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.
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is an over-the-counter "nutraceutical" that is more commonly being used by healthy adults for pain management, recovery from strenuous exercise, and general wellness. However, little research exists on the effects of CBD in otherwise healthy individuals. This study uses iontophoresis, a common technique used in physical therapy, to determine the effectiveness of topical CBD in lessening the reflex increased cutaneous vascular conductance response to stimulation of the skin.
Single-institution, prospective nonrandomized pilot study of critical limb ischemia patients with planned lower extremity revascularization will undergo Flowmet-D measurements in a wound care center setting to determine threshold values associated with wound healing and amputation. A subset of patients will undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy and will have Flowmet-D measurements to determine those who respond best to therapy.
The study will utilize pre-post survey measures to evaluate Project ECHO for ILD with respect to an initial set of practice and clinical outcomes and relies on questionnaire data obtained from providers participating in Project ECHO for ILD at baseline, at 6 months, and at study end.
The proposed study is a multi-center single arm retrospective and prospective data collection, of patients treated with the LVIS device of specific sizes of 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.5mm with up to 5 years follow-up. Information collected during the study will be standardized across centers to include pre-treatment baseline characteristics of patients including aneurysm(s) symptoms, procedural information, prespecified clinical safety events of interest, and follow-up imaging, clinical visits or telephone calls.
The study will assess whether patients of providers participating in Project ECHO for ILD experience reduced stress, including financial stress, based on their ability to receive timely and local care and services, The study will employ nested mixed-method design at baseline, at 6 months and at 12 months to answer the study question.
The purpose of this study is to compare two versions of school-based mental health screening to improve the receipt of mental health services among elementary school students.
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal anesthetic routine for lumbar decompression surgery. General Anesthesia is the standard of care in spine surgery. Spinal anesthesia in decompressive procedures can be the new standard of care. Recently, it has been found that regional analgesia is option that has been shown to improve pain and opioid-related outcomes after spine surgery, but has not yet been studied in combination with spinal anesthesia. This is study that consists of two groups: standard of care general anesthesia with a nerve block and a spinal anesthesia with nerve block. Patients are randomized to either of the two groups. There will be 71 patients enrolled in each group for this study.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Removal of the breast, called "mastectomy", is performed either when there is cancer-or an increased risk of cancer-in the breast. This can result in a lot of pain during the months after surgery. Opioids-"narcotics"-are the most common pain control method provided to patients; but they frequently do not relieve enough pain, have undesirable side effects like vomiting and constipation, and are sometimes misused which can lead to addiction. Mastectomy also frequently results in long-term pain which can interfere with physical and emotional functioning; and the more pain patients have immediately after surgery, the greater the risk of developing long-term pain. Numbing the nerves with local anesthetic can decrease the amount of short- and long-term pain experienced by patients, but even the longest types of these nerve blocks last for hours or days, and not the 1-2 months of pain typically following mastectomy. So, there is reason to believe that if the nerve blocks could be extended so that they last longer than the pain from surgery, short- and long-term pain might be avoided completely without the need for opioids. A prolonged nerve block may be provided by freezing the nerve using a technique called "cryoneurolysis". With cryoneurolysis and ultrasound machines, a small needle-like "probe" may be placed through anesthetized skin and guided to the target nerve to allow freezing. The procedure takes about 5 minutes for each nerve, involves little discomfort, has no side effects, and cannot be misused or become addictive. After 2-3 months, the nerve returns to normal functioning. The investigators have completed a small study suggesting that a single cryoneurolysis treatment may provide potent pain relief after mastectomy. The ultimate objectives of the proposed research study are to determine if temporarily freezing the nerves that go to the breast will decrease short-term pain, opioid use, physical and emotional dysfunction, and long-term pain following mastectomy when added to current and customary postoperative analgesics. The current project is a pragmatic, multicenter, randomized, triple-masked (investigators, participants, statisticians), sham/placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, human-subjects, post-market clinical trial to determine if cryoneurolysis is an effective non-opioid treatment for pain following mastectomy.
Track changes in non-invasive central venous pressure across hospital stay and relationship with readmission
