This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can improve recovery in people who have had a stroke and undergone a clot removal procedure. Sixty participants will receive either real or sham TMS sessions alongside standard care. Researchers will m…

This study compares two anesthetics—desflurane gas and propofol—during coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers want to see if desflurane helps prevent major heart problems like heart attack or heart failure within 30 days after surgery. About 3,560 adults having planned bypas…

This early-phase study tests a new immunotherapy drug (QL1706) combined with short cycles of chemotherapy in 30 people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can eliminate all signs of cancer before surgery. Participants receive either…

This study aims to develop a blood test that detects RNA from tiny particles (exosomes) to predict if prostate cancer has spread to the bones. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 1,000 men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer and compare results with PSMA PET scans. The g…

This study is testing whether taking a delayed PET/CT scan 2-3 hours after injection of a radioactive tracer can better detect aggressive prostate cancer compared to the standard 60-minute scan. Researchers will enroll 1,000 men with suspected prostate cancer who have not yet had…

This study is testing a new blood test that looks for genetic material from tiny particles called exosomes to diagnose aggressive prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this test can accurately identify men who need a biopsy, avoiding unnecessary procedures. Researchers plan to e…

This study compares a special PET scan (68Ga-PSMA) with standard CT scans to see which better detects where kidney cancer has spread in 300 adults with advanced disease. Participants will receive both scans, and doctors will check if the PET scan changes treatment plans. The goal…

This study compares two common anesthetics—propofol and sevoflurane—to see which one causes less confusion (delirium) after surgery in older diabetic patients. Researchers will enroll 450 people aged 60 and older undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to find the best anesth…

This early-stage trial tests whether sodium aescinate, a compound from horse chestnut seeds, can safely reduce pain and disability in adults with chronic low back pain. Forty participants will take either the drug or a placebo twice daily for six weeks. Researchers will measure p…

This study is testing whether a device called TENS, which sends mild electrical pulses through the skin, can safely reduce chronic low back pain. Forty adults with mild pain will use the device for 20-30 minutes, five times a week for four weeks. Researchers will track pain level…

This study tests whether giving a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can reduce the chance of developing atrial fibrillation, a common irregular heartbeat after surgery. About 60 adults having CABG will be randomly assigned to rece…
