7 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
To evaluate the effectiveness of an online educational course on Alzheimer's disease (AD) prevention, treatment and caregiving.
A 4 week prospective, randomized controlled study was carried out to assess the impact of a care delivery intervention which focused on blood glucose (BG) management among adults with type 2 diabetes presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with BG \> 200mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L). The intervention was designed by a multi-disciplinary team of ED physicians and nurses, endocrinologists and diabetes educators. The intervention incorporated three components: a guideline-based algorithm for diabetes medication management; survival skills diabetes self-management education (DSME); and support for health system navigation. The control group received usual care per the ED's policies and procedures for management of high blood glucose.
There is growing evidence that patients undergoing bone mineral density testing (BMD) often do not take important steps to improve their bone health. The investigators will conduct a randomized-controlled trial to evaluate the impact of a novel and practical patient activation intervention (mailing patients their bone density test results) on the quality of bone-related healthcare and the cost-effectiveness of BMD testing. Equally important, the investigators intervention could easily be modified to include other patient populations and chronic diseases.
The primary goal of the trial is to test the feasibility and efficacy of a cardiovascular disease quality improvement system that couples EMR-based patient identification with individually tailored patient messages. The study will test the hypothesis that that a tailored patient-directed approach to cardiovascular risk reduction integrated into patients' primary care delivery site will improve control of elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and other card iac risk factors more than routine care alone for patients at intermediate or high risk for cardiovascular disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a health literacy/motivational intervention in a workplace setting. Parents will be taught how to use a child health book to lessen inappropriate use of physician services and improve parent confidence in their ability to identify and obtain necessary assistance when their children are ill.
The study investigators have developed an interactive multimedia computer program that provides personally tailored education about colorectal cancer screening in the user's preferred language (English or Spanish). In this study, the investigators will examine whether use of the computer program increases the number of Hispanic patients who receive colorectal cancer screening and lessens or eliminates the glaring disparity in screening between Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety, how well the study medicine works, extent to which side effects can be tolerated, and how the study medicine is changed and eliminated from your body after you apply it on your skin. The study medicine is in ointment form. This study is seeking participants who If they have Atopic Dermatitis (AD): * Have a diagnosis for at least 3 months * Have a diagnosis of mild or moderate disease assessed using Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) * Have percent Body Surface Area (%BSA) covering 5% up to 40% * A Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP-NRS) average score of ≥2 during the screening period If they have plaque psoriasis (PsO): * Have a diagnosis for at least 6 months * Have a diagnosis of mild, moderate, or severe disease assessed using Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) * Have percent Body Surface Area (%BSA) covering 2% up to 20% All participants in this study will receive either 0.01% PF-07038124, 0.03% PF-07038124, or a vehicle ointment. In addition, some participants with PsO will receive 0.06% PF- PF-07038124. Participants will not know which dose level they have received. The participants will be randomly assigned to each dose group. PF-07038124 ointment will be applied topically to affected areas once daily. We will compare the experiences of people receiving the different dose levels of the ointment to those who receive the vehicle ointment. This will help us determine if PF-07038124 ointment is safe and effective. Participants will take part in this study for approximately 21 weeks. Participants will apply the study medicine once daily for 12 weeks followed by a safety follow-up period of 4-5 weeks from last application of study medicine to last visit.
