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.
We are conducting a research study at the VA hospital in Bedford, MA to learn more about how a multisensor rapid health assessment device, MouthLab, can help predict or anticipate future health complications in patients with underline conditions after contracting COVID-19. The device was created by a health technology and digital medicine company called Aidar Health, Inc. MouthLab is a non-invasive, hand-held device that works like a breathalyzer. An individual breathes into the device for 60 seconds and the MouthLab gathers more than 10 vital health parameters like temperature, heart rate, SpO2, ECG, and basic lung functions. Participation in the study will last for 6 months, and the purpose is to gather health information from people who have been previously hospitalized with COVID-19. We will use the data to develop an algorithm that predicts future complications of COVID-19, especially among patients with complex conditions (i.e., heart failure, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and enables early intervention.
The objective of this trial is to assess the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of RZ402 in patients with Diabetic Macular Edema.
To evaluate the safety and feasibility of DurAVR™ THV System in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic severe native aortic stenosis.
The purpose of this study is to assess strength gains of proximal musculature in the nondominant upper extremity after implementing blood flow restriction (BFR) and myofascial release (MFR) with the supplementation of whey protein.
The investigators will evaluate the effects of wearing auditory mirror earmuffs on tinnitus and on audiometry.The auditory mirror earmuffs is a device that re-routes auditory input from the left side of the head to the right ear, and vice verse, thereby flipping the auditory input. This procedure is called Auditory Mirror Therapy (AMT).
This couples-based, digital health intervention project is serostatus neutral and seeks to determine efficacy for: a) use and adherence to evidence-based HIV/STI prevention-care strategies; b) creation and adherence to a tailored prevention-care plan; c) creation and adherence to a tailored sexual agreement; and d) improvements in other relationship dynamics among male couples who are in a relationship (defined as greater than 3 months or more).
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the safety and feasibility of giving a single dose of Nivolumab with Ipilimumab or Relatlimab in participants with brain metastases from melanoma who can undergo surgery for removal of their brain metastases 7- 10 days after receiving the study drug.
This is an observational study, in which data from people in the United States (US) with chronic kidney disease (CKD) together with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are studied. The participants in this study are already receiving the study treatment finerenone as part of their regular care from their doctors. In observational studies, only observations are made without specified advice or interventions. CKD is a long-term progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly. In people with T2D, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin, or does not use insulin well enough. The resulting high blood sugar levels can cause damage to the kidneys. CKD often occurs together with T2D or as a consequence of T2D. Finerenone works by blocking certain proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptors. By doing this, it may reduce damage to kidneys, heart and blood vessels. Finerenone was recently approved in the US and is now available for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD together with T2D. Consequently, there is a need to collect more information about how finerenone is used, its safety and how well it works under real-world conditions. The main purpose of this study is to collect and describe the characteristics of people with CKD and T2D who are receiving finerenone treatment as prescribed by their doctors. To do this, the researchers will collect data on: - general information of the participants such as age or gender - any other disease or medical condition in the participants - other medications used while taking finerenone. The researchers will also collect data on kidney function and possible heart problems to find out how well finerenone works. Additionally, medical problems possibly related to finerenone treatment will be collected to learn more about how safe finerenone is in real-world use. The data will come from US databases Optum Electronic Health Records (EHR) and OM1 Real-World Data Cloud (RWDC). They will cover the period from July 2021 to May 2023. Only already available data is collected and studied. There are no required visits or tests in this study.
Difficulties in performing instrumental activity of daily living (IADL) is often an indicator of cognitive decline in older adults, and monitoring IADL and daily functioning can assist in early diagnosis of dementia. The current methods for assessment of IADL are often restricted to a single domain assessment (e.g. managing medication), or rely on subjective reporting by the patient or caregivers. Patients with mild AD typically lack awareness of their IADL deficits and generally overestimate their functional capacity. Proxies are also not always a reliable source of information, as they have a tendency to over or underestimate IADL deficits. In some cases, a proxy is not available or does not have enough knowledge about the patient's functional capacity. Direct measures taken during performance of IADL-related tasks in the clinic have better validity and do not suffer from reporter bias. However, they allow observation of only a small set of tasks and, even then, are quite time-consuming. To date, there are no objective methods for continuous and remote monitoring and assessment of IADL. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has identified this need and released a specific request for SBIR/STTR applications. In response, BioSensics, in collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), proposes to develop and commercialize a robust system for objective and continuous remote monitoring of IADL. This innovative platform, called IADLSys, will detect the timing and type of IADL for a wide range of daily functions, and will also monitor the user's physical activity and life-space.
This study will compare the use of a dual-agent local analgesic (bupivacaine-meloxicam) for abdominal incisions in patients undergoing retropubic mid-urethral sling surgery to see if narcotic usage and pain are impacted.
