This study compares two glucose monitoring methods—fingerstick checks and continuous glucose monitors—in 360 adults with type 2 diabetes who use insulin. Over 12 months, researchers will measure changes in blood sugar control (A1C) and diabetes-related distress. The goal is to se…

This study tests whether a computer tool that uses continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data can help primary care doctors make better decisions for people with type 2 diabetes who use insulin. About 150 adults with type 2 diabetes and high blood sugar will take part. The goal is to …

This study looks at whether a special dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can be used instead of standard X-ray dye to see frostbite damage. Eight adults with severe frostbite will get both tests to see if the results match. If ICG works as well, it may be a safer option for patie…

This small study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation (TBS) can improve thinking and memory in people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. Six participants will receive either real TBS or a sham (fake) treatment to see if the re…

This study looks at medical records of 50 cancer patients who believe cannabis helped stop their tumor from growing or shrink it. Researchers want to understand if cannabis really has anti-cancer benefits. The study does not test a new treatment but gathers information from patie…

This study aimed to see if using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) along with standard finger-stick tests helps hospital staff manage patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or very high blood sugar. It planned to enroll adults in the emergency room who needed a new insulin in…

This study tests whether a registry can collect real-world information from people with Alzheimer's who take lecanemab and their care partners. The goal is to see if it's possible to track outcomes like quality of life and caregiver burden outside of a formal clinical trial. Abou…

This study tests a web-based tool that gives doctors and patients personalized information about the benefits and risks of different obesity treatments, such as surgery or medication. The goal is to see if this tool helps more patients with type 2 diabetes and severe obesity get …

This study was designed to see if insulin given as a nasal spray can reach the brain and spinal fluid. Researchers planned to give a single dose to 18 healthy middle-aged adults and collect fluid samples over 40 minutes. The study was withdrawn before any participants were enroll…
