Clinical Trials

Do you have low blood pressure due to primary autonomic failure or multiple system atrophy? Autonomic failure is caused by problems with a part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system. People with these conditions can suffer debilitating low blood pressure upon standing. This study is testing the use of compression garments to improve blood pressure in people with these conditions. To participate in this study, you must be between 40 and 80 years old and have low blood pressure when standing. This study takes place in Nashville, Tennessee.

Are you older than 40 and have a history of peripheral artery disease (PAD)? This study will examine whether the drug rivaroxaban improves symptoms associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD). To participate in this study, you must be at least 40 years old and have a history of PAD. This study takes place in Nashville, Tennessee.

Are you between 65 and 85 years old and are a patient at Stanford? This study will evaluate the effect of an electronic health record (EHR) screening tool on rates of new noninvasive testing, diagnosis, and treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) over a 6-month period. The EHR-based screening tool will generate a group of patients at the highest risk of having undiagnosed PAD to participate in the study. To participate in this study, you must be between 65 and 85 years old, have at least 1 year of data with the Stanford EHR, and have no prior diagnosis of PAD. This study takes place in Palo Alto, California.

Are you a healthy adult between 40 and 90 years old and willing to help research? This study will test whether a new device called the OsciPulse system, which is designed to repeatedly compress a person’s legs, can improve blood flow through the legs to prevent or treat varicose veins. To participate in this study, you must be 40 to 90 years old and healthy. This study takes place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Has your child been treated for an asthma attack with an oral corticosteroid medicine in the last 12 months? A study team will recruit 60 teens and young adults (between 12 and 21 years old) with persistent asthma who are at high risk for future exacerbation. This study examines the contribution of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), a protein that is involved in the inflammatory response, in asthma flare-ups. This study takes place in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Are you an adult with asthma, and do you want to help researchers understand how asthma may affect the brain health? This study is examining whether long-term asthma complications are associated with brain structure, function, or cognitive function. In people with asthma, allergens can induce airway inflammation, which activates several cell types that could negatively affect the brain over time. Results from this study may shed light on whether there is a connection between brain health and asthma. To participate in this study, you must be between 18 and 50 years old. This study takes place in Madison, Wisconsin.

Are you the parent or caregiver of a 12- to 15-year-old child with asthma who uses an inhaled corticosteroid to treat symptoms? This study is testing whether a mobile health tool, called AIM2ACT, can help adolescents and their caregivers manage symptoms of asthma. To participate in this study, you must be between 18 and 70 years old. This study takes place in Gainesville, Florida.

Are you an adult with moderate to severe asthma? Researchers are testing whether inhaling hypertonic saline (a saline solution with more salt) can help move mucus out of the lungs in people with asthma. To participate in this study, you must be between 18 and 60 years old and vaccinated against COVID-19. This study takes place in New York, New York.

Are you an adult with severe asthma who plans to have bronchial thermoplasty treatment? This study is using a new imaging technique, called optical coherence tomography, to examine the airways in people with asthma before and after a treatment called bronchial thermoplasty. This treatment is minimally invasive and reduces asthma symptoms by using heat to shrink smooth muscle within the lungs. To participate in this survey, you must be between 18 and 60 years old. This study takes place in Boston, Massachusetts.

Are you an adult with asthma who is being treated with therapeutic proteins or is interested in trying this treatment? This study investigates the use of a treatment using therapeutic proteins in people with asthma and seeks to determine whether its use can lower inflammation in patients. To participate in this study, you must be between 18 and 80 years old. This study takes place in San Francisco, California.
