Pelvic floor dysfunction is commonly seen in the postpartum women with symptoms including urinary urgency and frequency, urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence. Pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) and home biofeedback devices have been shown to improve pelvic floor symptoms in postpartum and non-postpartum populations, respectively. This randomized noninferiority clinical trial will assess urinary incontinence-related quality of life in postpartum women with self-reported urinary incontinence who are randomized to a program of home biofeedback or pelvic floor physical therapy.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different treatment patterns in patients with chronic bladder pain. The main questions the investigators are seeking to answer is if bladder pain improves before and after treatment using a painful bladder scale. The participant will have 5 visits to evaluate your symptoms with questionnaires, at least one procedural visit, and must participate in physical therapy and some kind of behavioral health therapy. This study will assess participant response to a bundled-care approach to chronic bladder pain both pre-and post intervention as well as compared to a group of participants receiving typical care.

Women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) have debilitating urinary frequency and urgency, and chronic pelvic or bladder pain perceived to be related to the bladder. Although many clinicians think that IC/BPS symptoms result from a bladder problem, tight pelvic floor muscles can cause similar symptoms and might be responsible for ICBPS symptoms instead of the bladder. Inadequate assessment of the problem leads to delays in treatment and often years of suffering. This clinical trial will test a bladder directed therapy (bladder instillations) compared to a course of pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) to assess the role of the pelvic floor as a major contributor to pelvic pain and voiding dysfunction in adult women with non-ulcerative IC/BPS. Early assessment of the pelvic floor muscles in patients with IC/BPS symptoms may prevent common delays in proper diagnosis and allow for early, more effective treatment.

Hip pathologies that cause pain and functional limitations are common in the general population. These can include femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears and mild osteoarthritis (OA) among others. While more severe and symptomatic cases may require surgical intervention, the treatment of mild-to-moderate cases is often treated without surgery to relieve pain, improve function, and delay surgical intervention. Non-operative treatments of hip pathologies consist of a multitude of options. A common non-operative intervention includes intra-articular injections, including corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid. Evidence has demonstrated that corticosteroids have fast acting effects which tend to diminish within a few months, while hyaluronic acid has a delayed time of onset and demonstrates clinical benefit for a longer period of time. Studies have evaluated combinations of corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid, hoping to take advantage of the fast-acting relief of corticosteroid and the longer lasting benefits of corticosteroid. Physiotherapy is also a frequent non-operative intervention used to relieve pain and increase function in patients with hip pathologies. While many studies have looked at intra-articular injections and physiotherapy as independent non-operative possibilities for hip conditions, the combined effect of these two have not received much evaluation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of physiotherapy in conjunction with a combined corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid intraarticular injection on patient outcomes when compared to a corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid intraarticular injection alone.

Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a severe pain condition affecting 3-8 million people in the United States lacking treatments that work. Emotional suffering is common in IC/BPS and known to make physical symptoms worse, and studies show patient sub-groups respond differently to treatment. Individuals with IC/BPS have distinct subgroups, or "phenotypes," largely characterized by the distribution of pain throughout the body. Supported by our preliminary evidence, the overall goal of this project is to assess how IC/BPS phenotype may affect response to two different therapies often given without regard to patient phenotype, pelvic floor physical therapy (PT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for IC/BPS.

This trial aims to test a new treatment for adults with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a severe chronic pain condition. The treatment involves an injection near the shoulder to block pain signals, followed by a program of physical exercises. Researchers hope this combination will be more effective than exercises alone in reducing pain and improving function.

This trial is testing a program where health experts help patients with obesity and severe osteoarthritis manage their weight and improve their health while they wait for joint replacement surgery. The goal is to provide comprehensive support to improve their overall well-being during the waiting period.

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 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."

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

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.
