This study is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can reduce severe, treatment-resistant nerve pain in people with spinal cord injuries. Researchers will compare stimulating two different brain areas to see which is more effective at lowering pain scores. T…

This study is comparing two different ways to perform a nerve block for patients having forearm or hand surgery. The goal is to see which method works better for controlling pain during and after the operation, specifically for patients with obesity. Researchers will measure how …

This study is testing whether adding a special machine-guided balance training program to standard scoliosis exercises can improve stability and posture in teenagers with mild spinal curves. Researchers will compare two groups of 60 teens over 4 weeks to see if the extra training…

This study tests whether combining two therapies helps stroke patients with hemispatial neglect—a condition where they ignore one side of their world. Researchers will use gentle magnetic brain stimulation along with mirror therapy, where a mirror tricks the brain into seeing the…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) and improve balance in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers will apply magnetic pulses to the brain and measure changes in stiffness, balance, walkin…

This study is testing whether adding cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy) to standard pelvic floor exercises helps people with a specific type of chronic constipation called dyssynergic defecation. Researchers will enroll 26 adults who have had constipation for o…

This study aims to find out which type of anesthesia provides better pain relief and satisfaction for Parkinson's patients having the battery in their deep brain stimulator replaced. Researchers will compare two common methods: putting the patient fully to sleep (general anesthes…

This study is testing if a walking program that combines outdoor walks with indoor treadmill use, guided by a mobile app, can help women with fibromyalgia. The goal is to see if this approach improves their physical fitness, reduces pain-related fear of movement, and enhances the…

This study is testing a specific type of knee-strengthening exercise to see if it can improve balance and body awareness in people recovering from a stroke. Researchers will work with 34 stroke survivors to measure changes in their stability and sense of limb position. The goal i…

This study is comparing two different numbing techniques used during a common varicose vein procedure. Researchers want to see which method—a spinal injection or a nerve block in the groin—allows patients to go home sooner and regain feeling and movement in their leg faster after…

This study aims to understand if taking chemotherapy as a pill versus through an IV affects sleep quality and depression levels in patients with non-metastatic gastrointestinal cancers. Researchers will follow 82 patients, measuring their sleep and mood at the start of treatment …

This study is testing if a targeted numbing injection (nerve block) given before nose reshaping surgery can reduce the amount of strong pain medication needed during the operation. Researchers will compare 90 patients, with half receiving the nerve block and half not, to see if i…

This study aims to understand how standard prostate cancer treatments affect patients' thinking, energy levels, mood, and sleep. Researchers will observe 102 men with advanced prostate cancer who are already receiving standard hormone-blocking medications. The study will track ch…

This study aims to understand if what doctors see on a shoulder ultrasound is linked to how much pain a person feels after a stroke. Researchers will enroll 100 adults who have had a stroke in the last six months and are experiencing shoulder pain on their weakened side. They wil…

This study aims to understand if early-onset preeclampsia affects the development of specific brain structures in unborn babies. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure the fornix and hippocampus in 84 pregnant women—half with early-onset preeclampsia and half healthy controls…

This study aims to understand when stroke survivors are most at risk for developing osteoporosis (bone weakening). Researchers will compare bone density and other health measures in people during early stroke recovery (1 week to 6 months) versus long-term recovery (over 1 year). …

This study aims to see if daily physical activity, measured by a smartwatch, is linked to how well breast cancer patients respond to treatment before surgery. Researchers will track step counts, sleep, and heart rate in 82 women receiving pre-surgery therapy to see if more activi…

This study aims to see if artificial intelligence (AI) can predict which patients might develop pain, swelling, or nerve problems after breast cancer surgery. Researchers will use AI models to analyze patient data and try to spot those at high risk for these complications. The go…

This study aims to see whether video-based or written educational materials help new mothers better understand and improve their pelvic floor health after childbirth. Researchers will enroll 141 women who recently gave birth and randomly assign them to receive either video or wri…

This study aims to understand how well the recovery goals set by a stroke patient's caregiver align with those set by their physical therapist. Researchers will follow 58 people recovering from a recent stroke to compare expectations and actual progress. The goal is to improve ho…
