This study is testing a precise, high-dose radiation treatment called SBRT as an alternative to surgery for breast cancer in elderly patients (over 70) or those with other health issues. The goal is to find the safest highest dose that can destroy the tumor without major side eff…

This study compares two ways to treat long or widespread blockages in heart arteries. One method uses a temporary magnesium scaffold plus drug-coated balloons, while the other uses standard permanent metal stents. The goal is to see if the newer approach works as well and leaves …

This study tests a procedure called middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization for people with chronic subdural hematomas—a type of brain bleed that can cause confusion and weakness. The goal is to see if this procedure can stop the bleed from coming back after surgery, or even t…

This study looks at whether a newer type of brain scan (Tau-PET) helps doctors diagnose Alzheimer's disease more accurately than the standard scan (Amyloid-PET). Researchers will enroll 120 adults aged 50-85 with mild memory problems or early dementia. Participants will receive b…

This study is testing a new way to screen for cervical cancer in Cameroon that can be done in one day. Women will collect their own sample for an HPV test, and if positive, a digital image of the cervix is sent to a specialist for review. The goal is to see if this method is accu…

This study looks at whether eating only during an 8-hour window each day (16-hour fast) can help women going through menopause—either naturally or after breast cancer treatment—lose weight, reduce belly fat, and ease menopause symptoms. 84 women will be randomly assigned to eithe…

This study tests whether a daily 15-minute mindfulness app can lower anxiety and improve quality of life in 150 women undergoing their first IVF treatment. Participants either use the app or receive standard care. The goal is to see if the app helps with stress, depression, and p…

This study tests whether a technique called Imagery Rescripting (turning negative thoughts into positive ones) combined with a scent-based memory booster can help people with insomnia sleep better. 120 adults aged 18-45 with insomnia will be split into four groups to compare thes…

This study looks at whether Ryeqo, a new hormone treatment for uterine fibroids, increases the risk of dangerous blood clots. Researchers will measure blood clotting markers in 30 women before and after 3 months of taking the drug. The goal is to better understand the safety of t…

This study looks at how brain activity changes during motor and mood swings in Parkinson's disease. Researchers will record brain signals from 30 people with Parkinson's who have deep brain stimulation devices. The goal is to find patterns that could lead to smarter, adaptive tre…

This study aims to find specific biological patterns in people who bleed easily for unknown reasons. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 400 participants to understand the different mechanisms causing the bleeding. The goal is to better classify and eventually improve car…

This study aims to understand how chronic breathlessness differs in people with cancer, COPD, or heart failure by using brain scans (fMRI) and virtual reality. Sixteen adults with persistent breathlessness will undergo an fMRI while experiencing virtual reality, and report their …

This study is for adults with severe obesity who are scheduled for gastric bypass surgery. Researchers want to see if a person's muscle mass before surgery can help predict how much weight they lose in the two years after. Participants will have routine measurements like weight, …

This study tests a simple decision aid that helps teens and young adults (ages 12-25) make clearer choices about menstrual management and contraception. The tool provides easy-to-understand information to reduce uncertainty and support shared decision-making with their doctor. Ab…

This study is creating a large database of information from 20,000 people with brain aneurysms. Researchers will collect genetic, lifestyle, and imaging data to find out what makes aneurysms form or rupture. The goal is to improve prediction and treatment decisions, but no new tr…

This study looks at how long people with type 2 diabetes need to stop taking their GLP-1 medication (like semaglutide) before surgery to ensure their stomach is empty. The drug slows stomach emptying, which can raise the risk of food or liquid entering the lungs during anesthesia…
