TrialNet is an international research group dedicated to the study, prevention, and early treatment of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is now understood as a disease that develops over time in stages. Stage 1 starts with the appearance of having two or more autoantibodies. This is followed by Stage 2, which is the development of abnormal blood glucose levels. Stage 3 is the clinical diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. This study will help us learn more about how Type 1 diabetes occurs through the screening of diabetes-related autoantibodies and monitoring individuals who have tested positive for these autoantibodies.

The purpose of this research is to learn if home use of high flow nasal therapy (HFNT) increases the time to rehospitalization for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Participants will be randomly (by chance; like the flip of a coin) assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive usual medical care for COPD. The other group will receive usual medical care for COPD and use a high-flow nasal therapy device for a minimum of 8 hours daily. Participants will complete daily COPD symptom reports. This research will last for at least 12 months and up to 24 months.

University of Minnesota researchers are conducting a research study to learn more about how an individually-delivered parenting program may help teens with self-harm. Eligible parents will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to one of two conditions: (1) Healthy Emotions and Relationships with Teens – A Guide for Parents (HEART-P): a 12-session individually-delivered parenting program that teaches parents skills and strategies to help them respond to their adolescents’ emotions, or (2) wait list: parents will be offered the opportunity to receive HEART-P following their completion of the assessments during the study phase.

The purpose of this study is to study the evolution of early life risk factors that may lead to cancer and other conditions. This is a prospective cohort study of families who reside in Minnesota.

This study will seek to learn about barriers to management of Type 2 diabetes for children ages 10-17. This study is recruiting children, and their parent/guardian, who are managing with oral medication or insulin.

Risk for suicidal behavior in young people may include particular types of brain functions. The goal of this research is to learn more about the biology of the brain as it relates to suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

Feasibility study to test our overall hypothesis that time restricted eating (TRE) presents a viable alternative to caloric restriction for improving glycemic measures and reducing weight in overweight/obese patients with metformin-only treated Type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

The purpose of this Health Participant Registry is to collect the names, contact information and answers to safety screening questions that assist in the determination of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility of individuals who have expressed interest in MR research.

We are interested in learning more about how preconscious thinking works. Preconscious thinking are thoughts you aren't actively thinking about but can be thought of quickly with the right trigger. It is similar to a waiting room for your thoughts. We believe that preconscious thoughts are important for learning more about symptoms related to suicide and psychosis. This research will help us better understand how the preconscious relates to these mental health outcomes. Participants will be asked to complete a research visit where they will complete computer tasks while being monitored with EEG and video recording. We'll also ask participants to complete pre-visit mood check-ins which can be done remotely.

This study will investigate neural mechanisms underlying the enhancement of rigidity with an activation maneuver (contralateral voluntary movement such as hand tapping) in people with Parkinson's disease. Rigidity will be measured using a custom robotic manipulandum while neural activity will be assessed using EEG and TMS protocols.

We are exploring ways to promote healthy lifestyles during stroke rehabilitation using a web-based rehabilitation program. The purpose of this study is to compare two intervention approaches: teleABLE and Healthy Lifestyles Education. Both interventions are delivered using video visits, so participants can complete all study activities from home

To determine the incidence of engraftment (defined as achieving donor derived neutrophil count >500/uL by day 42) in young children with leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome undergoing a partially matched single unit umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT) after a myeloablative preparative regimen consisting of busulfan, melphalan and fludarabine.

The Syner-G regimen research study seeks to evaluate the use of a combination of a medication called miglustat and a ketogenic diet for treatment of the gangliosidoses to learn if this combination will provide improved clinical outcomes compared to what we currently know about the natural course of the disease.

The purpose of this research study is to test the efficacy of the study drug, Brivaracetam, to reduce nerve pain in SCI. We also want to determine whether Brivaracetam impacts mood, brain, and genes to help us design more research with this study drug in the future. We will assign you randomly to one of 2 groups: the group that receives the active study drug (Brivaracetam) or the group that receives a placebo (sugar pill). There is a 50-50 chance that you will be assigned to one group or the other, similar to flipping a coin. Participation in this study will last approximately 11 weeks and will include 3 study visits to the study site; however, participation in the study can also be entirely virtual which would require no visits to the study site.

Humanitarian use devices are medical devices approved by the FDA for the treatment of medical conditions affecting fewer than 4,000 patients per year. The FDA reviewed the safety of the device and determined that the probable health benefits outweigh the risks of injury or illness from its use. Effective treatment of symptoms, however, has not been studied in formal clinical trials. Medtronic DBS Therapy delivers electrical stimulation to areas in the brain to help control symptoms of various movement disorders. You may be a candidate for Medtronic DBS Therapy for Dystonia if you have been diagnosed with chronic, intractable (drug refractory) primary dystonia. You or your third party payer (health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid or other) must provide payment for hospital, office and other medical costs related to this therapy.

We are hoping to understand more about how being in the ICU impacts children who use breathing support at home and their families. As part of this research study, families will be asked to complete the following during the four study periods: - Complete questionnaires - Airway oscillometry will be used to test your child’s breathing - Complete short daily surveys

We are enrolling people who have had complete surgical removal of a stage II or stage III colorectal cancer. We will draw blood samples for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to find out if this blood test can be used to detect recurrence of the cancer. People will be followed for at least 3 years and up to 5 years.

We are conducting this research to better understand if text messages can be used for diabetes education for patients in the Hmong community. People will be in this research study for one month. You will receive two text messages per week for one month and be asked to complete a 5-10 minute survey at the end of the month.

We are studying the addition of a drug to the treatment for people who have triple-negative breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells. Some people will receive the current treatment and others will have the current treatment with carboplatin added. The results of the two treatments will be compared.

We are studying a new phone app, UrApp, for parents (or caregivers) to use when managing the care of children who have been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome in the last six weeks. We will look at medication and urine monitoring with two groups; one will use the app, the other will have usual care. Study participation will last for one year.

The purpose of this research study is to compare the transfusion of cold-stored (refrigerated) platelets to standard room temperature stored platelets. The goal of the trial is to determine whether platelets stored cold are similar or better at stopping bleeding compared to platelets stored at room temperature and, if so, to determine the maximum duration of cold storage that maintains a similar effect on bleeding

The purpose of this research is to understand the effort needed to understand speech if hearing is impaired. Listening effort is higher in people with hearing impairment and has wide-ranging negative consequences across many aspects of a person’s life. The goal of this project is to explore factors that make listening effortful, with special focus on the need to repair perceptual mistakes by relying on context.

We will examine whether the benefits of brain stimulation on mental functioning can be enhanced if an individual is actively engaging the target brain networks while receiving brain stimulation. The study includes two separate sessions and people will complete either a cognitive task or a perceptual task while we are measuring the change in brain function with EEG. Please fill out the linked screening questionnaire to determine if you are eligible.

The overall objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of identifying transdiagnostic biomarkers of cognitive function mediated by neuromodulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex that are translatable across disease groups in order to more accurately phenotype clusters of cognitive dysfunction. Completing behavioral paradigms with electrophysiology and TMS is a challenging frontier. This study focuses on the feasibility of such an endeavor for those with chronic pain or depression as well as healthy controls.

We are studying an internet-based pain coping skills program with pain education for cancer survivors who have persistent pain. Pain severity and interference will be compared to people who receive only pain education. The pain coping program has 8 sessions that are completed in the first 10 weeks of starting the study. The group that receives only pain education will receive access to the program after 6 months. Everyone is followed for 9 months

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and ability of a transplant with your own gene modified stem cells (autologous stem cell transplant) to treat sickle cell disease. The goal is to determine if a sufficient amount of hemoglobin that prevents red blood sickling can be produced after the gene modified stem cells are returned to your body. This study may provide information on the potential usefulness of bb1111 for treatment of sickle cell disease
