Regional Nerve Blocks to Improve Analgesia and Recovery in Older Adults Undergoing Spinal Fusion
NCT05461092
Recruiting
This initial study is a feasibility study for implementing thoracolumbar interfascial plane, or TLIP, blocks in older adults undergoing spinal fusion. TLIP blocks are done by using anesthesia. In this case, it will be done to either side of the back where surgery will be performed. This has been shown to decrease pain the patients have post-operatively in previous research. In this study, the investigators will examine recruitment rates, completion of assessments, dropout rate, gather patient fe... Read More

Measurement of Bladder Pressure With a Novel External Device (Cystomanometer) - Home Use
NCT04128709
Recruiting
The investigators have developed a novel pressure monitoring device that hooks to standard urinary catheters that are used by patients with a neurogenic bladder on daily clean intermittent catheterization. The device has already been demonstrated to be accurate compared to the gold standard in clinic urodynamics. This study will assess the patients and care givers ability and experience using the device in a home setting.

Role of Inflammation in Vascular Phenotype Associated with E-cigarette Use
NCT06489249
Recruiting
The use of electronic nicotine delivery systems, or e-cigarettes - colloquially referred to as "vaping" - in the United States has increased exponentially since their introduction to the US market in 2007. Prevalence of ever and current e-cigarette use is highest among teenagers and young adults with 16-28% of this population having reported vaping. While the majority of e-cigarette users are current tobacco smokers, 32.5% of current e-cigarette users are never- or former-smokers, representing a... Read More

Combining Radiation Therapy With Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck
NCT05721755
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares pembrolizumab with radiation therapy to pembrolizumab without radiation therapy (standard therapy) given after pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Pembrolizumab is a type of immunotherapy that stimulates the body's immune system to fight cancer cells. Pembrolizumab targets and blocks a protei... Read More

Patient-driven Management of BP in CKD
NCT05546099
Recruiting
The proposed research will evaluate if patients managing their blood pressure medications under the guidance of a clinical pharmacist works better to lower blood pressure than patients monitoring their blood pressure at home and the standard care. 60 Veterans with chronic kidney disease (CKD) will be included in the study. The study will further evaluate factors that may influence the Veteran to accept the self-management approach and what factors in the VHA healthcare system affect the implemen... Read More

Role of ET-1, Physical Activity, and Sedentary Behavior in Microvascular Dysfunction Following GDM
NCT06547619
Recruiting
Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at a 2-fold greater risk for the development of overt cardiovascular disease (CVD) following the effected pregnancy. While subsequent development of type II diabetes elevates this risk, prior GDM is an independent risk factor for CVD morbidity, particularly, within the first decade postpartum. GDM is associated with impaired endothelial function during pregnancy and decrements in macro- and microvascular function persist postpartum,... Read More

The overall goal of the DISCOVERY study is to better understand what factors contribute to changes in cognitive (i.e., thinking and memory) abilities in patients who experienced a stroke. The purpose of the study is to help doctors identify patients at risk for dementia (decline in memory, thinking and other mental abilities that significantly affects daily functioning) after their stroke so that future treatments may be developed to improve outcomes in stroke patients. For this study, a "stroke... Read More
