This study looks at whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) along with a mobile app can help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar better than standard care. Sixty adults will be randomly assigned to either the digital tool group or usual care, and their …

This study tests a special pacing lead placed in the left bundle branch area of the heart for people with symptomatic bradycardia (slow heartbeat). The goal is to see if this approach works well, is safe, and provides stable pacing over 12 months. About 134 adults who need a new …

This study looks at whether adding a special balloon-based internal radiation treatment after standard chemoradiation can lower the chance of the tumor coming back in people with esophageal cancer who chose not to have surgery. About 18 adults aged 20-85 with stage I-III esophage…

This study tests whether adding sodium benzoate (a common food preservative) to brain stimulation therapy can improve thinking and memory in people with early Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment. 140 participants will receive two weeks of brain stimulation and then 24 weeks …

This study looks at standardizing the surgical process for patients with advanced or recurrent rectal cancer that has spread to nearby organs. The procedure, called pelvic exenteration, removes the tumor along with affected structures. The goal is to improve teamwork among surgeo…

This study compares two CT urography methods for diagnosing urothelial carcinoma (a type of urinary tract cancer). 352 adults with blood in urine or a history of this cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either a single-bolus or split-bolus CT scan. Researchers will compar…

This study tests whether a special MRI can tell the difference between harmless and cancerous kidney growths when standard CT scans cannot see fat. About 44 adults with kidney masses that have no visible fat on CT will get this advanced MRI. The goal is to see if the MRI can iden…

This study is creating a screening tool called CADAS that uses a chatbot and a robot to assess motor, thinking, language, and social skills in children aged 1 to 6. Researchers will compare the robot's assessments with those done by humans in 180 children from preschools in Taiwa…

This study is testing a new AI-based system called AIMAS that aims to assess motor skills in children aged 6 to 12. The goal is to see if the AI can reliably identify kids with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) compared to standard clinical methods. Researchers will enrol…

This study planned to compare two approaches for managing pain after shoulder surgery: neurofeedback training (a technique that teaches you to control your brain activity) and a standard pain management program. The goal was to see which method better reduces pain, improves shoul…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta-burst stimulation (TBS) can improve cognitive function in people diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's disease (before age 65). Seventy participants will receive TBS to a specific brain area, and re…

This study tests a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program (CPRP) for people having lung surgery. The program includes aerobic and resistance exercises, breathing exercises, and home activities. Researchers want to see if it improves walking distance, lung function, and re…

This study looks at 100 adults who already got dental implants to see if the angle of the crown above the implant affects bone and gum health. Researchers will measure crown angles and check for bone loss and gum changes using X-rays and 3D scans. The goal is to find out which cr…

This study looks at how combining mirror therapy, electrical stimulation, and motor imagery changes brain activity in people with recent forearm nerve injuries and in healthy adults. Researchers want to understand if these therapies can help the brain adapt better after injury. T…

This study looks at whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta-burst stimulation (TBS) can improve memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Researchers will use brain scans and cognitive tests to see who responds best and how the brain changes. …

This study looks at whether detailed analysis of MRI scans (called radiomics) can better predict how aggressive a prostate cancer is and whether it will come back soon after surgery. Researchers will study 125 men with prostate cancer who have an MRI before treatment. The goal is…

This study enrolls 40 people with non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have stopped responding to targeted therapy (tyrosine kinase inhibitors). Researchers will analyze the tumors' full genetic code and RNA to find new resistance mechanisms. The goal is to better understand w…

This study looks at whether children's physical fitness is connected to having flatfoot. Researchers will measure fitness, body fat, muscle, and foot shape in 600 kids aged 1 to 18. The goal is to understand possible causes like genetics, exercise habits, and weight. No treatment…

This study follows 6,000 preterm and full-term infants from birth to age 3 to see how factors like birth weight and complications affect their thinking, language, and movement skills. Researchers will track growth and health to build a Taiwan-specific database, helping doctors pr…

This study looks at whether teaching people how to care for their mouth and teeth can improve oral health, sleep, and quality of life for those using a non-invasive ventilator at home. Thirty adults will be split into two groups: one gets standard printed leaflets, the other gets…
