Austin, TX Paid Clinical Trials

The goal of this interventional study is to compare if the use of a brain-machine interface (BCI) therapy can improve the symptoms of attentional deficit by producing brain changes in the networks that modulate attention. The investigators intend to work with epileptic participants who do not respond to pharmacological treatment, who will undergo neurosurgery. The questions the study sets out to answer are: 1. is there an improvement of symptoms in an experimental group receiving the treatment versus a sham group receiving a simulation of the treatment? 2. does the application of the therapy before surgery reduce the recovery times of post-surgery cognitive deficits described in the literature? Making use of the information recorded from brain electrodes implanted before a participant's epilepsy surgery, the investigators will create a BCI decoder that works with the available activity sources to establish the level of attention of each participant when performing tasks. Participants: * will perform an offline phase first, which will consist of one day of evaluation, in which they will be familiarized with an attentional task. * will perform a training phase later, which will consist of several days of evaluation, where they will learn to modulate their level of attention. This modulation will be facilitated by the BCI decoder, which will classify the level of attention directly from the brain and provide visual feedback that the participant will use as a guide. If the participant is part of the experimental group (or BCI group), the feedback will work as described and should be easy to follow, but if the participant is part of the Sham group, the feedback will not work according to the brain activity of the actual participant, but according to that of another person. Because of this, a mismatch will be created between the moments a brain experiences inattention, and participants believe they are experiencing inattention. This is a randomized, double-blind study, in which the experimenters will evaluate how the effect of the attentional therapy with BCI affects an BCI group and a Sham group. Read Less

The primary purpose of the study is to investigate safety and tolerability following single and multiple ascending subcutaneous (SC) and intramuscular (IM) doses of capsid inhibitors in healthy participants. The study will also describe the pharmacokinetics following single and multiple ascending SC and IM doses of capsid inhibitors in healthy participants. Read Less

This is a safety and efficacy trial for a Slow Wave, Inc. UASD oral appliance for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This trial will recruit 60-80 participants through our IRB partner. Each participant will take pre-trial and post trail sleep studies and be measured before, throughout and after the trial for Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI), pulse rate to determine level of sleep improvement while wearing the device. Safety will also be measured through survey, dental exams and adverse events monitoring. Patients will wear an O2 monitoring ring throughout the study and upload results daily. Primary Objectives will evaluate AHI and ODI between sleep studies. Secondary outcomes will compare the daily ring data to these two sleep studies to evaluate changes over time. Patients will have the opportunity to complete daily diaries on their sleep experiences. Read Less

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of a single, acute dose of BNC210 compared to placebo on reducing the severity of anxiety provoked by a behavioral assessment task and measured using the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) in adult patients with social anxiety disorder.

This research trial studies biomarkers in tumor tissue samples from patients with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma. Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. Read Less

A clinical study that will meaure how well SEP-363856 works and how safe it is in adults with Generalized Anixety Disorder. This study will be accepting both male and female subjects between the ages of 18 years and 65 years old. The study will be held in Approximately 50 global study centers and approximately 15 additional centers for a separate Japan population. Participation in the study can be up to approximately 12 weeks. Read Less

The goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate a method involving 4 blood tests called CA-125, HE4, HE4 antigen autoantibody complexes, and osteopontin that may be helpful in the early detection of ovarian cancer in women who are at low risk. Read Less

Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs) are a newer class of evidence-based interventions for young autistic children to promote their positive developmental or behavioral outcomes. These are often delivered by family members or other natural change agents given the emphasis on naturalistic transactions between an adult and a child. Despite the emerging evidence, there are practical difficulties that hinder wider dissemination and implementation of NDBIs, including low level of access to some of these branded, packaged NDBIs. To mitigate these difficulties related to access, we have created a series of video modules that demonstrate nine commonly used core components in NDBI strategies. In this study, caregivers will receive training and coaching using these modules and both synchronous and asynchronous coaching from a clinician. In this type 1 hybrid implementation trial, there are two groups of participants: (1) caregivers of young autistic children or children with other developmental disabilities/delays, (2) children, and (3) clinicians. Caregivers will meet with clinicians virtually weekly to (a) watch the newly developed NDBI videos that demonstrate the strategy use, (b) discuss how this might be applied to their own child, (c) receive individualized homework planning, (d) record and upload videos of their practice of strategy use with their own child, and (e) review the videos with clinicians to receive individualized feedback on their strategy use. This will occur for 10 weeks. Each session will be video recorded to assess the clinicians' intervention fidelity. After 10 weeks, pre-post tests will be conducted to assess parents' confidence on implementing these strategies, their child's social communication, and satisfaction of providers and caregivers. Qualitative data will also be collected via interviews with some selected participants to gain a deeper understanding of their perceptions. Read Less
