The DESTINATION Study investigates whether anticoagulation therapy is necessary after successful catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF). Current guidelines recommend continued anticoagulation based on stroke risk scores, even post-ablation, potentially exposing patients to unnecessary bleeding risks. This international, multicenter, randomized controlled trial aims to compare thromboembolic and bleeding event risks between patients who continue and discontinue anticoagulation after ablation. The study involves 3,160 AF patients, all free of AF recurrence within 6 months to 1 year after ablation. Smart wearable monitors will track recurrence, and patients are followed for 24 months to assess event rates. Findings may reshape anticoagulation guidelines, improving clinical practice for AF patients worldwide.

Burn injury and its treatment is an intensely painful experience. Most severely injured patients require numerous dressing changes and skin grafting procedures (removing skin from healthy part of the body and moving it to damaged area of the body). This procedure cause extensive pain and anxiety and many patients can become dependent on pain killers during their hospital stay and throughout rehabilitation. This can delay reintegration into society and increase the chance of opioid dependence. An effective pain management plan plays a large role in patient recovery. In addition to the physical pain experienced by these patients, burn injury is an intensely stressful and emotional life experience. This study will use a non-drug approach to reduce pain and extensive use of pain killers (opioids) during dressing changes. In particular, the study will use an immersive (allows to experience computer-generated environment as a real world) Virtual reality (VR) distraction tool during dressing change after skin graft surgery. Individuals who will decide to participate in this study will be asked to wear headgear to view immersive 360 videos specially designed by the study team. Before and after this exposure participants will be asked to complete a measurement of their anxiety level (VAS) and rate their pain. This study will help to determine if using VR as a distraction tool during painful dressing changes will reduce pain and anxiety, and therefore opioid medications requirements, and will rely on participants experience and adapt VR videos according to participants' response.

It is expected that by 2030, the percentage of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) in Canada over 60 years of age will exceed 50%. In this population, poor cognition and persistent sub-threshold depressive symptoms are particularly common, difficult to treat, associated with increased mood episodes, and poor daily functioning. Mind-body interventions have increasingly been found to be effective in treating several psychiatric condition including BD. A few pilot studies examining mindfulness-based intervention in younger adult BD have been promising for depressive symptoms, but some pilot research suggest that patients with older age bipolar disorder (OABD) may benefit more from moving mindfulness. The investigators will conduct a 12-week randomized controlled trial to assess whether tai-chi/qigong will be associated with 1) greater reduction in depressive symptoms, and 2) greater improved cognition, in comparison to a light exercise active control condition, 12- and 24-weeks from baseline, in BD patients aged 40+.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different modes of delivering a self-management program for chronic pain (independently vs. with additional support) on pain-related disability. Participants with chronic musculoskeletal pain will take part in a 10-week online pain self-management program. For the participants in the group with additional support, the intervention will also include two physiotherapist-led sessions and one group session with other participants. The hypothesis is that the results will support that both modes of delivery could be effective, but the self-management program with additional support will be more effective for reducing pain intensity and pain disability compared to the self-management program alone.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention targeting the determinants of university students' sleep health. It is conducted as part of a doctoral research project. The intervention consists of three structured sessions delivered over three weeks, with additional online follow-ups. Each session lasts 1.5 hours and takes place in the evening, with a one-week interval between sessions. Session 1 focuses on providing fundamental knowledge about sleep health. Session 2 introduces behavioral strategies to improve sleep health and asks participants to implement behavior change intentions. Session 3 reviews the implementation of the intention, the changes made or not, and addresses the relationship between stress and sleep, along with coping strategies. Participants are required to complete online questionnaires and a sleep diary at multiple time points: before the intervention, immediately after, and up to three months post-intervention. These assessments measure sleep habits, beliefs about sleep, and mental health indicators. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: Intervention group, which receives the psychoeducational program first. Waitlist control group, which completes an additional follow-up before receiving the intervention. The study design allows for a controlled evaluation of the intervention's impact on sleep-related behaviors and mental health outcomes.

Work-related shoulder pain is a common problem with significant socio-economic repercussions. The impact of these disorders on workers is considerable, particularly in terms of pain, disability and reduced quality of life. Several occupational factors may explain the onset of these disorders, such as changes in the work environment, physical demands, psychosocial factors specific to the occupational context and the age of workers. The lack of quantitative measurement tools to assess the physical demands of work over an extended period of time is sorely felt. Recently, our team developed a wearable feedback device, similar to a watch worn on the arm, which measures shoulder movements and muscle activity, transforming this real-time data into clinical indicators. These indicators provide immediate feedback to workers, enabling them to better understand the physical demands of their tasks and adapt accordingly. If this device proves effective in reducing physical demands, it could become a valuable tool for guiding workplace assessments and interventions. However, this device has not yet been tested on workers with shoulder pain. For this reason, a two-part pilot study is needed to understand user needs, assess ease of use and the feasibility of implementing the device. The first component will consist of a pilot clinical trial involving 42 workers suffering from shoulder pain, divided into two groups: one group will use the feedback device for 2 weeks, while the other group will continue to work without intervention. The second phase will analyze the experience of participants who have used the device.

The goal of this randomized controlled pilot study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of the PACHA program designed for women having an adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) after hormone-sensitive breast cancer. PACHA (programme en Pharmacie pour l'ACcompagnement des femmes ayant de l'Hormonothérapie Adjuvante) is a community pharmacy-based program aimed at optimizing the experience of AET and its use. The main questions it aims to answer are : * Does the program have an effect on factors expected to influence AET adherence? * Is the program acceptable? * Is the implementation of the program feasible? * What is the feasibility of procedures for carrying out a full-scale study? Participating community pharmacies will be randomized. Pharmacists working in pharmacies assigned to the PACHA group (33 pharmacies) will receive web-based training and manuals to use during their consultations with women having an AET. Recruited women attending these pharmacies will also have access to information and resources about AET (videos, evidence-based booklet). Pharmacists practicing in pharmacies assigned to the control group (33 pharmacies) will provide usual care.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are serious, life changing blood cancers. Patients with MDS and AML commonly experience complications related to bleeding, which affect patient quality-of-life and can sometimes lead to hospitalization or death. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tranexamic acid (TXA; a medication that prevents clots from dissolving) to prevent bleeding. In this study, 50% of patients will be randomized (like the flip of a coin) to receive TXA; the other 50% of patients will receive placebo. The investigators will monitor both groups of patients to see if the medication improves the risk and/or severity of bleeding. If tranexamic acid were to safely reduced the frequency of bleeding, this would broadly influence how doctors provide care for patients with MDS and AML around the world.

MOVED for PTSD

Temple, Texas
Despite the availability of evidence-based treatments for PTSD, there are many challenges to successful trauma recovery for Veterans including difficulties starting and completing these treatments and gaps in fully addressing additional important treatment targets including lower social functioning and quality of life. Alternative, stand-alone treatment options that address a range of outcomes and can be easily accessed are needed to expand the reach of PTSD treatment to Veterans. One way to address this need is with a positive psychology intervention called MOVED, which has shown promise in a prior pilot study. MOVED is a web-based, self-guided intervention (8 sessions, 4 weeks) that uses moral elevation-feeling inspired by others' virtuous actions. This clinical trial will test if MOVED leads to decreased PTSD symptoms and increased social functioning and quality of life compared to a generic supportive treatment that does not focus on moral elevation. Results will help determine if MOVED is a useful alternative approach to target trauma recovery among Veterans with PTSD.

This clinical trial examines the efficacy of a Sensory-Adapted Dental Environment (SADE) in reducing anxiety and improving behavioral outcomes in children with sensory processing disorders during routine dental visits. By modifying the dental setting to accommodate sensory sensitivities-such as using dim lighting, noise-canceling headphones, and non-threatening dental tools-the study aims to create a more comfortable dental experience for these children. This research could potentially inform broader pediatric dentistry practices, making dental care more accessible and less distressing for children with sensory sensitivities.

Perinatal mental health disorders are the most prevalent perinatal comorbidity and are associated with the primary cause of maternal mortality in the United States (US) - suicide. Diagnosis of a high-risk pregnancy and cesarean delivery (CD) are both associated with increased risk for perinatal mood, anxiety, and trauma symptoms (PMATS). There is a deficit in resources and access to mental health treatment for pregnant patients, with some treatments being cost-prohibitive and requiring multiple sessions. Additionally, current approaches to addressing PMATS are reactive rather than preventive. There is evidence in the non-obstetric population that single-session cognitive behavioral therapy interventions targeting anxiety sensitivity (fear of fear) can prevent the development of anxiety and trauma symptoms when individuals are exposed to trauma. The investigators developed a low-cost, 1-hour, single-session prevention intervention that included psychoeducation about anxiety sensitivity, coupled with a brief exposure to the operating room environment and CD procedures. To revise the implementation plan and intervention (CARE: Communication, Agency, Readiness, Empowerment for cesarean delivery \[CD\]) for use in large L\&D units with a broader population of patients, a fully powered multisite randomized control trial (RCT) is needed. Before initiating such a trial, work needs to be done to modify the intervention and implementation through a process of iterative refinement to enhance the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of implementation in L\&D units across the country, as well as its efficacy at engaging with the target mechanism (anxiety sensitivity). Using a logic model to guide the iterative refinement process through fast feedback loops and an atmosphere of co-creation, study investigators will gather critical input from stakeholders (individuals with lived experiences, community partners, front-line clinicians, and hospital staff) via 12 workgroups, 12 user-testing design sessions, and repeated engagement with a steering council. Following this refinement process, a treatment development pilot RCT at a large L\&D unit will assess the efficacy of CARE for CD by probing engagement with the target mechanism, as well as assess the feasibility of implementation. Finally, the updated logic model and pilot trial results will inform the development of a protocol for a multisite RCT through engagement with expert consultants in a community engagement studio and further feedback from the steering council.

Now affecting one in six couples in Canada, infertility is defined as a lack of conception after 12 or more months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. Infertility can result from a number of causes; however, women are responsible for accommodating rigid treatment regimens and carry a disproportionate share of the psychological burden associated with infertility. Thirty to forty percent of women presenting for the evaluation of infertility experiencing clinically significant depression or anxiety. Yet access to infertility-specific mental health resources is extremely limited in Canada; current psychological interventions are not specialized to this population and are largely ineffective at reducing distress. Therefore, there is an enormous need to increase the efficacy and accessibility of mental health resources for this population. To address this need, the 7-week Coping with Infertility (CWI) program was developed in collaboration with women with lived experience with infertility. The CWI program aims to reduce distress related to infertility and was recently tested in a small pilot study, where it was found to be very effective in reducing depression and anxiety and improving quality of life among individuals struggling to get pregnant. The goal of this clinical study is to test the CWI program in adult women experiencing infertility. The main questions it aims to answer are if the CWI program is effective at improving mental health and well-being in women experiencing infertility, and if demographic or lifestyle factors moderate the effect of the treatment. For seven weeks, participants will receive the CWI program and complete online questionnaires and interviews to assess the program's effects on infertility-related distress, quality of life, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and relationship quality. They will then complete these questionnaires biweekly for 16 weeks following the program. Researchers will compare the CWI program to a waitlist/treatment as usual control condition to see if the program reduces psychological distress above and beyond women's ordinary coping strategies. If the program is effective in improving psychological well-being in this clinical study, the researchers will make the program widely and freely available to women throughout Canada and the world.

Childhood adversity affects almost two-thirds of the US population, is a major risk factor for the leading causes of disease and increases US economic health burdens. Childhood adversity also alters biologic systems, such as the oxytocin hormone, that can affect attachment behavior. This innovative study has the potential to advance science and improve mother-infant interaction by testing an early life, home-based, multisensory behavioral intervention (called ATVV), targeting the oxytocin system, to promote synchronous early mother-infant interaction, especially critical for mothers who have experienced childhood adversity. This two-group randomized clinical trial will test the ATVV's effect on oxytocin system function and quality of mother-infant interaction. The investigators will enroll 250 first-time healthy mothers carrying a single baby who have a history of childhood adversity, and obtain baseline data in their third trimester of pregnancy. Soon after birth (before hospital discharge), mothers (and babies) who continue to be eligible are randomized into the intervention group and taught to give ATVV daily for 3 months, or randomized into the Attention Control education group and taught safe infant care. After birth, the investigators check-in frequently with mothers through weekly phone calls. There are 3 study visits at 1, 2 and 3 months after birth that include survey questions and collection of maternal blood and infant saliva. Mothers and babies are also video-recorded at 3 months after birth for 4 minutes to assess mother-infant interaction. The investigators follow-up with a phone call at 6 months after birth. While both groups will benefit from the content and attention the investigators give mothers, the investigators hypothesize that, compared to the education group, mothers and infants in the intervention group will have improved oxytocin system function and more synchronous mother-infant interaction.

Currently, nearly 1 million total knee arthroplasties (TKA) are performed yearly in the United States. Three million are projected to be performed in 2040. Between 15-30% of all patients who undergo TKA have continued pain, reduced quality of life and functional impairments that cannot be attributed to hardware failure/loosening or infection. Treatment options for persistent post TKA pain (failed TKA) are limited. There is a need for minimally invasive, and effective pain and disability modulating interventions for patients with failed TKA. Genicular radiofrequency ablation (GRFA) has been described, refined, and validated as an effective minimally invasive intervention to control refractory knee pain secondary to knee osteoarthritis (OA) as evidenced by three favorable meta-analyses published in 2021 alone.3-5 GRFA is a minimally invasive percutaneous procedure that utilizes thermal energy to coagulate nerves from the knee. Though sometimes used in practice, there is limited research describing and evaluating GRFA for patients with failed TKA. This will be the first trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GRFA in patients with failed TKA using a robust study design and up-to-date, evidence-based selection criteria and technique.

The existence of racially/ethnically based health disparities is well established, both within the civilian community and among Service Members and Veterans. Experiences of discrimination are acute and chronic stressors that substantially contribute to greater emotional distress, poorer health behavior, lower healthcare utilization and increased allostatic load, all of which undermine well-being, functioning and Whole Health. An innovative clinical program, the Race-Based Stress/Trauma and Empowerment (RBSTE) group, was developed to help Veterans of Color to build coping resources and empowerment. Although qualitative data suggest the promise of this intervention, systematic evaluation is lacking. The proposed feasibility project will lay the groundwork for a future randomized controlled trial to evaluate RBSTE as compared to a control group in terms of Whole Health, functioning and mental/physical wellness. The project thus begins a program of research to address the health implications of systemic racism.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Randomized Controlled Trials 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 Randomized Controlled Trials 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 Randomized Controlled Trials 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 Randomized Controlled Trials 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 Randomized Controlled Trials 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 Randomized Controlled Trials clinical trials?

Most recently, we added MOVED for PTSD, Ketamine for Chronic Lower Back Pain and Depression and Yoga for Persistent Post-Surgical Pain to the Power online platform.
