This study tests whether efavirenz, a drug used for HIV, can help people with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) live longer. CJD is a rare, rapidly fatal brain disorder. The trial will enroll 246 adults and randomly assign them to receive either efavirenz or a placebo. The main goa…

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that uses weak electrical fields to stimulate the brain can safely lower blood pressure in people with mild essential hypertension. Sixty adults aged 30-65 who are not on blood pressure medication will receive either real or sham sti…

This pilot study will test if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference stimulation can safely and effectively regulate blood pressure. Researchers will enroll 25 adults with either mild untreated high blood pressure or hard-to-treat high blood press…

This study tests a mobile app that gives personalized health tips to people who recently had a stroke. The goal is to see if using the app helps lower the chance of having another stroke within a year. About 5,000 adults aged 40-80 who had an ischemic stroke will participate.

This study tests a smartphone app that gives personalized early warnings and health advice to people who have had a stroke. The goal is to see if using the app can lower the risk of having another stroke within a year. About 5,000 adults aged 40 to 80 with a recent acute ischemic…

This study tests whether adding the drug sivelestat sodium to standard clot-removal treatment helps people recover better after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the brain. The drug aims to reduce brain inflammation and damage after blood flow is restored. About 868 adults a…

This study tests a new, non-drug treatment for high blood pressure called high-intensity transcranial alternating current stimulation (Hi-tACS). It uses gentle electrical currents on the scalp to stimulate the brain. The trial will include 50 adults with primary hypertension to s…

This study will test a new intelligent diagnostic system for orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up). The system continuously monitors blood pressure, brain blood flow, and heart signals to classify the condition more precisely. Researchers plan…

This study will check if an artificial intelligence (AI) system can accurately score stroke severity as well as a trained doctor. About 297 adults with a recent stroke will have their speech and facial movements recorded. The AI will analyze these recordings to produce a G-FAST s…

This study will test a new radioactive tracer called FBFP in 30 stroke patients and 20 healthy volunteers. The tracer is used with a PET/MR scanner to take detailed pictures of the brain. The goal is to see if FBFP can help doctors diagnose and understand stroke better. Participa…

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding a traditional Chinese herbal formula (Hua Yu Wan Capsule) to standard treatment can prevent painful leg pain at rest or foot ulcers in people with diabetes and early-to-moderate leg artery disease. About 300 adults aged 18–70 will be random…

This study tests whether a mobile app that sends personalized temperature health risk warnings and stroke prevention tips can reduce the chance of another stroke in people who recently had one. Over 10,000 participants will use the app and be followed for one year. The goal is to…

This study tests whether a 6-week exercise program, added to usual pain medication, can reduce disability and pain in adults aged 60 and older with chronic low-back pain and signs of back muscle degeneration. About 314 participants will be randomly assigned to either the exercise…

This study tests whether taking a daily hot bath (40-42°C for 20 minutes) at home can reduce epileptic seizures in children with CDKL5 deficiency disorder. The trial will include 34 children aged 6 months to 14 years whose seizures are not controlled by medication. Researchers wi…

This study tests a nasal device (iNAP) that uses gentle suction to keep the airway open during sleep. It includes 65 adults aged 50-75 with mild cognitive impairment and moderate-to-severe sleep apnea. Half will use the device nightly for 24 weeks, while the other half receive sl…

This study looks at the best time to give a new pain drug called Anrikefon to adults having gallbladder surgery. About 274 people will either get the drug before anesthesia or right after the gallbladder is removed. The goal is to see which timing reduces pain better and helps pa…

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tACS in 160 people with mild Alzheimer's or early memory problems. Participants will receive either real or fake (sham) stimulation over several sessions. Researchers will measure changes in memory, thinking, and …

This early-stage study will test if shining near-infrared light on the head can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will check if the light therapy is safe and if it improves memory and thinking. The study plans to include 40 adults aged 50 to 90 wi…

This study checks if an artificial intelligence (AI) system can accurately score how well stroke patients recover, compared to the usual manual scoring by trained doctors. About 490 stroke patients will have their recovery assessed by both the AI and human experts. The goal is to…

This study aims to find out how reliable the DiaMem memory test is when taken multiple times. Researchers will have 30 adults aged 60 or older take memory tests once a day for 6 days. The goal is to see if scores stay consistent, which would help doctors better assess memory prob…

This study looks at how stimulating a specific brain region (the piriform cortex) affects seizure-related brain activity in 10 people with drug-resistant epilepsy. Participants already have electrodes implanted for epilepsy monitoring. The goal is to map which brain networks resp…
