We are doing this study to find out if taking the study drug (Atorvastatin) can help older adults live longer and healthier by preventing dementia, disability, or heart disease. *The study drug is a statin, which is usually used to help lower cholesterol levels.
In this study, people will first have a screening visit to make sure they can join and to check their pain and smoking habits. Next, they will have a training session to learn about the fake MRI scanner and how pain testing works. After that, they will have two brain scan sessions. For one scan, they will not smoke for 24 hours. For the other scan, they will smoke like normal. During each scan, they will feel heat pain and rate how it feels. Before and after each scan, they will answer questions about cravings, withdrawal, mood, and pain. There will be at least 2 days between the two scan sessions.
We created this registry to have a database of healthy people who are interested in participating in research about lung health and breathing. We will use this registry to reach out to people and notify them about research studies in which they might be interested.
We are doing this study to understand how sex hormones (chemicals that tell cells and body parts to do certain things), such as estrogens and androgens, impact skin diseases like hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). To better understand this, we are enrolling both people who have diagnosed skin diseases and healthy volunteers who have no skin issues.
We are doing this study to collect data and samples to store them for future research. We hope the data and samples will lead to improved treatment of patients who are seriously ill or have been injured.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether data from mobile health technologies (such as smartwatches and smartphones) can be used to assess risk of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Using data from smartphones and smartwatches, we may be able to develop a noninvasive procedure for identifying patients who are at risk and should be tested for diabetes. Participants can earn up to $50. For more information about who can be in this study, please contact the study team at diabeteswatch2@duke.edu.
We are testing a new type of electrode and a special computer system that can read signals from the skin. The person in the study will wear these new electrodes on their feet.
In this study, participants will complete two or three in-person visits where they answer surveys and walk for six minutes. After that, they will be placed into one of two groups. One group will start the exercise and nutrition program right away, and the other group will start the program later. The program lasts for twelve weeks. During this time, there will be classes three times each week that last one hour. There will also be a nutrition session every other week. Participants do not need to attend every session, but they are asked to come to at least two thirds of the classes.
