This study aimed to see if removing additional small clots after the main blockage is cleared could help stroke patients recover better. It planned to compare standard care with extra mechanical or drug-based treatments. However, the trial was withdrawn and enrolled zero particip…

This study tests whether a special heat probe, inserted through an endoscope, can help people with inoperable pancreatic cancer live longer. About 108 participants will either receive the heat treatment plus standard care, or standard care alone. The trial is currently on hold, s…

This study compares two ways to check for returning cervical pre-cancer after treatment: the standard colposcopy exam versus a high-risk HPV DNA test. Over 2,200 women who were treated for high-grade cervical lesions will be randomly assigned to one of the two follow-up methods. …

This study tests if microneedling, a technique that creates tiny skin channels, followed by cortisone cream can improve burn scars. It aims to make scars softer, thinner, and less red. The trial includes 36 adults with at least two burn scars.

This study tests a new robotic surgery technique for stage I lung cancer. Instead of making cuts between the ribs, surgeons place the robot's tools below the ribcage. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and feasible, and if it can reduce pain and hospital stays. The trial…

This study looks at whether doing pelvic floor exercises before prostate surgery can help men avoid urine leakage afterward. About 30 men with an enlarged prostate will either do exercises before surgery or get standard care. The goal is to see if patients and doctors find the ex…

This pilot study compares two approaches to giving fluids during liver transplant surgery: a restrictive strategy that removes some blood early and returns it later, versus a liberal strategy that keeps blood flow high. The goal is to see if a larger study is possible by checking…

This study investigates why some people develop chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps, focusing on how epigenetic changes and viruses might trigger the disease. Researchers will analyze tissue samples from 60 participants, including patients with active disease, those in remission,…

This study was designed to compare two newer technologies for cataract surgery: a femtosecond laser and a special handpiece that monitors eye pressure. The goal was to see if these tools cause less damage to the cornea and use less energy than standard methods. However, the study…

This study compares a proactive, prescription-based fluid management plan to usual care in 150 critically ill patients who need kidney replacement therapy (dialysis). The goal is to see if a standardized daily prescription can help achieve a neutral or negative fluid balance, pre…
