Columbus, Ohio
Driving a car is the most dangerous behavior most people engage in every day. According to the World Health Organization, about 1.25 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes, and they are the leading cause of death among 15 to 29 year olds. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 37,461 Americans were killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2016 - about 103 per day. Although there are several causes of traffic crashes (e.g., texting, alcohol consumption, inclement weather), the leading cause is aggressive driving. In the United States, aggressive driving accounts for more than half of all traffic fatalities. Thus, aggressive driving is an important applied health topic, especially for young drivers.

Dance Classes for Alzheimer's Disease
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
The purpose of this research study is to study the effects of dance movement and music on memory and cardiorespiratory fitness in older adults who are concerned about memory loss.

Participants will be people 65 years or older who are concerned about their memory, but do not yet have a diagnosis of cognitive impairment. If a participant is deemed qualified to participate, he/she will be placed into one of four groups and will attend 1, 2, or 3 group or music appreciation classes per week for 24 weeks (6 months). In addition to attending the group classes, participants will be asked to complete at least four study visits at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center to complete various clinical assessments, including a brain MRI.

Music Therapy for Premature Infants
New Haven, Connecticut
The investigators are conducting a two-site randomized control trial with the aim of defining the impact of music (M) without or with parent voice (MPV) on very preterm infants' acute and cumulative stress, intranetwork connectivity on term brain MRI, and language and other neurodevelopmental outcomes at two years corrected age. This is based on the hypothesis that infants in MPV arm are expected to experience the greatest benefit compared with infants receiving standard care.

Music for Chronic Pain
Montreal, Quebec
Intravenous (IV) ketamine is a treatment option for patients with chronic pain that does not respond to standard therapies, primarily working by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain. Beyond pain relief, ketamine can produce dissociative sensations, classifying it as an atypical psychedelic or mind-altering drug, and may enable patients to reprocess their pain similarly to experiences with traditional psychedelics. At the Montreal General Hospital's pain clinic, the investigators have observed patients frequently listening to music during ketamine infusions, and recent research indicates that music-especially when self-selected by patients-might provide additional pain-relieving benefits by influencing central mechanisms related to pain perception and interpretation. This intersection of music and pain relief is garnering substantial scientific interest as recent advances provide more insight into the neuroscience of music and its effects on brain regions involved in emotion, sensation, memory, and pain.
This study aims to investigate the effects of music on chronic pain patients undergoing IV ketamine infusions at the Alan Edwards Pain Management Unit (AEPMU), specifically to determine whether the choice of music affects the intensity and duration of ketamine-induced pain relief. During the infusion (lasting 1 hour), patients will listen to a playlist delivered through specialized headphones, which will either consist of their own selected music (preferred music), music chosen by a music therapist, or no music at all, in a randomized order. Patients will track their pain levels throughout the infusion period and in the intervals between treatments (5 weeks) using standardized pain assessment tools. Additionally, the investigators will assess the subjective experiences of ketamine through interviews and qualitative analysis, while documenting and summarizing any adverse effects.
The investigators hypothesize that listening to preferred music will enhance both the intensity and duration of pain relief from IV ketamine. To test this, the investigators will recruit patients already receiving repeated IV ketamine infusions for pain management at the AEPMU clinic. The first infusion will take place under usual conditions to establish a baseline. The infusions will occur in a dedicated room equipped with audio technology to ensure an immersive music experience.

Music for Labor Experience
Boston, Massachusetts
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if music use affects anxiety or pain levels in parturients admitted to labor and delivery. It will also learn about the effect of music use on patient satisfaction. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does music use affect anxiety levels in parturients admitted to labor and delivery? Does music use affect pain levels in parturients admitted to labor and delivery? Does music use affect patient satisfaction in parturients admitted to labor and delivery?
Researchers will compare music to a control (no music) to see if music affects anxiety levels in parturients admitted to labor and delivery.
Participants will:
Listen to music or listen to no music for a 10 minute duration in the labor and delivery unit.
Answer questions about anxiety and pain levels at a few different timepoints. Have information collected from medical charts (vital signs and cervical dilation).
Rate their satisfaction with care.

Why Other Patients Applied
"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."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

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 Music for Pediatric Glaucoma, Music for Chronic Pain and Music Therapy for Premature Infants to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
