This study compares two ways of tracking blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes who use insulin after leaving the hospital. One group uses a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that shows real-time levels and trends, while the other group uses traditional fingerstick tests. The …

This study tests whether adding the anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy can help people with advanced bile duct cancer live longer without their disease getting worse. The trial focuses on patients whose tumors have high levels of a marker …

This study is testing whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help older adults with type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin achieve better blood sugar control. Participants will either wear a CGM every two months or use standard finger-stick monitoring for six months. The …

This study tests a new combination of drugs for people with advanced bone or soft tissue sarcomas that have worsened after initial treatment. The combo includes a safer form of paclitaxel, standard chemotherapy, and a targeted therapy chosen based on tumor type. About 46 particip…

This observational study will measure salivary cortisol in 220 healthy adults and people with Cushing's syndrome or adrenal insufficiency. The goal is to establish normal reference ranges and find the best cut-off values for diagnosis. Researchers will compare two lab methods to …

This trial tests whether a WeChat mini program that guides neck rehabilitation exercises can help people recover more comfortably after thyroid surgery. About 200 adults who have had their thyroid removed will either use the app-based program or receive standard care with video i…

This study tests whether a combination of two drugs (fosrolapitant and palonosetron) can prevent nausea and vomiting in people receiving strong chemotherapy for the first time. About 200 adults with solid tumors will be enrolled. The goal is to see if this treatment helps patient…

This study investigates why some people with bilateral vestibular hypofunction—a chronic balance disorder—experience more severe symptoms than others. Researchers will use advanced brain imaging (MRI) and a battery of vestibular function tests in about 80 patients and 40 healthy …

This study will compare pain levels after three different surgical methods for removing lymph nodes in the neck (lateral neck dissection) in people with thyroid cancer. The three methods are robotic surgery, endoscopic surgery, and traditional open surgery. Researchers will measu…

Researchers are developing a simple tool to predict how difficult a laparoscopic appendectomy (keyhole appendix removal) might be. They will study 500 patients and look at factors like age, weight, and inflammation levels. The goal is to help surgeons prepare better and improve p…

This study aims to create a simple tool that helps doctors predict how difficult a specific type of thyroid cancer surgery (called transoral and submental thyroidectomy) will be. Researchers will study 500 patients to find out which factors before surgery make the operation harde…

This study aims to improve a prediction model that helps doctors know how difficult a less invasive thyroid surgery might be. Researchers will observe 300 people with thyroid cancer or benign nodules to see which factors, like age, weight, and tumor size, affect surgery difficult…

This study aims to create and test a scoring system called RTAS to evaluate how well surgeons perform robotic thyroidectomy, a surgery to remove all or part of the thyroid gland. Researchers will observe 200 participants with thyroid cancer or benign nodules who are having this s…

This study looks at whether an imbalance in gut bacteria is linked to stroke risk and recovery in young adults (ages 18-45). Researchers will analyze stool and blood samples from 60 stroke patients to find patterns that could help predict strokes earlier. The goal is to understan…

This study looks at how a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to heart problems like irregular heartbeat or heart failure. Researchers will use MRI scans to see if damage to certain brain areas disrupts the network that controls the heart. By studying 90 people with mild to mod…

This study uses anonymous online questionnaires to find out what the general public and doctors think about robotic surgery, telesurgery, and telemedicine. Researchers want to understand levels of awareness, trust, and concerns, as well as what training doctors feel they need. Th…

This study watches blood sugar levels in 100 women getting fertility treatments like IVF. Participants wear a continuous glucose monitor to track sugar changes. The goal is to see if these changes affect pregnancy results. This is an observation-only study, not a treatment.

This study aims to develop an AI model that estimates a patient's blood volume from ultrasound videos of major blood vessels. Researchers will record ultrasound clips from 800 adults scheduled for surgery and compare them to a reliable blood volume measurement. The goal is to cre…

This study will check how common a condition called hypercortisolism (too much of the stress hormone cortisol) is in people with type 2 diabetes that is hard to control despite standard treatments. Researchers will also see if cortisol levels in saliva are linked to blood sugar c…
