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.
1. Personalize treatment for prostate cancer based on how aggressive the disease is and 2. Learn if apalutamide-based treatment can help to reduce fatigue and other side effects of treatment in participants who are being treated with radiation therapy for prostate cancer, as compared to standard therapy.
People with spinal cord injuries may experience muscle tightness or uncontrollable spasms. This study is being conducted to investigate whether transcutaneous spinal stimulation can improve these symptoms. Transcutaneous spinal stimulation is a non-surgical intervention by applying electrical currents using skin electrodes over the lower back and belly. The investigators want to see how well the intervention of transcutaneous spinal stimulation performs by testing different levels of stimulation pulse rates. Also, transcutaneous spinal stimulation is compared to muscle relaxants such as baclofen and tizanidine, commonly given to people with spinal cord injuries, to reduce muscle stiffness and spasms. By doing this, the investigators hope to discover if transcutaneous spinal stimulation similarly reduces muscle spasms and stiffness or if combining both methods works best. This could help improve treatment options for people with spinal cord injuries in the future.
Aim 1: To demonstrate the feasibility by determining proportion of completed medication reconciliation, Central Nervous System active Potentially Inappropriate Medication (CNS PIM) use among patients with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in the emergency department (ED), and communication between ED clinical pharmacists and outpatient prescribers. Aim 2: To demonstrate the feasibility of collecting the primary and secondary outcomes for a subsequent study. The future primary outcome will be reduction in CNS PIMs 90 days after an ED visit. Secondary outcomes will include outpatient follow-up, repeat ED visits, and hospitalizations during the 90 days following an ED visit. Aim 3: To demonstrate the acceptability of the PRIDE intervention to outpatient clinicians using the Acceptability of Intervention Measure and qualitative analysis of responses.
The goal of this study is to determine whether erectile function is differentially impacted by a single plant-based meat meal versus a single animal meat meal in healthy men with normal erectile function.
The proposed project aims to test the cognitive and neural effects of a cognitive training in a sample of individuals seeking treatment for anxiety, depression, or traumatic stress symptoms. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group 1 will receive a computer-based program that is designed as a cognitive training intervention and Group 2 will receive a similar computer-based exercise that researchers think will be less effective in training thinking skills (also known as a control or sham condition). Participants will be compared on cognitive performance and brain response during cognitive tasks from baseline to post-treatment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if a supplement called palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is effective in reducing the pain in patients with chronic inflammatory pain conditions. The main question the trial aims to answer is if PEA works better at treating a patients pain and improving their function better than a placebo. Participants will be divided into two equal groups and asked to take either PEA or a placebo for 8 weeks.
This is a 24-week, open-label pilot study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of 5% simvastatin ointment in treating 12 children with superficial IH. The primary objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of topical treatment with 5% simvastatin ointment for superficial IH over 24 weeks. The secondary objective: 1.1 To evaluate the efficacy of 5% simvastatin ointment when topical treatment is administered twice daily for 24 weeks. Evaluation is performed at each clinic visit via investigator global assessment (IGA) based on standardized 3D digital photography and hemangioma activity score (HAS). 1.2 To evaluate the impact of 5% simvastatin ointment on quality of life using the IH-QoL questionnaire.
The BEGIN Study by BostonGene and Exigent Genomic INsight evaluates the efficacy of comprehensive molecular testing in advanced cancer patients. Using the BostonGene Tumor Portrait test, the study aims to identify actionable findings, assess feasibility, and determine patient enrollment in clinical trials. Four cohorts of 100 patients each will be studied over two years, focusing on treatment decisions and patient outcomes. This study seeks to demonstrate the clinical utility of genomic testing in guiding therapy for advanced cancer patients in community settings.
Early Intervention to Promote Cardiovascular Health of Mothers and Children (ENRICH) is a cluster randomized clinical trial, funded by the National Heart Lung & Blood Institute. The study is designed to test the effectiveness of home visiting intervention to promote cardiovascular health and reduce disparities in maternal and early childhood cardiovascular health. Sites, in partnership with evidence-based home visiting programs, are recruiting 6400 participants in total (i.e., 3200 parent-dyads which includes 3200 parents and 3200 children) from diverse community settings with a high burden of cardiovascular disease risk factors.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a clinical decision support (CDS) alert to facilitate the co-prescribing of naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal agent, with high-risk opioid prescriptions. Prescribing naloxone with opioids is a best practice described in the 2022 US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on opioid prescribing. The CDS can improve quality of care delivered by improving compliance with the guideline defined best practices. The project will compare CDS alert facilitated co-prescribing of naloxone with high-risk opioid prescriptions vs usual care to evaluate the effectiveness of the CDS alert for improving naloxone prescribing. The patients are not assigned to an intervention and will be receiving any changes in care as part of their routine medical care, rather than a specific intervention that is distinct from their usual medical care. The researchers hypothesize that the CDS alert will be acceptable to providers while increasing naloxone co-prescribing which will reduce the number of opioid overdoses in subsequent 6 months.
