PET/MRI/EEG Imaging Study in Epilepsy
NCT06974305
Recruiting
This study aims to better understand how epilepsy alters brain function through neuroimaging of healthy people and people with epilepsy. The study investigates how changes in brain metabolism (sugar consumption, measured by positron emission tomography \[FDG-PET\], and blood flow, measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging \[fMRI\]) relate to abnormal interictal electrical activity associated with epilepsy (measured by electroencephalography \[EEG\]). The study will also compare how the t... Read More

Short-Term Linvoseltamab Treatment on Top of Chronic Dupilumab Treatment for Adults With Severe Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-Mediated Food Allergy
NCT06369467
Recruiting
This study is researching an experimental drug called linvoseltamab combined with another drug called dupilumab. The study is looking at patients who have severe IgE-mediated food allergy. If the patient has an allergy, the body's defense system (immune system) overreacts to an allergen (eg, certain foods like peanuts, milk, shellfish) by making antibodies called IgE. An antibody is a protein that allows the immune system to find and fight off things the body does not recognize (allergens). IgE... Read More

Resilient Families
NCT06239571
Recruiting
The goal is to develop, refine, and test the feasibility and acceptability of a dyadic, resiliency intervention ("Resilient Families;" R-FAM) that aims to reduce emotional distress and improve relationships among parents in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). To achieve this goal, my aims are three-fold: (1) develop R-FAM using stakeholder input from interviews with parent dyads and focus groups with NICU staff; (2) optimize R-FAM through an open pilot with pre/post assessments and exit int...

Project 4: Ambulatory Biofeedback and Voice Therapy for Patients With Vocal Hyperfunction
NCT05970562

Vocal hyperfunction (VH) is the most commonly treated class of voice disorders by speech-language pathologists and voice therapy is the primary curative treatment. Patients and clinicians report that generalizing improved voicing into daily life is the most significant barrier to successful therapy. We will test if extending biofeedback into the patient's daily life using ambulatory voice monitoring will significantly improve generalization during therapy and if individual patient factors, like...
