Hysteroscopy (an exam to look inside the uterus) is one of the most frequently performed procedures for patients with cervical or uterine disorders. It is the gold standard for evaluating various intrauterine problems, pre-menopausal and post-menopausal abnormal uterine bleeding, as well as being a vital examination modality for infertility work-up. Although hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, it is still known to be a painful experience that requires effective analgesia (meaning pain reduction) to achieve maximum patient comfort and cooperation. Historically, opioids, particularly fentanyl, have held precedence as the primary agents for providing analgesia following surgery of this type. However, despite their efficacy, these agents come with notable drawbacks, including the potential for serious side effects such as respiratory depression, addiction, and postoperative nausea and vomiting. Both magnesium and ketamine are routinely used to reduce pain following this procedure. Both drugs work on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in the brain to reduce pain, and magnesium has an additional effect in that it can relax smooth muscles. Magnesium has been used successfully to reduce the pain associated with menstrual cramps, which is similar to the pain patients experience after hysteroscopy. A recent study demonstrated the benefits of adding intravenous magnesium with routine anesthesia during hysteroscopy, revealing a significant decrease in postoperative pain and rescue analgesics. However, this study did not compare the effects of magnesium to ketamine, nor did they characterize the nature of the patients' pain. It is unclear if the pain reduction with magnesium comes from its effect on the NMDA receptor or from it's cramp-reduction effect. We seek to establish whether administering IV magnesium, compared to ketamine, can specifically mitigate uterine cramping pain and total opioid consumption in hopes of finding additional safe and effective pain modalities for patients. This is a prospective, randomized trial enrolling participants undergoing an elective hysteroscopy or Dilation and Curettage (D\&C) at Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital in Royal Oak. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatments: Intravenous (IV) Magnesium, IV Push Ketamine, or Placebo. Opioid consumption is recorded via the electronic medical record (EMR), while overall pain and cramping pain will be captured post-procedure in the hospital and 24 hours later via a phone call.

Plant-based milk alternatives (PBMAs) are a popular alternative to cow's milk. The different types of PBMAs on the market shelf include almond, oat, soy, coconut, cashew, pea, hemp, and rice. Among these, PBMA made from almonds, oats and soy are the most popular in North America. Though PBMAs are designed to mimic cow's milk in terms of color, they often have a very different nutrition profile. In order to better substitute for cow's milk, PBMAs often have added vitamins and minerals, as well as added sugars and flavorings to improve flavor. This study will test how well certain nutrients (vitamin D, calcium, potassium, and magnesium) are absorbed by the body after intake of milk and PBMAs. Nutrient absorption will be measured using blood samples after short term intake (from 1 hours to 1 week) of almond, soy, and oat milk, and compare it to cow's milk. Participants in the study will avoid all fluid dairy products and vitamin-D supplemented foods for three weeks and then be asked to consume either almond, soy, oat, or cow's milk for one week. All participants will visit the Clinical Nutrition Research Center (CNRC) four times over the course of about one month. These visits include a screening and pre-study visit (1.5 hrs), a pick-up visit (30 min), one long study day visit (\~11 hours), and two shorter follow up study day visits (1 hr).

Magnesium for Asthma

Hamilton, Ontario
Despite optimal initial emergency department (ED) therapy, 50% of children with severe acute asthma have ongoing moderate-severe respiratory distress. Guidelines recommend intravenous magnesium (IVMg) for them, yet evidence for IVMg efficacy is scant and disparate. While early small Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) suggested hospitalization benefit, recent large observational studies found no association between IVMg and improved outcomes. IVMg therapy is resource-intensive, can cause hypotension and demands close monitoring. Previous RCTs only assessed early Mg effect at 1-2 hours, overlooked the peak effect of key co-interventions such as corticosteroids and did not use validated scores. IVMg use is variable and often delayed until ≥4 hours after ED therapy is started and after the hospitalization decision has been made. Thus, in observational studies children given IVMg are 6-10 times more likely to be hospitalized; these studies have major confounding and the true IVMg treatment effect is thus unknown. To conclusively determine if IVMg alters the exacerbation course, it must be given early, and the primary outcome measure should be the severity of respiratory distress measured at the peak effect of key co-interventions to focus on a clinically meaningful and objective effect. The Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM)-a valid, discriminative, reproducible and responsive-to-change instrument-is thus the ideal primary outcome measure. Hospitalization outcome has major confounding by indication and MD perceptions. Primary Aim: In children with acute asthma remaining in moderate-severe distress after 1 hour of initial ED therapy, is early IVMg therapy associated with a significantly greater improvement in respiratory distress, measured by PRAM, at 3 hours after starting the intervention, compared to placebo? Hypothesis: IVMg will yield significantly greater PRAM improvement of ≥1.0 point than placebo. Expected Outcomes: This trial will clarify if there is an incremental benefit of IVMg in decreasing respiratory distress in pediatric refractory acute asthma. A positive result will establish a proven standard of care for this indication, with a need for Knowledge Translation (KT) to implement routine early IVMg therapy. A negative result will lead to de-implementation of IVMg which may also lead to cost savings.

The purpose of this pilot interventional study is to collect preliminary data on administering magnesium sulfate as a neuroprotective medication in patients who achieved Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) following Cardiac Arrest (CA). The primary aims are to assess the feasibility and safety of administering magnesium and measure serum markers of neuronal injury at prespecified time points in the post-cardiac arrest period. Because this is a pilot study with a limited sample size, the primary objective is to evaluate the precision and stability of the collected measures to inform the design and formal analysis in a larger trial.

Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Endovascular intervention with mechanical thrombectomy has become the standard of care for acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke since multiple clinical trials demonstrated improved long-term clinical outcomes with treatment. However, despite high rates of successful vessel recanalization and thus reperfusion of ischemic brain tissue in current practice, many patients continue to suffer debilitating strokes and poor long-term functional outcome. Pharmacologic neuroprotection could potentially present a means of addressing this mismatch in radiologic vs. clinical outcomes by protecting and salvaging damaged brain tissue. Intra-arterial delivery of a cocktail of neuroprotective therapy at the time of endovascular reperfusion would provide immediate, targeted therapy directly to the damaged brain territory. Hypothermia, minocycline and magnesium can target multiple facets of the complex ischemic injury cascade, and have each demonstrated neuroprotection in multiple preclinical models. This is a phase I trial that aims to demonstrate safety and feasibility of administering cold saline, minocycline, and magnesium sulfate intra-arterially immediately after thrombectomy in stroke interventions.

Magnesium is a naturally occurring mineral that is important for your body and brain. Magnesium sulfate (study drug) is a medication containing magnesium that is commonly used to improve low blood levels of magnesium. Magnesium sulfate has also proven to be successful in managing pain before and after surgery. However, this drug has primarily been used for pain control in patients undergoing surgery. Patients in the ICU with injuries also need good pain control. Using magnesium may assist in decreasing narcotic (pain reliever) requirements and provide another non-narcotic drug for pain control. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of continuous, intravenous (into or within a vein using a needle) administration of magnesium sulfate for pain control in trauma patients admitted to the adult Intensive Care Unit. This will be compared to intravenous normal saline (salt solution).

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do 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 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 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 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 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 clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Magnesium for Asthma, Magnesium and Ketamine for Post-Operative Pain After Hysteroscopy and Magnesium for Cardiac Arrest to the Power online platform.
