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.
Increased computational power has made it possible to implement complex image recognition tasks and machine learning to be implemented in every day usage. The computer vision and machine learning based solution used in this project (Nelli) is an automatic seizure detection and reporting method that has a CE mark for this specific use. The present study will provide data to expand the utility and detection capability of NELLI and enhance the accuracy and clinical utility of automated computer vision and machine learning based seizure detection.
In this study, the investigators aim to examine the effects of art therapy in reducing burnout in healthcare providers. Using the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel, the investigators will measure burnout in Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) providers before and after the administration of a 4-week art therapy group.
Invasive telemonitoring has shown promising results in reducing readmissions and health service utilization, and improving patient outcomes; however, such evidence is lacking for non-invasive telemonitoring. Our proposal is to deploy a wearable solution that predicts physiological perturbation comparable to invasive devices and to perform continuous remote patient monitoring; this will be connected to a structured, cascading, escalation pathway involving home health nurses, advanced practitioner providers, specialists, and surgeons, and has the potential to transform care management in the post-discharge period, where patients are the most vulnerable for readmission.
The purpose of this research is to treat vitiligo with a topical PGF2α, microneedling and excimer laser. The goal is to have greater repigmentation than the standard of care (excimer) after 12 weeks of treatment. The study is a pilot, split study meaning the patient will receive one experimental and one standard of care treatment on symmetric lesions of similar location, geometrics and size. Enrolled subjects will present biweekly to clinic on the same two days for twelve weeks. One lesion will be treated with microneedling, topical PGF2α and calibrated excimer laser, while the parallel lesion will be excimer laser alone. Physical exam, photographs, and a review of of the subjects medical records will occur in the study. Changes in size, appearance, and adverse events will be monitored throughout the study. The patient will also agree to close up photographs of their lesions throughout the study. The possible benefit of joining this study is that the treatment received may be more effective than the other study treatment or then other available treatments for vitiligo, although this cannot be guaranteed.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, multicenter inpatient study to examine the efficacy and safety of KarXT in adult subjects who are acutely psychotic with a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnosis of schizophrenia. The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of KarXT (a fixed combination of xanomeline 125 mg and trospium chloride 30 mg twice daily [BID]) versus placebo in reducing Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total scores in adult inpatients with a DSM-5 diagnosis of schizophrenia. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate improvement in disease severity and symptoms, safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in adult inpatients with a DSM-5 diagnosis of schizophrenia.
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Meru Health Program (MHP) versus a waitlist (WL) control group, which will be offered access to the MHP after the waitlist period (12 weeks) is over, for adults with depression. The Meru Health Program (MHP) is a 12-week mobile mental health intervention delivered via Smartphone app that includes components of several evidence-based treatments (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Activation Therapy, Mindfulness Meditation) and also several promising therapies (heart rate variability-biofeedback [HRVB], nutritional psychiatry, sleep training) that is overseen by a licensed clinical therapist.
Hispanic adults are twice as likely to have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and 1.5 times more likely to die from the disease than non-Hispanic whites. These disparities are mediated, in part, by less healthful levels of physical activity, dietary quality, medication adherence, and self-monitoring of blood glucose than non-Hispanic whites. Innovative approaches that arise from affected communities are needed to address these health disparities. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has been successful in targeting health issues among Hispanic and immigrant populations; CBPR is an effective approach for addressing health behaviors in a sociocultural context. In 2004, the research team developed a CBPR partnership between immigrant communities and academic institutions called Rochester Healthy Community Partnership (RHCP) Storytelling or narrative-based interventions are designed to incorporate culture-centric health messaging to promote behavior change among vulnerable populations. Digital storytelling interventions are narrative-based videos elicited through a CBPR approach to surface the authentic voices of individuals overcoming obstacles toward engaging in health promoting behaviors to shape positive health behaviors of viewers through influences on attitudes and beliefs. RHCP partners from Hispanic communities identified T2D as a priority area for intervention, and have co-created each of the formative phases leading up to this proposal. Narrative theory and social cognitive theory formed the conceptual basis for intervention development. The study team conducted surveys and focus groups to derive the approach and personnel for building an authentic intervention that was created in a digital storytelling workshop where stories about diabetes self-management were captured, recorded, and edited to derive the final intervention products in video forma. The respective digital storytelling videos were pilot tested with 25 patients across healthcare institutions in Minnesota and Arizona. The intervention was rated as highly acceptable, culturally relevant, and perceived as efficacious for motivating behavioral change. The overall objective of this project is therefore to assess the efficacy of a digital storytelling intervention derived through a CBPR approach on self-management of T2D among Hispanic adults during a pandemic.
This study is a comparison of analgesia effect from peripheral nerve blockade (PNB) with liposomal bupivacaine combined with bupivacaine compared to PNB with ropivacaine combined with dexamethasone for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
This study randomly assigned 114 participants with significant fear of heights to one of three conditions: a) a single session of virtual reality exposure; b) a single session of in vivo exposure; or c) a control condition. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of virtual reality exposure to the efficacy of in vivo exposure or no exposure for participants with significant fear of heights.
The purpose of study BMX-02-001 is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and feasibility of orally administered BX002-A to deliver viable bacteriophages to the gut.
