This trial studies how well dyadic yoga intervention works in improving physical performance and quality of life in patients with stage I-IV non-small cell lung or esophageal cancer undergoing radiotherapy and their caregivers. Dyadic yoga intervention may help to improve physical function, fatigue, sleep difficulties, depressive symptoms, and overall quality of life for patients with non-small cell lung cancer and/or their caregivers.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether IMPRINT in combination with pembrolizumab is a safe treatment for people with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM).The highest dose of IMPRINT that causes few or mild side effects when given in combination with pembrolizumab will be found. Once the highest safe dose of IMPRINT is found, it will be tested in combination with pembrolizumab in future participants to see whether the combination may be an effective treatment for MPM.

To examine the effects of haloperidol, chlorpromazine, valproic acid and placebo, in conjunction with standardized non-pharmacologic interventions, in the first line treatment of agitated delirium in hospitalized patients with cancer. This double-blind, randomized clinical trial aims to provide evidence on various therapeutic options for palliating delirium, thereby reducing delirium-related distress and ultimately alleviating suffering.

The purpose of this research study is to gather more information on how eye injury is related to a baby's future development and see if eye function and brain test results can be used, along with current measures, to better diagnose and treat babies with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Participants will undergo up to two eye exam sessions, involving both Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) and Electroretinogram (ERG) exams. Read Less

This is a prospective observational study collecting long-term clinical data and samples for research in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with gut inflammation and a control cohort of pediatric patients with disorders of the brain-gut interactions (DBGI) with no detectable gut inflammation.

This research will compare the effectiveness of a remotely delivered personalized exercise coaching plus an evidence-based sleep improvement intervention to remotely delivered personalized exercise coaching alone for knee osteoarthritis pain. The study team hypothesize that the combined intervention will result in greater improvements in patient-reported pain intensity, recorded with real-time data capture, than remotely delivered exercise coaching alone.

Genicular Artery Embolization for Reducing Pain in Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: A Pilot Randomized Sham-Controlled Study (SHAM-PAIN) is a NIH-NIAMS funded project designed to assess enrollment feasibility and detect any differences between GAE and a similar sham intervention in reducing KOA-related pain at 3 months as measured by the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) pain subscore. Additionally, this study aims to determine the magnitude of difference in pain response between GAE and sham to adequately power a larger, more definitive randomized sham-controlled trial (RCT). The influence of psychosocial and psychocognitive factors, changes in analgesic use, and conditions of knee joint cartilage and effusion will similarly be explored to determine their impacts on perceived pain response to GAE.

The purpose of this research is to determine if two non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, muscle stimulation of the arm and neuro-stimulation through the tongue, can increase the extent of stroke recovery. Read Less

The purpose of this research is to compare two different approaches for treating patients with achilles tendinopathy: eccentric exercise, stretching and manual therapy VS Electric dry needling, eccentric exercise, stretching and manual therapy. Physical therapists commonly use all of these techniques to treat achilles tendinopathy. This study is attempting to find out if one treatment strategy is more effective than the other. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to translate and tailor for Latinx participants a program called Communicating with Oncology Nurses about Values from the Outset (CONVO). In CONVO, routine cancer care for each participant includes a discussion between the nurse and participant about the participant's health-related values. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the challenges with breast cancer diagnosis in Tanzania and the support available to improve this process. Read Less

This clinical trial evaluates the impact of a culturally tailored educational video on the perceptions of lung cancer and lung cancer screening in vulnerable communities. Lung cancer is the most common cancer type. African-American communities have a higher rate than any other racial or ethnic group in the United States and accounts for the highest number of deaths among African-Americans. Lung cancer is in the top three causes of cancer death among Asian men and women. Research has shown that low-income, minority and immigrant individuals may be under resourced to make decisions about prevention programs and early detection measures for lung cancer. A culturally tailored educational video may be an effective method to help people learn about lung cancer, susceptibility toward lung cancer and lung cancer screening. This may increase lung cancer screening in vulnerable communities. Read Less
