This study tests a device called AAJT-S that is designed to stop severe bleeding in the torso or lower body after a traumatic injury. The device works by blocking blood flow below the waist, which can help stabilize patients in the emergency room or even before they reach the hos…

This study looks at whether a 12-week exercise program can improve how well immunotherapy works in people with non-small cell lung cancer. One hundred participants will either do moderate or high-intensity interval cycling, or receive standard exercise advice. Researchers will me…

This study tests a temporary scaffold system for leg arteries in 40 patients with severe leg disease (chronic limb-threatening ischemia) who are at high risk due to diabetes or dialysis. The scaffold is removed after treatment, and a drug-coated balloon is used to improve blood f…

This study will test a new blood test (liquid biopsy) to see if it can find and track testicular cancer in 200 men. Half have early-stage cancer and half have cancer that has spread. The test looks for cancer DNA in the blood, which may help doctors monitor the disease, especiall…

This study tests whether using a special brain monitor (BIS) to guide sedation can reduce the amount of sedative medicine given to adults in the ICU after heart surgery. About 144 participants will be randomly assigned to either BIS-guided sedation or standard care. The goal is t…

This study compares three common surgeries for an enlarged prostate (BPH) in 198 men: Rezum (water vapor), HoLEP (laser), and TURP (standard cutting). The goal is to see which one improves urination, quality of life, and sexual function the most. Results will help doctors advise …

This study looks at whether interacting with horses can help people who feel stressed. About 123 adults with high stress levels will be compared to those who just observe nature and to a control group with low stress. Researchers will measure heart rate and mood before, right aft…

This study compares partial knee replacement (UKA) to total knee replacement (TKA) in 102 adults with medial knee osteoarthritis. The goal is to see which surgery leads to better pain relief, knee function, and quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to one proced…

This study looks at whether giving surfactant (a lung medicine) over 1 minute or 5 minutes helps very premature babies (under 28 weeks) stay more stable. The goal is to see which speed keeps oxygen levels in the blood and brain more steady. 76 babies will be randomly assigned to …

This study tests whether an extended reality (XR) training program can help nurses cope with work stress and prevent burnout. About 232 nurses from European hospitals will either take part in eight VR sessions over ten weeks or continue their usual routine. Researchers will measu…

This pilot study looks at whether a common diabetes medication (GLP-1 receptor agonists) can improve gum health in people with both type 2 diabetes and periodontitis (severe gum disease). Researchers will measure changes in gum pocket depth, bleeding, and tooth mobility over time…

This study checks if custom 3D liver models help surgeons better predict how much liver to remove during major surgery. About 25 adults having liver resection will get a 3D model before surgery. After surgery, the removed piece is scanned to see if the model's prediction matches …

This study looks back at medical records of 200 liver cancer patients in Austria to see if getting an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine within three months before starting immunotherapy improves their response to cancer treatment. Researchers will also check if vaccination affects survival o…

This study looks at whether a blood test (liquid biopsy) can help diagnose and monitor cartilage tumors called chondrosarcomas. Researchers will collect blood samples from 60 patients over two years to look for specific genetic changes linked to these tumors. The goal is to see i…
