This study tests whether combining a Bluetooth blood pressure monitor with regular support from a community health worker can help Black women control high blood pressure after pregnancy. About 404 women will be randomly assigned to either this extra support or standard care. The…

This study will test whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can safely guide insulin therapy in cancer and transplant patients who are not in the ICU but need IV insulin due to steroids and nutrition. About 80 participants will be randomly assigned to CGM-guided care or stand…

This study tests whether using a blood test (MRD) after two cycles of chemoimmunotherapy can guide the use of low-dose radiation in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Patients with detectable cancer DNA in their blood may receive targeted radiation to remaining spots on…

This early study tests whether adding the steroid dexamethasone to standard hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps prevent long-term brain problems after carbon monoxide poisoning. Twenty adults who receive hyperbaric oxygen will be randomly given either dexamethasone or a placebo. Rese…

This study tests whether a butyric acid supplement, taken daily for three weeks before heart surgery, can safely improve gut health and reduce inflammation in infants and young children (ages 1 month to 3 years) with congenital heart disease. Researchers will monitor side effects…

This study tests whether starting tube feeding right after a stem cell transplant can reduce severe gut graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people with blood cancers or disorders. About 112 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard care or early tube feeding. The …

This study will check if a simple finger stick blood sample gives the same pregnancy hormone (beta-hCG) levels as a standard blood draw from a vein. About 40 pregnant women will provide both types of blood samples. If the finger stick method is accurate, it could offer a less pai…

This study compares two types of radiation therapy for prostate cancer: one that boosts the whole prostate gland and one that boosts only the main tumor. About 186 men will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal is to see which approach causes fewer urinary a…

This study tests whether taking high doses of vitamin E and CoQ10 daily for 90 days can reduce chronic side effects from pelvic radiation in people treated for prostate, uterine, cervical, or anal cancer. Researchers will monitor safety, side effects, and quality of life in 200 a…

This study tests if gentle electrical stimulation to leg muscles can help children with cerebral palsy walk more easily. About 65 children (ages 7-18) will walk on a treadmill while different stimulation settings are compared. The goal is to find which method works best to improv…

This study tests a new smart controller for a robotic ankle exoskeleton that automatically adjusts support while you walk. Six healthy young adults will walk on a treadmill wearing the device, which learns their movement and changes assistance to make walking feel easier. The goa…

This study compares what happens when surgeons place a small drain in the neck after ACDF surgery versus not using one. The drain is meant to remove fluid and lower the risk of complications like bleeding or infection. About 360 adults having elective ACDF will be randomly assign…

This early study tests a new shoe insert called Flash-Sole that uses soft materials and electrical signals to gently assist ankle movement during walking. Up to 15 healthy adults aged 19 to 45 will walk on a treadmill with the device turned on and off to see if it is safe, comfor…
