We are developing a computer-based tool for people who have cancers of the blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. This tool will help us understand what is most important to patients when it comes to the results of their treatment. We are looking for healthy volunteers (those without cancer) to help us test the usability of this tool.
Persons with stroke suffer limited walking distances due to sensory and motor changes following injury. Robotic exoskeletons have become a recent topic of study, specifically to the ankle joint to provide walking assistance and enable those to walk for longer distances. However, no study has investigated how to teach persons to use these assistive devices to greatest benefit. This study aims to determine the optimal settings and feedback with an ankle exoskeleton in order to teach a person with a stroke to use the device optimally. You will get to wear an exoskeleton on your ankle and experience a futuristic walking experience while helping the team gain new knowledge!
The purpose of this research study is to understand how a physical activity program for family members and friends can help improve their physical activity and possibly improve the symptoms of Hispanics/Latinos with osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to identify barriers and facilitators to the implementation of integrative medical group visits (IMGV) for patients with chronic pain in safety-net healthcare settings. IMGV is one of few integrative pain management programs designed specifically for low-income populations. By understanding what it takes to make these programs successful or not, we aim to test strategies to implement IMGV widely in safety-net settings. The goal is to make integrative pain management more accessible to low-income patients.
Do you have COPD or want to help us understand COPD? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study. We want to learn more about how nose inflammation is related to COPD. We are looking for people with COPD and healthy volunteers for this study. Compensation provided.
The purpose of this study is to identify and genomically-characterize individuals with genetically unexplained neurodevelopmental disorders, such as epilepsy. The overarching goal is to provide patients with improved information about the underlying genetic basis of their disorder and illuminate novel genetically-defined treatment approaches in the future.
The IBIS Network recently received a grant from NIH to study brain and behavior development in infants with Down Syndrome as well as non affected infants. The goal of our new study is to identify the features of Down Syndrome at an earlier age. We will be recruiting infants across all IBIS Network locations 6-months of age and younger. Travel and Compensation provided.
We are doing this study to learn about how well student identities are represented in teachers and the plays that are produced. This survey is for any college student who is studying theatre or who participated in theatre in high school.
In this study, we want to learn more about mental health stigma and mental health history. We also would like to learn about how these factors affect a person's willingness to participate in therapy.
We are doing this study to learn about the experiences of patients who have visited their primary care doctor (UNC Health affiliated clinics/providers) during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the increase in telehealth visits during the pandemic, we want to learn about your experiences! UNC-CH is a partner site for this research with Weill Cornell University. A screened participant list will be sent to Weill-Cornell (primary site) to schedule and initiate interviews.
