Swallowing Exercises for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Cleveland, Ohio
This study has two parts: an observational part and an interventional part. The goal of the observational part of the study is to look for variations in swallowing in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and in adults who don't snore. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are there differences in swallowing between people with OSA and people who don't snore? * Are there differences in swallowing between people with OSA who do well with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy and those who struggle with CPAP? This may help us better understand what causes OSA, which may help us develop alternate ways to treat or even prevent OSA. It may also help us improve care for people with OSA who struggle with CPAP. Participants will be aged 40-60 years, except women up to the age of 70 will be included in the healthy control (non-snorer) group. Participants will: * Undergo a type of x-ray study called a modified barium swallow study (MBS) * Come to MetroHealth Medical Center for a measurement visit to: * assess the strength of their tongue, lips, and cheeks * assess the strength of their breathing muscles * assess for restrictions in tongue mobility (tongue ties) * observe their resting breathing * take photos of their mouth and posture * take videos of them drinking and eating * Complete some questionnaires * For successful CPAP users: we will download data from the chip in their CPAP device * Do a home sleep test (except for successful CPAP users who have had a recent in-lab sleep test) The goal of the interventional part of the study is to test swallowing exercises in people ages 40-60 years with OSA who struggle with CPAP. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can swallowing exercises help people who struggle with CPAP sleep better with CPAP? Participants will: * Try to use CPAP for 2 weeks with individualized support * Do all the investigations listed in the observational part of the study * Do one or two courses of swallowing exercises, each of which would last 7 weeks. Participants will be asked to do daily exercises; exercises will take 20-30 minutes to perform. * Try to use CPAP for 2 weeks after the course of exercises * Repeat the investigations listed in the observational part of the study to see if changes occurred with the swallowing exercise intervention.

SPARS Rehabilitation Program for Rotator Cuff Injury

Toronto, Ontario
Physical therapy is essential for the successful rehabilitation of common shoulder injuries and following shoulder surgery. Patients may receive some training and supervision for shoulder physiotherapy through private pay or private insurance, but they are typically responsible for performing most of their physiotherapy independently at home. It is unknown how often patients perform their home exercises, if these exercises are done correctly without supervision, and how poor adherence might impact recovery. The investigators have recently developed a Smart Physiotherapy Activity Recognition System (SPARS) for tracking home shoulder physiotherapy exercises using sensors in a commercial smart watch and artificial intelligence (AI). SPARS was successful in identifying shoulder exercises in healthy adults in the laboratory setting, and in patients undergoing physiotherapy for rotator cuff pathology. Further inquiry is required to establish the clinical effectiveness of this technology for tracking and improving patient engagement, and to investigate the potential individual impacts of its use.

AI Monitoring for Physiotherapy After Rotator Cuff Injury

Toronto, Ontario
An important part of recovery for shoulder injuries, is sticking to the exercise regimen that is prescribed by a physiotherapist. Currently, there is no proper way to measure whether patients are correcting doing their prescribed exercises at home. Researchers at Sunnybrook have tested out a Smart Physiotherapy Recognition System (SPARS), which consists of a watch that patients can wear while they are performing their physiotherapy exercises. The watch aims to learn how the exercises are done correctly when worn during supervised physiotherapy sessions, and then to record and compare whether those same exercises are being done correctly in a home setting. The main objectives of this study aims to test whether the SPARS system can effectively measure whether physiotherapy exercises are being done properly when they are done without physiotherapist supervision. Secondly, to examine whether the recovery process after shoulder injuries is improved if patients perform the physiotherapy exercises correctly.

Early Speech and Swallowing Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer

Toronto, Ontario
Oral cavity cancer (OCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with tongue cancer being one of the most common subtypes. Patients with oral cancers can experience painful swallowing, swallowing difficulty (dysphagia), and associated weight loss long after surgery. Not only is dysphagia an independent predictor of quality of life (QoL) in cancer survivorship, it can also have a devastating impact on the health of patients resulting from complications such as pneumonia, malnutrition and feeding tube dependence. Emerging evidence suggests that patients undergoing surgery benefit from engaging with speech-language pathologists (SLPs) before problems arise, to learn swallow strategies that may become useful in their rehabilitation. This in turn has the potential to reduce complications and minimize the length of feeding tube dependency. This study will assess the feasibility of conducting a prospective clinical trial that would evaluate the effects on patient health, function and overall benefit of early and systematic SLP speech and swallowing intervention for head and neck cancer patients planned for curative surgical treatment. We will also assess long-term changes in select clinical and patient-reported outcomes comparing their status before, and one month after, treatment.

Bevacizumab for Respiratory Warts

Bethesda, Maryland
Background: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare disease that causes wart-like growths in the airways. These growths come back when removed; some people may need 2 or more surgeries per year to keep their airways clear. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To see if a drug called bevacizumab can reduce the number of surgeries needed in people with RRP. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older with recurrent RRP; they must need surgery to remove the growths in their airways. Design: Participants will be screened. Their ability to breathe and speak will be evaluated. They will have an endoscopy: a flexible tube with a light and camera will be inserted into their nose and throat. They will have a test of their heart function and imaging scans of their chest. Participants will have surgery to remove the growths in their airways. Bevacizumab is given through a small tube placed in a vein in the arm. After the surgery, participants will receive 11 doses of this drug: every 3 weeks for 3 doses, and then every 6 weeks for 8 more doses. They will come to the clinic for each dose; each visit will be about 8 hours. Tissue samples of the growths will be collected after the second treatment; this will be done under general anesthesia. Participants may undergo apheresis: Blood will be drawn from a needle in an arm. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the cells needed for the study. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a second needle. Follow-up will continue for 1 year after the last treatment.

Speech Therapy for Aphasia

Columbia, South Carolina
After a stroke, many people experience a language impairment called aphasia. One of the most debilitating types of aphasia is non-fluent aphasia. Non-fluent aphasia is defined by significantly reduced speech production, with the speaker producing only a few words or even less. Speech entrainment therapy (SET) is a treatment that has been shown to increase fluency in people with non-fluent aphasia. The study looks to define the best dose of SET that leads to sustained improvements in spontaneous speech production. Participants who are eligible will undergo baseline language testing, an MRI, and will be randomized into one of 4 treatment groups: SET for 3 weeks, SET for 4.5 weeks, SET for 6 weeks, and no treatment (control group).

Intention Treatment for Aphasia

Decatur, Georgia
Every year approximately 15,000 Veterans are hospitalized for stroke, and up to 40% of those Veterans will experience stroke-related language impairment (i.e., aphasia). Stroke-induced aphasia results in increased healthcare costs and decreased quality of life. As the population of Veterans continues to age, there will be an increasing number for Veterans living with the aphasia and its consequences. Those Veterans deserve to receive aphasia treatment designed to facilitate the best possible outcomes. In the proposed study, the investigators will investigate optimal treatment intensity and predictors of treatment response for a novel word retrieval treatment. The knowledge the investigators gain will have direct implications for the selecting the right treatment approach for the right Veteran.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation Exercise for Myasthenia Gravis

Columbia, Missouri
During this pilot study, the investigators will examine the effects of whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise (WB-EMS Exercise) on neuromuscular junction (NMJ) transmission and fatigability in adults with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG). The investigators will also test whether a relationship exists between NMJ transmission dysfunction and fatigability in gMG, which has long been presumed but never directly assessed. Participants will undergo clinical and electrophysiologic testing before and after the WB-EMS Exercise intervention. The WB-EMS Exercise intervention will be delivered 2 times per week for 4 weeks. Long-term follow up is optional. The hypotheses are (a) that the WB-EMS exercise will improve fatigability and NMJ transmission, and (b) that NMJ transmission dysfunction is related to fatigability.

Stem Cell Therapy for Septic Shock

Ottawa, Ontario
Septic shock is associated with substantial burden in terms of both mortality and morbidity for survivors of this illness. Pre-clinical sepsis studies suggest that mesenchymal stem (stromal) cells (MSCs) modulate inflammation, enhance pathogen clearance and tissue repair and reduce death. Our team has completed a Phase I dose escalation and safety clinical trial that evaluated MSCs in patients with septic shock. The Cellular Immunotherapy for Septic Shock Phase I (CISS) trial established that MSCs appear safe and that a randomized controlled trial (RCT) is feasible. Based on these data, the investigators have planned a phase II RCT (UC-CISS II) at several Canadian academic centres which will evaluate intermediate measures of clinical efficacy (primary outcome), as well as biomarkers, safety, clinical outcome measures, and a health economic analysis (secondary outcomes).

Ukulele Playing for Multiple Sclerosis

Austin, Texas
Over the past 10 years, the rates of multiple sclerosis (MS) have nearly doubled in the United States. This chronic, neuroinflammatory, and neurodegenerative disease is most often diagnosed between the ages of 20-40. Cognitive impairment effects up to 70% of people with MS (PwMS) and has a detrimental impact on mental health, social connections, and employment. Further, up to 50% of PwMS also struggle with depression. Numerous cognitive rehabilitation programs are available to address cognitive impairment, but few interventions have simultaneous effects on cognition and emotional well-being. Music interventions have potential to fill this gap. Brain imaging studies on music and emotion show that music can modulate activity in the brains structures that are known to be crucially involved in emotion. Further, music engages areas of the brain that are involved with paying attention, making predictions, and updating events in our memory. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of an online musical training intervention (MTI) for PwMS and explore the potential effect on cognition, psychosocial, and functional well-being compared to an active control group (music listening (ML)). The specific aims are to: 1) determine the feasibility and acceptability of delivering the MTI virtually over three months to PwMS; 2) evaluate the effect of the MTI on cognitive functioning (processing speed, working memory, cognitive flexibility, response inhibition), psychosocial (anxiety, depression, stress, quality of life, self-efficacy) and functional (insomnia) well-being compared to ML; and 3) (exploratory aim) to utilize non-invasive neuroimaging to determine if pre-intervention brain activity predicts post-intervention cognitive functioning.

Multicomponent Language Treatment for Primary Progressive Aphasia

Austin, Texas
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a progressive neurological disorder that causes a gradual decline in communication ability as a result of selective neurodegeneration of speech and language networks in the brain. PPA is a devastating condition affecting adults as young as in their 50's, depriving them of the ability to communicate and function in society. As a result of improved diagnostic precision, PPA is now identified with greater accuracy and frequency and, increasingly, patients and their families seek options for behavioral treatments to ameliorate the devastating effects on their communication, prolong speech language skills, and maximize quality of life. Speech-language treatment outcomes from our group and others are encouraging, confirming that behavioral intervention may lead to improvements in trained behaviors and, for some interventions, lasting and generalized benefit. Most speech-language interventions for individuals with PPA that have been explored in the literature are restitutive, or impairment-based in nature, and have not addressed the full range of severity and phenotypic variability in this population. The investigators will evaluate the utility of a novel, multicomponent intervention that incorporates elements of restitutive (e.g., word finding strategic training, script training), compensatory (e.g., multimodal communication, communication book), and care partner-focused treatment to meet the needs of individuals varying in clinical presentation and severity.

Microfracture vs ADSC for Knee Cartilage Repair

Denver, Colorado
The purpose of this study is to compare two biologic methods for the treatment of articular cartilage defects in the knee. The first method, microfracture, is the standard of care and is routinely used to recruit cells from the subchondral bone marrow to the site of cartilage loss. The second method is the application of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) to the defect site. In theory, ADSCs on a collagen scaffold should enable the delivery of more specific progenitor cells to the site of injury, resulting in better regeneration and integration of articular cartilage at the site of a defect as compared to the microfracture method.

VR Speech-Language Therapy for Speech Disorders

Edmonton, Alberta
Factors related to successful rehabilitation are often directly related to adherence; for instance, dosage, frequency, and intensity can burden the patient regarding time and motivational factors. Furthermore, surrounding salience, patients may lose interest or find an intervention boring after a few sessions. It is well documented that nonadherence not only impacts rehabilitation for the patient but can also further prolong treatment, and increase hospital and clinician costs, in addition to a higher prevalence of future comorbidities. Therefore, strategies that improve patient adherence can significantly help optimize patient care and treatment outcomes. One avenue to increase patient adherence is through the gamification of rehabilitation therapies using virtual reality (VR). Gamification of rehabilitation therapy can make mass practice required in rehabilitation therapies seemingly fun and more personally engaging for the patient. Additionally, the immersive experience achieved through VR can further promote salience and be customizable to individual patient requirements. As VR systems are now highly portable and relatively simple to utilize, they can provide an excellent opportunity to continue rehabilitation practice on the home front. Overall, the VR gamification of rehabilitation may increase adherence by shifting patients' perspectives of therapy as tedious, boring, or a hassle, to a fun and engaging game that ultimately helps their recovery processes. The GlenXRose VR-delivered speech-language therapies (Cognitive Projections Lab, University of Alberta) have been developed and piloted in collaboration with the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital with the overall goal of increasing patient adherence, treatment outcomes, and satisfaction with vocal therapy. The proposed studies are to investigate the feasibility of implementing this technology in routine clinical care (specific to voice disorders), obtaining clinician feedback, examining associated financial costs, and continuing to examine the effect of the GlenXRose VR speech-language therapies on patient adherence and clinical outcomes, compared to traditional clinical care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Pathology 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 Pathology 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 Pathology 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 Pathology 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 Pathology 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 Pathology clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added Swallowing Exercises for Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Placental Membrane Products for Foot and Leg Ulcers and Amniotic Tissue Treatments for Diabetic Foot Ulcers to the Power online platform.
