Families expecting another child needed for infant development study
UCLA researchers are recruiting families with an infant less than six weeks of age. Infants must not be the firstborn child in their family and have no family history of autism. The study involves non-invasive MRI (during natural sleep), EEG, eye-tracking, and behavioral assessments in order to examine social communication skills in the first year of life. Participation in this study involves visits at 1½, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months. Families will receive valuable feedback on their infant’s developmental progress, as well as $50 compensation for each visit and a picture of their baby's brain.
Females 18-50 who experience pain with vaginal intercourse or tampon use
This is a research study about vestibulodynia, a condition where women feel pain at the opening of the vagina. They feel this pain regularly when there is pressure in the vagina – pressure from using tampons and/or pressure from sexual activity.
Through this study, we hope to find out which medications work best to relieve pain from vestibulodynia, and also find out more about what is happening in the body when women have vestibulodyina.
This study involves four visits over a six-month time period. Each study visit is 2-3 hours long. You will be randomized into one of 4 treatment groups. Each group will receive a different combination of active and inactive (placebo) medications to take during the study.
The total compensation for the study is $60, which includes all four study visits. You will receive your compensation at your final study visit.
If you are interested in participating and would like to learn more about the study visits, please email obgynresearch@mednet.ucla.edu or call Jasmyn at (310) 267-4331 . Our website is https://sites.duke.edu/updatestudy
Radiology MRI study - Liver
The UCLA Radiology department is conducting a study to evaluate novel MRI and MRE techniques for liver disease assessments. Current MRI and MRE techniques are challenged by respiratory and organ motion and breath-holding is required. This study aims to identify techniques for freebreathing MRI and MRE measurements.
You may be eligible to participate if you are a patient who has been told by a doctor that you have suspected or confirmed liver disease.
If you would like to participate in our study:
You will have a research MRI and MRE exam lasting approximately 30 minutes.
You may qualify to receive a $60 Target gift card and a parking voucher for participating in the
study.
