Amblyopia (sometimes called 'lazy eye') is reduced vision in one eye caused by abnormal visual development early in life. The weaker (or 'lazy') eye often wanders inward and outward. Amblyopia is the leading cause of reduced vision in children and can lead to blindness if not treated. Treatments for amblyopia are glasses, and if needed, further treatment with part-time patching or penalization with atropine eye drops. Patching or atropine are administered to the stronger eye to force the child to use the weaker (amblyopic) eye. In recent years, an alternative type of therapy has emerged. It is called dichoptic treatment and involves stimulating both eyes simultaneously but with different stimuli. When it was first introduced, it was done in an office-based setting. Home-based technologies utilizing games and movies have been developed and studied to a limited extent in younger children with amblyopia. In this study, we will use a system called Luminopia. It uses a virtual reality headset to view web-based videos in which the contrast of the image seen by the stronger eye is reduced by 15% from that of the weaker eye. Luminopia has been available for use in the U.S. since 2022 and has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of amblyopia in this age group. In a previous large randomized trial, home-based dichoptic movies were shown to be superior to glasses alone but treatment effectiveness compared to patching (the gold standard for treating amblyopia) has not yet been established. If dichoptic therapy using the Luminopia system is confirmed to be at least as effective as patching, it would be an appealing alternative for treating amblyopia in young children, as it shows promise of better adherence and an easier treatment experience for the parent and the child. Children in this study would be randomized 1:1 to either the Patching Group or the Luminopia Group and followed for at least 6 months. Children in the Patching Group will have the option to do the Luminopia treatment after 6 months of patching. They will be followed for an additional 6 months. Thus, their participation will last for a total of 1 year.

Currently, there are no approved treatment options for pediatric subjects with proteinuric kidney conditions. The study will look at the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) trial in children ≥1 to <18 years treated for up to 108 weeks with the drug sparsentan.

This study is enrolling participants who have been diagnosed with juvenile spondyloarthritis, are taking a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) and have reached a clinically inactive disease state for a minimum of six months. Researchers want to know if children who have maintained inactive disease for at least 6 months can maintain quiet disease without taking their medication as frequently or stop the TNFi therapy. Quiet disease means that disease related symptoms are not active or being experienced in the patient. Researchers also want to know the safest method to bring patients off medication. If a flare does occur during therapy reduction, researchers want to find out whether they can predict when a flare is most likely to happen, and how quickly an inactive disease state can be recaptured.

We are doing this study to see if we can improve the standard treatment for OCD, Exposure with Response Prevention, by pairing it with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to the parts of the brain that cause OCD symptoms.

This study will test whether adding in daily weighing (5-7 days per week) is helpful in weight loss. In adults, it has been found to be helpful to have individuals who are obese to be more successful with their weight loss efforts if they weigh themselves at home every day. We want to see if this could be helpful in children as well. This research will last for about 12 weeks (3 months).

The purpose of this study is to see how accurately orthopaedic surgeons predict outcomes for people who have an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Patients will be asked to complete post-surgery surveys about occurrence of side effects, return to activity, reoperation, and satisfaction with the surgery at 4 months, 2 years, and 5 years.

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.

Researchers want to find out more about how physical, cognitive, and emotional factors affect eating.

To determine the prognostic factors for visual outcome for newly diagnosed NF1-OPGs. Hypothesis: Patients (<18 years of age) with tumors involving the optic tracts and/or radiations will demonstrate worse visual outcomes compared to those without optic tract involvement.

This partially randomized phase III trial studies how well active surveillance, bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, or cisplatin work in treating pediatric and adult patients with germ cell tumors. Active surveillance may help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors after their tumor is removed. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

The purpose of this multicenter study is to compare outcomes between patients who will undergo different types of ACL reconstruction. All patients will have a tendon from their own knee used to reconstruct the ACL. Prior to knee surgery, researchers will randomize (i.e. a coin toss) to determine if ACL reconstruction will be done with patellar or quadriceps tendon and if the lateral extra-articular tenodesis will or will not be added to the ACL surgery. We will follow-up with participants as they undergo treatment and recovery after surgery for 2 years.

PR001A is designed to deliver a normal GBA1 gene copy into the body to increase the activity of GCase, which is low in Type 2 Gaucher Disease (GD2) patients. The new GBA1 gene will remain a child’s body cells for many years and possibly for the rest of their life. A participant will need one surgery during which the study drug will be given and will stay in the hospital for at least 48 hours following the surgery.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of Skytrofa treatment in children growth hormone deficiency. Patient care will follow the normal treatment practices at the clinic. No additional visits will be performed beyond the usual clinical practice.

This study identifies the bio-behavioral predictors and correlation of responses to Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention to Tics (CBIT) in young people with tic disorder.

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.
