This study compares two methods for rebuilding jawbone before dental implants: using bone from a donor versus using the patient's own bone. Researchers will measure how much bone width is gained, track safety and complications, and follow implant success for up to five years. The…

This large study is testing whether high-dose vitamin D can reduce deaths in critically ill patients who have severe vitamin D deficiency. The trial will enroll 2,400 adult ICU patients across multiple hospitals, randomly giving them either vitamin D or a placebo. Researchers wan…

This study is testing if using a special blood test (thrombelastography or TEG) to check and correct clotting problems before a liver shunt procedure is safe and works better than standard tests. It involves 39 adults with liver cirrhosis who need the shunt placed. The goal is to…

This study aims to understand why standard treatment for bee venom allergy fails for some people. Researchers will test adults with a history of severe allergic reactions to bee stings to see if being highly sensitive to a specific part of the venom makes the treatment less effec…

This study is testing whether transplanting stool from a healthy donor into a patient's gut can help control a severe and often deadly complication called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It is for patients who have had a stem cell transplant and developed steroid-resistant gut …

This study is observing the use of a new prehospital treatment package for trauma patients with life-threatening bleeding. The package includes three medications (fibrinogen, plasma, and tranexamic acid) given by helicopter and ground emergency teams to help control bleeding befo…

This small pilot study is testing whether a portable DNA sequencing device can identify the germs causing a serious eye infection called endophthalmitis. Researchers will compare results from this new device against the standard lab culture method to see if it's faster or more ac…

This study aims to find a better way to check if treatment for wasp sting allergy is working. Currently, the only reliable test involves being stung by a live insect, which is hard to access. Researchers will test if a simple blood test can accurately measure treatment effectiven…

This study aims to understand how a Boswellia serrata supplement might work to reduce pain. Researchers will give the supplement or a placebo to 12 healthy volunteers and then use a capsaicin (hot pepper) patch to create temporary pain and sensitivity on the skin. They will measu…

This study aims to understand how alcohol affects shaking in people with different tremor conditions like essential tremor, dystonia, and Parkinson's disease. Participants will drink either an alcoholic beverage or a non-alcoholic placebo on separate days while researchers measur…

This study aims to learn more about a specific type of high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) that can occur in people with COPD. Researchers will look back at the existing medical records of 1,000 patients who already had a specific heart test. The goal is to …

This study aims to understand how many people develop anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a heart attack. Researchers will follow 100 patients for six months, using questionnaires, blood tests, and heart exams to measure stress levels and mental health. The goa…

This study is exploring whether seeing virtual hand movements in a virtual reality (VR) headset can affect hand tremors. Researchers are recruiting 48 people, including patients with functional tremor, essential tremor, and healthy volunteers, to perform hand tasks in VR. The goa…

This study is creating a national registry to collect detailed health information from 1000 adults in Austria diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a serious heart condition. The goal is to better understand how the disease progresses, identify patterns, and ultimatel…

This study is collecting real-world information about how advanced pancreatic cancer is treated in Austria. It will follow 1,500 adult patients to see which treatments are used, how well they work, and what side effects patients experience. The goal is to gather knowledge from ev…

This study aims to understand how often functional neurological disorders (FND) occur in people who already have movement disorders like Parkinson's or tremor. Researchers will examine 216 patients to identify the frequency and characteristics of these overlapping symptoms. The g…

This study aims to understand if the types of bacteria in a patient's gut influence whether they get diarrhea from certain cancer drugs. Researchers will follow 150 patients starting cancer treatment, collecting stool and blood samples to analyze their gut bacteria and inflammati…

This study aims to create a database and test a screening program to catch early signs of interstitial lung disease (ILD), a type of lung scarring, in people who have other health conditions that put them at risk. Researchers will compare new screening results with past patient d…

This study aims to better understand how gestational diabetes (high blood sugar during pregnancy) affects the health of both mothers and their babies over time. Researchers will follow 400 women diagnosed with this condition, collecting health information and samples during pregn…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive device that shines light on a newborn's head to measure oxygen levels in the brain right after birth. Researchers want to see if this 'pulsatile NIRS' monitor gives doctors better information than current heart rate and oxygen checks, esp…

This study aims to collect detailed health information and blood samples from people with pulmonary hypertension (PH) or at risk for it. By gathering data from about 900 participants over time, researchers hope to better understand how different forms of PH develop and progress. …

This study aims to understand how deeply sedated patients are after heart surgery and whether that affects their recovery. Researchers will monitor brain activity in 50 patients for 48 hours after surgery, but the doctors won't see this data so it doesn't change care. The goal is…
