TRIAD Appendicitis Decision-making Surveys
NCT05887414
Recruiting
While appendectomy has been the main treatment of appendicitis for over 100 years, recent European studies found that, at least among highly selected patients, antibiotics alone can be an effective alternative. Surgeons and patients alike have a difficult time deciding if surgery or antibiotics are the best choice to treat appendicitis. The goal of the TRIAD is to evaluate the patients who are a part of the TRIAD implementation program and assess satisfaction and decisional regret for patients w... Read More

Natural History Study of and Genetic Modifiers in Spinocerebellar Ataxias
NCT01060371
Recruiting
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are genetic neurological diseases that cause imbalance, poor coordination, and speech difficulties. There are different kinds of SCA and this study will focus on types 1, 2,3, and 6 (SCA 1, SCA 2, SCA 3 , also known as Machado-Joseph disease and SCA 6). The diseases are rare, slowly progressive, cause increasingly severe neurological difficulties and are variable across and within genotypes. The purpose of this research study is to bring together a group of experts... Read More

Advance Provision of Postpartum Emergency Contraception and Its Effects on Reproductive Autonomy
NCT05285605
Recruiting
This study will entail provision of ulipristal acetate (UPA) for emergency contraception (EC) in the postpartum period for patients who have not chosen to initiate a highly effective form of contraception and study the use of EC overall as well as with regards to participants' perception of reproductive autonomy. The investigators hypothesize that providing an advance supply of EC will increase use and decrease barriers to use. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that, with thorough EC c... Read More

The Impact of a Seated Compact Elliptical Trainer on Individuals With Knee OA
NCT05857605
Recruiting
Exercise is considered the most effective, non-drug treatment for reducing pain and improving movement in patients with osteoarthritis. Diminished muscle strength is a common symptom associated with the onset of knee osteoarthritis. The evidence supports the benefit of exercise therapy, in reducing pain and improving function in subjects with knee OA, however research to date has been unable to quantify the disease-modifying effect of any form of exercise. The primary objective of this study is... Read More
