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.
Chronic ankle instability (CAI) results in neuromuscular impairments compromising balance, lumbopelvic stability, and hip strength. Balance training has proven to be an effective intervention for individuals with CAI. Additionally, unilateral balance training for those with CAI has previously led to cross-education effects in which the untrained limb exhibited improved balance performance. However, the ability of unilateral balance training to improve contralateral hip strength and lumbopelvic stability in those with CAI is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the cross-education effects of balance training on hip strength and lumbopelvic stability in individuals with CAI. Thirty individuals with CAI will be randomized into control (CON) and balance (BAL) groups. Baseline testing include a unilateral hip bridge, hip strength, and balance tests of the uninvolved limb. For the unilateral hip bridge, the participant will hold a bridge through the test limb for maximum time. Isometric hip strength will be measured for external rotation (ER), extension (EXT), and abduction (ABD) using a handheld dynamometer. The star excursion balance test (SEBT) requires participants to maintain a single-leg stance while reaching for maximum distance with the opposite leg in three directions: anterior (SEBT-ANT), posterolateral (SEBT-PL), and posteromedial (SEBT-PM). The BAL group will participate in a progressive balance training program three times a week for eight weeks for the involved limb, whereas CON will not. All baseline measures will be reassessed at the end of the 8 weeks. Separate 2-way repeated measures ANOVAs will analyze the effects of group and time on each outcome. Additionally, each group's mean changes from baseline to post-intervention will be assessed with Cohen's d effect sizes. Statistical significance is set a priori at P<0.05.
Produce prescription programs (PRx) are promising interventions for improving health outcomes for patients with both type 2 diabetes (T2D) and food insecurity, but uptake has been suboptimal. There is a critical need for scalable, evidence-based implementation strategies for improving PRx uptake and optimizing the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these interventions. This study will co-design and pilot a community health worker (CHW) strategy and test the effectiveness of the strategy compared to PRx participants without a CHW. The overall objective of this study is to test and evaluate a theory-informed, user-centered community health worker (CHW) implementation strategy to improve uptake of a PRx, among Hispanic Medicaid-eligible patients with T2D in Connecticut (CT). CHWs will offer participants personalized support by overcoming barriers and leveraging facilitators to PRx uptake.
Zavegepant (Zavzpret) is approved for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in the US. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and tolerability of zavegepant for the acute treatment of migraine attacks amongst participants who are using calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) migraine preventive treatments.
To find the recommended doses of lisaftoclax and olverembatinib that can be given in combination with decitabine to participants with advanced CML and Ph+ AML.
The DREAM-ON study will investigate whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is useful to predict risk for developing diabetes mellitus (DM) and pre-diabetes mellitus (PDM), the need for insulin therapy among those who develop DM, and to determine whether CGM can provide insight into the pathophysiology and DM subtype among participants who have experienced an episode of acute pancreatitis (AP). Thus, the results of the DREAM-ON study could inform future clinical practice guidelines for the management AP as well as potentially extending the licensing authorization for CGM to include use in patients with pancreatogenic (Type 3c) DM.

The goal of this single-arm study is to explore the use of early virtual reality-based rehabilitation as an adjunct to conventional physical/occupational therapy in adult patients with acute ischemic stroke. The main question it aims to answer is: Feasibility and tolerability of using immersive Virtual Reality technology-based therapy for patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke in an inpatient hospital setting Participants will receive 1 or 2 virtual reality therapy sessions and complete surveys at the end of each session.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Clareon™ PanOptix™ Pro Trifocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) compared to Clareon™ PanOptix™ Trifocal IOL.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate a new noninvasive technique that patients may use to help reduce the pain that they experience during cortisone injections for trigger fingers. It will also help provide information that may help support the gate control theory of pain as a framework for understanding and managing acute pain.The main questions it aims to answer are: Can a physical stimulus near the site of cortisone injection reduce the pain experienced by the patient during the injection? Does the physical stimulation or the cognitive distraction contribute more to pain relief? Researchers will compare a physical stimulus near the injection site to a placebo (a similar task that theoretically should not reduce the experience of pain) to see if physical stimuli work to improve pain during injections. Participants will: Estimate how much pain they expect to experience during a cortisone injection Receive a cortisone injection for a trigger finger while performing one of three possible actions (control, placebo task, or the investigated physical stimulus near the injection site) Express how much pain they actually experienced during the injection
The purpose of this observational study is to understand how adults who survive acute respiratory failure (ARF) and the people (usually family) who support ARF survivors after returning home think about the first 6 months of recovery. The study aims to find out if expectations about the recovery process after ARF are associated with mental health symptoms in both survivors and the survivor's care partners. Study participants will complete 3 surveys over 6 months. These surveys ask questions about participants' future expectations, feelings, and mood. Surveys can be completed online, over the phone, or on paper.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of single and multiple ascending doses of MTX-463 administered in healthy adults.
