Ablation-Index Guided Scar-Mediated Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Over the last decade, radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has become an established treatment for ventricular arrhythmias (VA). Due to the challenging nature of visualizing lesion formation in real time and ensuring an effective transmural lesion, different surrogate measures of lesion quality have been used. The Ablation Index (AI) is a …
Mood Effects of Serotonin Agonists: Depression
This study will examine the effect of a low dose of the 5HT2A agonist LSD (26 µg), compared to placebo, on acute and protracted mood states in individuals with depression. The investigators will assess the relationship between mood-related symptoms and EEG as a neurophysiological marker.
Functional Improvement in OSA and COPD With a Telehealth LifeStyle and Exercise Intervention
The investigators will conduct a Type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation study to test an integrated telehealth intervention among 400 overweight and obese patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The investigators will include eligible participants receiving primary care at one of five Department of Veterans Affairs …
A Pivotal Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Isometric Handgrip Therapy in Elevated Blood Pressure and Hypertensive Subjects
The study will be a multi-center, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using the Zona Plus handgrip therapy device compared to the use of an auditory relaxation therapy for treatment of high blood pressure and hypertension in subjects who are not currently taking antihypertensive medications. Half …
Improving Mobility After Revascularization in Peripheral Artery Disease
Lower extremity revascularization combined with supervised exercise significantly improves walking performance compared to revascularization alone in people who have PAD without limb threatening ischemia. However, supervised exercise is inaccessible or burdensome for most PAD patients. Investigators hypothesize that home-based exercise combined with lower extremity revascularization will significantly improve walking performance …
Erector Spinae Plane Block for Acute Back Pain in the Emergency Department
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an erector spinae plane block (ESPB; a type of nerve block) works to reduce pain in adults presenting to the emergency department with low back pain. It will also learn if the ESPB reduces pain, disability, and return to work …
Study of Targeted Therapy vs. Chemotherapy in Patients With Thyroid Cancer
This phase III trial compares the effect of cabozantinib versus combination dabrafenib and trametinib for the treatment of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and which expresses a BRAF V600E mutation. Cabozantinib is in a class of medications called receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It …
Feasibility of a Dog Training Therapy Program in UC Outpatient Youth Receiving Psychiatric Services
The goal of this pilot project is to test for initial efficacy of the Recovery & Care Canine-Assisted Therapy program that has been developed and implemented in Lawrence Hall, a Chicago-based residential treatment center for maltreated youth. In this study, the investigators test the feasibility, acceptability, and short-term efficacy of …
Pulmonary Artery DenerVation Clinical Study Using the Gradient Denervation System in Heart Failure Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension Group 2 (PreVail-PH2 Study)
This early feasibility study is intended to characterize the impact of pulmonary artery denervation on the quality of life in Heart Failure Patients with Group 2 Pulmonary Hypertension
Early Detection of Infection Using the Fitbit in Pediatric Surgical Patients
The purpose of this study is to analyze Fitbit data to predict infection after surgery for complicated appendicitis and the effect this prediction has on clinician decision making.
