This study tests a school-based program that empowers middle school students to improve their physical activity and healthy eating. The goal is to reduce risk factors for heart disease, like obesity and high blood pressure. About 500 students from schools with many low-income and…

This study looks at a program called Healthy School Recognized Campus, which helps schools in Texas offer more physical activity and nutrition programs. About 900 students in grades 4 through 9 will take part to see if the program improves their health, like body mass index and f…

This study tests whether a new therapy that combines cognitive processing therapy (for PTSD) with relapse prevention (for alcohol use) works better than relapse prevention alone. Researchers will enroll 200 adults with both PTSD and alcohol use disorder. The goal is to reduce dri…

This study tests whether playing a virtual reality walking game can reduce nerve pain in adults with incomplete spinal cord injury. About 48 participants with daily pain of at least 4 out of 10 for 3 months or more will try the VR therapy. Researchers will measure changes in pain…

This study tests whether playing a virtual reality walking game can reduce nerve pain in adults with chronic spinal cord injury. Researchers will enroll 250 people with complete spinal cord injuries who have had daily pain of at least 4 out of 10 for three months or more. Partici…

This study tests whether a custom mouthpiece can improve sleep quality in pregnant women who snore. Snoring during pregnancy is linked to higher risks for the mother and baby. The mouthpiece works by opening the airway. Twenty pregnant women who snore will use the device at home,…

This study follows 600 adults living in two different neighborhoods in Texas to see if living in an 'agrihood' (a community with farms and gardens) leads to healthier eating, more physical activity, and better heart health compared to a regular neighborhood. Researchers will meas…

This study collects genetic and health information from 3,000 people to help doctors choose the safest and most effective medications. Participants include those taking multiple medications or specific drugs for blood pressure or depression. The goal is to reduce side effects and…

This study tests a wearable device that measures insulin levels from sweat and skin fluid, avoiding the need for blood draws. Researchers aim to see if this noninvasive method can help people understand how their body responds to different foods. The study involves 32 adults in t…

This study looks at how a person's genes affect their risk of side effects from taking multiple medications. Researchers will test 50 adults aged 45 and older who take 5 or more drugs. The goal is to use genetic information to help doctors choose safer prescriptions and reduce ho…

This study looks at how plant-based and whey (dairy) proteins affect muscle building in older adults, especially those with muscle loss (sarcopenia). Researchers will use special tracers to track how the body uses amino acids from each protein. The goal is to find the best protei…

This study looks at how aging changes the way your body uses energy and how your physical and mental abilities may decline. Researchers will track 100 healthy adults of different ages to build a clearer picture of what healthy aging looks like. The goal is to better understand wh…

This study looks at how well beef and soy protein help older adults (ages 65-95) build muscle, especially those who are frail or at risk. Researchers will use a new technique to measure how the body uses protein from each source. The goal is to understand which protein type is be…

This study looks at how aging affects the way the body uses protein after eating. Researchers will give stable isotopes (safe tracers) to 50 adults aged 60-80 and measure protein building and breakdown. The goal is to understand age-related changes in metabolism that may affect s…

This study looks at whether taking a daily mix of lutein, zeaxanthin, and fish oil for six months can improve thinking skills, eye health, and bone density in healthy adults. About 80 participants will take either the supplement or a placebo. The goal is to see if these nutrients…

This study looks at whether showing nutrition information on menus—especially through a digital app with augmented reality—helps customers choose healthier meals. About 240 adults dining at two Hispanic restaurants in Texas will try three menu types: a standard menu, a paper menu…
