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 pilot test a culturally tailored behavioral intervention called "WECARE" to enhance caregiving mastery and improve psychosocial wellbeing of Chinese American family caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementia.
Dr. Lisa A. Hark (PI and Study Chair) and an interdisciplinary team have designed the New York City Eye Study (NYCES) to promote eye and vision health equity and address eye health disparities in adults age 21+ (PAR-23-009/NOT-EY-22-004).
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if new educational program prior to epilepsy surgery can either decrease the risk of cognitive decline after surgery or be a help to those patients who experience a decline after undergoing epilepsy surgery. Participants will participate in 2 individual virtual sessions and 4 virtual group sessions over the course of 5-6 weeks prior to their epilepsy surgery. They will asked to fill out online surveys and questionnaires at various times throughout the study, up to 12 months after their surgery. To see if the educational program works, researchers will compare those participating in the educational program with those that are receiving the standard epilepsy care prior to surgery.
The goal of this observational study is to test the Garmin Vivosmart in children and youth (8-21) with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and their parents. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the Garmin Vivosmart increase physical activity (PA)? - Does the Garmin Vivosmart improve T1D status Participants will: - Wear the Garmin Vivosmart (4 or higher) for a year - Complete surveys at the beginning, middle and end of participation asking about your T1D, T1D management, and PA - Parents of children will also complete similar surveys about T1D
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Caption LungAI.
The main aim of this study is to find out how the body processes 1 dose of TAK-279 (pharmacokinetics) in participants with kidney problems compared to participants without kidney problems. Other aims are to check for side effects from TAK-279 and to learn how well participants tolerate 1 dose of TAK-279. The participants will need to stay at the clinic for 11 days.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the combined effects of fundic ablation (FA) and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty on circulating plasma ghrelin, satiation, and total body weight loss, as well as the incidence of adverse events. This procedure will be carried out with the HybridAPC (ERBE Elektromedizin GmbH, Tübingen, Germany). The HybridAPC instrument creates an electric current to deliver a safe amount of thermal injury to a portion of the stomach known as the gastric fundus. This thermal injury will target a hormone called ghrelin which is the only known hormone linked to increasing appetite, calorie intake, and weight gain. This procedure is designed to target the bodily effects of appetite control and gastric sensory and motor functions which cause the feeling of fullness and satiation. When fundic mucosal ablation is paired with endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), this combined investigational approach may lead to decreased fasting ghrelin levels, improved satiation, and greater total body weight loss than traditional ESG. This study will help determine if the combined impact of FA with ESG within the same endoscopic session should be made available to patients as part of a comprehensive weight loss strategy.
Retrospective collection of data from medical records, multicenter, post-market clinical follow-up study.
Clinical practice guidelines for smoking cessation emphasize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help patients develop coping strategies for urges. Mindfulness or Acceptance and commitment Therapy (ACT) offer a different approach, which teaches smokers psychological flexibility through accepting negative experiences. While there is evidence for the efficacy of both CBT and Mindfulness/ACT smoking cessation interventions, it is unclear if these approaches are efficacious when implemented in real-time and with young adults. The overall goal of this proposal is to evaluate the efficacy of CBT and Mindfulness/ACT messages for young adults targeted at specific high-risk situations for smoking.
The goal of this treatment development project is to develop an adaptive ecological momentary intervention (a-EMI) for young adults using marijuana and alcohol that is grounded in self-regulation and social cognitive theories. To determine the most efficacious intervention strategies, the investigators will test variations of intervention components to identify the best combination. The study will take place at the Center for Integrated Health Care Research at Kaiser Permanente Hawaii (KPHI), located in Honolulu (island of Oahu). Following pilot testing with 6 participants, the study team will assess the feasibility and efficacy of intervention components on two primary outcomes (negative consequences and protective behavioral strategies [PBS]) using a fractional factorial experimental design, with post-intervention assessment and one- and three-month follow-ups. 136 diverse young adults recruited from KPHI who report current simultaneous alcohol and marijuana (SAM) use will be randomly assigned to one of eight groups, representing experimental conditions that include or do not include intervention strategies focused on craving reduction and PBS. As a result of this process, individual and/or combined components that lead to improved outcomes will be retained in a subsequent randomized controlled trial, while ineffective components will be eliminated.
