This study tests whether giving radiation in a smaller, more focused area can reduce side effects and improve quality of life for people with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. About 347 participants will receive standard chemoradiotherapy, but half will get a smaller radi…

This study is testing whether MRI can be used instead of CT scans to measure the pelvis in pregnant women who have had a previous C-section. The goal is to avoid exposing the mother and baby to radiation from CT. About 95 women will be enrolled, and researchers will compare the a…

This study tests an improved whole-body MRI scan that uses special sequences to detect bone lesions in people with multiple myeloma. The goal is to see if this single, radiation-free scan can replace multiple imaging tests. About 45 adults with newly diagnosed or recurrent myelom…

This study compares two types of radiation therapy for prostate cancer: adaptive radiotherapy, which adjusts daily to changes in the body, and conventional radiotherapy. The goal is to see if adaptive treatment causes fewer side effects like urinary or digestive problems. About 1…

This study explores whether brain tumor patients can safely receive radiotherapy without wearing an immobilization mask. Instead, a surface imaging system will track their position and movement. Twenty adults will have one session with a mask and one without, comparing stability …

This study looks at 50 adults who had a cardiac arrest to see if new blood tests and brain ultrasounds can better predict how well their brains will recover. Doctors currently have limited ways to know who will wake up and who won't. By combining these tools with standard checks,…

This study aims to understand why people with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps often lose their sense of smell. Researchers will compare genetic and functional samples from the nose of 140 participants before and after 3 months of treatment. The goal is to uncover how inflammat…

This study looks at 350 hospitalized patients with alcohol use disorder to find patterns and risk factors that lead to relapse after detox. Participants fill out questionnaires, undergo evaluations, and take an electrical brain test. The goal is to create a tool that gives patien…

This study explores whether exposure to blue light can enhance the effects of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in people with refractory epilepsy. Researchers will measure brain activity and pupil responses in 34 participants (including healthy volunteers) to see if blue light impro…

This study looks at the physical properties of lung mucus in 500 people with obstructive lung disease. Researchers want to see how these properties change after standard breathing treatments or exercise. The goal is to better understand the disease, not to test a new treatment.

This study looks at brain wave patterns (EEG) in 280 adults during general anesthesia with either propofol or sevoflurane. The goal is to see if one drug produces different brain activity, which could help predict who might develop confusion after surgery. Participants are adults…

This study looks at how movement and thinking skills are connected in people with brain damage from conditions like cerebral palsy or stroke. Researchers will use a special robotic tool to measure arm movements and thinking tasks more precisely. The goal is to improve diagnosis a…

This study looks at whether using a portable ultrasound (PoCUS) helps emergency doctors improve how they diagnose chest and belly pain. About 406 adults with pain lasting less than 72 hours will take part. A panel of experts will compare the doctor's diagnosis plan before and aft…
