The purpose of this study is to find out whether a type of gentle nerve stimulation, called transcutaneous auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS), can help improve how the body regulates heart rate and blood pressure in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Problems with heart rate and blood pressure control are common and can make it harder for people to exercise or do daily activities. By using this non-invasive form of nerve stimulation and testing how it affects the body's natural responses, this study hopes to learn if taVNS could be a helpful tool to support physical therapy and improve overall function.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment and work by blocking protein interactions that normally prevent the immune system from recognizing and destroying cancer cells. However, these agents, now approved for over 15 types of cancers and for both early-stage and metastatic disease, are capable of causing inflammation in any organ system of the body that can lead to organ damage, dysfunction, and even death in rare cases. Some patients may suffer acute and treatable complications like joint pain, but some may have irreversible complications like hypothyroidism that requires daily, life-long medication. It is therefore important to fully understand the different types of damage ICIs can cause to better monitor patients receiving ICI therapy. A rising concern from recent reports in the literature is that ICIs may weaken bone and increase the risk of fractures. In this study, we aim to characterize how ICIs impact the bone by examining several factors in patients undergoing curative-intent ICI treatment either alone or in combination with chemotherapy: bone mineral density, bone volume, and markers of bone turnover in the blood. We will use two imaging techniques to assess bone mineral density and volume. DXA (dual X-ray absorptiometry) imaging uses low-dose X-rays to measure how dense (or strong) bones are and is often used to diagnose or assess the risk of osteoporosis. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) is a 3D imaging technology that can quantify bone structure and volume and offers high resolution that can be used to assess bone in smaller bones of the peripheral skeleton. We hypothesize that ICI treatment will weaken bones and increase the risk of fractures. As ICI therapy is relatively new, a rising number of patients may be at risk of fractures or have low bone density that is not being monitored because there are not guidelines in place notifying physicians of this potential risk to patients. Our study will provide important preliminary data that will be the basis for larger studies in the future aiming to better monitor and potentially treat bone weakening in patients treated with ICIs to reduce the pain, inconvenience, and complications from fragility fractures.

Traumatic pneumothorax and hemothorax are common consequences of chest injury, often requiring prompt tube thoracostomy to re-expand the lung and drain accumulated blood or air. Current practice varies widely regarding whether chest tubes should initially be placed to suction or to water seal, and prior studies have reported mixed findings. While suction may theoretically improve drainage and lung expansion, some studies suggest it may prolong air leaks and chest tube duration. Conversely, initial water seal has been associated with shorter tube duration without an increase in complications. The predecessor to this trial, the SEAL IT Trial, demonstrated that water seal reduced chest tube duration in patients with pneumothorax without an increase in complication, but excluded those with significant hemothorax. This single-center, randomized controlled trial (SUS-HPTX) will expand upon those findings by evaluating the effect of initial chest tube management strategy, suction versus water seal, in trauma patients with hemopneumothorax or hemothorax. Patients will be assigned to one of the two groups based on calendar month of enrollment, with clinicians able to adjust management as needed. The primary outcome is chest tube duration. Secondary outcomes include chest tube-related complications (e.g., empyema, pneumonia, re-accumulation of pneumothorax or hemothorax, need for additional procedures), hospital length of stay, readmissions, and mortality. Because both suction and water seal are accepted standards of care, the study involves minimal incremental risk. Findings will expand prior evidence and inform best practices for chest tube management in trauma Type: Interventional Start Date: Apr 2026 |

This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of a post-transplant dental cleaning for the prevention of chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). HCT is the only curative treatment for some types of blood cancer. Unfortunately, this approach can lead to the development of GVHD, which is a disease caused when cells from a donated stem cell graft attack the normal tissue of the transplant patient. Some research has shown that the bacteria that is present in the dental plaque soon after transplant may affect the development of chronic GVHD. Dental cleanings prior to transplant are part of the normal standard of care for patients undergoing HCT. Adding an additional cleaning shortly after HCT may be effective for preventing the development of chronic GVHD. Type: Interventional Start Date: May 2026 |

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the gammaCore non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) device as an additional treatment for symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults. The vagus nerve connects the brain with many organs and systems in the body and plays a role in regulating stress and emotional responses. The gammaCore device is a handheld, rechargeable medical device that delivers gentle electrical stimulation to the vagus nerve through the skin on the side of the neck. By stimulating this nerve, the device may help reduce PTSD symptoms. gammaCore is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment and prevention of migraine and cluster headache. It has not yet been approved for the treatment of PTSD. This study is being conducted to better understand whether this type of stimulation may help improve PTSD symptoms and to evaluate its safety when used for this purpose. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Is non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation safe for people with PTSD when used regularly at home? - Does treatment with the gammaCore device improve PTSD symptom severity over time? In this study, approximately 40 adults with PTSD will participate in an open-label pilot study. Participants will first complete a 4-week baseline period in which their PTSD symptoms are monitored. This allows researchers to understand each participant's symptoms before starting the intervention. Participants will then begin a 12-week treatment period using the gammaCore device at home. During this time, participants will apply the device to the side of the neck for short stimulation sessions each day as instructed by the study team. Participants will attend six study visits, some conducted remotely and some in person. These visits include screening, training on how to use the device, and follow-up assessments. During the study, participants will complete questionnaires and clinician-administered assessments that measure PTSD symptoms and quality of life. Researchers will also monitor participants for any side effects or medical problems related to the device. By collecting information on symptoms, safety, and device use, this study will help researchers understand whether non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation could become a useful treatment option for people living with PTSD.
