This early-stage trial tests whether exosomes from umbilical cord stem cells are safe and show promise for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. About 33 participants will receive the treatment or a placebo. The study first checks safety, then looks for signs of cogni…

This study tests a phone app that gives early warnings and advice when temperature changes might increase stroke risk. About 5,000 people who recently had a stroke will use the app for one year. The goal is to see if these alerts can lower the chance of having another stroke.

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

This study looks at two treatments for a severe type of stroke where a large clot blocks the main artery at the back of the brain. About 518 adults will be grouped based on whether they received a procedure to remove the clot or standard medication. The goal is to see which appro…

This study tests a special balloon coated with medicine to open narrowed brain arteries in people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke. About 264 adults aged 18-80 with severe blockages (70-99%) will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the balloon keeps arteries open longer and re…

This study tests a new support program for people aged 65 and older who have two or more chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or arthritis. The program includes digital tools, personalized advice, and ongoing management help. Researchers will compare this progra…

This phase 3 trial tests whether the HIV drug efavirenz can help people with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a rare and fatal brain disorder. About 246 adults with early-stage CJD will receive either efavirenz or a placebo to see if the drug extends survival. The study is double…

This study tests whether a specific 24-week dietary program can help overweight or obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) achieve regular menstrual cycles and improve metabolic health. Researchers will compare the special diet to standard care in 160 women aged 18-49. …

This study aims to improve diagnosis of orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up), which affects up to 50% of older adults and people with certain nerve diseases. Researchers will use a new intelligent system that monitors blood pressure, brain bl…

This study tests a new radioactive tracer called FBFP to see how well it can show brain changes in people who have had a stroke. Researchers will compare 30 stroke patients with 20 healthy volunteers using a special PET/MR scanner. The goal is to improve diagnosis and help doctor…

This study checks if an artificial intelligence (AI) system can accurately score stroke severity using the G-FAST method, compared to scores from trained doctors. About 297 adults with confirmed stroke will participate. If successful, the AI could provide a fast, consistent way t…

This study tests whether a device worn in the nose during sleep (iNAP) can improve thinking and memory in 65 adults aged 50-75 who have both mild cognitive impairment and moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea. Participants will either use the iNAP device nightly for 24 weeks…

This study compares two painkillers given through a pump after brain surgery to see which causes less nausea. About 174 adults having surgery in the back of the head will receive either oliceridine or sufentanil. The main goal is to find out which drug leads to fewer episodes of …

This early-stage study will test whether shining near-infrared light on the brain can safely help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. About 40 participants aged 50-90 will receive the light therapy to see if it improves memory and thinking. The goal is to gather ini…

This study tests a gentle, 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, thinki…

This study will test whether a 6-week exercise program, when added to usual care, can reduce disability and pain in adults aged 60 and older with long-term low-back pain. About 314 participants will be randomly assigned to either the exercise group or usual care alone. The resear…

This study checks if an artificial intelligence (AI) system can accurately score how well stroke patients recover, compared to standard manual scoring by trained doctors. About 490 adults with stroke will participate. The goal is to see if the AI can provide a faster, more consis…

This study looks at how reliable a digital memory test called DiaMem is when taken multiple times. About 30 adults aged 60 and older will take memory tests once a day for 6 days. Researchers will compare DiaMem with another test called MemTrax to see how consistent the scores are…

This study looks at whether a new, evidence-based nutrition guide can help healthcare workers in surgical ICUs improve how they feed and care for critically ill patients. About 200 ICU staff from several hospitals in China will use the guide and be checked on their knowledge and …
