This study compares two pneumococcal vaccination strategies in 160 adults with lymphoma who have had chemotherapy. One group gets two vaccines (Prevenar 13 followed by Pneumovax 23), while the other gets a single newer vaccine (Prevenar 20). Researchers will measure immune respon…

This study looks at two ways to help ICU patients who struggle to breathe after their breathing tube is taken out. About 670 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either a non-invasive ventilation mask alternating with high-flow nasal oxygen, or high-flow nasal oxygen alone…

Half of all surgery patients arrive in the recovery room with hypothermia (low body temperature), which raises risks of bleeding, infection, and heart problems. This study tests whether warming patients before, during, and after surgery reduces hypothermia better than warming onl…

This study tests whether a heart procedure called catheter ablation can slow down memory loss in people with mild cognitive impairment who also have a common heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. 120 participants will be randomly assigned to get either the ablation plu…

This study tests whether smartphone usage data can help tell the difference between normal memory complaints, mild cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will collect data from 90 participants' phones over three months. If it works, it could offer a simple, low-c…

This study tests whether a very powerful 7 Tesla MRI can detect tiny brain injuries in people with post-concussion syndrome after a mild head trauma. Researchers will scan 100 patients one week after their injury and compare the results to standard tests. The goal is to see if th…

This study is testing whether artificial intelligence can determine the grade of a brain tumor (glioma) from MRI scans alone, a so-called 'virtual biopsy.' Researchers will compare AI results with traditional tissue biopsies in 500 adults with suspected glioma. If accurate, this …

This study is testing a new way to detect cancer by looking at certain enzymes in the blood. Researchers will collect blood samples from 220 people—120 with breast, lung, or pancreatic cancer and 100 without cancer. They want to see if the enzyme levels are different between the …

This study aims to see if a simple stool test can accurately detect Helicobacter pylori infection in children, avoiding the need for an invasive endoscopy under anesthesia. Researchers will compare the stool test results with standard biopsy results in 188 children aged 16 or you…

This study tests whether taking short, video-guided yoga or square breathing breaks can reduce burnout among emergency department workers. Seventy-five nurses, doctors, and other staff will be able to take these 15-minute breaks as often as they like for 12 months. The main goal …

This study compares two high-tech methods (ultrasound and infrared light) with the standard approach for placing a small tube in a vein (IV) in people whose veins are hard to find or see. About 264 adults getting a CT scan will take part. The goal is to see which method works bes…

This study tests if a high-flow oxygen device can replace the usual oxygen tube placed through the nose during throat and voice box exams. About 610 adults having this procedure will be randomly assigned to either the standard method or the new one. The goal is to see if the new …

This study tests if a less invasive freezing technique (cryoneurotomy) works as well as surgery to reduce foot stiffness in people who had a stroke. About 114 adults with chronic foot spasticity will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal is to see if the fre…

This study is testing a new type of spinal cord stimulation to help people with long-lasting nerve pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. About 17 adults will receive the stimulation and be followed for 6 months. The goal is to see if it safely reduces pain and improves…

This study tests whether a 4-week video education program can reduce urinary incontinence symptoms in women before they start pelvic floor rehabilitation. 144 women will either watch four short videos or receive a paper handout with similar information. Researchers will compare s…

This pilot study tests a manual therapy called Osteo-Fluidic-Sensitive (OFS) for people who get frequent tension-type headaches (2–14 headache days per month). OFS uses gentle hand pressures on specific body areas to rebalance the body, without forceful manipulation. The study co…

This study tests whether adding music therapy to nicotine patches and gum can reduce tobacco cravings in student smokers aged 18-25. 120 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either nicotine replacement alone or nicotine replacement plus a digital music therapy tool. …

This study tests whether adding social well-being workshops to standard obesity care can reduce the negative effects of weight stigma. About 210 adults with obesity will either join these workshops plus exercise classes for 12 months, or receive usual care. Researchers will measu…

This pilot study is testing whether adding music therapy to standard care can reduce irritability and impulsivity in 15 people with early-stage Huntington's disease. Participants will use a digital music therapy tool over 3 months. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug way to mana…

This study looks at people who had a heart attack and also developed a dangerous heart rhythm (ventricular arrhythmia) while still in the hospital. Researchers want to learn more about how these patients are treated and how many die after leaving the hospital. The study does not …

This study looks at 40 adults with psoriasis—some with joint pain (psoriatic arthritis) and some without—to compare immune signals in their blood and skin. Researchers want to understand why some people develop joint problems. Participants give blood and skin samples for lab anal…

This study looks at 50 adults who had a stroke caused by a blocked middle brain artery and were treated with a clot-removal procedure called thrombectomy. Researchers will use special MRI scans to measure brain activity and metabolism in the damaged area. The goal is to find earl…

This study aims to find early brain scan markers that can predict when multiple sclerosis (MS) will get worse. Researchers will use powerful MRI machines to look at brain chemistry and structure in 50 adults with MS. The goal is to identify signs of nerve damage before permanent …

This study looks at 60 multiple myeloma patients who are about to receive CAR-T cell therapy. Researchers will measure a specific immune marker (TCF-1) in the blood before treatment and track how long the modified CAR-T cells last afterward. The goal is to find clues that predict…
