This study is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help reduce rumination—repetitive negative thinking—in adults with major depression that hasn't responded to at least one medication. Researchers will give 20 participants 20 sessions of transcranial mag…

This study is testing a small, handheld device that doctors can use at the bedside to quickly check brain and nerve activity. The goal is to see if this portable tool can give the same useful information as standard hospital tests like MRI or full EEG, but much faster. About 30 a…

This study looks at whether a bedside ultrasound (POCUS) can reliably diagnose acute chest syndrome in children and young adults with sickle cell disease. Researchers will compare ultrasound results to standard chest X-rays. The goal is to see if this faster, radiation-free tool …

This study tests a new AI-powered talk therapy called Smart Virtual Reminiscence (SVR) for older adults with mild dementia or memory problems. The therapy uses a virtual coach to help people share memories and improve their mood and thinking. Researchers want to see if it can red…

This study tests a mobile app called Brain CareNotes to see if it can reduce stress for unpaid caregivers of people with Alzheimer's or related dementias. Over 12 months, 184 caregivers will use either the app or a basic education app. The goal is to lessen caregiver burden and m…

This study looks at whether computerized cognitive training and Tai Chi-Qi Gong exercises can help people with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will compare these activities to a control group to see if they improve memory, thinking, and mood. The study involves 60 pa…

This study tests whether breathing a lighter gas mixture (heliox) can reduce the effort of breathing and improve thinking in military personnel. Fifteen healthy adults aged 18-40 will perform attention tasks while breathing normal air or heliox. The goal is to see if lowering bre…

This study is testing a device called TEG 6s that measures how well blood clots. Researchers want to see if it gives accurate results in healthy children under 18 who are having planned surgery. About 125 kids will give a small blood sample at the start of their operation. The go…

This study follows 150 people who recently had a stroke to see how their walking ability recovers over time. Researchers will measure walking speed and distance, and look at how patients develop new ways to move. The goal is to create better rules for predicting and improving rec…

This study looks at whether nerve damage in the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) causes ongoing eye problems in people with ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a complication after a stem cell transplant. Researchers will measure corneal sensation in 30 participants …
