We are conducting a research study to use graded exposure and mobile mindfulness meditation to address clinical outcomes in individuals 6-months to 10-years post-ACLR. This will help develop effective treatments to improve outcomes after ACLR. This study will last 5 weeks. Compensation provided.
We want to learn how people's brains adapt when responding to various food stimuli and decision-making processes. We also want to learn about brain responses to food and beverage consumption. To do this, we will use taste tests, surveys, behavioral tasks, and neuroimaging (fMRI scan).
The purpose of this research study is to get feedback from Black and Latino (a/e/x) participants on the SMILE mHealth app, an app developed to monitor the effects of a mindfulness program through heart rate monitoring and questionnaires.
Leveraging our decades of experience studying the acute and chronic effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion, our investigative team propose an innovative, translational approach that bridges both preclinical and clinical studies. We propose testing multiple potential preventative and therapeutic strategies in the preclinical setting, while simultaneously conducting a prospective, longitudinal study of neurologic health outcomes associated with concussion and sub-concussive exposure in former NFL players. Our prior studies of former NFL players over the past 15 years provide us with a unique opportunity to conduct a truly prospective, longitudinal study of long-term neurologic health outcomes and determine any possible association with concussion and repetitive sub-concussive exposure. In parallel, we have developed animal models of repeated concussions (repetitive mild TBI [rmTBI]) and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). We have studied the effects of readily translatable preventative and therapeutic strategies, including the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist memantine, low dose carbon monoxide
In this study, we want to learn more about the experiences and activities of high school-aged youth after a neurological event. This study will also help us to understand the perspectives of youth and a parent/caregiver through photos and stories.
Did you receive a COVID-19 vaccine during or immediately before pregnancy? You may be able to take part in this study to help us learn more about the developmental outcomes of your child.
Do you experience difficulty swallowing/food getting stuck in your throat frequently? Do you experience nausea, heart burn, abdominal pain, or vomiting that doesn't respond to medication? Have you been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study at UNC Chapel Hill testing a new medication for EoE.
Do you have a solid tumor? Would you like to have screening done to see if you are eligible for a treatment study? If so, you may be able to take part in a study that will look at your tumor sample to see if you are eligible for another investigational treatment study.
We want to learn more about how executive functioning differs between children with ADHD, ASD, or neither. We have finished recruiting for our ADHD and typically developing groups but are still recruiting autistic children to be a part of our study. Children will complete an iPad-based measure of executive functioning and complete various tasks while their brain activity is being monitored using EEG. We will also complete a short eye-tracking task. Parents will fill out different forms to get an understanding of each child's developmental history and current behaviors.
Have you been diagnosed with Low Risk Breast Cancer? Have you already been treated with surgery? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study looking at the effect of regional nodal radiotherapy.
