This study tests whether a structured, goal-directed care plan can help people with diabetic kidney disease better manage their kidney and heart health. About 100 adults with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease will either receive this focused care or standard treatment. The goal …

This trial will test whether using smaller breaths (350ml) during CPR helps more people survive cardiac arrest compared to standard larger breaths (600ml). Paramedics will treat 1656 adults with presumed cardiac arrest. The main goal is to see if the smaller breaths lead to more …

This study tests whether a single infusion of eptinezumab, given within 8 weeks of a mild brain injury, can reduce headache days and prevent short-term post-traumatic headaches from becoming long-term. About 80 adults with migraine-like post-traumatic headaches will receive eithe…

This study tests whether regular blood tests (ctDNA) can find triple-negative breast cancer recurrence earlier than standard follow-up. Thirty patients who had surgery for stage II or III TNBC will be randomly assigned to either standard care or standard care plus ctDNA testing e…

This study tests whether adding a very low dose (15 mg) of the blood thinner edoxaban to standard aspirin or clopidogrel can prevent repeat strokes in people aged 75 and older who have already had an ischemic stroke. About 1,200 participants will be randomly assigned to receive e…

This pilot study will test whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can improve working memory in 30 adults with mild cognitive impairment or traumatic brain injury. Participants will receive low-level electrica…

This small pilot study tests whether adding virtual reality (VR) to standard ketamine infusions can better ease symptoms of treatment-resistant depression. All 31 participants will receive ketamine, and half will also wear a VR headset during treatment. The main goal is to see if…

This study tests whether adding a ketogenic (low-carb) diet to a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called iTBS helps people with treatment-resistant depression feel better. Sixty adults will follow either a keto diet or a standard healthy diet for three weeks, then receive…

This study looks at how different positions and positioning devices affect pressure on areas like the heels, tailbone, elbows, and back of the head in burn patients. Researchers will use a special pressure-sensing mat to find which setups create the least pressure. The goal is to…

This study looks at whether reading a short educational flyer helps women learn more about stress urinary incontinence (SUI). About 90 adult women visiting a urogynecology clinic will fill out a quiz before and after reading the pamphlet. The goal is to see if the pamphlet improv…

This phase 2 trial is testing four different doses of enzalutamide (40, 80, 120, and 160 mg) in men aged 75 and older with advanced prostate cancer. The goal is to see how drug levels in the blood differ between older and younger patients, and to find the safest and most effectiv…

This study compares virtual reality (VR) simulation to traditional mannequin-based training for teaching medical students how to perform electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). 78 medical students with no prior ECT training will be randomly assigned to practice with either a VR simulato…

This study compares two ways of using ultrasound to measure the inferior vena cava, a major vein that shows how much fluid is in the body. The standard method uses a view below the breastbone, but this can be hard in patients who are obese or have surgical bandages. The alternati…

This study tests a new peer support program for adults recovering from serious injuries like car crashes, burns, or amputations. The program pairs survivors with trained peers who have been through similar experiences, offering support from hospital to home. The goal is to see if…
