Dopaminergic Dysfunction in Late-Life Depression
Late-Life Depression (LLD), or depression in older adults, often presents with motivational deficits, deficits in performance in cognitive domains including processing speed and executive dysfunction, and mobility impairments. This triad of findings implicate dopaminergic dysfunction as a core pathophysiologic feature in depression, and may contribute to cognitive decline and motor …
Deep Brain Stimulation Motor Ventral Thalamus (VOP/VIM) for Restoration of Speech and Upper-limb Function in People With Subcortical Stroke
The goal of this study is to verify whether the use of deep brain stimulation can improve motor function of the hand and arm and speech abilities for people following a stroke. Participants will undergo a surgical procedure to implant deep brain stimulation electrode leads. The electrodes will be connected …
Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention + Bright Light in Adolescents With Elevated Depression (TranS-C+BL)
The goal of this clinical trial is to adapt a sleep intervention for individuals representative of all demographic groups, including those who are at the highest risk for suicidal behavior. Sleep difficulties are a promising target for youth with suicidal thoughts and behavior to focus on as a prevention measure. …
Cervical Transcutaneous SCS for TBI
The goal of this study is to test the effects of non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord (called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation, or tSCS) on arm and hand movement in people with motor impairments after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Specifically, tSCS will be delivered using adhesive electrode pads …
Stimulating Specific Brain Areas (VOP/VIM) With Electricity to Improve Movement and Muscle Control
In this study the investigators aim to enroll patients scheduled to undergo deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation for movement disorders for intra-operative testing. In addition to standard-of-care surgical procedure to implant deep brain stimulation electrode leads, participants will also be stimulated and recorded from cortical areas by a temporary strip …
The Power Down Pilot Study: A Novel Bedtime Manipulation Protocol
The goal of this pilot intervention study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a novel bedtime manipulation protocol called "The Power Down" for autistic youth, ages 6-10. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the Power Down feasible for caregivers to do each night? Do the …
Apimostinel + Automated Neurocognitive Training for Depression
Apimostinel shows initial promise as a novel rapid-acting antidepressant medication with minimal side effects or safety concerns. Cognitive Training (CT) is a digital intervention that has shown promise in extending the durability of another similar drug (ketamine). This randomized controlled trial will test the efficacy and safety of apimostinel (vs. …
Study of Healthy Donor FMT (hdFMT) and Pembrolizumab in Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) PD-L1 Positive NSCLC
This study is to determine if Healthy Donor FMT (hdFMT) improves the body's ability to fight cancer in patients with relapsed/refractory PD-L1 Positive NSCLC.
Use of SPY Imaging System to Minimize Fistulas After Hypopharyngeal Reconstruction
Investigators performing this research want to look at the use of a special imaging process during a specific throat surgery. Using this imaging may help to lower a common complication that called a pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF). A PCF is a leak in the tube in the throat that helps with …
Fast In-Bed Tracking (FIT) System Lifestyle Intervention is a Clinical Trial of a Bed Scale Device. Overweight Wheelchair Users Will Participate in a Weight Loss Program, Half Will Receive Bed Scales, and Participants Who Receive the Bed Scales Are Expected to Have Increased Weight Loss.
This project will complete the final design and development steps to commercialize the Fast In-Bed Tracking (FIT) Platform, which is an e-Health and wellness Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring system that can be integrated into a user's bed and provide person-centered, real-world outcomes to support health and wellness. The technical …
