This study is testing whether robot-assisted surgery can help predict which testicular cancer patients need chemotherapy and which don't. Researchers will perform the surgery on 60 men with early-stage metastatic seminoma, then use clinical and molecular factors to estimate recur…

This study is testing whether performing a procedure to open blocked leg arteries within 48 hours helps diabetic foot ulcers heal better than waiting for a standard scheduled procedure. It will involve 200 adults with type 2 diabetes and a foot ulcer. Researchers will use a 3D ca…

This study is testing if smartwatches can help monitor a rare nerve disease called CIDP in patients receiving at-home treatment. Researchers will give 35 participants a smartwatch to wear for a year, tracking their activity, sleep, and heart rate. The goal is to see if this conti…

This German study is checking the safety of a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called Transcranial Pulse Wave Stimulation (TPS) for people with Alzheimer's disease. It will follow 100 patients to watch for any side effects and see if the treatment helps with memory, mood,…

This study is testing whether a special blood analysis can find signs of hidden cancer in people with rare neurological conditions called paraneoplastic syndromes. Researchers will collect blood from 60 participants, including patients with these syndromes and some with known tum…

This study is testing whether a special type of scan (PET/MRI), analyzed by artificial intelligence, can accurately tell if a patient's HER2-positive breast cancer has been completely eliminated by drug treatment before surgery. It aims to see if these scans can predict and confi…

This study is testing a new, minimally invasive robot-assisted technique to find out if testicular cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. Currently, many patients receive strong chemotherapy or surgery they might not need. The new method uses a special green dye and a robot to …

This study aims to understand why people with type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop heart failure. Researchers will observe 500 participants with heart failure, some with and some without diabetes, to see how their heart cells produce energy. The goal is to gather knowledge …

This study aims to understand how often people with neurological conditions have trouble swallowing their medication. Researchers will observe 500 participants, including healthy volunteers, to see if using a special swallowing gel or mixing pills with semi-solid foods makes the …

This study is a registry that collects information from patients who undergo specific heart rhythm procedures at University Hospital Düsseldorf. It aims to track the safety, effectiveness, and long-term outcomes of these standard treatments in real-world practice. The data will b…

This study aims to understand how sleep problems contribute to severe fatigue and thinking difficulties in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers will use detailed overnight sleep studies and thinking tests on about 382 people with MS and a comparison group. The goal is…

This study aims to understand why certain effective MS therapies continue to work long after treatment. Researchers will closely follow 100 people with relapsing-remitting MS who are taking specific B-cell targeting drugs. They will collect detailed health data and blood samples …

This study follows 270 heart transplant patients over time to understand how metabolism changes after surgery and affects heart function. Researchers will use advanced scans, blood tests, and tissue samples to track how problems with sugar, fat, and organ function develop. The go…

This study aims to understand how a major heart attack affects communication between the heart and other organs in the body. Researchers will follow 1,000 patients who have had a severe heart attack (STEMI) to collect detailed information about their recovery over time. The goal …

This study aims to understand why swallowing difficulties, a common and dangerous problem in Parkinson's disease, occur. Researchers will examine 100 Parkinson's patients using swallowing tests, brain scans, and blood tests to find biological markers and see how the brain might t…
