This study compares the standard antifungal drug itraconazole alone versus itraconazole combined with isotretinoin (an acne medication) in adults with tinea corporis or cruris (ringworm of the body or groin). The goal is to see if the combination shortens treatment time and impro…

This Phase 2 trial tests a new gel (AP4500) containing the antifungal drug terbinafine for mild to moderate toenail fungus. About 200 adults will apply the gel once or twice daily for 48 weeks. Researchers will compare it to a placebo and an existing treatment (Jublia) to see if …

This study tests whether narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) light therapy can help people with ringworm infections that don't get better with standard antifungal drugs. The trial will enroll 36 adults who have had at least two relapses in the past six months. Half will receive UV…

This trial tests whether a magnesium-based supplement taken before bed can improve sleep quality and speed up recovery after intense exercise. Healthy, recreationally active adults aged 18-40 will take the supplement or a placebo for two weeks each, then complete a leg exercise p…

This study tested whether taking a cistanche supplement for 8 weeks, along with a supervised training program, improves anaerobic exercise performance and recovery in young men. 56 men aged 18-25, either elite or amateur athletes, were randomly assigned to receive cistanche extra…

This study looks at adults with ringworm infections that resist standard antifungal treatment. Researchers will scrape the edge of the skin lesions and examine the samples under a microscope and in the lab to identify the fungus and test which antifungals might work. The goal is …

This observational study aims to map the immune and molecular profiles of people with inflammatory skin conditions, including genetic forms like epidermolysis bullosa. By comparing these profiles to those of healthy individuals, researchers hope to identify unique signatures that…

This study compares two types of hamstring training—eccentric exercises like the Romanian deadlift and Nordic hamstring exercise versus sprint-specific drills—in healthy collegiate athletes. Over 10 weeks, researchers measure changes in muscle size, strength, power, and sprint pe…

This study looks at how muscle tiredness changes the way female volleyball players move their legs when landing on one foot. Researchers will use smartphone videos to measure hip, knee, and ankle motion in 35 athletes. The goal is to understand injury risks better, not to test a …
