This trial investigates whether a surgically implanted device that delivers personalized electrical stimulation to the spinal cord can improve upper limb function in people with spinal cord injury. Twenty participants with injuries at or above the T4 level will receive the implan…

This study tests whether an implanted epidural electrical stimulator can help people with spinal cord injury move better. Twenty participants will receive the device and undergo physical rehabilitation. Researchers will measure brain activity, muscle signals, and joint movement t…

This study tests whether a surgically implanted device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can improve arm and hand movement in people who have paralysis on one side after a stroke. Twenty participants aged 20 to 70 will receive the implant along with physical th…

This trial tests whether far infrared radiation and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) can reduce common side effects in people with head and neck cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy. Participants are randomly assigned to standard care alone, standard care plus TE…

This pilot study tests whether acupoint moxibustion—a traditional Chinese medicine procedure where a herb is burned near specific points on the body—can safely reduce nighttime urination in adults aged 40 and older who get up to urinate two or more times per night. Researchers wi…

This study investigates how epidural spinal cord stimulation (EES) influences communication between the brain, spinal cord, and muscles in people with spinal cord injury. Researchers will record electrical signals from the spine, brain, and muscles during temporary stimulation to…

This study looks at whether an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program helps orthopedic surgery patients feel less anxious before their operation and recover better one year later, compared to standard care. ERAS includes patient education, better pain management, and earl…

This study looks at whether combining PET scan images with genetic testing can better predict how well non-small cell lung cancer patients will respond to treatment and how long they might survive. Researchers will analyze scans and tumor samples from 120 adults. The goal is to c…
