This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for deep gum disease bone defects: a non-surgical approach (MINST) and a surgical one (MIST). Researchers want to see if the non-surgical method can achieve similar bone and gum attachment improvements as surgery, but with les…

This study tested whether adding extra nutrient-rich foods to infants' diets can help them get enough energy and nutrients to prevent stunting. 192 infants in rural Zimbabwe received either standard fortified supplements or an enhanced mix including orange maize, beans, moringa, …

This pilot study tested a device that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve in the ear, aiming to lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is not controlled by medication. 63 adults took part, and the device was compared to a sham (fake) version. The goal was to see if…

This study tested whether a bacterial lysate (Broncho Vaxom) can prevent wheezing in infants who were hospitalized for severe bronchiolitis. 173 infants received either the lysate or a placebo for up to 24 months. The goal was to see if the treatment reduces the number of wheeze …

This study tested whether special food supplement capsules that release nutrients in the lower gut can increase appetite-regulating hormones and reduce food intake. Twenty adults with obesity took either the active supplement or a placebo on two separate days. The supplement incr…

This completed study investigated why low-dose aspirin helps prevent preeclampsia in some high-risk pregnant women but not others. Researchers took blood samples from 35 women at four points during pregnancy to study their immune cells, particularly neutrophils. The goal was to i…

This study looked at whether London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) — which charges polluting vehicles — improves children's lung health. Researchers tracked lung function in over 3,300 children from schools inside and outside the zone over 4 years. They also measured air pollut…

This study looked at whether two different doses of dietary supplements (DIM and Perilla oil) delivered to the lower gut can reduce appetite and food intake in adults with obesity. Sixteen participants fasted, took capsules, and had blood tests and hunger ratings over 8 hours. Th…

This study aimed to create and test a new questionnaire called CARD-SARC that measures how cardiac sarcoidosis affects patients' daily lives and well-being. Researchers worked with 130 adults diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis at two NHS specialist centres. The goal was to develo…

This completed study involved 15 people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who were already taking alemtuzumab. Researchers measured anti-drug antibodies in their blood over 24 months to see if these antibodies affect treatment or cause infusion reactions. The goal was t…

This study looked back at 126 patients who had gum regeneration surgery for severe gum disease. Researchers checked dental records and did a follow-up exam to see if the surgery helped close deep gum pockets and improve gum health. The goal was to understand how well these proced…

This study looked at whether levels of a common virus called Torque teno virus (TTV) can help doctors monitor how well a kidney transplant patient's immune system is suppressed. The goal is to find a simple blood test that could predict rejection or infection. Researchers followe…

This study tested whether special cameras (2D and 3D) can measure swelling and temperature changes after gum surgery. 60 adults with gum disease had routine surgery, and the cameras tracked healing patterns. The goal was to see if this non-invasive method could help doctors monit…

This study looked at how the oral medication cladribine changes different types of immune cells in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Ten participants provided blood and spinal fluid samples over 96 weeks to track changes in B cells, T cells, and other imm…

This study checked if two wrist-worn cuffless blood pressure devices (Aktiia and Healthstats BPro Evo) give readings that match the standard arm-cuff monitor worn for 24 hours. 48 adults wore each device alongside the standard monitor. The goal is to see if these wearable devices…

This study tested a patient engagement tool (PET) designed to encourage COVID-19 and flu vaccination among underserved populations in East London, including minority ethnic groups, migrants, and low-income individuals. Over 5,900 adults from six GP practices were randomly assigne…
