Peer Support Groups for Social Isolation

Albuquerque, New Mexico
This study will use a multi-level, community-engaged approach to implement "TERTULIAS" ("conversational gatherings" in Spanish). The intervention uses an innovative, culturally and contextually situated peer support group design that was developed by the investigators to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities for FMI participants in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The study will use a rigorous, transdisciplinary, QUAL⇒QUANT, mixed-method research design. The investigators will document results of the intervention on the primary hypotheses of a decrease in depression, and increases in resilience and social support, as well as on the secondary hypotheses of decreased stress (including the use of innovative testing of hair cortisol as a biomarker for chronic stress), and an increase in social connectedness and positive assessment of knowledge and empowerment gained through the TERTULIAS intervention.

AI Chatbot for Postpartum Loneliness

La Jolla, California
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a postpartum chatbot powered by generative artificial intelligence (genAI) can help new mothers get better pelvic floor health information and feel less lonely after childbirth. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does using the chatbot improve postpartum pelvic floor health knowledge? * Does using the chatbot help reduce feelings of loneliness during the postpartum period? * Does using the chatbot impact pelvic floor symptoms? Researchers will compare standard postpartum care to standard care plus the chatbot. Participants will: Be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to standard postpartum care with or without access to the chatbot. If in the chatbot group, participants will receive education and support via the chatbot over a 4-week period. Both groups will complete questionnaires to measure their pelvic floor knowledge, pelvic floor symptoms, feelings of loneliness, depression, infant bonding, perceived social support, adverse childhood experiences, and peri-traumatic distress. The chatbot was created by urogynecology experts in collaboration with UC San Diego computer science and biomedical informatics researchers. The chatbot is designed to give new mothers personalized, evidence-based information and support in real time.

Exercise for Multiple Sclerosis

La Jolla, California
This multi-center, randomized controlled feasibility trial will assess a 20-week home-based exercise intervention in youth with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The goal is to determine the feasibility of conducting a larger, definitive trial on exercise training as a non-pharmacological approach to improve disease outcomes in this population. Participants will be randomized to either an Exercise Training group or a Mobility and Flexibility Training group. The investigators will evaluate differences between the two groups in physical activity levels, mediators of physical activity, and psychosocial outcomes. Assessments, including clinical exams, brain MRI, eye tracking, cognitive testing, blood draws, and questionnaires, will occur at baseline and after 20 weeks. Accelerometry will be done at baseline, 10 weeks, and 20 weeks to track physical activity. The primary objectives are to assess the feasibility of recruiting, retaining, and randomizing youth with MS and to evaluate adherence to the exercise intervention and coaching sessions. Exploratory objectives include examining changes in depressive symptoms, cognitive function, blood biomarkers (BDNF and irisin), brain volume, and fitness levels in response to the intervention. Approximately 40 participants will be enrolled from four sites in Canada and the United States. Primary outcomes include feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity measures. Exploratory outcomes include blood biomarkers, brain MRI, cognitive testing, and other neuropsychological measures.

Nalmefene vs Naloxone for Opioid Overdose

Albuquerque, New Mexico
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare naloxone to nalmefene for the treatment of opioid overdose in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does nalmefene lower the number of doses of medicine participants need to treat opioid overdose? * When participants are given nalmefene instead of naloxone, do they have fewer complications of opioid overdose such as being admitted to the hospital or having a breathing tube inserted? Researchers will compare nalmefene to naloxone for the treatment of opioid overdose. Nalmefene and naloxone are both approved medicines to treat opioid overdose. Participants who are brought to the emergency department after an opioid overdose will be given a dose of either nalmefene or naloxone if their breathing slows down again after an opioid overdose. Participants will: * Stay in the emergency department for 8 hours after receiving a dose of nalmefene or naloxone. * Receive a phone call 7 days after their emergency department to check on how they are doing. Background information: Naloxone (also known as Narcan) and nalmefene are opioid blocking medicines. When someone overdoses on an opioid, such as heroin or fentanyl, their breathing slows down or stops and they can die. By giving naloxone or nalmefene, the effect of the opioid can be blocked and the person can start breathing again. Naloxone is the most commonly used medicine to reverse an opioid overdose. The effect of naloxone lasts about an hour, and patients may need more than one dose of naloxone to keep them breathing. Sometimes patients overdose, get a dose of naloxone and wake up, and then some time later their breathing slows down again and they need another dose of naloxone. This can happen because the effect of the opioid they took lasts longer than the effect of the naloxone. The effect of nalmefene lasts longer than naloxone, about four hours. If a person gets nalmefene, their opioid may wear off before the nalmefene wears off and they might not need any more doses of a reversal medicine. Both naloxone and nalmefene are approved medicines for treating opioid overdose. Often, when a person overdoses on an opioid, someone gives them naloxone right away and then they are brought to the emergency department. In the emergency department, they are watched for several hours to make sure they don't stop breathing again when their naloxone wears off. If they do stop breathing again, they are given another dose of naloxone. In this study, participants will be given either nalmefene or naloxone if their breathing slows down while they are in the emergency department.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've experienced drug resistant MDD for 2 decades. I have had no success with CBT and medication, nor either alone. I had success once with TMS, about 5 sessions, in 2014. I have not had TMS since then."

"I had a serious spinal cord injury four years ago, and my entire life turned upside down. I lost everything including a 10 year relationship. I became handicapped and part of that handicap is a mental handicap or I just can’t seem to find my happiness anymore. I go to events where everybody’s laughing, smiling, dancing, and having a good time, and I seem to just sit there like a bump on log. It feels like my spirit is broken. I want to feel happiness and motivation for life again."

"My long history of depression has been met with a long list of trial and error drugs. My current medication (generic Pristiq) has been prescribed for two decades (though I tried several other medications during my last serious episode several years ago. When the episode passed I returned to generic Pristiq. I am interested in a clinical trial because I wonder if I can do something different to more effectively avoid a serious depressive episode and lift the general malaise I often feel."

"I have struggled my entire life with depression. I feel like it took away half my life because I've been unable to truly feel the good times and people around me, like I'm numb. I would like to take part to see if it might help me, but I would also like to help others by doing this trial if I am accepted. I would love to enjoy life and truly feel the happy experiences that might come my way rather than observe them without feeling."

EW
Depression PatientAge: 45

"I've been struggling with alcoholism and depression on-and-off for about 12 years. I have heard of people have good outcomes for various mental health issues after using psilocybin but would not be willing to try it without a doctor's care. So I'm applying to a trial. "
