This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, research study undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy at the University of Missouri/Ellis Fischel Hospital. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion. Data also will be tracked on those who are post-operatively stratified by
After the initial telephone screening, potentially eligible candidates will meet with staff and receive a lay-language explanation of the study. Candidates will review, ask about, and sign the informed consent form for the study. Those who have difficulty understanding the information will be able
Tobacco Treatment Research Program (TTRP).The TTRP led by Dr. Darla Kendzor and located at the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center (OUHSC), offers free tobacco cessation treatment to adults from campus or the community who would like to quit using tobacco. The proposed study would take
In 2014, the estimated population who were suffering from drug abuse and drug-related disorders reached over 29 million worldwide, making it a global health challenge. Moreover, 43.5 per million people die annually from associated drug use. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
This study seeks to determine if modifying the hormonal milieu of the menstrual cycle, through administration of exogenous progesterone, will improve the effectiveness of treatments for smoking cessation in women. Progesterone, a gonadal hormone, is used clinically for treatment of endometrial
Additional data available to this project will come from contemporaneous and historical drug treatment clinical trials and treatment programs conducted at HUSM with similar populations of patients and proposed/described as other components of the cluster of research projects described in the overall
Prospective participants with seizures will be identified primarily through the Stanford Neurology and Neuropsychiatry clinics and Stanford Medical Center, with the assistance of clinic staff and providers. Participants may also be identified and referred by their physicians in the community as
There is a compelling need for prospective, properly controlled studies in women with epilepsy (WWE) during pregnancy to improve maternal and child outcomes. The proposed investigations are pertinent to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Epilepsy Research Benchmarks and will
B. The study follows a randomized controlled study design with division of approximately 60 individuals into 2 groups. The study group (n=30) will be called "Mindfulness Training for Smokers" (MTS) and will provide 7 weeks of mindfulness meditation instruction. The control group (n=30) will be
Description of Proposed Study A. Scientific Basis: Alcohol abuse and dependence represent a spectrum of maladaptive behaviors with enormous public health impact, especially for the U.S. Veteran population. Depressive symptoms are frequently comorbid with alcohol use disorders, but despite the
Primary objective: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) provides a non-invasive means of altering brain neural activity. This pilot study will test whether 5 days of rTMS reduces cue-induced cocaine craving and cocaine use in cocaine users.
Hypothesis: We predict that active rTMS will
1.1. Background Epilepsy is a common disorder affecting approximately 1% of the population including nearly 2 million people in the United States. Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is the most common complaint of people with epilepsy, reported in as many 50% of cases. EDS has long been attributed
We propose a novel pharmacological strategy for treating alcohol and nicotine dependence concomitantly.
The reinforcing effects of both alcohol and nicotine are mediated through the cortico-mesolimbic dopamine (CMDA) system, and the concomitant use of both drugs enhances their pharmacological
Deep Low-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for cessation of pathological gambling
Introduction:
Pathological gambling (PG) is characterized by a persistent pattern of continued gambling behavior despite its adverse consequences. PG is a chronic, progressive, male-dominated
Primary objective:
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) provides a non-invasive means of altering brain neural activity. This pilot study will test whether 5 days of rTMS reduces cue-induced cannabis craving and use in cannabis users.
Hypothesis:
We predict that active rTMS will
