This is a single-site randomized controlled pilot study at Mount Sinai Hospital evaluating the effect of virtual reality on procedural pain and anxiety in obstetric patients undergoing ultrasound-guided needle procedures. Patients will be randomized to receive either VR or standard care during the procedure and complete validated questionnaires assessing pain, anxiety, intervention acceptability, and satisfaction.
This study aims to reduce pain during interventional radiology (IR) procedures, making the experience better for patients. Typically, doctors use medications like fentanyl and midazolam for sedation. This research will focus on patients undergoing biopsies and drainage procedures, often associated with significant discomfort. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either fentanyl/midazolam or ketamine/midazolam combinations for sedation. A coordinator will collect information on pain levels and satisfaction, as well as monitor any extra medications needed and side effects. The investigators hope to find that ketamine helps decrease pain and improves satisfaction compared to fentanyl, without increasing complications.
The clinical and demographic characteristics of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) pose unique challenges for coronary computed tomography (CT) imaging, as this patient population is mainly composed of elderly, frail individuals with severe aortic stenosis, multiple comorbidities, high prevalence of heavily calcified coronary artery disease (CAD) and revascularized coronary arteries. Such vulnerable patients could benefit from a more precise assessment and characterization of their CAD with ultra-high resolution (UHR) photon-counting detector (PCD) CT that would potentially avoid the need for pre-implantation invasive coronary angiography (ICA). This international multicenter prospective registry study aims to investigate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of PCD-CT in the assessment of CAD in the high-risk population of patients undergoing TAVI, as compared to ICA.
This study evaluates a Non-invasive Thermal Infusion Site Monitor (NTISM) device when used during routine outpatient infusion treatments.
The purpose of this study is to look whether using local anesthesia during a transperineal prostate biopsy, while put to sleep by IV sedation, helps reduce the number of people who feel significant pain in the recovery room. The researchers will also look at how local anesthesia affects the amount of pain medication used, how quickly people can go home after the biopsy, and how well they recover after leaving the hospital.
PAUSE 2 study is a prospective, open-label, blinded-endpoint non-inferiority RCT of PAUSE vs. ASRA management in DOAC treated high risk patients with AF/VTE who need elective high bleed risk surgery/procedure and/or any procedure involving neuraxial anesthesia. The purpose of the PAUSE 2 study is to show that PAUSE management will be as safe (i.e., non-inferior) as ASRA management, with 95% of patients having low/undetectable pre-operative DOAC levels \<30 ng/mL in each group., at the time of surgery/neuraxial.
This research study will evaluate mid-term clinical safety and performance outcomes of the BioBrace® Reinforced Implant when used to augment a tissue graft during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of the VivAer procedure to functional rhinoplasty and septoplasty surgery for the treatment of nasal airway obstruction (NAO) to establish non-inferiority.
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a procedure used to increase the amount of bone volume in the jaw before placing a dental implant. It is needed when a lot of bone has been lost around the spot where a tooth has been lost or extracted. An incision is made, bone grafting material is placed in that spot, there is a membrane put over it as a barrier, then gum tissue has to be pulled back over it. Usually, this is enough to cover the whole wound, but sometimes the barrier membrane can't be covered with tissue the whole way without too much pulling, and the barrier membrane is still exposed. In that case, one thing that can be done is to place another material, an acellular collagen matrix, over the barrier membrane and secure it there. This material has been shown to help with the healing in these cases. Participants in this study will be clinic patients who have been determined to need a GBR procedure. Participants will get the GBR. If the barrier membrane is still exposed, then the acellular matrix material will be placed. This study will compare the healing outcomes and the success of the GBR depending on whether the acellular matrix material was used. The procedure itself is not part of the study. The only people in the study are patients who are already planning to have this procedure done as part of their dental care. It is important to note that the research study will not affect the care that the patient is given, or whether or not the acellular matrix material is used. That will be decided by the dental surgeon who is treating them, based on their clinical judgement. The research study will only observe and compare the outcomes. For the study, participants will have some additional clinical measurements made, besides the ones that are done as part of the follow-up care, and will be asked questions about their experience.
