Feasibility of an ADAPTive Intervention to Improve Food Security and Maternal-Child Health
NCT06942598
Recruiting
Food insecurity affects up to 30% of pregnancies and leads to worse health in pregnant people and their children, including an increased risk of gestational diabetes, pre-term birth, and future cardiometabolic chronic conditions (e.g., type 2 diabetes and obesity). Interventions are being utilized to address food insecurity in clinical care settings, but patients differ in the support needed to reduce food insecurity and health systems have limited resources to invest in these interventions.

Cognitive Training and Neuroplasticity in Mild Cognitive Impairment: COGIT-2 Trial
NCT06601933
Recruiting
Effective, clinically meaningful treatments are lacking for patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which is associated with increased risk of transition to dementia. Cognitive training represents an important therapeutic strategy. In a previous study, crossword puzzles were found to be superior to computerized cognitive training on the primary cognitive outcome and function with decreased brain atrophy. Building on these findings, this study will evaluate and compare the impact of high d... Read More

Randomized Trial Comparing Immediate vs. Deferred Surgery for Symptomatic ERM
NCT05145491
Recruiting
Vitrectomy to remove an epiretinal membrane (ERM) is one of the most common procedures performed by retinal surgeons. Patients who present with significant macular changes on optical coherence tomography (OCT) but relatively good vision are often advised to defer surgery until vision declines to 20/40 or worse. However, it is unknown if delaying surgery, which allows the foveal architecture to remain compromised and potentially to deteriorate, results in worse visual acuity outcomes than if surg...
