18 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a double blind active placebo controlled clinical trial for individuals within an inpatient setting with moderate to severe depression. The purpose of this study is to assess if nebulized ketamine can reduce depressive symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of simultaneous administration of oral aspirin and oral ketamine as a therapeutic for those with Treatment Resistant Depression.
A vast majority (75-85%) of ankle sprain patients treated in emergency departments (ED) receive pain medication and are not referred for physical rehabilitation. Therefore, purpose of this study is to increase access to the standard of care for an ankle sprain by provide patients with physical rehabilitation delivered through telehealth. The purpose of this study includes compare a 2-week telehealth intervention to the usual care for treating 1) subjective function; 2) physical impairments; 3) medication consumption; and 4) patient-perceived barriers. The central hypothesis is participants receiving the 2-week telehealth intervention will 1) have less pain and disability; 2) improve balance and ankle range of motion; 3) consume less medication; and 4) reports positive feedback compared to the usual care group.
This study will find the maximum safe dose (MSD) or maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CYNK-001 which are NK cells derived from human placental CD34+ cells and culture-expanded. CYNK-001 cells will be given after lymphodepleting chemotherapy for the systemic cohort (IV) (intravenous). The intratumoral cohort (IT) will not be giving lymphodepletion. The safety of this treatment will be evaluated, and researchers want to learn if NK cells will help in treating recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.
This study will find the maximum tolerated dose or the maximum planned dose of CYNK-001 which contains natural killer (NK) cells derived from human placental CD34+ cells and culture-expanded. CYNK-001 cells will be given after lymphodepleting chemotherapy. The safety of this treatment will be evaluated, and researchers want to learn if NK cells will help in treating acute myeloid leukemia.
This study will find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CYNK-001 which contain NK cells derived from human placental CD34+ cells and culture-expanded. CYNK-001 cells will be given post Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT). The safety of this treatment will be evaluated, and researchers will want to learn if NK cells will help in treating Multiple Myeloma.
A blinded randomized control trial in living kidney donors. The study group will receive a liposomal bupivacaine Trans Quadratus Lumborum (TQL) block after the induction of general anesthesia. The following study variables will be collected postoperatively following arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit. Current and maximum intensity pain scores will be documented by nurses in Electronic Health Record (EHR). Total opiate dose consumed every 24 hours will be collected from the EHR and pain diary after discharge. Patient satisfaction will be evaluated using the Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R) 24 hours' post-procedure. Incidence of nausea will be extracted from nursing notes.
This trial is being completed to compare two commonly used options to treat pain after discharge from surgery. Participants that undergo tonsil removal, gallbladder removal, and knee scope will be eligible to enroll. Eligible participants will be randomized to prescription of 1 of 2 groups of medications (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) plus acetaminophen or low dose opioids with the NSAIDs plus acetaminophen. The key question the study seeks to answer is which option will have the best outcomes and with the fewest side effects?
This trial is being completed to compare two commonly used options to treat pain after surgery. Participants that undergo gallbladder removal, hernia repair, and breast lump removal will be eligible to enroll. Eligible participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 groups of medications (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) plus acetaminophen or low dose opioids plus acetaminophen). It is anticipated that the NSAID group will have superior clinical outcomes and fewer side effects when compared to the opioid group.
This is a single centre, three-arm randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group, single-dose, active and placebo-controlled efficacy and pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 x 200 mg Ibuprofen Liquid Capsules in subjects with post-operative dental pain.
This study aims to better understand the role that narcotic vs. non-narcotic multimodal pain management play in patients' pain following bariatric surgery (Laproscopic Surgery and Robotic Assisted Surgery). Participation in this study will last approximately 90 days following surgery. During that 90 day period, participants will be asked to report pain and nausea every 4 hours to a study coordinator or nurse while they are recovering in the hospital. Following discharge from the hospital patients will be asked to report pain, nausea, and any medical changes 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days from surgical date. The procedures and medications used in this study are FDA approved medical therapies and are part of Standard of Care for this population. This study aims to therapeutically investigate efficacy of the proposed pain management regimens. The procedures and individual medications are not the subject of research as they are considered routine well established and documented interventions for obesity and the treatment of post operative pain.
The investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the antidepressant effects of nitrous oxide in people with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). MDD is a global medical condition that causes significant health and economic burden. Recent studies have shown that a single dose of ketamine, an NMDA-antagonist, has fast and long lasting anti-depressant effect. Nitrous oxide, another NMDA-antagonist, is widely used for anesthesia and analgesia, safer to administer and has fewer side effects than ketamine. A randomized controlled crossover feasibility study showed significant reduction in depressive symptoms at 2 and 24 hours after a single 1-hour treatment session of inhaled nitrous oxide compared with placebo. Nitrous oxide is inexpensive and can be safely administered by any trained clinician. If found to be efficacious, it could be used to provide rapid anti-depressant effect whilst the benefit of traditional anti-depressants has its delayed effect. Another potential application could be in acutely suicidal patients. This investigated-initiated phase 2b trial will enable confirmation and extension of the findings from the feasibility study, and identify the optimal dose and regimen in a broader population of those with MDD. Participants will be randomized to receive a weekly 1-hour inhalational sessions of either nitrous oxide or placebo (oxygen-air mixture) for 4 weeks, and the nitrous group will be further randomly assigned to a dose of 50% nitrous oxide or 25% nitrous oxide. Depression severity will be assessed by a blinded observer pre-treatment and at weekly intervals during and for 4 weeks after treatment using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.
The purpose of the current study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of intravenous acetaminophen and intravenous hydromorphone in the treatment of acute pain in the ED.
This is a single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of icatibant administered to adult Japanese subjects.
The purpose of this randomized, placebo controlled, single blind study is to determine if postoperative pain levels, as measured by a verbal numeric pain rating scale (VNRS), are reduced with the administration of IV acetaminophen when compared to a control group. Particular focus will be on the postoperative opioid consumption. In addition, we will ascertain if the total time the participant is in the PACU differs in those who receive the IV acetaminophen versus those who do not.
The primary objective of this application is to test the neurobehavioral mechanisms and effects of aprepitant as a new cessation agent for cannabis, tobacco or both.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of hydromorphone hydrochloride by intrathecal administration using a programmable implantable pump.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acetaminophen ER 1500 mg (two 750 mg tablets) over 10 to 12 hours in the dental pain model following third molar extraction(s) and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of acetaminophen ER 1500 mg (two 750 mg tablets) in a sub-group of subjects.
