This study compared two types of weight-loss surgery for people with severe obesity and acid reflux. One group had standard sleeve gastrectomy, and the other had a modified version with an added anti-reflux wrap. The study was stopped early and only enrolled 2 people, so no relia…

This study tested a treatment for liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) in people with mild-to-moderate cirrhosis. The treatment involved injecting a chemotherapy drug (idarubicin) mixed with a fatty substance (lipiodol) directly into the liver artery. The main goal was to see …

This study looked at whether the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine could prevent nerve damage in the heart after a heart attack. Fifty-four adults who had a first heart attack and received emergency artery-opening treatment took colchicine or a placebo for one month. The trial wa…

This study looked at whether a procedure to mechanically remove a large blood clot from the brain could help people who had a severe stroke. It included 335 adults with a large stroke who could be treated within 7 hours of symptoms starting. The trial was stopped early, and the r…

This study looked at people who regained weight after gastric bypass surgery. It compared a procedure that uses a special stitch to narrow the stomach opening (OverStitch) with standard non-surgical care. The goal was to see which approach is more effective and cost-efficient. Th…

This study looked at whether using a smartphone app and a hand-strength device could help people with rheumatoid arthritis manage their condition with fewer in-person doctor visits. The goal was to see if remote monitoring could reduce the number of consultations needed over six …

This study looked at whether a third-trimester ultrasound can find signs of a serious gut condition called malrotation, which can lead to a life-threatening twist (volvulus) in unborn babies. Researchers compared ultrasound results to fetal MRI, the current gold standard, in 77 p…

This study tested a special helmet and abdominal panel that shines near-infrared light and uses a magnetic field on people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. The goal was to see if it could safely improve memory and thinking. The trial planned to enroll 60 participants, b…

This study tested a sensory rehabilitation program for adults with blood cancers (like lymphoma or multiple myeloma) who had smell and taste problems after finishing chemotherapy. The program used special sprays and exercises to retrain the senses. Only 5 people enrolled before t…

This study looked at whether a mobile phone program could help people with obesity lose body fat. The program provided remote rehabilitation and support to encourage healthier habits. The study was stopped early, so results are limited, but the idea was to see if technology can m…

This study looked at whether a brain wave test called mismatch negativity (MMN) can measure how well adults with cochlear implants can tell apart small speech sounds. The goal was to find an objective way to check hearing, especially for people who cannot easily take standard hea…

This study followed 190 young women to learn how HPV genital infections naturally develop and clear over time. Researchers measured virus levels, immune cells, and other factors like vaginal bacteria and daily habits. The goal was to better understand these common infections, not…

This study looked at special immune cells called regulatory T cells in the joint fluid of 19 people with rheumatoid arthritis during a flare-up. The goal was to understand how these cells behave in the inflamed joint compared to the blood. No treatment was given; the study was st…

This study looked at how exercise training impacts blood vessel function in people with COPD compared to healthy individuals. Researchers measured changes in blood vessel dilation and checked for biological markers related to inflammation and cell health. The goal was to understa…

This study tested whether a new low-dose X-ray system (EOSedge) takes pictures good enough for planning hip replacement or revision surgery, compared to standard X-rays. Researchers enrolled 97 adults needing hip surgery imaging. The goal was to see if EOSedge could replace the n…

This study aimed to see if a special molecule called an oligonucleotide blocker could repair the genetic instructions in cells from people with cystic fibrosis. Researchers collected cells from 16 patients and tested the molecule in the lab. The study was stopped early, so we don…

This study looked at whether JAK inhibitors, a type of drug for rheumatoid arthritis, can boost the anti-inflammatory activity of certain immune cells called B cells. Researchers tested this in lab experiments using blood samples from 27 adults with rheumatoid arthritis. The goal…

This study aimed to test a device called Cervistab© that measures how well rugby players' neck muscles react to sudden impacts, which could help prevent serious spinal injuries. It included 117 healthy volunteers and rugby players. The study was terminated early, so results are l…

This study aimed to understand why some people experience an increase in suicidal thoughts shortly after starting or switching antidepressants. Researchers used a smartphone app called DEPASSE to track dark ideas and mood daily for 30 days in 38 adults with major depression. The …

This study looked at whether measuring two proteins in the blood (S100B and copeptin) can help doctors decide if a child with a head injury needs a CT scan. Many CT scans are normal in children, and they expose kids to radiation that may increase cancer risk. The study enrolled 1…

This study looked at shoulder muscle tissue from 7 children with brachial plexus palsy (a birth injury affecting arm nerves). The goal was to understand why some children develop lasting shoulder stiffness even after surgery. Researchers measured fibrosis (scarring) and muscle ce…

This study looked at 12 people who had a severe heart attack and very weak heart function. Doctors wanted to see if an early MRI could predict whose heart would get better on its own. The goal was to help decide who might need a heart defibrillator (ICD) sooner. The study was sto…

This study aimed to find new biological markers (like proteins and immune signals) in blood and joint fluid that can help doctors tell the difference between septic arthritis (caused by infection) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (an inflammatory condition) in children. Research…
