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.
The purpose of this study is to determine if playing a virtual reality walking game can help improve neuropathic pain in adults with incomplete spinal cord injury.
This study is designed to assess the following tumor types: endometrial cancer (EC); head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC); pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); colorectal cancer (CRC); hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); adenocarcinoma of esophagus, gastroesophageal junction, and stomach (Ad-Eso/GEJ/gastric); non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); and urothelial carcinoma (UC).
The goal of this project is to evaluate the performance of Picterus Jaundice Pro in an American population, including preterm and term newborns and pre- and post- phototherapy.
The goal of this observational study is to build psychometric evidence for the Home-Based Child Care Toolkit for Nurturing School-Age Children (HBCC-NSAC Toolkit) provider questionnaire. The main objectives of the study are to: 1) assess the reliability of the HBCC-NSAC Toolkit provider questionnaire, 2) assess the evidence for its validity compared to other existing measures of HBCC quality, and 3) examine invariance across subgroups (that is, look for the absence of any differential item functioning [DIF]). HBCC provider participants will complete a questionnaire in the HBCC-NSAC Toolkit. A subset of providers will also participate in an observation of their child care setting. Parents or guardians of children receiving care from HBCC providers will complete a survey.
The goal of lower limb rehabilitation after stroke is recovery of independent walking at home and in the community. Few stroke survivors achieve this goal. Suboptimal outcomes are due to the serious and intransigent nature of movement impairments caused by stroke and the scarcity of feasible and effective therapies that restore movement lost to stroke. Our team has developed a novel exercise intervention called CUped (pronounced cupid, like the Roman god) to address barriers to recovery and improve walking after stroke. CUped is so called because it compels use of the paretic limb during a movement that resembles pedaling. This project will examine safety, acceptability, and tolerance to CUped, characterize its therapeutic effects, and identify dose-response relationships. Results will provide preliminary data for an R01 to support a randomized controlled trial (RCT). CUped is designed to help stroke survivors recover lower limb movement lost to stroke, thereby improving walking. It is intended to be used as an adjunct to gait training. CUped uses a robotic technology that eliminates compensatory movements that interfere with recovery, compels use of the paretic lower limb, and targets 3 key movement impairments caused by stroke: decreased muscle output from the paretic limb, inappropriate paretic muscle timing, and abnormal interlimb coordination. Exercise is done in sitting which enables high repetition practice. Like walking, CUped requires continuous, reciprocal use of both lower limbs; effects are likely to transfer to walking. The risk-reward profile of this proposal is ideal for an R21, which is an NIH funding opportunity intended to encourage exploratory/developmental research by providing support for the early and conceptual stages of project development. CUped is a novel therapy grounded in a physiologic premise and based on prior observations from our laboratory. The investigators have pilot data suggesting that CUped fulfills its design specifications, and this study will be the first to test its therapeutic effects. In this Stage 1 rehabilitation trial, The investigators will support or quickly refute the hypothesis that CUped is safe, acceptable, and capable of eliciting a therapeutic response in stroke survivors. The investigators will also examine tolerance to CUped and dose-response effects. If our hypotheses are supported, the investigators will be poised to run an RCT to isolate the effects of CUped and compare them to standard care. Future work will investigate physiologic mechanisms underlying the effects of CUped.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of cyclosporine ophthalmic solution, 0.1% on corneal endothelial cell health in comparison to a hypotonic saline solution in subjects with Dry Eye Disease (DED)
The goal of this study is to determine which position, maneuvers or combination thereof generates the highest pressure at the EGJ as assessed by high-resolution esophageal manometry and thus greater or more robust contraction of the diaphragm.
The purpose of this study is to ascertain the functional profiles of the immune cells within the gastrointestinal tract and to determine how these cells contribute to autoimmune and neurologic diseases.
The goal of this single-arm, observational pilot study is to learn about the safety, feasibility, preliminary efficacy of TMS for the treatment of depression in people with MS. Participants will receive outpatient TMS treatment over the course of 5-6 weeks. Participants will complete validated questionnaires and exams before, during, and after treatment.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 doses of inhaled pirfenidone (AP01) versus placebo on top of standard of care in participants with PPF over 52 weeks.
