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 study involves an anonymous survey given to parents regarding their perceptions on prescription opioid use for pain control in children undergoing orthopedic surgery.
The investigators will combine state-of-the-art quantitative imaging, on-field biomechanics, and computational analytics into the largest-of-its-kind study to assess hamstring strain injury (HSI) risk and recovery in elite collegiate football players. The study will take place over 3 years and enroll up to 560 student athletes from Division I (D1) teams: University of Wisconsin-Madison, Brigham Young University and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the world, with significant morbidity and mortality. With appropriate oral anticoagulation, the risk of stroke due to atrial fibrillation decreases by 64%. Although atrial fibrillation is commonly diagnosed and treated in the Emergency Department (ED), oral anticoagulation is significantly underprescribed. Underprescribing has been attributed to a lack of empowerment and deferral of prescribing to longitudinal care clinicians. Using a convergent parallel quantitative-qualitative design (mixed-methods), we propose a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial design with the implementation of a clinical decision support (CDS) tool in adults with new-onset AF that are OAC-naïve and at significant risk for stroke. In parallel, we will use qualitative approaches to evaluate clinician facilitators and barriers to tool utilization as well as patient satisfaction and engagement with the tool.
The goal of this pilot study is to examine the effect of repetitive acute intermittent hypoxia on motor learning in persons with chronic, incomplete spinal cord injury.
The proposed clinical trial would evaluate the use of smartphone applications ("apps", which have well-established efficacy in reducing cigarette and alcohol use) to prevent relapse among patients receiving medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. In addition to standard app-based self-monitoring of drug use and personalized feedback, project innovation is enhanced by the proposed use of location-tracking technology for targeted, personalized intervention when participants enter self-identified areas of high risk for relapse. Furthermore, the proposed sub-study would use longitudinal functional neuroimaging to elucidate the brain-cognition relationships underlying individual differences in treatment outcomes, offering broad significance for understanding and enhancing the efficacy of this and other app-based interventions.
Hip preservation surgery patients experience physical trauma, both in the physical injury itself and following surgery, and face potential long-lasting effects such as muscle weakness or diminished joint function, hip pain, and fear. Many of these patients report greater anxiety and depression following surgery, which can further compound negative outcomes in these patients. This study is a single-blind, randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the effects of a remotely-delivered 8-week mindfulness intervention on patient-reported outcomes following hip preservation surgery.
The Impella ECP Study is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study evaluating the rate of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) with the Impella ECP device in adult patients undergoing elective or urgent high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention. The above applies to Impella ECP Continued Access Protocol
This is a non-interventional, long-term safety study of allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy in patients who have participated in a prior Caribou-sponsored clinical study, in a special access program, or in another study such as an IIT. Its purpose of is to collect long-term observational data to identify and understand potential late side effects in patients who have received CAR-T cell therapies.
Mid-facial recession following immediate implant placement (IIP) in the place of a tooth poses a significant challenge for clinicians to treat. Emerging evidence shows that connective tissue graft (CTG) augmentation may mitigate the remodeling of the buccal bone crest (i.e., bone within the gum that supports the tooth), and lessen the soft tissue recession. A recent systemic review suggested a supplemental CTG grafting to IIP as a standard of care, especially for cases that have a high esthetic risk, specifically with a thin gingival biotype (i.e., thin gum tissue) and a thin buccal bone plate. The alternative option to augment the facial contour is the xenogeneic volume-stable collagen matrix (VCMX), which favors avoiding morbidity but hasn't been thoroughly investigated on IIP. Despite that IIP has attracted considerable scientific interest, the dynamic changes of the bone crest and soft tissue, especially during the early healing stage (<3 months following IIP), are little known. Recently, an ultrasonography protocol has been validated for its diagnostic value in dental implant research. High-frequency B-mode imaging and color flow and power Doppler are implemented to display the spatial relation of anatomic landmarks of peri-implant tissues and to visualize the flow velocity and blood volume, respectively. It provides a valuable real-time diagnostic tool to evaluate hard and soft tissue remodeling and tissue perfusion changes during the early healing stage around IIP, comparing CTG and VCMX grafting. Hence, the purpose of this three-arm RCT is to compare the clinical efficacy and longitudinal remodeling of hard and soft tissue around IIP among CTG, VCMX, and control (without soft tissue augmentation) group. This will be the first evidence of the longitudinal tissue changes around immediate implant, and the first RCT comparing the clinical efficacy and esthetic outcome of xenogenic soft tissue substitute (i.e., from the non-living bone of another species) to the gold standard approach (CTG) on the immediate implants.
A trial to compare the performance of the SoftHand Pro (SHP) and Ossur i-Limb in people with transradial limb loss over an 8-week period.
