Are you a patient or survivor of a pediatric or young adult cancer? You may be able to take part in this registry to help us learn about long-term and treatment-related adverse outcomes.
Individuals with a history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and have had an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are at a greater risk for developing osteoarthritis. The greater risk for developing osteoarthritis is likely caused by too little force or physical activity applied to the knee during weightbearing tasks such as walking. To reduce this decrease in forces during walking following an ACLR, we must first develop effective treatments that can train a person to walk in a way that reduces their risk of developing osteoarthritis. The purpose of this research study is to determine the feasibility and the initial effects of a 6-week training program designed to improve walking mechanics of individuals with an ACL reconstruction.
Are you between 10 to 14 weeks pregnant? You may be able to take part in a study to assess your risk for a rare condition called FNAIT.
Have you been diagnosed with schizophrenia? Have you ever been prescribed clozapine? If you answered yes to both questions, you may be able to participate in a research study to find out how clozapine affects brain function to improve schizophrenia symptoms. Compensation provided.
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!
1. Are you 18 years of age or older? 2. Have you been diagnosed with a blood clot in the past? (more than 3 months ago) 2. Do you have leg heaviness, fatigue, swelling, aching or pain? If you answered all three questions "YES" then you might be a perfect fit for the C-TRACT study.
Are you currently pregnant and planning to deliver at UNC? If so, you and your baby may be eligible to take part in an exciting research opportunity! The SUNBEAM study will examine factors that lead to the development of food allergies and eczema (chronic itchy skin) in young babies and toddlers. Compensation will be provided for completed study activities.
Are you a healthy person? Have you wanted to get involved in clinical research in lung diseases? If so, you can join our registry list of interested individuals through a quick online form. We will give you a call if there are studies that you may be eligible for.
Do you have mantle cell lymphoma or other non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has either come back or did not get better with your last treatment? If so, you may be able to take part in a study that will modify your own immune cells to see if it may treat your cancer.
Have you been diagnosed with primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma? If so you may be able to take part in a research study looking at whether using the study drugs lenalidomide, and nivolumab can be safely used in addition to the standard treatment of primary CNS lymphoma, and which dose is the most adequate when they are used together.
