Therapy Dog Visits for Patients Hospitalized With Traumatic Injuries
Recruiting
Animal assisted therapy (AAT) with dogs has been shown to be beneficial for a wide range of patients with both acute and chronic illnesses, including spinal cord injuries, heart failure, myocardial infarctions, strokes, cancer, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. Studies have also demonstrated that even in healthy adults, the presence of dogs is associated with physiologic changes such as increased pain threshold, decreased blood pressure, and decreased heart rate. However, few studi... Read More

Semaglutide for Helping Opioid Recovery
Recruiting
The is a pilot, 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial of individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) newly initiating buprenorphine to receive either weekly injections of semaglutide (n=23) or matching placebo (n=23). The primary aim is to determine the effects of semaglutide on cue-reactivity among individuals with OUD. The secondary aim is to assess the preliminary efficacy, safety, and tolerability of semaglutide for OUD.

The STOP-MED CTRCD Trial
Recruiting
Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) is when the heart's ability to pump oxygenated blood to the body is compromised. It is a side effect of cancer therapy which can occur as commonly as in 1 in 5 patients. When this occurs, heart failure medications are started to protect the heart from progressing to heart failure. With early detection and treatment, heart function recovers to normal in \>80% of patients. Unfortunately, heart failure medications are associated with an undesirable... Read More
