The investigators propose a prospective longitudinal registry study to collect and compare preoperative and postoperative information from patients who undergo total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Outcomes will be assessed with common, routinely available patient-reported outcomes mea…

This phase II trial studies how well software-aided imaging works in confirming tumor coverage with ablation (the removal or destruction of a body part or tissue or its function) on patients with liver tumors. The current standard for targeting tumor cells and evaluating the outc…

Hemifacial atrophy causes one side of the face to become smaller, leading to facial asymmetry. Surgeons often restore facial volume using either autologous fat grafting or free-flap reconstruction. However, it is not fully clear how much facial symmetry improves after surgery whe…

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and biomarkers play a key role in the diagnosis and personalized therapy of gastric cancer. These technologies provide a deep understanding of the molecular basis of the disease. NGS allows simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, identifying mut…

This study utilizes a multi-institutional registry to describe the natural history of medullary thyroid cancer that has spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) in understanding disease management. The goal of this …

The purpose of this feasibility study is to assess whether an alternative transvenous lead location affects respiration and airway physiology during a commercial remedē® System or commercial transvenous cardiac device (de novo pacemaker or implantable cardiac defibrillator) impla…

This study assesses neurocognitive outcomes after receiving radiation therapy to the brain (whole brain radiation therapy) in patients with blood cancers (hematologic malignancies). This may help researchers learn more about the effects of whole brain radiation therapy on memory …

This trial studies pelvic floor dysfunction and quality of life in uterine cancer survivors. Using questionnaires may help researchers learn more about the sexual function and quality of life in uterine cancer survivors.

This is a two phase study. In phase 1, a focus group (N=5) will be conducted to adapt MBCT-T for use in the study population. In phase 2, a single-arm trial will be conducted examining four, weekly sessions of preoperative MBCT-T in subjects with high pain catastrophizing schedul…

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how to improve treatment of patients with diarrhea predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-D) symptoms.Included patients will be requested to answer online surveys and will undergo treatment with rifaximin. Hydrogen breath testin…

The overall objective of this study is to determine the effect of posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) on children with constipation due to pelvic floor dyssynergia. Our main hypothesis is that PTNS effectively treats children with constipation secondary to pelvic floor dyss…

Finding new ways to diagnose and treat Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) could improve the health and well-being of patients with this condition. The main aim of this research study is to help develop better ways of diagnosing and treating patients with DCM. The information that is co…

This trial studies how well a peer-based health education program works in reducing barriers and changing attitudes and beliefs of prostate cancer genetic screening in African American participants with or without a previous personal or family history of prostate cancer. Particip…

This is a pilot research study to determine the feasibility of gentle yoga and breathing exercises for symptom management in patients with scleroderma. Participants will have a first study visit that includes completing demographic and quality-of-life surveys, learning the gentle…

The proposed study evaluates the effect of carbon fiber brace design on forces across the ankle joint. Research suggests that ankle arthritis develops after ankle fracture, in part, due to elevated forces on the cartilage. It is expected that carbon fiber braces can be designed t…

This is a multinational, multicenter, open-label, rater-blinded prospective Phase II study which will assess the safety and efficacy of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine (IB1001) for the treatment of Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T). There are two phases to this study: the Parent Study, and the Ext…

Cystic fibrosis pulmonary exacerbations (CF PEx) vary greatly in their severity, their pathogens, and their treatment responses. A failure to return to baseline lung function after treatment may be due to persistent infection or chronic inflammation or both. This constant infecti…

This completed clinical study evaluated whether a structured eccentric training program reduced pain and improved hand and wrist function in adults with medically diagnosed de Quervain's tendinopathy whose symptoms had persisted despite previous conservative treatment. The main …

Research into biomarkers predictive of survival and response to cancer treatment

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is thought to lead to systemic vascular lesions that may be preceded by early microvascular lesions in the eyes and in particular in the retina. The improvement of ophthalmological imaging techniques by OCTangiography allows a precise non-in…
