This study compares remote monitoring using the HeartLogic algorithm against standard in-person checkups for 578 adults with heart failure who have a special defibrillator. The goal is to see if remote alerts can reduce deaths, unplanned hospital stays, and declines in quality of…

This study looks at whether using saliva (spit) samples can accurately diagnose respiratory viruses in children, instead of the standard but painful nasopharyngeal aspirate (a deep nose swab). The trial will involve 502 children under 2 years old with breathing problems. If saliv…

This study aims to see if skipping a routine urine culture before bladder tumor surgery is as safe as doing the test. The main goal is to check if not doing the test leads to more fevers or infections after surgery. About 2600 adults scheduled for bladder tumor surgery will take …

This study tests whether taking short, 15-minute video-guided breaks for yoga or square breathing can lower burnout among emergency department workers like nurses, doctors, and paramedics. About 75 participants will use these breaks at work for 6 months. The goal is to see if the…

This study tests whether adding music therapy to nicotine replacement therapy (like patches or gum) helps healthcare professionals reduce their urge to smoke. About 80 smokers will be split into two groups: one gets standard nicotine therapy, the other gets music therapy too. The…

This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset during a leg artery procedure can lower pain and anxiety. Ninety adults with peripheral artery disease will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or standard care plus VR. The goal is to see if VR can reduce …

This study looks at whether environmental toxins, drugs, and workplace exposures play a role in causing pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Researchers will compare 150 newly diagnosed patients with two types of the disease to identify differences in their …

This study looks at why adults aged 75 and older are admitted to the hospital after visiting the emergency department in France. Researchers will test an existing tool (GAPS) and develop a new one to better predict who needs to stay. The goal is to help doctors make faster, safer…

This study creates a large international registry to collect real-world data on spinal cord stimulation and other neuromodulation therapies for people with neuropathic pain. Researchers will track patient outcomes, device safety, and treatment effectiveness across clinics in mult…

This study looks at how the drug abemaciclib, used with hormone therapy for a certain type of breast cancer, causes severe diarrhea in some patients. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood of 235 women to see if higher levels lead to more side effects. The goal is to c…

This study looks at how brief periods of low oxygen (like those in sleep apnea) change the body's breathing control system. Researchers will measure breathing stability in 40 healthy adults before and after 6 hours in a low-oxygen chamber. The goal is to understand if these oxyge…

This study looks at whether common chemicals called endocrine disruptors (found in plastics and personal care products) are linked to breast cancer. Researchers will measure these chemicals in urine, hair, and breast tissue from 42 women scheduled for breast lesion surgery. The g…
