THC for Driving Performance

Madison, Wisconsin
This study is being done to assess the feasibility of administrating Δ9-THC and Δ8-THC isolates and simultaneously adopting several data harmonization measures to generate uniquely translatable data. This project aims to (1) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of administering ∆9-THC and Δ8-THC isolates using standardized cannabis dosing units to quantify ∆9-THC and Δ8-THC pharmacokinetics; and (2) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of adopting standardized impairment detection methods and driving performance definitions and measures on quantifying ∆9-THC and Δ8-THC driving impairment compared to a placebo.

Prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDOC) are defined as DOC lasting \>1 year post injury for patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and \>3 months post injury for patients with non-TBI and at present there are limited treatments that reliably lead to enhanced prognosis. The rehabilitation process throughout the continuum of care for patients with pDOC necessitates restorative strategies to facilitate arousal and functional recovery and coordinated medical management. Rehabilitation interventions for patients with DOC and pDOC have evolved in the past decade, with an emerging body of evidence highlighting the benefits of rehabilitation intervention even in the acute. While there is data to support the individual utility of these modalities, no work to date has investigated the benefits of pairing transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) and robotic tilt table mobilization (RTTM) to maximize functional recovery in patients with pDOC. This study will report on the safety, feasibility, and preliminary short- and long-term outcomes of RTTM with simultaneously paired Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for Severe Acquired Brain Injury (SABI) patients with pDOC . Fifteen (15) participants will be recruited and complete a 12-week rehabilitation protocol using paired taVNS and RTTM. Once participants have been screened and enrolled in the study, they will complete three study phases: T1: a baseline observation of standard of care T2, intervention, and T3 longitudinal follow up.

Amino Acid Blend for Delirium

Little Rock, Arkansas
The investigators have developed a proprietary blend of amino acids that they think will help to prevent or reduce the severity of delirium in older adults (60 years and older) who are hospitalized for certain infections. In this study, up to 45 people will be enrolled.15 will be asked to drink this blend twice a day for up to 4 days, and 15 will receive standard treatment in the hospital for the same time period. The other 15 subjects will be non-delirious control subjects who do not consume any study products.

This trial aims to find the safest and most effective dose of Levetiracetam (LEV) for treating seizures in newborns. LEV works by calming the brain's electrical activity to prevent or reduce seizures. Newborns with seizures will receive LEV, and if seizures continue, they will be given higher doses of LEV. Levetiracetam (LEV) has been studied extensively for its efficacy and safety in treating seizures across various age groups, including neonates, infants, children, and adults.

The CONNECT-TBI Trial aims to develop safe, effective treatments for complex mTBI that improve cognitive functioning. Based on the compelling preliminary data generated by our study team, the objective of this study is to conduct a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled Phase II clinical trial of APT-3 combined with rTMS, HD-tDCS, or sham to treat cognitive control deficits in Veterans with complex mTBI and PPCS. At the Baseline Visit, participants will undergo demographic, neuropsychological, behavioral, and quality of life testing. They will also undergo structural MRI to permit modeling of their brain, resting/task-related fMRI to identify the CCN, and pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to assess for other pathologies. They will then be randomized to 16 sessions of APT-3 with concurrent rTMS, HD-tDCS, or sham stimulation delivered to the unique functional left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a primary node of the CCN. Lastly, they will repeat all baseline tests, and report on 3- and 6-month recovery levels to establish longevity and stability of subjective benefit. Given that this individualization protocol has never been attempted for cognitive rehabilitation in military mTBI, we expect this trial will generate useful effect sizes for HD-tDCS and rTMS to be used for powering the next step, a Phase III multi-center trial.

The purpose of this research study is to learn how a wearable nerve stimulation device, the Spark Biomedical's Sparrow Ascent System™, impacts the development of spatial disorientation and/or motion sickness in a healthy population. Spatial disorientation is when there is a "mismatch" between where a person is, and where the sense organs in their body tell them where they are. These sense organs include the inner ear (the vestibular system), the eyes (the visual system), the sense of where one's legs, back, and neck are (proprioceptive system), and one's higher thinking (cognitive centers). If spatial disorientation is severe or occurs in motion-naïve individuals, spatial disorientation can lead to motion sickness. The Sparrow Ascent System™ is a wearable, battery-operated transcutaneous auricular (ear) neurostimulation (tAN) device. This means that it uses electrical pulses to stimulate branches of nerves on and/or around the ear, specifically the "vagus" and "trigeminal" nerves. These nerves are also responsible for your sensation of nausea and your heart rate (vagus nerve), as well as headaches (trigeminal nerve). The Sparrow System utilizes a flexible earpiece with embedded hydrogel electrodes that stick to the skin, the earpiece is disposable after use. This device is already Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for use in humans and is safely used for control of symptoms in a variety of other medical conditions, such as opioid withdrawal and acute stress reaction. In this study, we will determine if the Sparrow Ascent System™ impacts the development of spatial disorientation or motion sickness.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in brain "fog" complaints associated with long-COVID in people aged 22-50-years. The main questions it aims to answer are: * the natural course of brain "fog" complaints * the effect, if any of supplemental dietary oil on brain "fog" complaints Participants will be asked to undergo some brain testing (X-rays and questions. Treatments they'll be given will be one of two supplemental oils to consume daily. Researchers will compare outcomes in the two different oil groups to see if it has any effect on brain "fog" complaints.

Traditionally, general anesthesia is maintained with inhalational anesthesia (GAS), but there is a gap in knowledge regarding whether intravenous anesthesia (IV) can prevent deleterious postoperative outcomes in the geriatric surgical population. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether intravenous anesthesia (IV) leads to a decreased incidence of postoperative delirium (POD), postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), and functional decline, and improved patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in older adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery when compared to the standard inhalational anesthesia (GAS). This single-center, 1:1 randomized, double-blind (patient \& outcome assessor) clinical trial will compare inhalational vs. intravenous anesthesia on POD, POCD, functional status, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and blood-based biomarkers in older patients undergoing elective, inpatient, non-cardiac surgery. Upon enrollment, 260 women and men ≥ 70 years undergoing elective noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia will be randomized to 2 groups: TIVA or GAS.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Concussion clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Concussion clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Concussion trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Concussion is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Concussion medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Concussion clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Rehabilitation for Concussion, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Concussion and Tranexamic Acid for Reducing Bruising After Dermal Filler to the Power online platform.
