The purpose of this study is to compare two culturally tailored nutrition and exercise programs for African American and Black women living in Central North Carolina.
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.
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.
In this study, we want to learn how a drug works in preventing diabetic retinopathy (DR).
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 to is assess changes in knee joint health before and after 8 weeks of physical activity participation in individuals with a history of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) 6 months to 5 years ago.
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.
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 purpose of this study is to conduct interviews to hear people's thoughts and feedback on various aspects of conducting syphilis vaccine research at UNC-Chapel Hill and to ask them to complete a brief online survey after their interviews. The information that participants provide will help the clinical trial researchers to better understand what concerns people might have about syphilis vaccine research and to design clinical trials that are acceptable to potential vaccine research participants.
To evaluate whether early drug treatment extends overall survival compared with delayed drug treatment with high-risk (chronic lymphocytic leukemia [CLL] newly diagnosed asymptomatic CLL/SLL patients.
