This study tests whether special heart imaging software can help doctors find the best settings for pacemakers used in heart failure patients. Researchers will create 3D computer models of patients' hearts using MRI scans to measure electrical activity. They'll test 16 different …

This study tests whether a remote support program can help patients with heart failure better prepare for heart surgery and reduce serious complications. About 162 high-risk patients will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or a special program with remote monito…

This study aims to create a better screening method to detect lung problems in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers will collect detailed health information from 800 Austrian adults with rheumatoid arthritis, including scans, blood tests, and breathing tests. They'll use…

This study aims to understand how gender-affirming hormone therapy and chest surgery affect feelings of distress related to breast development in transgender men and gender-diverse individuals. Researchers will follow 100 participants who have not yet started treatment, measuring…

This study is testing if a personalized preparation program before hip or knee replacement surgery helps people recover better. 180 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or standard care plus a 'prehab' program. The program includes tailored exerc…

This study is testing if applying gentle shockwaves to the leg wound after heart bypass surgery can help it heal faster and prevent infections. It will involve 120 patients who are having a specific type of vein harvesting for their bypass. Half will receive the real shockwave tr…

This study is testing a weekly group program designed to help teens with migraines. The program combines exercise, muscle relaxation techniques, and education about migraines. Researchers want to see if this non-drug approach can reduce how often teens get migraines and how bad t…

This study is testing whether patients who have had a heart attack can be safely sent home from the hospital much sooner than usual. It will compare sending patients home about one day after treatment to the standard stay of more than a day and a half. Researchers want to see if …

This study aims to learn if data already collected by modern pacemakers—like sleep apnea patterns and irregular heartbeats—can predict future serious health events like strokes or heart attacks. It will follow 1,000 people with specific pacemaker models for up to five years, obse…

This is a laboratory study, not a treatment trial. Researchers are testing if specific mixtures of common numbing medications form crystals when mixed with human spinal fluid. They are using leftover fluid samples from 10 patients with a brain fluid condition. The goal is to unde…
