This study tests a 48-week home-based exercise program (resistance and aerobic training) delivered via a digital platform for people over 50 with or at risk of sarcopenia—age-related muscle loss. It also evaluates a new ultrasound method to detect early muscle changes. The goal i…

This study tests two different bone graft materials—one from cow bone and one synthetic—combined with a special enamel protein to repair deep gum and bone defects caused by periodontitis. Forty adults with at least one deep gum pocket (6 mm or more) and a bone defect will receive…

This study compares a special cold compression device (cryopressotherapy) to standard ice packs for people recovering from total knee replacement. Researchers will measure pain, mobility, swelling, and patient-reported outcomes 14 days after surgery. The goal is to see if the dev…

This study investigates whether differences in strength, flexibility, or function between the two legs are linked to a higher risk of falls in adults aged 65 and older. Researchers will assess balance, mobility, and reaction time in 90 participants to see if these asymmetries can…

This study tracks 98 people with peripheral artery disease who had a stent placed in their iliac artery. Researchers want to see which patients later develop serious limb complications, like needing another procedure or amputation. They will also check if frailty plays a role. Th…

This study tests a special urine collection toilet in the radiology department. After a CT scan with contrast dye, participants wait about an hour and use the device. Researchers want to see if patients accept it and how much contrast dye can be recovered from the urine. The goal…

This observational study tests whether artificial intelligence can automatically recognize clean surgical areas and key bone landmarks on video from routine ACL knee reconstruction. About 100 adults undergoing ACL surgery will have standard arthroscopic video recorded and used to…

This study follows 450 adults with gout, CPPD (a crystal-related joint disease), or osteoarthritis to see how crystal deposits in joints and blood vessels change over time. Participants receive routine care and undergo ultrasound and lab tests every six months for up to 10 years.…

This study looks at 200 people with a family history of heart disease but no symptoms. They will get a special CT scan and a blood test to find hidden, high-risk plaque in their arteries. The goal is to see if the scan can better predict who needs early treatment compared to stan…

This study aims to see how well a new lab method (Maglumi X3 SNIBE) measures vitamin D levels compared to other standard methods. Researchers will take blood samples from 200 healthy volunteers and patients. The goal is to ensure different labs give consistent and accurate result…

This study aims to create a model that predicts how long patients will need inpatient rehabilitation after hip or knee replacement for osteoarthritis. Researchers will collect data from 400 patients to validate the model. The goal is to personalize care and improve quality of lif…

This study aims to create a realistic 3D bioprinted model of a spinal disc using human cells from five patients undergoing spine surgery. Researchers will compare the gene activity of cells in the model to real disc cells to see how well the model mimics the body. The goal is to …

This study follows 100 people who had total ankle replacement for arthritis. Researchers want to see if the implants last 10 years and how well patients do when the surgery is performed by surgeons who did not design the implant. Participants will have regular check-ups, X-rays, …

This study looks at how different kinds of physical activity change bone metabolism in 200 healthy professional athletes. Researchers will test blood and saliva for markers of bone turnover, hormones, and other substances. The goal is to understand why different sports affect bon…
