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 goal of this clinical trial is to increase shared decision-making between dialysis providers and patients in order to increase patients' probability of transplantation and to reduce socioeconomic/racial disparities in access to kidney transplantation. Participants will receive educational material over the course of 4-6 months about different aspects of the kidney transplant and waitlisting process.
This study is designed to test the effectiveness and implementation of an early intervention therapy for children and their primary caregivers by using existing school counselors across several school districts. The intervention is a 6-8 week caregiver-child intervention (THRIVE) which will be conducted via video conference in the family's home (i.e., zoom), or within the school setting (or a combination of those 2 modalities depending upon feasibility for the family). THRIVE will be compared to an asynchronous on-line parenting education program, Parenting Wisely (PW). This online parenting course will be accessed at www.parentingwisely.com. Existing school counselors will be trained in the delivery of THRIVE to 3-7 year old children (in preschool, kindergarten and first grade) and their primary caregivers. In addition to testing the effectiveness of THRIVE compared to PW, we will also compare two implementation strategies: THRIVE-Coached and THRIVE-Low Coached (LC). We will assess ongoing coaching of THRIVE trainees to increase therapist efficacy and adherence to the intervention (THRIVE-Coached). This will be compared to implementation of THRIVE with low supports (e.g. weekly supervision) provided only for the first case following the initial training (THRIVE-LC]. Compared to those randomized to PW, we expect children who receive THRIVE will have significantly better behavioral and socio-emotional outcomes. Caregivers who receive THRIVE will experience less parenting stress and depression, more optimism and will show more nurturing, emotional tolerance, and supportive caregiving. Therapists in the THRIVE-Coached condition will deliver the intervention with higher achieved outcomes and find the intervention to be more acceptable than therapists in the THRIVE-LC condition. Therapists in the THRIVE-Coached condition will be more likely to plan to sustain the intervention following the completion of the study than those in the THRIVE-LC condition. Parents and children receiving THRIVE from therapists in the THRIVE-Coached condition will have better socio-emotional outcomes than those in the THRIVE-LC and PW conditions.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if there is a difference in pain after an arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery when a nerve block is performed with liposomal bupivacaine versus the standard treatment of bupivacaine alone. The main question aims to answer if patients who receive liposomal bupivacaine have better pain control and lower postoperative opioid consumption compared to bupivacaine alone. Participants be randomized to either the control group to receive a standard interscalene block with bupivacaine (25 cc of bupivacaine) or the experimental group to receive similar dosing of liposomal bupivacaine mixed with bupivacaine (10cc liposomal bupivacaine + 15cc bupivacaine). Data will be prospectively collected and the data from the experimental group will be compared to the control group at the completion of the study period.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an adapted, telehealth functional behavioral therapy (FBTsIDD) specifically focused on promoting appropriate communication and behavioral strategies in individuals with syndromic intellectual and developmental disorders. Participants will be asked to complete virtual study assessments at intake and then on a monthly basis for the duration of 3-6 months. In addition, participants will attend weekly or biweekly virtual intervention visits with a study therapist.
The purpose of this study is to assess how well a new scoring system called the 5-SENSE score can predict where seizures start in the brain using Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). The 5-SENSE Score is a 5-point score based on routine presurgical work-up, designed to assist in predicting whether SEEG can identify a focal seizure onset zone, thereby sparing patients the risk of undergoing this invasive diagnostic procedure.
The primary objective of this quality improvement intervention is to test the efficacy of excessive fresh gas flow alerting in the electronic medical record for anesthesia providers.
The investigators are evaluating the therapeutic outcomes of two cleaning instruments on treating peri-implant mucositis. Peri-implant mucositis is inflammation around an implant that is limited to only the gum tissue and is characterized by bleeding on probing, pus, and without any evidence of bone loss. The investigators wish to compare the amount of inflammation and bacteria through measurements (like probing depth) and by collecting fluid and plaque samples around participants' implant after using one of the two cleaning instruments.
The objective of this study is to collect data for the development and validation a screening process using aggregate data. In this study, data collection will encompass both retrospective and prospective approaches across multiple sites in the United States.
The purpose of this prospective research study is to evaluate the effects of preoperative pain threshold using a pressure algometer and its effects on postoperative patient satisfaction, return to work, and opioid consumption following Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA). Participants will have their pain threshold measured at the preoperative visit. Postoperatively, they will be followed for 3 months and complete a pain journal for 2 weeks, record their medications consumed, and complete surveys at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months. The study team will rely on the completion of the questionnaires, opioid consumption journal, and surveys to establish a correlation between pre-operative pain threshold and post-operative outcome.
The goal of this implementation study is to support an evidence-based intervention to the improve colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and diagnostic colonoscopy rates in rural Indiana. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - How does the implementation of an evidence based intervention to increase CRC screening in rural Indiana improve CRC screening and diagnostic colonoscopy rates, defined as completed screening episode? - Will dose and type of implementation strategies contribute to differences in contextual factors and readiness as well as different levels of implementation outcomes (reach and implementation) in rural clinic? - Will Contextual factors (innovation, recipient, inner and outer context) and implementation outcomes (reach, and implementation) vary with the levels of CRC screening and diagnostic colonoscopy following active implementation (effectiveness) and throughout maintenance compared to baseline (usual care)? - What is the cost and budget impact of the deployment of implementation strategies and processes for rural clinics and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of implementing and sustaining the CRC screening intervention? Approach: Participating clinics tasks consist of mailing FIT kits, sending text messages, phone reminders, and the use of a Patient Navigator to initiate a screening episode with eligible patients who are 45-75 (and have no colonoscopy in the last 10 years or FIT in the last 12 months) as identified from medical records.
