The goal of this research is to combine non-invasive brain and sensory nerve stimulation to investigate their influence on hand function. Many adults with hemiplegic CP no longer actively receive therapies but have further hand goals they want to achieve. The information we learn from this study may help us learn how to design future interventions to help…
Standing postural control, or the ability to maintain an upright posture, is needed for most daily activities. People with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) may find it challenging to maintain postural control and therefore, have difficulty moving between positions, such as lying down or sitting up, or reaching for objects that are beyond an arm's distance…
This is a prospective, single-center, single-blind, two-arm, 1:1 randomized clinical trial. Patients who have undergone successful elective PCI will be screened with a lipid profile and eligible patients will be enrolled. Non-eligible patients will be enrolled in a registry. Randomization will be stratified by baseline LDL-C level and current statin therapy…
This is a Prospective, multicenter, randomized, parallel-controlled, open-label two-arm trial with an adaptive design that will randomize about 1252 subjects at approximately 120 US and international centers. The study is looking to see if a device called the Impella device will improve the way the heart works as well as if health is improved as compared to…
The primary objective is to demonstrate that physiologically-guided stenting using the Philips SyncVision iFR co-registration is superior with respect to clinical outcomes compared to PCI guided by angiography alone. Secondary objectives include: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of physiology guidance with SyncVision compared to a standard of care PCI…
The purpose of this study is to find out if the study medicine called EDIT-301 will help in the treatment of Severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and how safe it is to be used in people. EDIT-301 (study medicine) is a new investigational therapy which uses the patient's own stem cells, modifies them by CRISPR technology, and infuses them back to the…
We are looking for adults with diverse cultural backgrounds who are formal caregivers of older adults with functional or mobility limitations. We are conducting a research study to investigate how participating in an online discussion forum called a Community of Practice (CoP) helps increase caregiver competence for caregivers of diverse cultural…
This program aims to help improve adult caregivers of stroke survivors ability to care for their stroke survivors with their daily needs. Each session will cover different topics which are important for caregivers to understand in order to best engage in their new role. Topics will include, but are not limited to: bathing, toileting, dressing, transfers,…
The purpose of this study is to learn about whether the study drug (PF-07209326) is safe and effective in people with sickle cell disease and learn about what the right dose is. We will look at drug levels in the blood, see how fast drug levels rise and fall, and what effects the drug has, all of which are known as the pharmacokinetics (PK) and…
This study is trying to determine if using a Dynamic Coronary Roadmap (which is a software used along with an x-ray imaging system) reduces the total iodine contrast volume per Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) procedure compared to procedures performed without Dynamic Coronary Roadmap. This X-ray system provides imaging support while directing the…
The purpose of this study is to: 1. Determine if a tele-rehabilitation home exercise program is helpful in promoting adherence to an exercise program in adults with CP and 2. to determine if a tele-health exercise program improves fitness and functional mobility in adults with CP. This study involves participation in a 10-week remote (Zoom) program to…
Ambulatory youth with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 8-16 years old are invited to participate in a virtual reality (VR) game play session to learn about youth motivation and satisfaction with VR to promote fitness and mobility. The session will be approximately 2 hours and will be conducted in the Programs in Physical Therapy (PT) PACE Lab @ 617 W. 168th St.,…
We are looking for adults with cerebral palsy who are 18 and over for ultrasound study of nerves at the wrist. We are assessing the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in adults with cerebral palsy. The study will involve a survey to describe their medical history, procedures (especially of the arms), use of adaptive equipment (such as walkers, wheelchairs…
This study has been designed to treat patient with coronary artery disease and demonstrate the superiority of the OCT device used to select and guide the stenting procedure when collecting images and flow measures inside the blocked artery.
This is a research study designed to look at the safety and effectiveness of the TriGUARD 3 cerebral embolic protection device in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The purpose of the study is to assess whether the TriGUARD 3 can prevent death, stroke, more subtle signs of brain injury, and/or silent brain injury as measured…
This study is being done to see if giving your child a lower dose of chemotherapy (drug therapy), than has been used historically in bone marrow transplant, to kill his/her own diseased cells before he/she receives a bone marrow transplant, will possibly result in the permanent control of your child's sickle cell disease. Patients will receive busulfan…
Abnormal muscle tightness -known as spasticity- in the leg can happen when a child has cerebral palsy. If your child has spasticity, they may find it difficult to straighten their leg and experience stiffness. The goal of this study is to collect information from participants about the safety and effectiveness of using BOTOX to treat arm and hand spasticity…
The purpose of this study is to collect data for evaluating VFR (Virtual Flow Reserve) in comparison with standard FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) when patients undergo a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to treat blockage or narrowing in the heart artery or arteries.
Abnormal muscle tightness -known as spasticity- in the arm and hand can happen when a child has cerebral palsy. If your child has spasticity, they may find it difficult to straighten their hand and/or arm and experience stiffness. The goal of this study is to collect information from participants about the safety and effectiveness of using BOTOX to treat…
A study evaluating the placement of any guidewire beyond complex narrowed arteries that are relatively common in patients undergoing ballon angioplasty (a procedure where a balloon is used to stretch open narrowed arteries). At least one Teleflex guidewire and at least one Turnpike catheter is used. The guidewires and catheters that are being studied are…
The purpose of this research is to learn how to help parent youth pairs work together to help youth with sickle cell disease take hydroxyurea every day as a daily habit. This study is for children and teens ages 10-18 with Sickle Cell Anemia taking hydroxyurea, and their parents (or guardians). Many children and teens do not use hydroxyurea every day. Daily…
