19 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This research trial collects feedbacks from indoor tanning bed users via focus group for the development of social media-delivered intervention. Conducting a focus group with people using indoor tanning bed and having access to Facebook may help doctors to better understand people's perspective and thoughts about the various Facebook messages.
This trial studies the side effects of OsteoCrete in filling bone voids in participants with bone voids or defects. OsteoCrete may eliminate the need for further surgery and the removal of healthy bone.
This trial studies how well art works in improving outcomes in participants who are undergoing surgery. Exposure to art may help to improve clinical and psychological outcomes.
This trial studies the effectiveness of patient navigators in facilitating weight management in obese participants. Health coaches or patient navigators may help more participants take part in weight management programs.
This randomized clinical trial studies how well social-media intervention works in reducing tanning in high-risk indoor and outdoor tanners. Social-media intervention delivered via Facebook may help to promote healthy behaviors, positive body image, and to understand young women's perception of a social media campaign.
This pilot research trial studies how well questionnaires and cognitive assessments work in tracking patient symptoms following mammography. Gathering information over time through questionnaires and cognitive tests about symptoms patients may experience after a mammogram may help doctors understand the cause of these symptoms.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well systematic random biopsy or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-ultrasound image (US) fusion biopsy work in diagnosing prostate cancer in patients with elevated prostate specific antigen. Systematic random biopsy and MRI-US fusion biopsy may work better in improving the accuracy of prostate cancer detection.
This randomized clinical trial studies and compares 3 techniques in performing autologous fat grafting (AFG) in patients undergoing surgery to reshape or rebuild (reconstruct) a part of the body changed by previous surgery and inserted into another part of the body. AFG, also called fat injections or fat transplant, is a procedure in which an individual's own body fat (usually from abdomen or legs) is used during reconstructive surgery. Doctors want to compare 3 techniques for processing the fat tissue collected during surgery and the length of time needed to complete each AFG technique and surgery. Comparing 3 AFG techniques and the time to complete them during surgery may help doctors determine the best technique to perform fat grafting in the future.
This pilot clinical trial studies transrectal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided biopsy to see how well it works in identifying cancer in patients with suspected prostate cancer who are scheduled to undergo standard biopsy. Transrectal MRI-guided biopsy uses a thin needle inserted through the rectum into the prostate and takes a sample of tissue, guided by MRI. MRI uses magnets to take pictures of the prostate and may be able to identify cancer. Transrectal MRI-guided biopsy may be more accurate and cause patients less pain than standard ultrasound-guided biopsy. It is not yet known whether transrectal MRI-guided biopsy is more effective than ultrasound-guided biopsy in identifying prostate cancer.
This clinical trial studies how well PreView, preventive video education, works in increasing rates of breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening, improving participants' stage of change with respect to age appropriate cancer screening and increasing patient-provider discussions about prostate cancer screening.
RATIONALE: Art therapy may help relieve emotional distress in caregivers of young patients undergoing bone marrow transplant for cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying art therapy for caregivers of young patients undergoing bone marrow transplant for cancer.
This trial studies an internet-based intervention for skin self-examination (SSE) in participants at increased risk for melanoma. Early detection of suspicious growths on the skin can be done by performing regular SSE checks. Using an internet-based intervention, such as mySmartCheck, may help to promote regular, thorough checks on the skin in individuals at increased risk for melanoma.
This trial studies how well a theoretically-based motivational behavior change program called Tu Salud Si Cuenta! works in promoting healthy lifestyles in Latino families. Tu Salud Si Cuenta! will deliver programs on healthy lifestyles and healthy homes to Hispanic/Latino families and may help to improve their health.
This randomized clinical trial studies how well a lay health worker outreach works in increasing colorectal cancer screening in Asian Americans. Training community members to educate participants about colorectal cancer and its prevention may improve colorectal cancer screening rates in Asian Americans.
This randomized research trial studies the Community-based Health Information Technology (HIT) Tools for Cancer Screening and Health Insurance Promotion (CATCH-UP) intervention in increasing cancer screening and prevention care in uninsured patients at community health centers. The CATCH-UP intervention may contribute to increased rates of insurance coverage, leading to improved cancer screening and prevention rates in community health care settings, and general recommended preventive care.
This pilot clinical trial studies different types of energy balance interventions to see how well they work in increasing the physical activity levels of breast cancer gene-positive patients, Lynch syndrome-positive patients, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) survivors or family members of cancer survivors who are at high risk for cancer. Increasing exercise and eating healthy foods may help reduce the risk of cancer. Studying how well different types of interventions work in motivating cancer survivors or high-risk family members to increase exercise and healthy food choices may help doctors plan the most effective motivational program for cancer prevention.
This randomized clinical trial studies home-based HPV or clinic-based Pap screening for cervical cancer. It is not yet known whether home-based screening is more effective, cost-effective, and/or acceptable than clinic-based screening for cervical cancer.
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue from patients undergoing colonoscopy to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about colon cancer and identify biomarkers related to colon cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is collecting blood and tissue samples for future colon cancer biomarker studies in patients undergoing colonoscopy.
This randomized pilot phase I trial studies the best way, either expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) or post massage urine (PMU) biomarkers, of predicting biopsy results in patients undergoing prostate biopsy. Studying samples of urine in the laboratory may help doctors detect prostate cancer. It is not yet known whether EPS or PMU biomarkers are more effective in predicting prostate biopsy results
