This study tests whether a structured telemedicine program before heart surgery can reduce complications in people with heart failure. The program includes education, medication adjustments, remote monitoring, and supervised exercise. Researchers will compare outcomes like death,…

This study explores whether a smartphone can detect aortic valve stenosis, a serious heart condition, by recording heart sounds and chest vibrations. Researchers will compare smartphone data with standard echocardiograms in 500 patients. If accurate, this could lead to a simple, …

This study tests a group therapy program for teens aged 13-17 with migraine. The program combines high-intensity interval training, progressive muscle relaxation, and education over 18 weeks. Researchers want to see if it reduces headache frequency, pain, and the need for medicat…

This study tests whether a structured preparation program before hip or knee replacement surgery can help people recover faster. The program includes personalized exercise, nutritional advice, stress and pain support, and medication review. Researchers will compare recovery in 18…

This study tests whether applying shockwaves to leg wounds after vein harvesting can reduce healing problems in people undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. About 120 participants will receive either real shockwave treatment or a sham (fake) treatment. The goal is to see if …

This study tests a new way to adjust pacemakers in people with heart failure. Researchers will use a non-invasive imaging technique (like an advanced ECG) to measure how quickly the heart's chambers activate under 16 different pacemaker settings. The goal is to find the setting t…

This study looks at whether people who have a heart attack can be discharged from the hospital after about 24 hours instead of the usual 36 hours or more. Researchers want to see if early discharge is just as safe and does not increase the risk of death, another heart attack, or …

This study follows 100 trans men and gender-diverse individuals to see how hormone therapy and mastectomy change feelings of breast-related distress. Researchers will measure distress levels before and after each step. The goal is to understand which treatments help most and how …

This lab study uses leftover spinal fluid from 10 patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus to see if common numbing medicines form crystals. Researchers mix different drugs and watch for crystals over 60 minutes. The goal is to understand risks, not to treat patients directly.

This study follows 1000 people with slow heart rates who already have a specific pacemaker. Researchers want to see if the pacemaker's data on sleep breathing and activity can predict future heart attacks, strokes, or irregular heartbeats. No new treatments are given—just observa…

This study will observe 800 adults with rheumatoid arthritis in Austria to create a standard screening method for lung complications. Researchers will use CT scans, lung function tests, and AI analysis to identify those at high risk. The goal is to detect lung problems earlier an…
