The purpose of this study is to learn more about how stress affects how you pursue everyday goals after childbirth.
Are you an adult with Hereditary Hemorrhageic Telangiectasia (HHT) ? Information about people living with this rare genetic disease HHT is urgently needed. The purpose of this study is to collect a bank of information about people living with HHT to better understand HHT, the symptoms and complications it causes and how the disease impacts people's lives.
The purpose of this study is to understand how pain and weakness due to knee osteoarthritis affect inflammation and quadriceps muscle function during walking.
This is a registry of childhood, adolescent, and young adult patients with cancer. This registry is for anyone diagnosed with cancer before the age of 40 years to establish a UNC-based resource for the prospective study of the long-term, treatment-related effects, particularly the early aging effects, of cancer and its treatment.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand, from the perspective of Black patients, whether telemedicine visits make prostate cancer decision making easier or harder. The COVID-19 pandemic made it more difficult for patients to see their doctors, but care could continue by having appointments via a computer or phone, which many prostate cancer doctors used. Whether in person or remote, successfully choosing a treatment for prostate cancer often uses shared decision making (SDM), the process where doctors and patients work together to make decisions that match what matters to patients, but it is unknown whether virtual appointments make discussions better or worse. Other studies have shown that Black patients may be less satisfied with their treatment choices than non-Black patients. Therefore, it is important that we understand how to improve the same quality of care for Black patients.
In this study, we want to understand whether we can use non-invasive brain stimulation to treat non-moto symptoms like autonomic nervous system dysfunction and depression in people with Parkinson's disease.
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.
We are interested in improving the intersectional experiences of women of color in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at UNC. We are doing this study to understand the factors that hinder and support STEM persistence among graduate and undergraduate women of color at UNC.
In this study, we want to learn more about a program (STOMP) designed to improve chronic pain in people living with HIV.
