This study tests a wearable sensor that tracks neck muscle activity during swallowing exercises, providing real-time feedback to patients. Researchers want to see if adding this device to standard therapy improves swallowing more than therapy alone. The study includes 120 adults …

This study tests a new noise-reduction feature for hearing aids that uses deep neural networks to help people hear speech better in noisy settings. Fifty adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss will listen to sentences at different noise levels while using three settings: no no…

This study explores whether a single 20-minute session combining mindfulness with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve executive function—skills like focus and flexibility—in children aged 10 to 12. Participants will try four conditions: mindfulness plus HIIT, mind…

This study tests whether combining mindfulness with short bursts of high-intensity exercise (HIIT) can improve executive function—skills like focus, memory, and self-control—in children aged 8 to 12. Over 12 weeks, 352 kids will do brief sessions of mindfulness, HIIT, both, or se…

This study looks at how eating different amounts of cysteine—a protein building block—affects gut bacteria and inflammation in people at higher risk for colon cancer. Researchers will compare Black and White adults aged 45-75 who have had colon polyps. Participants will follow bo…

This study looks at how slowly digestible carbohydrates (a type of starch) affect a hormone called GLP-1, which helps control appetite. Researchers will give healthy adults different amounts of raw corn starch and measure their GLP-1 levels, blood sugar, and feelings of fullness …

This study looks at how a prebiotic fiber from chicory root (inulin) changes gut bacteria in healthy adults aged 18-45. Over 13 weeks, participants take either inulin or a placebo (maltodextrin) and provide stool and blood samples. Researchers track changes in Bifidobacterium and…
