A Prospective Analysis of Long-Term Clinical Outcomes and 3D Spine Growth in Anterior Vertebral Body Tethering
NCT04914507
Recruiting
Anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) is a novel, minimally invasive, growth modulation technique that was recently approved by the FDA under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE). The goal of AVBT is to control curve progression by applying compression on the convex side of the spine deformity. While there has been great initial enthusiasm about the technique as an alternate treatment option to spinal fusion for skeletally immature children with scoliosis, there is a need to better understan...

Dose of Vestibular Rehabilitation for Vestibular Hypofunction
NCT04851184
Recruiting
The purposes of this research are to 1) utilize virtual reality (VR) to evaluate the exercise dose required to improve symptoms in those with vestibular (dizziness) disorders, 2) compare VR vestibular exercises to standard exercises, and 3) compare exercise performance outcomes to healthy controls without vestibular disorders. Even though more than 35% of those over 40, and \~50% of those who have had concussion have such symptoms, the dose of specific exercises targeted to improve symptoms is n... Read More

The Selfie Study- Assessing Novel Markers for Cervical Cancer Screening From Self-collected Samples
NCT04423679
Recruiting
Cervical cancer is primarily caused by Human Papillomaviruses (HPV). Testing for HPV in cervical samples is now an option for cervical cancer screening. HPV can also be tested from self-collected samples which may help to improve access to screening, since it does not require a doctor visit. However, many women will test positive for HPV who are not at high risk for cervical cancer. Therefore, additional ("triage") tests are needed to determine which women testing HPV-positive require additional... Read More
