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 purpose of this study is to develop and test CarePair, a web-based needs assessment and service referral platform for family caregivers of persons with dementia designed to alleviate stress and promote psychosocial well being. The main aims of this study are: - To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the CarePair web application. - To explore the potential for the CarePair web-application to reduce feelings of depression and burden, and improve caregivers' feelings of self-efficacy. Caregiver participants will be asked to log in and test the CarePair web application and complete study activities for a three-month duration. Researchers will compare the intervention group to an attention control comparator to see if application use is associated with improved psychosocial outcomes at follow-up.
This randomized controlled trial will test the efficacy and safety of automated insulin delivery (AID) in hospitalized patients with diabetes (type 1 or type 2) requiring insulin therapy who are admitted to general medical/surgical floors. The main objectives of this study are: - To test the efficacy and safety of AID versus multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) + CGM in the inpatient setting - To determine differences in CGM-derived metrics between AID and MDI plus CGM in the hospital and explore differences in treatment effect according to individual characteristics. Participants will be: - Randomized to AID + remote CGM (intervention) or multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) + CGM (control group) - Followed for a total of 10 days or until hospital discharge (if less than 10 days).
This clinical trial is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of Clofazimine Inhalation Suspension versus placebo when added to Guideline-based therapy (GBT).
Several studies have shown that adding dexmedetomidine or epinephrine to single-dose spinal analgesia preparations improves the length and/or speed of onset of the sensory block and post-operative pain management without increased negative side effects. To date, however, no study has compared adjunctive intrathecal dexmedetomidine to adjunctive intrathecal epinephrine in single-dose spinal analgesia. The purpose of this study is to determine if adjunctive intrathecal dexmedetomidine is non-inferior to adjunctive intrathecal epinephrine in providing better single-dose spinal analgesia during cesarean section.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, drug levels, food effects and relative bioavailability of BMS-986365 in healthy male participants.
This is a Phase II, single cohort study designed to evaluate outcomes in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) with variant histology who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with or without immunotherapy (IO) followed by trimodal therapy (TMT). Enrolled patients will undergo at least 3 cycles of NAC +/- IO (oncologist's choice) followed by a four- or six-week course of concurrent standard of care chemotherapy and radiation therapy. These patients will be compared with historical controls of patients with a diagnosis of pure urothelial carcinoma who have undergone TMT. This study has been designed to test the hypothesis that variant histology TMT can be delivered within 45 days of NAC +/- IO and is therefore a viable option in patients who are risk of systemic disease spread.
Pessaries are effective non-surgical devices for reduction of prolapse. However, use of pessaries are limited in some women due to patient discomfort. While lidocaine can be used to improve pessary checks, its use may be limited due to supply chain shortages, lack of insurance coverage, and optimization of resource utilization. More techniques to improve pessary examination comfort are needed. Perineal massage prior to delivery and at the time of active labor has been noted to reduce perineal trauma and perineal discomfort, theoretically by desensitizing the nerve endings in the skin, broadening the vaginal opening, and increasing elasticity of the perineal tissue. Since most discomfort with pessary checks is during removal and insertion through the vaginal introitus, perineal massage may be a beneficial technique that women could potentially learn to improve comfort with pessary checks. The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of perineal massage prior to pessary check in improving comfort of pessary checks for patients using a cross-over randomized controlled trial. Patients who follow up for pessary checks with the division of Urogynecology at UNC will be approached about participating in this study. The study will involve two clinical visits. At the first visit, the patient will be randomized to 2 minutes of perineal massage with water based gel of the external perineum and sides of the vaginal vestibule, as well as internal massage with the thumb, gliding from 4 to 8 o'clock, then tissue stretching technique with one intracavitary finger and other external finger at the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions three times; versus application of gel to the internal vagina and external vagina without massage. Providers will be blinded to randomization and proceed with pessary check as per normal clinical protocols. Patients will rate self-reported pain before, during pessary check, and after the pessary check on a VAS scale; and rate whether they would prefer to repeat this method at future visits via Likert scale. Healthcare professionals will also rate perceived patient pain on VAS scale; ease of pessary removal; and note any perineal or introital laceration or abrasion that may occur during the pessary fitting. At the following visit, patients will be assigned to the group to which they were not initially randomized. Patients and healthcare professionals will again rate pain as described above. Patients will also rank preference for perineal massage using PGI-I.
Adults who gain most of their excess weight in the abdominal area typically do not respond to factors that "turn on" fat cells the same way as people who don't have excessive weight. Researchers are trying to understand why fat tissue responds differently in people with different body types.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cytoreduction of bulky metastatic disease using ultra high dose SBRT in combination with immunotherapy is tolerable and feasible In patients who have exhausted SoC treatment options.
This study uses a hybrid Type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial to operationalize and assess the efficacy of the Health Enhancement Resource System (HERS) intervention. HERS aims to increase patient follow-up after abnormal test results through text message-based barriers counseling for women and supplemental telephone-based Health Coaching for women who miss their appointment.
