Pivotal-Safety and Therapeutic Measures of tDCS in Patients With Refractory Focal Epilepsy
NCT04770337
Recruiting
This is a multiple site, randomized, double blinded parallel-group controlled study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of repeated, daily sessions with the STARSTIM device, which delivers transcranial cathodal direct current stimulation (tDCS). Subjects will be treated with STARTSTIM or sham device for 10 sessions over a 2-week period. The subjects will be followed for an additional 10 weeks post treatment. Quality of Life questionnaires and adverse even... Read More

Pilot Study for OCT Guided in Vivo Laser Capture Microdissection for Assessing the Prognosis of Barrett's Esophagus
NCT03830801
Recruiting
The investigators have developed a new technology, termed in-vivo laser capture microdissection (IVLCM), that addresses the limitations of endoscopic biopsy for screening for BE and provides targeted genomic profiling of aberrant tissue for more precise prediction of EAC risk. The device is a tethered capsule endomicroscope (TCE) that implements optical coherence tomography (OCT) to grab 10-mm-resolution, cross-sectional microscopic images of the entire esophagus after the capsule is swallowed....

Dead Space and Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
NCT06690801
Recruiting
The goal of this observational study is to determine whether a marker of dead space (the end-tidal to alveolar dead space fraction \[AVDSf\]) is more strongly associated with mortality risk than markers of oxygenation abnormality (oxygenation index) and to determine whether dead space (AVDSf) is an important marker of heterogeneity in the inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) treatment effect for children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The study aims are: 1. To validate AVDSf for risk s... Read More

Measuring Brain Complexity to Detect and Predict Recovery of Consciousness in the ICU
NCT06568536
Recruiting
Disorders of consciousness (DoC) caused by severe brain injury affect millions of people worldwide each year. A patient's level of consciousness in the intensive care unit (ICU) significantly impacts the recovery from disability and is a primary determinant of family decisions about withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST). However, reliable assessment of consciousness in the ICU remains elusive. Transcranial magnetic stimulation-electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) is a tool that has shown the... Read More

Transition to Cardiac Rehabilitation (T2CR) to Address Barriers of Multimorbidity and Frailty
NCT06244199
Recruiting
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a secondary prevention program for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is especially valuable as CVD increasingly occurs in combination with comorbidity, frailty, and complexities of care that predispose patients to functional decline, disability, and high costs. Still, few Veterans participate in CR, in part because of the difficult logistics to attend. Promising Practice home-based CR (HBCR) was developed to increase CR participation, but many Veterans...
