This early-stage trial tests whether transplanting lab-grown dopamine cells into the brain is safe for people with Parkinson's disease. Eight participants with moderate Parkinson's will receive a single dose of these stem cells. The study focuses on safety and looks for early sig…

This study compares two types of hip replacement cups to see if they provide similar stability and fixation to the bone. About 87 adults aged 40-75 who need a hip replacement will receive one of the two implants. The goal is to ensure the new cup design works as well as the curre…

This study tests a special camera that uses light and sound to create 3D pictures of skin tumors. The goal is to see if this method can accurately show where the tumor starts and ends, both on the surface and deep under the skin. About 200 people with suspected skin cancer will h…

This study tests a low-cost, portable ultrasound device (POCUS) combined with artificial intelligence to detect breast cancer in women with suspicious symptoms. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as standard imaging, especially in places where expensive equipment i…

This study looks at whether giving a nerve block before hip or knee replacement surgery can better control pain, reduce the need for opioids, and help patients get moving sooner. About 400 adults with osteoarthritis are taking part. The goal is to find a safer and more effective …

This study aimed to test whether acupuncture could help reduce crying in babies with infant colic. It planned to enroll 128 healthy infants aged 2-9 weeks who cried at least 3 hours a day. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are a…

This study compares two special diets—low FODMAP and a starch- and sugar-reduced diet (SSRD)—to see which one works better at reducing IBS symptoms like belly pain, bloating, and irregular bowel habits. About 200 adults with IBS will follow one of the diets and report their sympt…

This study aims to find out how many people over 75 who visit the emergency department have unmet palliative care needs, and whether those needs are recorded in their medical files. Researchers will assess patients using a special guide and compare it to what is documented. The g…

This study follows 1600 people with small kidney stones (4 mm or less) to see how often they pass naturally within 4 to 8 weeks. Researchers will track pain, blood tests, stone size, and location to find clues that predict passage. Participants fill out symptom surveys and get a …

This study looks at two different knee replacement parts to see how much they move after surgery. Researchers will track 60 people with osteoarthritis over two years using special X-rays. The goal is to find out which type stays more stable in the bone.

This study looks at blood samples from 682 adults who survived a cardiac arrest. Researchers are analyzing proteins to find new markers that could help predict recovery and understand the body's response after the heart stops. No new treatments are tested—this is a fact-finding m…

This study looks at how diet affects inflammation in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis (IBD). About 140 participants will either follow a Nordic-based test diet for six weeks or use a digital information tool. Researchers want to see if these approaches can reduce…
