Cross-System Effects of Acute Intermittent Hypercapnia-Based Interventions in PD
Parkinsonism impairs upper airway and axial motor control, leading to disordered breathing, reduced speech volume, and ineffective cough. Symptoms are poorly addressed by current therapies. This randomized pilot trial tests whether a single session of acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia (AIHH) or hypercapnic normoxia (AIHN) improves upper airway and axial motor …
Impact of Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation on COGnitive and PSYchiatric Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease
With this study, the investigators want to investigate how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects various cognitive and psychiatric symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). In particular, they will examine whether stimulation of the left hemisphere has a different effect than stimulation of the right hemisphere on cognitive and psychiatric symptoms.
Assessing Molecular Mechanisms and Effects of Music Therapy in Youth With Sickle Cell Disease Using Single-cell RNA-sequencing
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a 4-week music therapy (MT) intervention can reduce chronic pain and improve psychosocial outcomes in youth with sickle cell disease (SCD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does MT reduce pain intensity, frequency of pain episodes, and improve …
Efficacy and Safety of SIL-8301 for Control of Hemolysis in a Uniform Sickle Cell Disease Endotype
SIL-8301 (senicapoc) is being developed for the chronic treatment of patients with sickle cell disease in both adults and children. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of senicapoc to placebo in patients with sickle cell disease that have had fewer than 2 acute sickle-related painful crises …
Cerebrovascular Reactivity Measurements With High-Density Diffuse Optical Tomography
The purpose of the study protocol is to identify imaging biomarkers for brain tissue under high metabolic stress at risk for permanent injury. We will measure oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in participants with and without perturbations in cerebral oxygen delivery over time to determine each parameter's …
Optimizing Hydroxyurea Dosage With Pharmakokinetic in Patients Suffering of Moderate to Severe Sickle Cell Anemia
The goal of this study is to evaluate if patients with sickle cell disease can achieve a maximum tolerate dose of hydroxuyrea (HU) over a period of 12 months faster with pharmacokinetic testing than the standard of care bloodwork follow-up. Pharmacokinetic test is used to evaluate the process by which …
Effect of Terazosin on ATP Levels in People With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
This will be a single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study to assess the safety and tolerability of terazosin (TZ) at a dose of 5 milligrams (mg) per os (PO) daily for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The primary outcome of this study is to determine whether TZ increases …
A Study of TAK-360 in People With Narcolepsy or Idiopathic Hypersomnia
Central hypersomnia conditions are a group of sleeping disorders where the brain has trouble keeping a person awake during the day (called excessive daytime sleepiness or EDS). These conditions usually include narcolepsy (type 1 and 2) and idiopathic hypersomnia (IH). Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) includes sudden muscle weakness while you …
VETERANS AFFAIRS AUGUSTA
Chronic pain is a prevalent and debilitating condition among Veterans, often accompanied by depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and social isolation. Despite the availability of behavioral interventions many Veterans-particularly those with high in-person healthcare utilization-face barriers to accessing non-pharmacological pain management strategies. These barriers include limited clinician availability, geographic constraints, and …
The ECOG-ACRIN SUPPORT Trial: Multilevel Intervention to Improve Diverse Enrollment in Cancer Clinical Trials
The purpose of this study is to conduct a Hybrid Type 1 cluster-randomized, roll-out effectiveness-implementation trial in NCORP community oncology practice sites (N= 500 Black and Latino cancer patients) to evaluate the effectiveness of the EA SUPPORT intervention combining CT navigators and CT research literacy tools in improving Black and …
