Columbus, OH Paid Clinical Trials

This research is studying two surgical procedures in a large group of people to learn about how well these procedures work as a treatment for ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE). Researchers want to see which surgery is more helpful for people with ulnar neuropathy. This research will determine if one surgery is better than the other to alleviate symptoms. Read Less

This is a single center prospective self-control study to validate the effectiveness of left uterine displacement after subarachnoid block (SAB) with simultaneous measurements of blood pressure (BP) on the arm and left ankle during surgery in patients undergoing cesarean delivery (CD) at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of combining IV ketamine, a rapid acting antidepressant, with a course of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), for the initial and maintenance treatment of depression. Read Less

Sleep deprivation is a major problem in military populations. Some major consequences of sleep loss are inability to concentrate, poor work efficiency, and increase in errors during daily tasks. There is some evidence that ketone ester supplements may lessen the adverse effects of sleep restriction. The main purpose of these supplements is to raise your blood concentration of ketones, which are safe, small molecules that appear in the blood during fasting, when following a ketogenic diet, or consuming ketone supplements. The main purpose of this study is to examine if ingesting a ketone ester supplement, twice daily, can improve cognitive and physical performance during short-term sleep restriction. Read Less

Prospective, qualitative interview study to explore factors associated with pediatric day of surgery cancellations (DOSC) from the prospective of parents with hopes the interviews will reveal additional vulnerabilities not included in COI 2.0 that predispose to DOSC. Read Less

The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of MACI® vs arthroscopic microfracture in the treatment of patients aged 10 to 17 years with symptomatic articular chondral or osteochondral defects of the knee. Read Less

This is a patient research registry aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a comprehensive, root-cause medical approach ("AndHealth program") for autoimmune disorders. This approach involves a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies offered under the care of a licensed physician with the support of health coaches. While protocol guidance is provided, the therapeutic approach is personalized to the individual needs of patients. The autoimmune disorders of focus in this registry include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis. A variety of validated labs, patient-reported outcomes, and medication usage will be assessed among participating patients over a period of up to five years to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of this approach.

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether use of the PulsePoint system increases bystander CPR or defibrillator use compared to standard dispatch procedures in patients who suffer non-traumatic, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in a public location. Half of all suspected cardiac arrest 9-1-1 calls in a public location will receive PulsePoint alerts (treatment arm). The other half of this eligible patient cohort will receive standard dispatch procedures (control arm). Read Less

About 13% of US adults, some 30 million people, suffer from nasal sinus disease. Although nasal obstruction and smell loss are two of the major symptoms of the disease that are crucial to disease management, currently there is a lack of clinical tools to effectively evaluate the mechanisms contributing to these symptoms. The proposed study aims to develop novel clinical tools to better evaluate and relieve patients' nasal obstructive symptoms and to enable patients and clinicians to make more informed, personalized decisions regarding treatment strategy.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether inclusion of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for Uncertainty-Enhanced (CUE) with Lethal Means Counseling (LMC) is acceptable, feasible, and efficacious in addressing secure firearm storage and associated psychological constructs in active duty servicemembers. The clinical trial aims to: Assess the preliminary efficacy of a LMC intervention, augmented with CUE, on firearm storage practices Examine mechanisms through which CUE and LMC increase firearm storage practices Assess credibility and acceptability of LMC Participants will complete: One baseline visit Two intervention sessions-CUE and LMC Six brief surveys per day for 28 days using a mobile application One mid-point survey and five follow-up surveys Read Less

The goal of the Tiny Baby Collaborative Multicenter Inventory of Neonatal-Perinatal Interventions (MINI) minimum dataset is to serve as a registry detailing the outcomes and practices for all deliveries and infants admitted to intensive care at 22-23 weeks' gestation at participating hospitals.

The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of speech-language intervention children with language impairment need to make vocabulary gains. The investigators hope to identify the optimal amount of intervention needed as well as the point at which adding more intervention is no longer beneficial. Participants will be randomly assigned (like a flip of a coin) to attend therapy either one time a week for 10 weeks (2 hours a session) or 4 times a week for 10 weeks (30 min per session). Each therapy session will follow a word learning intervention that is designed to increase children's word learning abilities using rich, robust word learning strategies within story book readings. The optimal amount of intervention relates to duration, dose, and frequency. Duration refers to how long the child is seen for (e.g., 10 weeks, 1 year). Dose represents the number of exposures to each new vocabulary word within a therapy session. Frequency represents the number of therapy sessions per week. The investigators will test the hypothesis that distributed learning leads to higher gains. The investigators propose that the greatest gains will be observed for children who receive high-frequency/low-dose or low-frequency/high-dose treatments as compared to children who receive high-frequency/high-dose or low-frequency/low-dose treatments. The investigators will test the hypothesis that for both low-frequency and high-frequency treatments, there is a point at which increases in treatment dose do not correspond to any additional gains in children's vocabulary skills during treatment. At the close of this four-year study, evidence concerning optimal treatment intensity of a word learning intervention will be instrumental for immediately informing speech-language pathologists in how much vocabulary treatment to prescribe as well as for designing additional clinical trials by our and other research teams.
