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 is designed to evaluate the performance of the Verily Watch Cardio for recording electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmography (PPG) signals and detecting suspected atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes, in a free-living environment, in participants at risk for having an AF event.
The goal of this study is to test a volume-stable collagen matrix in combination with recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB, specifically in patients who have an immediate implant placement for teeth #5-#12. The main question this study aims to answer is does the recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB accelerate the formation of blood vessels and augment tissue volume around the immediate implant. Participants will be asked to undergo immediate implant placement using volume-stable collagen matrix in combination with recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB, as well as attend 11 study visits over the course of 1.25 years.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy [KAP] on individuals with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD]. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does KAP improve symptoms of PTSD? 2. What changes in brain network connectivity are seen with KAP?
After rehabilitation completion, there remains large deficiencies between the operative (OP) and non-operative (NOP) limbs in lower-limb outcomes (e.g., size, strength, and function) and these deficits can persist for years. Therefore, further specialized training protocols, such as the ones in the present study, are required to determine if these deficits can be lessened. The proposed project will evaluate the effect of 8-weeks of single-leg and double-leg lower-body resistance training on musculoskeletal function in individuals with a previous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) in a randomized control trial. The study will recruit 30-40 males and females between 18-35 years of age that have undergone a previous ACLR. Participants will be randomized to either the single-leg/unilateral (UL) or double-leg/bilateral (BL) training groups. Training will occur three times per week for 8-weeks. The UL group will participate in exercises such as split squats, single-leg deadlifts, or single-leg squats. The BL group will utilize exercises such as double-leg squats, conventional deadlifts, and leg presses. One week prior to (PRE) and one week after (POST) the training program, all participants will undergo a testing battery. Musculoskeletal ultrasound will measure quadriceps and hamstrings muscle cross-sectional area (mCSA), fascicle length (FL), and pennation angle (PA) of both OP and NOP limbs. Strength will be assessed through maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) for the quadriceps and hamstrings, and one-repetition maximum tests for single-leg leg extensions, leg curls, and leg press. Lower-limb function will be assessed through single-leg and double-leg jumps on a dual force plate system for jump height, impulse, rate of force development, and peak force. Data will be analyzed via separate mixed-factorial analyses of variance for the within-subjects factor of leg (OP vs. NOP) and time (PRE vs. POST) and the between-subjects factor of biological sex (male vs. female) and group (UL vs. BL). Post-hoc analyses will include lower-order ANOVAs and t-tests as pairwise comparisons when significance is detected. Significance will be established at p≤0.05. The results of this study will assist practitioners, coaches, sport scientists, and most importantly, the athletes, in the development of post-rehabilitative strength training protocols designed to reduce between-limb discrepancies.
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand if and how an animal-assisted intervention [AAI] using therapy dogs can support hemodialysis [HD] patients' treatment adherence and enhance their well-being. The main objectives are: - Objective 1: Determine if the AAI impacts patients' HD treatment adherence (primary outcome is number of unplanned missed treatments no due to hospitalization). - Objective 2: Evaluate if the AAI impacts patients' psychosocial well-being (secondary outcomes are stress, pain, mood, QOL). - Objective 3: Examine potential mechanistic biomarkers that underpin human-animal bonding (hormones tied to stress and bonding). (exploratory aim) - Objective 4: Understand patients' subjective experiences of the AAI. Participants will be asked to engage in several research tasks, including: - assessments - therapy dog visits - monthly blood draws - focus group Researchers will compare how the treatment group (those who receive 2 dogs visits per week) and the control group (those who receive 0 dog visits per week) to see if the AAI impacts treatment adherence and psychosocial well-being.
This study is meant primarily collect CardioPulmonary Management (CPM) data from daily usage and compare it to the clinical course of a patient. For this study, the only aspect of the CPM solution that will be used will be the device itself and the mobile application to assign devices to patients. The patients will be assigned a device at visit one and take the device home. They will use the device once daily (when they first wake up) for 6 months. The patient will come in for visit 2 to return the device.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate how personality traits and neuroendocrine systems relate to decision-making patterns in individuals 18-45 years old. The main question it aims to answer is how neuroendocrine activity impacts decision-making. This study has two components. First, there will be an online session that participants complete to consent into the study, complete self-report surveys and a cognitive assessment, and confirm their eligibility for the second part of the study. If eligible to continue, participants will complete one in-person experiment session, during which they will complete self-report measures and a decision-making task. During the in-person session, participants will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to ingest either a placebo (non-active) or the combination of hydrocortisone and yohimbine.
This is a Phase I open labelled study to treat patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer with combination therapy using standard of care first line therapy with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel given days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days, and proglumide. This is a phase 1 study with 3+3 design, enrolling3-12 patients over 2 planned dose levels of proglumide(maximum 6 patients per dose level). Proglumide will be tested at the daily dose of 1200 mg orally (PO) given as 400mg three times daily (TID) (dose level 1) or 1600 mg orally(PO) given as 800 mg twice a day (BID) (dose level 2). All cycles are 28 days. Patients will be monitored for safety and toxicity by laboratory blood testing and physical examinations.
This case-crossover study evaluates the association between vaping and seizures in patients of a large academic medical center who admits to vaping and hav a planned ambulatory EEG ordered.
