Summary

This study will test the effect of a 6-session occupational therapy program delivered via online video visits called telerehabilitation. The study will involve stroke survivors who have had a stroke at least 1 month ago and have weakness of one arm or hand from the stroke. The occupational therapy sessions will take place while the stroke survivor is located in his/her own home. The stroke survivor will interact with a licensed, experienced occupational therapist via a video call on the stroke survivor's own phone, tablet or laptop. The goal of the telerehabilitation program will be to improve the stroke survivor's abilities to be more engaged in meaningful life activities. The entire study will occur over a 6-week period.

Summary

This research study aims to better understand patient experiences with accessing genetic counseling services for hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). The study will include a review of MUSC medical records to better understand referral patterns to genetic counseling services among patients with hEDS. Patients with hEDS will also be asked to complete a survey about their experiences with accessing genetic counseling services. Healthcare providers will be asked to complete a separate survey about their experiences referring patients with hEDS to genetic counseling services and potential factors that may influence the referral process. The surveys will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.

There are minimal risks to participants but may include possible loss of confidentiality or discomfort when answering questions related to healthcare experiences. There is no direct benefit to participants, but the information provided may help improve access to genetic counseling services for future patients with hEDS. Participation in the surveys is completely voluntary.

Keywords
Cancer
Summary

This study is for patients diagnosed with a solid tumor malignancy of any stage and identified as high risk (having a 6-month mortality estimate). The study is evaluating A-PACT (algorithm-Enables Patients Activated in Cancer Care through Teams). The subjects will be randomized (like flipping a count) to determine if they will receive A-PACT with usual care or usual care alone. The primary purpose of this study is to determine if the A-PACT Program reduces unplanned hospital visits and improves communication between patients and their health care team. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for 12 months or their withdrawal of consent.

Researcher
Sarah Rose Thornton

List of Studies

Summary

This study aims to learn how adolescents and young adults who received a liver transplant as children think about their transplant and prepare to manage their healthcare as they get older. Participants will complete questionnaires and may take part in an interview about their experiences, feelings, and healthcare responsibilities. The study will explore how young people view their transplant, how it fits into their sense of self, and how these factors relate to their readiness for adult healthcare. Information from this study will help researchers better understand the needs of young liver transplant recipients and guide the development of future support programs.

This study is for people with advanced head and neck cancer who cannot receive cisplatin. The purpose of this study is to compare treating head and neck cancer with radiation plus cetuximab versus radiation plus chemotherapy (carboplain and paclitaxel). Carboplatin, paclitaxel, and cetuximab are approved by the FDA to treat head and neck cancer.

If you agree to take part, we expect that your participation in this study may last up to 3 years. This includes visits to the clinic after you finish all study treatments. These follow-up visits will take place about every 2 months during the 1st year and about every 4 months thereafter.

Risks may include nausea, vomiting, headache, feeling tired, loss of appetite, and hair loss. Participants may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.
