In this study, we are testing whether a higher dose of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can be safely used in people with depression. Participants will come to the Brain Stimulation Lab and receive mild electrical stimulation through electrodes placed on their scalp.
The study begins with a safety run-in, where the first few participants will receive stimulation at gradually increasing levels (2, 4, and 6 milliamps) while being closely monitored. If no serious side effects are found, later participants will receive repeated 6 milliamp sessions for 5 days total. We will check skin comfort, mood, and overall tolerability after each session.
This study is for adult patients with head and neck cancer who are at risk of recurrence. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the use of Indocyanine Green (ICG) dye allows for better identification of tumor tissue during surgical procedures. Participation will include standard of care visits along with administration of ICG dye and imaging during surgery. Participation in this study will last approximately 6 weeks.
After leaving the hospital and finishing therapies, stroke survivors often do not have the supports they need to fully recover. Many live with problems for a long time after their stroke, such as trouble walking or doing everyday tasks like cleaning, grocery shopping, or cooking. Research suggests that healthy habits, like moving more, eating well, and being at a healthy weight, can improve most of these disabilities. These habits can be hard to form alone though, especially in rural areas that may not have many healthy foods or places to exercise. The goal of this research project is to test StrongPeople StrongHearts, a health program, to see if it helps stroke survivors in South Carolina make better choices for their health and improve their quality of life. The program will be delivered online so that survivors in rural areas can be in the program. One group will also receive a weekly grocery box tailored to their needs to improve access to healthy foods. This study could help increase access to research-based programs for stroke survivors who do not have the supports they did soon after their stroke.
The aim of this supplement study is to learn more about the emotional health and symptom needs of long-term cancer survivors (over 5 years since diagnosis) living with likely incurable disease. Participants in this qualitative substudy will be individuals who are long-term cancer survivors who participated in another study of depression in individuals with likely incurable cancer. We will recruit long-term cancer survivors with likely incurable cancer to participate in one-time, 45- to 60-minute in-depth, semi-structured interviews. We will ask patients about emotional health and symptom burden concerns and elicit attitudes toward digital mental health interventions (DMHI) and preferences for intervention type and delivery. Findings will inform the development of digital mental health interventions tailored to this patient population.
