This study looks at whether taking a natural supplement and doing moderate exercise twice a week can improve immune function and reduce stress in people aged 65 and older. Sixty participants will take either the supplement or a placebo for six months while following a supervised …

This study looks at whether a combination of exercise and a nutritional supplement (phenylcapsaicin) can improve body composition, metabolism, and overall health in adults aged 50-65 who are overweight but not obese, yet have early signs of metabolic problems like high blood suga…

This study looks at how scar tissue that forms after lumbar disc replacement surgery affects spine movement. Researchers want to see if repairing the front part of the disc during surgery helps improve results. The study involves 24 adults aged 18 to 50 with chronic low back pain…

This study tests whether a non-surgical gum treatment with a hyaluronic acid gel can help regrow bone lost to severe gum disease. About 60 adults with deep gum pockets will receive one of three treatments: the hyaluronic acid gel, an enamel matrix protein gel, or standard cleanin…

This study aims to see if a quick patient history and physical exam can help doctors identify when low back pain comes from the sacroiliac joint, rather than relying only on X-rays or MRIs. Researchers will enroll 140 adults with chronic low back or buttock pain. The goal is to i…

This study tests whether a virtual assistant (like a smart speaker) can help adults aged 60+ stay on track with a home exercise program. Participants will do 60-minute sessions three times a week for 12 weeks, guided by the virtual assistant. The goal is to see if this technology…

This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair surgery. About 40 adults aged 18–45 who had ACL reconstruction will be assigned to either standard rehab or …

This study looks at how sleep apnea changes pressure in the brain and belly during sleep, which can affect how well a cerebrospinal fluid shunt works. Researchers will measure these pressures in 30 adults with normal-pressure hydrocephalus to help decide whether to drain fluid in…

This study is for 12 adults with severe brain injuries, tumors, or bleeding in the back part of the brain. Doctors will place two small pressure sensors to measure pressure in both the front and back of the brain. The goal is to learn what normal and dangerous pressure levels are…
