Bupivacaine for Postoperative Pain

New Haven, Connecticut
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a superficial cervical plexus block improves quality of recovery after thyroid surgery. Investigators will compare a superficial cervical plexus block with bupivacaine compared to an identical procedure performed saline placebo to see if there is a difference in quality of recovery on the first postoperative day. The main question to answer is: • Does a superficial cervical plexus block with bupivacaine compared to placebo improve quality of recovery in patients having thyroid surgery. Participants will: * Fill out an initial preoperative survey * Be randomized to receive a superficial cervical plexus block with bupivacaine or saline placebo while under anesthesia before the surgery starts * Fill out a survey about recovery on the first day after surgery

Early Ileostomy Closure for Rectal Cancer

London, Ontario
Our preliminary work demonstrates that there is buy-in from both patients and surgeons with regards to early ileostomy closure (EIC) for select rectal cancer patients undergoing restorative proctectomy (RP) and diverting loop ileostomy (DLI). The feedback from leaders in Europe further supports the need for a large scale randomized-controlled trial (RCT) on this subject in North America. Should the results of such a study be favourable, we believe it could support a change in practice that would be beneficial to patients and the health care system alike. Furthermore, our work will help identify which patients and practices are suitable for EIC. The goal of our project is to determine whether EIC in rectal cancer patients undergoing RP with a DLI is safe, feasible and beneficial in a North American population. Specifically, our primary objective is to compare the severity of complications between patients undergoing EIC versus traditional (late) closure. Our secondary objectives include assessing the difference in quality of life (QoL), early and late bowel function, and cost of care between these two groups.

Breathing Techniques + Guided Meditations for Mental Health

Boston, Massachusetts
This research study aims to explore whether a set of simple breathing techniques and guided meditations can improve the psychological well-being and recovery of ICU survivors and their caregivers. ICU survivors and their caregivers often experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression after discharge. This study investigates whether practicing Isha Kriya, a guided meditation, and Nadi Shuddhi, a breathing technique, can support their mental health and relationship quality. These practices are delivered through a mobile app or in a group setting. Participants enroll as a caregiver-patient dyad and will engage in these techniques throughout the study. In addition to the practices, brain activity will be recorded using a safe, non-invasive EEG device. The EEG, a lightweight cap with small sensors, measures brainwaves to assess potential changes in brain function and connection. EEG recordings will take place in the hospital during two sessions, each lasting approximately 40 minutes. Participants will also complete short surveys at five time points throughout the study, assessing mood, stress, and relationship quality. Baseline demographic information will be collected, and at the conclusion of the study, a brief interview will be conducted to gather feedback on the experience. The study spans approximately seven weeks, with the overall goal of determining whether these breathing and meditation practices can provide accessible and scalable mental health support for ICU survivors and their caregivers.

Lidocaine + Dexmedetomidine for Surgery Outcomes

Québec, Quebec
Up to 40% of patients experience suboptimal recovery in the days following major surgery, limiting their return to functional independence. Few preventive interventions exist, but intravenous dexmedetomidine and lidocaine administered during general anesthesia represent simple strategies that may significantly impact recovery and other patient-centred outcomes after surgery. The goal of this pilot trial is to determine the feasibility of conducting a phase 3 pragmatic adaptive multicentre trial to evaluate the impact of dexmedetomidine and lidocaine administered during major non-cardiac surgery on patient-centred outcomes.

Increased Protein Intake (Eggs) for Cancer Recovery

Edmonton, Alberta
Cancer and its treatments often result in severe toxicities and side effects that, over the course of treatment, results in weight loss and depletion of key nutrients. Loss of muscle mass and strength during cancer treatment is a critical problem because it negatively affects patient response and tolerance to therapy and post-treatment recovery. To restore the nutritional status, it is imperative to stimulate muscle protein anabolism. Eggs are high quality protein source, popular and well tolerated by cancer patients. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine whether a nutritional intervention of ≥2 eggs can aid in restoring nutritional status and improving immune function and quality of life of cancer patients' post-treatment. It is an 8- week randomised clinical trial with parallel arm assignment. Half of the participants will receive the nutritional intervention (Early Intervention) and the other half will be on standard of care or usual diet for first 4 weeks. Starting from week 5, all participants will receive the nutrition intervention till week 8 (Delayed Intervention). Dietary intake (foods and nutrients), cumulative protein intake (g protein/kg body weight), immunological measures, physical performance and quality of life has been planned to be assessed over time and between groups to evaluate the feasibility of an egg intervention in meeting recommended protein intakes for patients with cancer.

Opioid-Free vs Opioid-Based Anesthesia for Postoperative Recovery

Los Angeles, California
Substituting the administration of opioids with a combination of alternative analgesics, known as opioid-free anesthesia (OFA), is gaining in popularity today and is typically administered as part of a larger multimodal strategy. However, OFA adoption is not as common today as one could expect from the potential benefits of limiting opioid use and patient involvement in the decision may impact its adoption. Relevant shared decision-making process with patients concerning the use or limited use of opioids could improve patient autonomy and empowerment. There have been no studies that have evaluated patient preference regarding opioid use and its potential impact on the quality of recovery. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of patient preference on intraoperative opioid use on early postoperative quality of recovery following moderate risk laparoscopic/robotic abdominal surgery.

Enhanced Vitals Monitoring for Surgery

Vancouver, British Columbia
The aim of this clinical trial is to examine the feasibility of an enhanced vital sign monitoring solution in-hospital and at-home. This study includes adult patients undergoing inpatient medium- to high-risk vascular or abdominal surgery. Researchers will compare the enhanced vitals monitoring group to the standard of care group to see if it may change post-operative management and outcomes. The primary question it aims to answer is if enhanced monitoring of surgical patient vitals can increase the number of days at home alive in the first 30 days after surgery. Participants in the intervention group will test two vitals monitoring devices, one in the hospital and one at home. They will also be asked to complete several questionnaires and a follow up phone call.

Paravertebral Block for Post Cardiac Surgery Pain

Vancouver, British Columbia
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral, paravertebral blockade (intervention) against sham blocks (control) placed prior to sternotomy in improving quality of recovery following cardiac surgery. Primary outcome: The hypothesis is that bilateral single-shot PVB at the thoracic spinal segmental levels T3/4, compared with sham blocks, improve the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score at 24 hours following cardiac surgery by a minimally clinically important difference of 8.0 or greater. Secondary outcomes: The hypothesis is that the intervention will reduce pain scores, opioid requirements, and related side effects; improve respiratory mechanics; and facilitate a better first night's rest/sleep in the first 24-48 hours compared to sham blocks.

Why Other Patients Applied

"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 Quality Of Recovery 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 Quality Of Recovery 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 Quality Of Recovery 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 Quality Of Recovery 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 Quality Of Recovery 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 Quality Of Recovery clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Preoperative Maltodextrin for Heart Failure, Breathing Techniques + Guided Meditations for Mental Health and Lidocaine + Dexmedetomidine for Surgery Outcomes to the Power online platform.
