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 aims to compare the efficacy of LifeStories on depression symptomatology compared to antidepressant treatment alone, in addition to examining the effect of the intervention on health-related quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an online ACT-based narrative intervention (Lifestories) or the waitlist control condition (antidepressant treatment alone). It is hypothesized that participants who receive the LifeStories will result in decreased depression and increased quality of life, general functioning and decreased psychological inflexibility compared to the waitlist group.
This study examines if acupuncture or TENS of P-6 and St-36 acupoints has a measurable effect on gag tolerance.
An 8-week yoga intervention to determine the feasibility and acceptability of yoga as a supplemental therapy in the management of inflammatory bowel disease in the adolescent population.
Although the current standard for lumbar puncture and spinal anesthesia is the use of manual palpation of surface landmarks to identify the correct interspace, performance of the procedure at too high of a level may increase the incidence of adverse effects. The current study will evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound in identifying the correct intervertebral space for lumbar puncture thereby improving the safety of the procedure.
Increasing preclinical and clinical data have shown that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) may represent a significant driver of immunosuppression in glioblastoma (GBM, grade IV astrocytoma) and a potential mechanism of treatment resistance to chemoradiotherapy. Tadalafil, an FDA-approved drug with inexpensive cost and excellent safety profile, has been shown to effectively reduce MDSCs and restore T-cell activation in the peripheral blood and in the tumor microenvironment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of targeting MDSCs in newly diagnosed IDH-wildtype grade III-IV astrocytoma by combining tadalafil with standard of care radiation therapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ).
The overarching goal of this study is to develop a suicide prevention program for sexual-and-gender-minority youth and emerging adults. After development of the intervention program, a case series trial will be conducted to test the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and study methods.
In this study, we will test the feasibility of N-of-1 trials for deprescribing beta-blockers in patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction. To achieve this objective we will conduct 16 4-period N-of-1 trials (on vs. off) and subsequently interview participants to better understand feasibility and pragmatism. The N-of-1 trials will be iteratively refined in real-time based on this feedback.
This study tests an adaptation of the HIV Continuum of Prevention, Care, and Treatment Framework (CoPCT) for use in tracking COVID-19 testing and follow-up in a medically and socially vulnerable population. This study uses an integrated research collaborative framework that facilitates dialogue among researchers, community members, and service providers as a tool for optimizing the adaptive intervention and will take place at the North Jersey Community Research Initiative (NJCRI)
The goal of this study is to conduct a pilot feasibility study a novel informatics intervention, GlucoType (also called Platano for Latino users) that incorporates computational analysis of self-monitoring data to help individuals with type 2 diabetes personalize diabetes self-management strategies. This study will include 20 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) recruited from economically disadvantaged and medically underserved communities to test Platano for 4 weeks to assess its acceptability and feasibility. The main outcome measures include problem-solving abilities in diabetes (Diabetes Problem-Solving Inventory (DPSA)) and self-reported diabetes self-care (Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire (SDSCA)). In addition, this study will include a controlled laboratory experiment to assess whether participants can understand and follow personalized nutritional goals generated by Platano.
The goal of this study is to prospectively test the hypothesis that specific dietary modification can improve patient symptoms by promoting beneficial changes in the composition of the microbiome that, in turn, alter the immune response in such a way as to and ameliorate inflammatory conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The potential long term benefit of this research is a validated set of efficacious dietary guidelines for persons with IBD. The potential immediate benefit to patients is symptomatic relief and healing.
