The two goals of the proposed study are: (1) To determine how brain activity changes with cognitive recovery over time from acute to chronic phases of traumatic brain injury (TBI). (2) To determine how the time of anodal transcranial electrical stimulation (A-tES) administration affects cognitive performance and brain activity in TBI. To achieve these study goals, the investigators will conduct a pilot clinical trial over three years in which the investigators aim to recruit 60 patients with moderate to severe TBI at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center (UCMC). During the acute phase of TBI, all participants will complete clinical questionnaires and perform 2 cognitive computer tasks while their brain activity is recorded. Half of the participants will be randomly selected to receive A-tES for 15 minutes while performing cognitive tasks and the other half will receive sham stimulation. All participants will be followed for 6 months. During their 3-month follow-up, the investigators will perform another session where all participants complete the questionnaires and receive A-tES while performing cognitive tasks during brain recording. In their last visit at 6 months post-injury, all participants will complete the questionnaires and cognitive tasks with brain recording but no stimulation treatment. From the collected data, the investigators will determine if time from brain injury correlates with brain activity during performance of cognitive tasks. The investigators will also assess the efficacy of early A-tES treatment for improving cognitive task performance and clinical test ratings at 6 months post-injury in comparison to A-tES delivered during the 3-month follow-up visit.

This study has two main goals: 1) to refine and enhance the R2R-TBI intervention; and 2) to examine the efficacy of the R2R-TBI intervention in a randomized control trial. To achieve the second goal, we will employ a between-groups randomized treatment design with repeated measures at baseline, one-month post-randomization, and at a six-month follow-up. The two conditions will be: a) usual medical care plus access to internet resources regarding pediatric brain injury (Internet Resources Comparison group, IRC), and b) usual medical care plus the R2R-TBI intervention (Road-to-Recovery group, R2R-TBI).

This clinical trial will evaluate the effectivness of an Eastern Principles Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention (EPACT) relative to an estabished traditional Western-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention (ACT) and a no treatment control group. The participants for the study will be nurses and nursing aides (NNAs) who work in long-term care settings in the USA and Thailand. The primary dependent variables are work-related injuries, work stress and burnout, wellbeing, musculoskeletal symptoms, time off from work due to injury. High frequency heart rate variability will also be investigated as a predictor of responsiveness to the interventions. The study has three primary aims: 1. To compare the EPACT NNA intervention to an established traditional Western ACT NNA intervention and a no-treatment control group. 2. To identify predictors of ACT NNA and EPACT NNA responsiveness to the interventions and injury likelihood across time. 3. To assess EPACT NNA's feasibility and effectiveness across cultures. USA participants working in Ohio will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: EPACT NNA (n = 80), ACT NNA (n = 80), or a no treatment control group (n = 80). All participants will participate in an assessment session where study questnnaires are completed and a baseline high frequency HRV measurement is collected. Subsequent to the assessment, the EPACT NNA and ACT NNA participants will attend two 2.5 hour sessions spaced one week apart. The control group will have no further in-person meetings with the researchers. One-month after completing the intervention (4 weeks after the baseline assessment) a follow-up survey will be sent to participants for the first follow-up. Three months after baseline, the second follow-up survey will be sent to participants. The surveys assess demographic characteristics, organizational variables, work-related injuries, work stress, and well-being. A second RCT study will be conducted in Thailand comparing EPACT NNA (n = 40) to a no-treatment control group (n = 40) among nurses and nursing aides working in healthcare settings. The same outcome measures and procedures will be used. This research aims to develop a culturally-informed, evidence-based intervention that integrates both Western and Eastern mindfulness principles to address the high rates of work-related injuries among NNAs.

Objectives: The study objective is to carry a pilot clinical assessment comparing the exciflex bandage to standard of care (SoC) for ischemic wounds and will involve participants who are Veterans with lower extremity ischemic wounds. Research Plan: The study will employ a randomized repeated measures design to assess the therapeutic effectiveness of exciflex in clinical use. Methodology: All participants with chronic ischemic wounds treated at LSCDVAMC will be potentially eligible for the study. Primary target populations will include Veterans with SCI who are inpatients or residents of the on-site Long Term Care Unit and Veterans with diabetes being followed by the Podiatry Service for wound care. In addition to meeting the general inclusion criteria noted above, further exclusion criteria relating to clinical factors include; (1)Age less than 18 years and (2)Pregnancy. Clinical Significance: Chronic ischemic wounds fail to heal normally and are a major challenge in the long-term care of many Veterans. The exciflex bandage can improve outcomes and lower cost by automatically delivering electrotherapy without disturbing the wound dressing for up to seven days, unless indicated. The overall study goal is to complete pre-market testing and evaluation of the exciflex bandage system.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a permanent condition affecting every aspect of life including health, daily activities, and participation and quality of life. Persons with SCI are at high risk of pressure injury (PrI) throughout their lives due to loss of sensation, nerve damage and immobility. PrIs are local areas of damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue caused by pressure and shear commonly located over bony prominences. While most PrIs are hospital- or nursing home-acquired, in people with SCI, PrIs typically develop in the community. Community-acquired pressure injuries (CAPrIs) are common, devastating, and costly. This grant proposal will assess how well a decision support tool, called the Community Acquired Pressure Injury Prevention Field Implementation Tool (CAPP-FIT), is used in the clinic and how well it prevents CAPrIs. The CAPP-FIT will be implemented at seven sites across the country in a staggered fashion. The CAPP-FIT includes: 1) an automated Veteran survey to identify risks, actions, and resources needed to prevent CAPrIs and 2) a companion Provider Report immediately available in the electronic health record listing Veteran responses to survey items with recommended evidence-based provider actions. The Veteran survey can be completed via a secured email on the computer or phone. There are three aims in the proposal: Aim 1 is implementing the CAPP-FIT at the seven geographically diverse VA SCI clinics. After CAPP-FIT implementation, each site will determine how the CAPP-FIT will be maintained in clinical practice to support sustainability. Aim 2 assesses how well the CAPP-FIT prevents CAPrIs and CAPrI-associated hospitalizations and assesses provider and Veteran satisfaction. Aim 3 assesses how well the CAPP-FIT is implemented in the SCI clinic.

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."

"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."

The goal of open extremity fracture (OEF) treatment is to promote fracture healing and restore function while preventing the development of infection. This is achieved through systematic and timely wound debridement and irrigation, fracture stabilization, tetanus prophylaxis, systemic and local antimicrobial therapy, and judicious timing of wound closure based on cleanliness. Early prophylactic systemic antibiotics lower infection rates in open fractures but have limitations of achieving adequate concentration at the hypoperfused wound area. OEF wounds are frequently poor in vasculature secondary to the soft tissue injury, hence adequate concentration of antibiotic cannot permeate to the tissue at risk. If systemic antibiotic concentrations are increased to achieve minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for pathogens at the wound, there is heightened concern for systemic drug toxicity. In sharp contrast, locally administered antibiotics achieve high drug concentration directly within the wound cavity with minimal systemic side effects. Local antibiotic therapy has shown to reduce rates of open fracture wound infection. With the serious implications of postoperative infections in OEF, it is imperative that all measures including further use of prophylactic local antibiotics be considered to prevent fracture-related infection (FRI). The overarching hypothesis for this project is that a novel synergistic combination of local aqueous tobramycin plus perioperative weight-based IV cephalosporin antibiotic prophylaxis will reduce the rate of FRI one year after OEF surgery. This in turn will improve OEF patient outcomes, decreasing morbidity and return to the operating room (OR) without any adverse effect on fracture healing. Regardless of the treatment group, bacterial speciation will be determined for patients that do develop FRI to help guide future treatment. The goal is to improve the clinical outcome and recovery of the population that sustains an OEF by decreasing the rate of FRI and fracture nonunions while concurrently educating on bacterial speciation and resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Wound 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 Wound 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 Wound 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 Wound 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 Wound 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 Wound clinical trials?

Most recently, we added NGAL Monitoring for Pediatric Acute Kidney Injury, Intermittent Fasting for Spinal Cord Injury and Autologous Fat-Based Therapy for Scar Tissue to the Power online platform.
