People with knee arthritis often experience constant pain, and current treatments aren't very effective. This can lead to limited movement and more health problems. Knee arthritis is a big part of healthcare costs in Canada, and its pain is a major reason people see doctors. The pain is linked to complex nervous system changes, making current treatments, like exercise, not very successful. To address this, researchers suggest a new approach combining two things: a brain stimulation technique called Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and yoga. TDCS helps with pain by changing how the brain works, and yoga, a safe practice, focuses on overall well-being. Together, the investigators aim to improve how the nervous system works from top to bottom. The research project wants to change how the arthritis pain is being managed by focusing on how it works. The investigators plan to test this combo in a study comparing real tDCS plus yoga with fake tDCS plus yoga. The investigators will look not only at pain but also at other measures related to pain and how the nervous system works. This new mix could be a meaningful way to reduce pain for people with knee arthritis.

This study aims to produce new evidence, specific to women, on the efficacy and mechanisms of exercise and diet for cardiometabolic risk reduction in pre and postmenopausal women. Using a 3-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) with equal recruitment and stratification by menopausal status to 6 months of: 1) exercise following Health Canada guidelines; 2) the same exercise plus counselling to follow Canada's Dietary Guidelines to improve diet quality; or 3) stretching group, this study will answer the following questions: * How does the impact of exercise compare among each of the causal links between physical inactivity and cardiometabolic disease in women? * What is the effect modification of adding a diet quality intervention to exercise? * What is the effect modification by menopausal status? The investigators hypothesize that exercise adaptations will be: 1) largest peripherally, including Matsuda index (primary outcome), Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), arteriovenous oxygen difference (avO2diff), and visceral fat, compared to centrally (stroke volume (SV), endothelial function, aortic stiffness), 2) blunted or absent in post vs premenopause; 3) enhanced by the addition of diet quality which will be essential or additive for Matsuda index, metabolic syndrome, Framingham cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, cytokines and adipokines, thigh myosteatosis, muscle mass, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), 4) enhanced by adding diet quality in more outcomes postmenopause.

This study aims to produce new evidence on the efficacy of exercise and diet for cardiometabolic risk reduction in BC survivors. Using a 3-arm RCT with to 6 months of 1) exercise following Health Canada guidelines; 2) the same exercise plus counselling to follow Canada's Dietary Guidelines to improve diet quality; or 3) stretching group, this study will answer the following questions: * What is the impact of exercise on cardiometabolic health and body composition in BC survivors? * What is the effect modification of adding a diet quality intervention to exercise on cardiometabolic health and body composition? * Is there a link between the capacity of skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise (and diet) and insulin resistance in BC survivors? The investigators hypothesize that: 1) exercise will improve cardiometabolic and body composition outcomes 2) improvements in cardiometabolic outcomes will be enhanced by the addition of diet quality, which will be essential or additive for Matsuda index, metabolic syndrome, Framingham CVD risk, thigh myosteatosis, muscle mass, VO2peak, 3) skeletal muscle insulin signalling transduction will be impaired in BC survivors via dampened expression of insulin-responsive proteins (e.g. GLUT4) and co-occur with impaired muscle quality (e.g., higher rates of fat depots, presence of fibrous tissue) negatively impacting insulin signalling.

Yoga for Scoliosis

Baltimore, Maryland
The Problem: Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), the pre-eminent spinal pathology affecting over 5% of children and adolescents, presents a pronounced spinal curvature exceeding 10 degrees, with prevalence amongst female adolescents at a ratio of 3:1 compared to males. A significant portion of these patients are not immediate candidates for surgical intervention. The acute shortage of viable non-operative management strategies, which is becoming increasingly imperative given the current barriers to physical therapy access and the growing opioid crisis. The investigator's research intends to explore the addition of a structured yoga protocol to standard of care. This research will thus explore the potential for improved relief and quality-of-life improvements for AIS patients not ready for surgery. Significance: AIS is a pervasive condition which correlates with chronic and episodic lower back pain, diminished sleep quality, and depressive symptoms. This extensive comorbid association coupled with the financial pressure to patients and the healthcare system cannot be understated. Needs Statement: There is a lack of sufficient non-operative management options for AIS. Many patients face limited access and require supplementary management strategies to address the patient's conditions effectively, creating a significant unmet need for non-pharmacological pain management interventions. This need is further highlighted in the context of the escalating opioid crisis, a leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults. Hypothesis: The introduction of a structured yoga protocol can serve as a non-inferior or even superior alternative to traditional standard of care i management of AIS, addressing both the physical and psychosocial aspects intertwined with the condition. IMPACT: Change in Problem Significance: This research trial aims to enhance current standard of care for patients grappling with AIS. If the trial demonstrates superiority of yoga, it will delineate a paradigm shift in the current care standards for AIS patients, fostering a move towards a more cost-effective and holistic approach. Yoga could help alleviate the burdens on the healthcare system by reducing costs and enhancing accessibility for patients. Improvement in Pediatric Orthopedics Practice: By paving the way for non-pharmacological interventions, the trial aspires to mitigate the reliance on opioids for pain management in the pediatric demographic, therefore promoting overall well-being. This project not only seeks to develop alternative pain management strategies amidst a growing opioid epidemic but also champions the cause of improving the quality of life for the pediatric population battling chronic conditions like AIS. It echoes the urgent call to innovate and expand upon the current strategies in place, steering the medical community towards a future where integrative approaches are not the exception but the norm. Ultimately, this research aspires to guide the trajectory of pediatric orthopedics towards a healthcare system that is more inclusive, accessible, and holistically oriented, thereby enhancing the quality of life for pediatric patients grappling with conditions like AIS. 2. Objectives (include all primary and secondary objectives) Goals/Objectives: To create a randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of yoga in conjunction with standard of care treatments for AIS patients. SPECIFIC AIMS Aim 1: Evaluate the feasibility and challenges of implementing a yoga protocol for AIS patients. Methodology: Online class attendance, survey completions, and follow-up appointments. Anticipated Results: Adequate participant adherence and data reliability. Aim 2: Compare clinical outcomes between patients who receive traditional care modalities versus those who added yoga to treatment plan. Methodology: Utilize validated tools such as the SRS-22 questionnaire and monitor outcomes including depression scale, sleep quality, analgesic usage, activity levels, and Cobb angle. Anticipated Results: Significant physical and psychological improvements in the yoga group.

Mindfulness for Stress Reduction

Albuquerque, New Mexico
The long-term goal of this study is to develop a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) program to reduce stress and burnout while increasing belongingness and connectedness among faculty and staff at the University of New Mexico (UNM) College of Nursing (CON). The central hypothesis is that the MBI intervention will improve psychosocial outcomes (sense of belonging) and physiological outcomes (heart rate variability, HRV) among CON faculty and staff. The specific aims are to: Aim 1: Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of MBIs (meditation or yoga) through participant interviews, recruitment, retention, and adherence rates. Aim 2: Assess the preliminary effects of MBIs on psychosocial (burnout, stress, anxiety, sense of belonging) and physiological (HRV) outcomes. The hypothesis predicts improvements in both psychosocial and physiological measures post-intervention. Researchers will compare meditation to yoga to see if one improves psychosocial and physiological outcomes better that the other. Participants will be asked to: * participate in meditation or yoga two times per week * complete surveys * use an app on their phone to answer short surveys * wear a smart device

High blood pressure is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Traditionally, one of the ways to treat or prevent high blood pressure is to prescribe aerobic exercise training (i.e. brisk walking). Stretching may also be effective because it may cause changes in blood vessel stiffness and therefore reduce resistance to blood flow. The study will assess a group of individuals (i.e. 96) participating in a supervised stretching or walking program five days per week for six months to determine whether stretching is superior for reducing blood pressure. This research will contribute to recommendations about the most effective exercise programs for reducing blood pressure and risk of cardiovascular disease.

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."

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 Yoga for Persistent Post-Surgical Pain, Yoga vs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Chronic Pain and Yoga for Overactive Bladder to the Power online platform.
