This study tests whether the diabetes drug metformin can prevent blood sugar increases caused by statins in people with schizophrenia. Researchers will give 400 patients either metformin or a placebo alongside atorvastatin for six months. The goal is to see if metformin helps kee…

This study tests whether a 6-week digital mindfulness program, delivered through a mobile app, can help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) manage their symptoms. The trial compares the digital therapy alone, standard medication alone, and a combination of both in 150…

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can improve working memory in people with schizophrenia. Thirty participants receive both real and sham stimulation in separate sessions while pe…

This study tests a 9-month program to prevent obesity in 2,340 primary school children aged 6-12 in Pakistan. The program includes health education, daily physical activity, parent workshops, and regular feedback via WhatsApp. Half the schools will get the program, the other half…

This early study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called time interference stimulation (TIS) can help with thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia. Ten adults aged 18-50 will receive TIS twice a day for two weeks. Researchers will measure changes in…

This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called time interference stimulation (TIS) to see if it can improve thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia. Fifty adults aged 18-50 with schizophrenia will receive either real TIS or a fake (sham) tr…

This study tests whether a precise magnetic pulse to a specific brain area can improve negative symptoms like apathy and social withdrawal in people with schizophrenia. Forty participants will receive either real or sham stimulation daily for 10 days. Researchers will measure sym…

This study investigates whether immune inflammation in the blood and brain is linked to brain structure, function, and symptoms in people with schizophrenia. Researchers will follow 200 participants for three months, collecting clinical data, brain scans, and biological samples. …

This study looks at 500 people with a rare type of lung cancer that has air-filled pockets (cysts). Researchers want to find the best way to measure these tumors to improve staging and predict outcomes. By reviewing past CT scans and health records, they hope to help doctors make…

This observational study looks at 300 people with early-stage lung cancer to understand why different types of the disease behave differently. Researchers will analyze genes, immune cells, and other markers from tumor samples. The goal is to find patterns that could lead to bette…

This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze patient data—like medical history, scans, and lab results—to predict how well esophageal cancer patients respond to chemoimmunotherapy before surgery. Researchers aim to build a model that identifies who achieves a complete respo…
