Active clinical trials for "Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders"

Urine sample and exhaled Nitric Oxide will analyzed and compared between children diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and healthy control. Pilot study- 5 children in each group

The study proposes to test the efficacy of a primary care-based brief intervention with women who resumed heavy drinking during the post-partum period and who used alcohol during a previous pregnancy. The trial will also examine the effects of tobacco use, illicit drug use, depression and domestic violence on alcohol use.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an intervention aimed at reducing risk for alcohol-exposed pregnancies and preventing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in Russian children. The study will determine whether physicians, trained in a dual-focused brief motivational intervention and monitored for performance, can foster greater change in knowledge, health beliefs, alcohol use, and alcohol-exposed pregnancy risk in Russian women who are at risk than standard care.

This trial will pilot test intervention strategies to increase utilization of HIV testing and gain knowledge for designing a clinical trial to evaluate prevention strategies to reduce HIV sexual transmission in the general population in Russia. The study will assess whether external (cost, convenience) or internal factors (low perception of own risk, reluctance to identify a partner as at-risk, fear of stigma) drive Russian women's reluctance to be tested and if peer support impacts their decision. A randomized experimental manipulation, comparing opt-in vs. bundled opt-out testing approaches, followed by focus group discussions, followed by a second-chance testing offer will be used to inform these questions. The answers will enable the international research team to engineer and then test an HIV testing promotion strategy in Russia. The project will collect preliminary data for a larger study to develop an evidence-based program to reduce the HIV transmission in this high risk population.

The goal of this study was to determine whether a series of blood markers of alcohol use obtained from alcohol using pregnant women could help them to change their behavior.

This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled trial with two parallel arms and blinded endpoint assessment. It aims yo compare the 6-month efficacy of a group CBT program versus body-mediated intervention (meditation) children (7-13 years) with ADHD-associated FASD and emotional dysregulation via a measurement of the Aggressive Behaviors subscale score of the Dysregulation Profile subset of the CBCL scale.

The Institute of Health Economics is conducting a study to determine how a breathalyzer linked to a cloud based alcohol monitoring system changes alcohol consumption during pregnancy in women with alcohol dependency issues. IHE posits that the ability to self-monitor blood alcohol concentration and the ability to share sobriety via email or text with loved ones and counselors may reduce alcohol consumption and thus reduce the possibility of delivering a child with FASD. The study will provide useful evidence for tailoring future optimal maternal and child healthcare for women, with the potential of decreasing healthcare utilization by prevention of FASD. Breathalyzer device usage plus secure document sobriety should improve patient monitoring convenience and demonstrate reductions in alcohol use outside of traditional office visits and patient self-reports.

The purpose of this study is to help scientists understand why some people who were exposed to alcohol in the womb have special facial features but other people do not. This study will test if genetics (or DNA) explains these differences. We hope this will help improve treatments and interventions for people with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Participants in this study (or their parents or legal guardians) will be asked to: Answer some questions about themselves. These questions ask about their demographic background (such as gender, race, ethnicity, income, and education), their health history, and their mother's health during her pregnancy with them (if that information is known). Speak with study staff briefly by phone or video chat to confirm enrollment in the study and ask any questions they have. Take photographs of their face. Provide a saliva sample for genetic research. Participants can complete the study at home from anywhere in the world. The questions can be answered online, over the phone, or on paper. Adopted families are welcome to enroll. The study pays for all shipping costs.

The purpose of this study is to examine the association between maternal alcohol use and newborn phosphatidylethanol (PEth) levels in their newborn.

Children will receive comprehensive evaluations through the Children's Research Triangle (CRT) clinical program. The assessment for the child will be in accordance with the protocol developed by Astley and Clarren as performed by one of the clinic pediatricians and final diagnosis will be according to Institute of Medicine (IOM) criteria. Children will be randomized into either a Treatment or Control group. The Treatment group will receive (in addition to standard referrals) neurocognitive habilitation and psychotherapy services as well as parent psychoeducation. The Control group will be referred for intervention through existing community and school-based agencies.
