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 phase I trial evaluates how well a mobile device-based breast cancer survivorship interactive care plan works in monitoring symptoms and recovery in patients with stage 0-III breast cancer. The interactive care plan provides patients with individualized, 'just in time' education materials to promote self-management for those reporting difficult to control symptoms, as well as escalations to contact their care team for signs or symptoms concerning for cancer coming back (recurrence). The interactive care plan may help alleviate the symptoms of fatigue, insomnia, hot flashes, and sexual dysfunction; increase physical activity level and improve quality of life in patients with breast cancer.
A questionnaire will be given to patients who are considering undergoing hand surgery as a treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to help participants decide between two surgical options- Wide-Awake-Local-Anesthesia-no-Tourniquet (WALANT) and traditional open hand surgery. These patients will be asked to complete a pre-questionnaire knowledge test and a post-questionnaire knowledge test. the primary objective is to validate this questionnaire to be used by other orthopedic surgeons. This study will also reveal patient preference between these two surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome.
The objective of this study is to determine whether the remote monitoring of myopia patients with the EyeQue Insight (visual acuity test) can replace regularly scheduled follow-up visits.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design study of BLU-5937 for the treatment of chronic pruritus in adult subjects with atopic dermatitis (AD).
The purpose of this study is to collect patients' experiences and feedback to better understand and improve mental health care using telehealth services. This is critically important as telehealth appointments, including both phone and video calls, continue to be offered for regular appointments to reduce in-person interaction as a preventive measure to help control the spread of COVID-19.
The proposed study will be conducted to investigate the mechanism of patients' responses to prone positioning with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and non-COVID-19 ARDS utilizing lung ultrasound.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of APX3330 to treat diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME).
Study assessing four-channel prosthesis controller, that compares contralateral (mirrored) EMG-force training to ipsilateral EMG-target training with both limb-absent and able-bodied subjects
Given the known health benefits of breast milk, the World Health Organization and pediatric and obstetrical professional societies all recommend that babies only consume breast milk (also referred to as "exclusive breastfeeding (EBF)") through 6 months of age. While many women initiate breastfeeding while at the study institution hospital, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding when mothers and babies are discharged is only 34%. Sixty percent of mothers stopped breastfeeding earlier than intended to primarily due to concerns about difficulty with lactation (i.e. sore nipples, inadequate milk supply), baby's nutrition (i.e weight gain and satiety) and effort required to pump breast milk. It is known that prenatal education by trained health care providers is effective in increasing EBF rates; however, these interventions are time and labor intensive and require employment of breastfeeding specialists. Therefore, a simple, brief, easily accessible breastfeeding education tool is needed to directly educated new mothers on how to breastfeed and what the actual nutritional needs of an infant are in order to support women's breastfeeding goals. The objective of this study is to assess whether a simple breastfeeding education video viewed at the time of admission to the hospital for delivery will increase EBF at the time of hospital discharge through 6 months postpartum by improving women's perception of their milk supply and their breast feeding efficiency. The investigators predict that woman who view a short breastfeeding education video just prior to delivery will have an improved perception of their breastfeeding efficiency and milk supply and will be more likely to avoid formula use while admitted to the hospital and though 6 months postpartum. In this study, the investigators will randomly assign women to view an educational video focused on breastfeeding in the first days of a baby's life and compare them to women who receive the standard educational pamphlet on breastfeeding given to all women delivering at the study institution. The investigators will then survey each participant after her delivery on how she is feeding her baby (breast milk, formula, or both) and how she perceives her milk supply and breastfeeding efficiency just before she is discharged from the hospital. The investigators will then call women on the phone at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months to reassess how they are feeding their babies (breast milk, formula or both). In addition to baseline characteristics about the individuals such as age, race, and employment status, information regarding their pregnancy and delivery will be obtained to assess for any confounding factors that may effect their ability to breastfeed. This research will help determine if video education can provide sufficient education to help increase breastfeeding rates. Additionally, this research may inform the research community on the overall effectiveness of video education in healthcare, allowing for a similar approach to be used for other educational initiatives.
This study will investigate the effects of the addition of 100 grams/day of cooked pulses (i.e. lentil, pinto beans, peas, chickpeas, kidney beans) to the diet of postmenopausal women for 12 weeks on gut health, metabolic outcomes and bone biomarkers.
