This study aimed to see if insulin, given as a nasal spray, reaches the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. Researchers planned to give a single dose of low or high insulin (or a placebo) to 18 healthy adults aged 36–55, then collect samples via spinal tap at several time poi…

This study looks at how well the body absorbs omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) from two different algae sources compared to fish oil and a placebo. 120 healthy adults will take one of the supplements daily for 6 weeks. The goal is to see if algae-based omega-3 is absorbed as wel…

This study looks at whether taking creatine for a week can help trained breath-hold divers perform better on a stationary bike while holding their breath. 26 healthy divers will take either creatine or a placebo, then do a breath-hold cycling test. Researchers will measure how fa…

This study aimed to see if tartrazine, a common food dye, could make skin temporarily transparent in healthy adults. Researchers planned to apply different doses to the back, stomach, and forearm and take photos every 5 minutes. However, the study was withdrawn before any partici…

This study looks at how the cerebellum, a part of the brain, helps us learn and adjust our speech. Researchers will use brain scans, magnetic stimulation, and speaking tasks in people with cerebellar ataxia (a movement disorder) and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better under…

This study tests a new, tethered capsule that takes detailed images of the upper small intestine (duodenum) as you swallow it. Researchers want to see if the procedure is comfortable and works well in 108 people, including healthy volunteers and those with celiac disease. The goa…

This study looks at how different breakfasts affect thinking and brain activity in 9-10 year old children. Researchers will give kids either a high protein or high carbohydrate shake and then test their memory, attention, and brain function using tests and brain scans. The goal i…

This study looks at 100 healthy 8-year-olds who were fed breast milk, milk-based formula, or soy-based formula during their first year. Researchers use brain scans and language tests to see if the type of infant diet affects brain function and language skills later in childhood.

This study looks at whether a mother's obesity during pregnancy can affect her baby's brain development. Researchers will use MRI scans on newborns at 2 weeks old to check for any differences. The study includes 13 healthy mothers with either a normal weight or obesity, but witho…

This study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants. It planned to use brain scans (SPECT) to see if two rehabilitation techniques—postural reconstruction and muscle stretching—change brain activity during a simple ankle movement in healthy adults aged 18 to 35. The goal w…

This phase 1 trial in 14 healthy adults tests whether grapefruit juice changes how the body absorbs and processes the blood thinner edoxaban. Participants take edoxaban alone and then with grapefruit juice to compare drug levels and clotting measures. The goal is to see if grapef…

This study tests a 12-week sports program called Girls PLAY designed to help rural girls aged 8-10 become more physically active. The program includes in-person sessions and take-home activities led by Boys & Girls Club staff. Researchers want to see if the program is feasible an…

This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique, called theta-burst stimulation, can help predict if depression will come back in people who are currently in remission. Researchers will measure brain activity changes during stimulation using a special imaging cap. The goal…

This study tests a wearable device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to the wrist (called transcutaneous electrical acustimulation, or TEA) in healthy adults. Participants wear the device for three days and use it for 60 minutes daily. The goal is to see if the device is …

This study looks at whether the way your gut absorbs sugar can predict how much weight you lose after bariatric surgery. Researchers will take small tissue samples from the intestine before and one year after surgery in 52 obese patients. They will check for changes in sugar abso…

This study was designed to see if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) could temporarily alter how healthy people make rational decisions. Participants would have undergone two sessions of either real or sham stimul…

This study investigates why cranberry juice prevents urinary tract infections (UTIs) in some women but not others. Researchers will have 160 healthy women who are prone to UTIs drink cranberry juice or a placebo (apple juice) daily for three weeks. They will measure how well the …
