Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for Dysmenorrhea Symptoms
This pilot study tests whether a targeted OMT session before the next period can reduce pain and other dysmenorrhea symptoms in female university community members.
NIH-funded research (16)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
HIV blocks immune alarm signals by targeting IPS-1 to weaken interferon responses
A study in people with HIV explores how the virus disrupts a key alarm system (interferon) by manipulating a molecule called IPS-1 to help the virus hide and replicate.
-
Cooperative Modulation of Piezo Channels and Heart Health
A study to understand how PIEZO channels in heart and blood vessels respond to mechanical forces and how their behavior might contribute to conditions like hypertension and cardiomyopathy.
-
Protein Kinase R and hantavirus organ targeting in humans
Researchers are studying how PKR and related proteins influence where hantaviruses attack in the body, which could lead to better protection against kidney and heart/lung damage in people exposed to these viruses.
-
Noncanonical DNA virus sensing through IKK-alpha–driven interferon signaling
Researchers are exploring a new pathway by which the body detects DNA from viruses and triggers protective interferon responses, which could lead to better treatments for viral infections.
-
Preventing UV-driven skin cancer with a skin-targeted form of R-carvedilol
A patient-friendly look at a cancer-prevention approach using a skin-targeted version of R-carvedilol to block UV-driven skin cancer without affecting heart health.
-
Pharmacological modulation of Piezo1 channels
A new NIH grant is exploring how to control Piezo1 ion channels with drugs to treat diseases linked to mechanical sensing in the body.
-
Understanding brain changes in Angelman syndrome
This work explores how certain proteins and tiny cell packages called extracellular vesicles affect brain development in people with Angelman syndrome.
-
Preventing Skin Cancer from Sun Exposure with a Modified Medication
This project explores a new way to protect skin from sun damage and prevent skin cancer using a modified version of a common heart medication applied to the skin.
-
Modulating Piezo1 channels to treat various diseases
This study is looking at how certain channels in our cells, called Piezo1, can be adjusted with medications to help treat conditions like high blood pressure, swelling, and joint issues, and it aims to find specific molecules that can help these channels work better or slower for better health.
-
Understanding how insulin is cleared from the body
This study is looking at how the body gets rid of insulin from the blood, especially for people with Type 2 diabetes, to find new ways to help manage insulin levels and improve overall health.
-
Training diverse health professionals in allergic and immunologic diseases
This study is all about helping students from different health fields, like medicine and dentistry, learn more about allergies and immune diseases, so they can become better healthcare providers and improve care for patients like you.
-
Investigating how glutathione levels affect tuberculosis in the brain
This study is looking at how a natural substance called glutathione can help improve treatment for people with Tuberculous Meningitis, a serious brain infection caused by tuberculosis, by boosting their immune system to better fight the bacteria.
-
Using R-carvedilol to prevent skin cancer caused by UV rays
This study is looking at how a special version of a heart medication called R-carvedilol can help prevent skin cancer from UV rays by applying it directly to the skin, so it doesn't affect your blood pressure or cause side effects.
-
New approach to improve the success of arteriovenous fistulas for dialysis
This study is looking into why some arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) don’t develop properly for dialysis and is testing new treatments that could help them mature better, which could be really helpful for patients who rely on dialysis.
-
Investigating how pain affects impulsivity in rats
This study is looking at how long-term pain affects decision-making and impulsive behavior in rats, which could help us understand similar issues in people dealing with chronic pain and related mental health challenges.
-
Understanding how the Nairovirus translates its genetic material
This study is looking at how the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus works, especially focusing on a specific protein that helps the virus make copies of itself, with the hope of finding new ways to treat this serious illness for patients.
