Patient Satisfaction clinical trials at University of California Health
5 research studies open to eligible people
Cataract Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) Feasibility Pilot Study
open to eligible people ages 65 years and up
The goal of this pilot clinical trial comparing two different sedation approaches for cataract surgery is to assess patient satisfaction, the quality of recovery, and surgical outcomes as well as to evaluate the overall feasibility and acceptability of the study protocol for the purpose of planning a larger clinical trial. Participants will be asked to respond to several surveys throughout the study on their experience and to assess outcomes of interest.

VR on Pain and Patient Satisfaction in Adults Receiving GNRFA
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The study team aims to investigate whether implementing virtual reality therapy (VRT) during Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA) procedure will provide better alleviation of procedural pain and augmented satisfaction for patients.

Engaging Mothers & Babies; Reimagining Antenatal Care for Everyone (EMBRACE) Study
open to eligible females
This is a randomized comparative effectiveness study of two forms of enhanced prenatal care among 657 Medi-Cal eligible pregnant individuals in Fresno, California. The goal is to see whether group prenatal care with wrap around services versus individual prenatal care supplemented by services covered by the California Department of Public Health Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP) results in less depression and anxiety, and more respectful, more person-centered maternity care and lower rates of preterm birth.

Dropless Postoperative Regimen After Cataract Surgery in a Vulnerable, County-hospital Population
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The current postoperative cataract surgery eye drop regimen used at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) is a significant burden for its patient population, contributing to high rates of non-adherence and the development of postoperative complications. The investigators propose to replace this complex regimen with a single administration of intraocular antibiotic and subconjunctival steroid at the time of surgery. This pilot study will obtain the preliminary data required to eventually fully evaluate this innovation in postoperative care in a safety-net population with respect to postoperative outcomes, patient compliance, and patient and caregiver satisfaction.

Radial Vs. State-Of-The-Art Femoral Access for Bleeding and Access Site Complication Reduction in Cardiac Catheterization (REBIRTH)
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This is a phase IV, prospective, open label, randomized-controlled study that will compare radial access with state-of-the-art femoral access in patients without ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction undergoing cardiac catheterization. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 into 2 treatment groups: radial access and state-of-the-art femoral access. Randomization will be performed in blocks of 50 per site. Similarly, a second sub-randomization will be performed in the femoral access group into use of 18 vs 21 gauge needles, also in a 1:1 fashion.
