 Exploring How Brain Stimulation Affects Attention and Decision-Making

Exploring How Brain Stimulation Affects Attention and Decision-Making

J
Joshua Brown
18 years - 50 years
Accepts healthy volunteer
All genders
This study is testing a new, non-invasive method of brain stimulation called temporal interference (TI). TI uses very small electrical currents non-invasively applied through the scalp to see whether deeper brain areas can be safely and effectively influenced. We are studying how TI affects brain activity, measured with MRI, and how it may change attention, decision-making, and responses to simple tasks. You may qualify for this study if you:Are between the ages of 18 and 50Weigh less than 440 poundsHave at least a 6th grade educationSpeak and read EnglishCan pass an MRI safety screening test
 Vape Study: Help us Understand Nicotine Dependence with Brain Stimulation

Vape Study: Help us Understand Nicotine Dependence with Brain Stimulation

J
Joshua Brown
21 years - 50 years
Accepts healthy volunteer
All genders
Do you use nicotine-based vapes? Our study is testing the effects of brain stimulation on nicotine use and craving. Temporal interference (TI) delivers very mild electrical currents to the scalp that reach deeper brain regions linked to addiction, without surgery. You may qualify to be in this study if you:Are between the ages of 21 and 50Have at least a 6th grade education and are English-speakingVape at least 15 mg of nicotine per day (~1-2 cigarettes/day)Are not currently in treatment for nicotine use
 Cystic Fibrosis CFTR Modulator Study

Cystic Fibrosis CFTR Modulator Study

E
Emma Tillman
12 years or above
All genders
Observational
We hope to generate data through the variability in medication concentrations in a persons blood. We do not know yet if drug concentrations correlate with side effects. This study will help determine if CFTR modulator blood concentrations correlate with medication side effects and determine the value of proceeding with a large-scale trial.

Functional Assessment in Liver Transplant Candidates (FrAILT) Study

M
Marwan Ghabril
18 years - 100 years
All genders
Interventional
What is this study about?This will be a prospective cohort study of patients with liver disease. The researchers want to gather information through a series of various tests that can be used in the future to guide diagnosis and treatment of cognitive impairment including Alzheimer’s and related dementias in individuals who have undergone liver transplantation. THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY

Oral Contraceptive Induced Hepatic Adenomas: Building a Biorepository

C
Craig Lammert, MD
18 years or above
All genders
The purpose of this study is to collect biosamples, in the form of whole blood, saliva, and tissue when available, to create a biorepository for people who have a hepatic adenoma or focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) or both. Our goal is to find out why some women taking birth control pills develop rare liver tumors called hepatic adenomas. THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Prospective participants will be clinic patients of the study investigators and will be recruited in-person at the time of their clinic appointment.  Subjects who have a hepatic adenoma or FNH will be invited to participate in the study. They will be identified by medical record review or at their doctor's visit.

FMT and Other Gut Microbial Therapies National Registry: Acute Severe and Fulminant C. Difficile Infection

M
Monika Fischer, MD
17 years or below
All genders
Observational
The overarching goal of the registry is to expand knowledge and optimize practice in the transplantation of fecal microbiota or other gut microbial products. The objectives of this protocol regarding FMT for patients with acute severe/fulminant CDI include the following: • Establishing the effectiveness, safety, and optimal method of administration of FMT using donor stool or other GMTs in hospitalized patients with acute severe or fulminant CDI.• Characterize the impact of FMT and other GMTs on the resistome in hospitalized patients treated for acute severe or fulminant CDI.• Determine the impact of FMT and other GMTs on the virome and mycobiome via analysis of SMS data. THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Subjects receiving FMT or other GMTs for a diagnosis of acute severe or fulminant CDI will be invited to join this registry. A formal medical history is completed bedside.

The Resilience Songwriting Program for Adolescent Bereavement

J
Jayme Allen, MD
12 years - 18 years
Accepts healthy volunteer
All genders
Experiencing the death of a loved one is hard.  We want to understand how a songwriting program can impact grief and resiliency in teens who have experienced the loss of aloved one. The purpose of this study is to learn more about how a songwriting program may affect grief and resiliency in adolescents that have experienced the loss of a loved one. We are also interested in learning how each adolescent experiences the songwriting program.  THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Riley Grief Services will recruit teens ages 12-18 who have experienced a loss of a loved one that they are currently grieving by sending flyers through direct mailings to families already in the Riley Grief Services system as well as through sending flyers and/or providing in-service presentations to St. Vincent Bereavement Services, Community Health Network Bereavement, Brooke’s Place, Indiana University Health Hospice, through local school systems (e.g.., school counselors and social workers), and hospitals within the Indiana University Health System.
