It is expected that large numbers of healthcare workers will experience a broad range of psychological reactions and symptoms including anxiety, depression, moral distress, and trauma symptoms that will cause both significant suffering as well as occupational and social impairment. The purpose of this study is to find interventions which are helpful in treating psychological distress in healthcare workers caring for COVID-19 patients. There are two phases of the study. All participants will take part in Phase I, which consists of 4 sessions over a two-week period of either a narrative writing intervention or a medical music intervention. Participants will be randomly assigned to the narrative writing intervention or medical music intervention. After Phase I, participants will be re-assessed. Healthcare workers who meet criteria for PTSD will be given the option to participate in Phase II of the study, in which they will be offered a choice between one of two evidence-based treatments for PTSD: Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) or Exposure Therapy (ET). Both treatments are comprised of ten 75-minute sessions scheduled twice weekly. Participants will be allowed to choose a preferred treatment in Phase II. After Phase II participants will complete a final assessment concluding the study. All interventions will be offered using distance technology.

The purpose is to test how osteopathic medicine (OMM) improves recovery after a hit to the head during Mixed Martials Arts (MMA). The small changes in the bone, joints, and fluids during head injuries may lead to traumatic brain injury (TBI). The OMM is adjusting the body with the doctors' hands. The goal is to restore alignment and release tension. The head is treated with the doctors' hands placed gently on the head or face. It was previously found to improve symptoms and recovery of memory after head injuries in college athletes. There haven't been clinical trials of this procedure in MMA fighters. Yet, they often get injuries to the part of the brain that releases hormones. Referrals for tests for the hormones are available. Individuals who participate in MMA fighting or sparring matches may join this study. Those who don't get hit in the head or a concussion will contribute to our understanding the osteopathic structural physical exam and fluid dynamics of the head in relation to brain function tests. Those who get hit in the head may be put in the treatment procedure or sham-placebo group. Participants will not be told which group they are in. We anticipate that 100 individuals of any gender will enroll in this study at NYIT Academic Health Care Center (AHCC). To be in this study, the participant must: Part 1 - Before the fight: 1. Plan to participate in an MMA fight or sparring match, 2. 18 to 50 years of age, 3. Be able to do online cognitive neuropsychology tests for memory, reaction time, and symptoms. Part-2-After the fight: (1) Have been hit in the head, or had a head injury, during a fight The participant cannot be in this study if they have: Part 1- Before the fight: 1. a current or previous spinal cord injury, 2. a traumatic brain injury within the past six months, 3. inability to tolerate the sports physical, 4. a diagnosis of brain degeneration, 5. low hormones levels from the brain, 6. Pregnancy Participants won't get referred for hormone testing if they don't have any clinical signs of this injury. They also won't get referred for it if they've had heart disease, disease of the blood vessels in their brain, or seizures. Participants cannot be in Part-2-After the fight if they: 1. cannot tolerate OMM (For example, you have a skull fracture, cervical spine fracture, bleeding or increased pressure in the head, tearing of tissues in the neck, space-occupying lesion, or stroke). 2. were knocked out for more than 2 minutes, had seizures, persistent vomiting, or paralysis when your head was hit. Participation involves 2 or 4 visits, which will take place over one week. * The first visit takes 30 mins. in-person and 70 mins. of online testing from home. * The second visit takes 30-60 mins. in-person and 70 mins. of online testing from home. * The third \& fourth visits will each be 30 mins. in-person and 70 mins. online testing from home. If participants agree to be in this study, they will be asked to do the following: Visit #1: Before the Fight * Get screened and review the consent form * Take the neuropsychology tests (ImPACT and Inquisit Web) online from home * Get a non-invasive sports physical exam of head, neck, back, arms, and legs. * Urine sample for the hormone from the brain called oxytocin (optional) * Have blood sugar checked by a lancet after pricking the finger (optional) Fight video: The study-doctors will record the participants' fights to make a computational model of the head. Visit 2: After the Fight * Get a sports physical of head, neck, back, arms, and legs. * IF the participant was hit in the head, the study-doctors or participants private doctor will examine them. * Take the ImPACT and Inquisit Web tests online from home * If the participant had an injury to their brain, they may get the OMM procedure or sham placebo-control (non-therapeutic light touch). * Urine sample for the hormone from the brain called oxytocin (optional) * Have your blood sugar checked by a lancet after pricking your finger (optional) * Referral to your doctor to test the levels of other brain hormone (optional) Visit 3 \& 4: * Sports physical of head, neck, back, arms, and legs * Take the ImPACT and Inquisit Web tests online from home * If you had an injury to your brain, you may get the OMM procedure or sham placebo-control (nontherapeutic light touch). You will not be told which one you are getting. * Urine sample for oxytocin (optional) * Have blood sugar checked by a lancet after pricking your finger (optional) * Referral to test the levels of other brain hormone (optional) Any significant new findings that develop during research that may relate to the participants health or willingness to continue will be provided to them by phone call. The results will help us understand head injuries, how well OMM works to treat them, and may improve future care for fighters.

Nearly 300,000 U.S. children experience injuries that require them to be hospitalized this year. These children, and their caregivers, are at high risk for emotional and behavioral problems, as well as poor quality of life. Trauma centers in the US have good outcomes for survival and physical recovery, but they typically do not have programs to address the emotional and behavioral needs of families. The purpose of this project is to develop a service that achieves this and that can serve as a good model for trauma centers to use. This project will develop, evaluate, and test CAARE (Caregivers' Aid to Accelerate Recovery after pediatric Emergencies) to address the behavioral and emotional needs of caregivers and children.

The study team is currently recruiting volunteers who are interested in participating in a brain-spinal cord-muscle response training study that aims to better understand the changes that take place in the nervous system as a result of this type of training. After spinal cord injury, brain-to-muscle connections are often interrupted. Because these connections are important in movement control, when they are not working well, movements may be disturbed. Researchers have found that people can learn to strengthen these connections through training. Strengthening these connections may be able to improve movement control and recovery after injuries. Research participants will be asked to stand, sit, and walk during the study sessions. Electrodes are placed on the skin over leg muscles for monitoring muscle activity. For examining brain-to-muscle connections, the study team will use transcranial magnetic stimulation. The stimulation is applied over the head and will indirectly stimulate brain cells with little or no discomfort. Participation in this study requires approximately three sessions per week for four months, followed by two to three sessions over another three months. Each session lasts approximately 1 hour.

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate if early detection of spasticity and immediate treatment with oral baclofen during acute care prevents problematic spasticity and improves neurofunctional recovery after tSCI. The main questions it aims to answer are : 1. Assess the safety of early baclofen treatment during acute care after SCI. 2. Compare the neurofunctional outcomes between the early baclofen group and the control group up to 6 months after tSCI, in terms of mobility, global functional independence, neurological recovery, pain and spasticity. The early baclofen group will receive oral administration of baclofen as soon as any sign of acute spasticity is observed. The dose is started initially at 5 mg three times a day and is increased every 7 days by 5 mg per intake (up to a maximum 80 mg total per day) until achieving an optimal response, i.e. when spasticity is no longer problematic. The control group however will receive the "usual routine care" at our institution as per which baclofen is initiated by the attending physician (i.e. physiatrist or spine surgeon) only when acute spasticity becomes severe and problematic.

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to verify the efficacy of VR immersion over a muted cartoon on a wall-mounted TV to decrease dental fear and anxiety of children undergoing dental procedures. The study also aims to gain insight on the satisfaction of parents and healthcare providers on the use of VR during dental appointments. Main research question: Does VR immersion compare to a cartoon on a wall-mounted TV is more efficacious to decrease dental fear and anxiety of children requiring dental procedures? Participants will be playing through a VR immersive game wearing a eye-tracking VR headset that requires no movement of the head to play, facilitating the dental procedure. The investigators will take measures of the stress levels of participants and their parents using a validated stress scale and also by taking salivary samples to verify the levels of a stress biomarker (alpha-amylase).

Addiction and trauma exposure are common among the 5.5 million people (1 in 47 adults) in the U.S. who are in prison or under supervision. About 85% of people in prison have a substance use disorder or are there for a drug-related crime, and many have experienced serious trauma before being incarcerated. Posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) are often a result of trauma and are linked to more severe drug use, higher rates of relapse, and increased crime. PTSS and substance use disorder (SUD) each raise the chances of new arrests for people who are justice-involved, showing that addressing trauma and addiction could help reduce repeat offenses and the costs of incarceration. However, treatments for PTSS are rarely available in prisons, and there is little research on whether providing therapy for PTSS in prison can lower drug use, PTSS, or crime after release. The goal of this clinical trial is to see if trauma-focused group therapy (CPT) provided while in prison, can help people after release from prison. The therapy has been adapted for use in prisons (CPT-CJ) and will be compared to trauma focused therapy delivered via a self-help workbook This study will: * test whether a trauma-focused group therapy (CPT-CJ) can reduce post-incarceration drug and alcohol use, mental health issues, and drug-related crime, compared to trauma-focused self-help, * evaluate a strategy called implementation facilitation, which helps support the use of this therapy in prisons, and * measure the cost of the therapies and support strategies to help plan for future expansion. Incarcerated participants (N = 640; 50% female) will be enrolled from \~10 prisons in \~5 states, ensuring variability in population and setting characteristics. They will: * take surveys and answer questions up to 5 times (before starting treatment, right after getting treatment, right before leaving prison, 3 months after leaving prison and 6 months after leaving prison) * complete CPT group therapy or self-help therapy * provide urine samples 3 months and 6 months after leaving prison Prison stakeholders (e.g., prison staff, prison leadership, governmental officials; N = \~15 per site) who will be purposively sampled based on their role in CPT-CJ implementation will also participate in some surveys.

Therapy Dog Visits for Injury

Boston, Massachusetts
Animal assisted therapy (AAT) with dogs has been shown to be beneficial for a wide range of patients with both acute and chronic illnesses, including spinal cord injuries, heart failure, myocardial infarctions, strokes, cancer, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. Studies have also demonstrated that even in healthy adults, the presence of dogs is associated with physiologic changes such as increased pain threshold, decreased blood pressure, and decreased heart rate. However, few studies have investigated the role of AAT in the post-operative course in adults. This study will investigate the impact of therapy dog visits on pain and anxiety scores for trauma patients at Boston Medical Center (BMC).

Traumatic injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in young adults, and remains a substantial economic and health care burden. Despite decades of promising preclinical and clinical investigations in trauma, investigators understanding of these entities is still incomplete, and few therapies have shown success. During severe trauma, bone marrow granulocyte stores are rapidly released into the peripheral circulation. This release subsequently induces the expansion and repopulation of empty or evacuated space by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Although the patient experiences an early loss of bone marrow myeloid-derived cells, stem cell expansion is largely skewed towards the repopulation of the myeloid lineage/compartment. The hypothesis is that this 'emergency myelopoiesis' is critical for the survival of the severely traumatized and further, failure of the emergency myelopoietic response is associated with global immunosuppression and susceptibility to secondary infection. Also, identifying the release of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the circulation of human severe trauma subjects. This process is driven by HSCs in the bone marrow of trauma subjects. Additionally, MDSCs may have a profound effect on the nutritional status of the host. The appearance of these MDSCs after trauma is associated with a loss of muscle tissue in these subjects. This muscle loss and possible increased catabolism have huge effects on long term outcomes for these subjects. It is the investigator's goal to understand the differences that occur in these in HSCs and muscle cells as opposed to non-injured and non-infected controls. This work will lead to a better understanding of the myelopoietic and catabolic response following trauma.

In Canada, injury leads to more potential years of life lost and to greater costs than heart and stroke diseases combined. Furthermore, more than 50% of patients hospitalised following injury do not receive optimal care, 20% of injury deaths are estimated to be preventable, and significant variations in injury mortality and morbidity have been observed across trauma centers in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States. Over the past decades, emphasis on adherence to evidence-based processes of care (rewards for doing more) and rapid innovation in imaging and therapeutic techniques has led to an exponential rise in unnecessary tests and procedures. Whole body computed tomography scan for single-system trauma is just one example. Low-value clinical practices, defined as "the common use of a particular intervention when the benefits don't justify the potential harm or cost" consume up to 30% of healthcare budgets. They expose patients to physical and psychological adverse events and put enormous pressure on healthcare budgets, thereby threatening accessible, universal health care. The objective of this research project is to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention targeting reductions in low-value clinical practices for injury admissions. The results of this study should directly lead to improvements in the health systems across Canada and elsewhere. Medium and long-term advantages include an increase in healthcare efficiency and effectiveness, a reduction in costs, an increase in the availability of resources for patients who need them and a reduction in adverse events for patients hospitalized following injury.

The current proposal aims to refine and examine an intervention called Calm Moms. Calm Moms is a web-based treatment program designed to reduce anxiety, stress, and low mood symptoms among pregnant Veterans with a history of trauma exposure. Its contents are based on empirically supported cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques shown to be effective in reducing these symptoms. Further, the Calm Moms program is tailored towards the unique concerns of pregnant women and incorporates information on how to cope with and reduce the impact of trauma. Calm Moms may benefit pregnant Veterans by reducing their anxiety, stress, and low mood symptoms. Additionally, pregnant Veterans who engage in Calm Moms may have improved functioning, reduced impairment during pregnancy, and show increased interest and engagement with additional mental health care. The current proposal also aims to collect information regarding implementation of Calm Moms at additional sites, which will allow Calm Moms to impact a larger group of pregnant Veterans.

Trauma-related guilt is common and impairing among trauma survivors, particularly among Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The investigators' work shows that a brief treatment targeting trauma-related guilt, Trauma Informed Guilt Reduction Therapy (TrIGR), can reduce guilt and PTSD and depression symptoms. Whether TrIGR is no less effective than longer, more resource heavy PTSD treatments disseminated by by VA, like cognitive processing therapy (CPT), is the next critical question that this study will seek to answer. 158 Veterans across two VA sites will be randomized to TrIGR or CPT to evaluate changes in PTSD, depression, guilt and shame symptoms across the two treatments.

Various methods have been studied to evaluate autoregulation. However, there is currently no universally accepted technique to assess integrity of the cerebral autoregulation neurovascular system. In the last decade, significant progress has been achieved in developing methods to assess cerebral autoregulation by quantifying cross-correlation between spontaneous oscillations in CBF or oxygenation and similar oscillations in arterial blood pressure. In this study the investigators will analyze the relationship between spontaneous fluctuations in mean arterial blood pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity or cerebral regional oxygenation to investigate two novel methods for measuring cerebral autoregulation, Transfer Function Analysis and Wavelet Coherence after acute pediatric brain injury.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Trauma/Injury 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 Trauma/Injury 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 Trauma/Injury 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 Trauma/Injury 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 Trauma/Injury 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 Trauma/Injury clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Aerobic Exercise for Head Injuries, Bioengineered Penile Tissue for Penile Damage and Fat Grafting for Burns to the Power online platform.
