R-2487 in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
NCT05961592
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of orally taken probiotic (R-2487) in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Patients will take an oral dosage of probiotic (R-2487) and physicians will assess and measure their Rheumatoid Arthritis. Blood and fecal evaluations of inflammation and assessment of probiotic (R-2487) on fecal level will also be measured.

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

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

NCT06411158
Recruiting
This is a multi-center, randomized single-blind nonsurgical trial conducted in approximately 216 primiparous postpartum women at high risk for prolonged/sustained pelvic floor disorders with symptomatic, bothersome urinary incontinence (UI) amenable to nonsurgical treatment. TULIP is a 3-Arm trial with two active interventions (Arms 1 and 2) and a Patient Education control arm (Arm 3). Arm 1 consists of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). Arm 2 uses a home biofeedback device (leva®). The prim... Read More

The Neuralert Stroke Monitor Pilot Trial
NCT06368193
Recruiting
This trial aims to demonstrate that the Neuralert Monitoring System will detect strokes before they would be identified by current standard of care. Each patient will be monitored for up to five days, depending on device connectivity or battery duration. Each monitoring session will consist of wearing a Neuralert device on each arm. For this pilot trial, we are interested in learning about Wi-Fi connectivity, successful data transmission, integration into clinical workflow, usability and tolerab... 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...

Sildenafil for Microvasculopathy in Chronic TBI
NCT05782244
Recruiting
Traumatic Cerebral Vascular Injury (TCVI) is a common consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI), including mild TBI (mTBI). TCVI is associated with poor recovery after TBI in animal models. TCVI can be measured non-invasively in humans, and therapies targeting TCVI are attractive candidates to ameliorate the consequences of TBI. Sildenafil potentiates nitric oxide (NO) dependent vasodilatation and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of erectile dysfunction a... Read More
