a passive force to assist people to better ambulate. The goal of this study is to establish the feasibility and safety of a lightweight exoskeleton on mobility and fall reduction in people with PD. As most PD patients eventually require assistive mobility devices, the exoskeleton represents a new option for increased, mobility, quality of life, and independence. Qualified subjects will come to the clinic twice weekly for six weeks (12 total visits) and wear the exoskeleton device while walking under the supervision of a trained physical therapist. Study staff will also interview participants and assess their PD symptoms, quality of life, and overall mobility. This study hopes to establish exoskeletons as modern, standard of care devices, which allow people with PD to maintain more independent and productive lives.
