This study compares a new surgical method called RADAR to the standard approach for creating a blood vessel connection (fistula) used for dialysis in people with end-stage kidney disease. The new technique involves moving the radial artery to attach to a nearby vein with minimal …

This study follows 20 adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type II who are already taking SPINRAZA, a medication given via spinal injection. Researchers will measure changes in motor function, like sitting, standing, and arm movement, over 27 months. The goal is to see how w…

This study looks at whether a tailored exercise program can help people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) reduce fat in their liver. About 115 adults with NAFLD will follow a personalized diet and exercise plan for several months. The main goal is to see if liver fat…

This study tests a special ultrasound technique called Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) to see blood flow inside eye tumors. The goal is to help doctors better tell whether a suspicious spot in the eye is benign or malignant. About 22 adults with untreated eye tumors will be sc…

This study compares lung ultrasound (LUS) and chest X-ray (CR) for diagnosing community-acquired pneumonia in 47 emergency room patients. The goal is to see if LUS, a noninvasive and easy-to-use tool, can accurately detect pneumonia and potentially reduce unnecessary antibiotic u…

This pilot study explores whether fine motor hand exercises can improve swallowing skills in older adults who recently had a stroke. About 30 participants over age 70 with swallowing problems will be enrolled. The goal is to see if activating hand and mouth brain areas together h…

This study tests whether adding a special laser (1064nm 650 microsecond) to a standard depigmenting cream can better treat melasma and prevent it from returning. Thirty adults with moderate to severe melasma will apply the cream to their whole face and receive laser on only one s…

This study tests if robot-assisted prostate removal can be safely done as outpatient surgery for men with localized prostate cancer. Twenty patients will be followed for one month to see if they can avoid an overnight hospital stay. The goal is to make recovery more convenient an…

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who haven't gotten better with standard treatments like therapy or antidepressants. About 43 participants will receive low-level electrical current through ele…

This study tests a two-part plant-based treatment for women who get bladder infections (cystitis) at least 4 times a year. The treatment uses antibacterial essential oils during an infection and herbal remedies to prevent future ones. 15 women will try this approach for 12 months…

This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset during chest drainage can lower anxiety and pain. About 38 adults with pneumothorax or pleural effusion will either get standard care or a personalized VR experience. The goal is to make the procedure more comfortable witho…

This study aims to find blood markers that could identify women at high risk for recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Researchers will measure certain immune system signals in blood samples from 109 healthy women aged 18-28, comparing those with a history of one UTI to thos…

This study is testing a new, comfortable headset that reads brain signals to help people with ALS communicate by typing on a virtual keyboard. The headset uses dry electrodes and is designed for daily use. Five people with ALS will try the device, and researchers will measure how…

This study looks at whether artificial intelligence (AI) can give the same skin disease diagnosis as a skin doctor (dermatologist). Researchers will review 1000 adults whose general practitioner sent a photo and question to a dermatologist through a special platform. They will co…

This study aimed to see if a detailed care plan for extremely premature babies (born before 28 weeks or weighing under 1000 grams) could be successfully used during their critical first hour of life. The plan focused on quickly stabilizing the baby by starting fluids, medicines, …

This study looks at how the immune system behaves in the blood of people with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema). Researchers will collect blood samples from 11 adults and stimulate them in a lab to measure immune signals. The goal is to better understand the disease a…

This study looks at a heart medication called verapamil, which is also used to prevent cluster headaches. Because the doses needed for headaches are much higher than for heart conditions, the study checks how often it causes a mild heart block. Researchers will monitor 60 adults …

This study focuses on improving how we measure disease progression in people with advanced Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) who use wheelchairs. Researchers will test various physical tests and assessments over two years in 30 participants. The goal is to find reliab…

This study tracks how long the flu virus remains in the upper airways of 18 hospitalized adults who are taking the antiviral drug oseltamivir (Tamiflu). The goal is to see if the virus clears faster than the standard 5-8 day isolation period, which could help hospitals use rooms …

This study looks at how brain tumors change the way different parts of the brain connect and communicate. Researchers will use brain scans and electrical recordings from 30 adults scheduled for tumor removal. The goal is to better understand brain plasticity and improve surgical …
