This study tests a new surgical method called RADAR for creating blood vessel connections needed for dialysis in people with kidney failure. The goal is to see if this technique helps the connection work better and last longer than the standard approach. About 200 adults will tak…

This study tests whether a personalized exercise program, along with diet advice, can reduce liver fat in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). About 115 adults with NAFLD will either receive diet advice alone or diet advice plus a tailored exercise plan. The mai…

This study follows 20 adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type II who are already taking SPINRAZA, a drug given via spinal injection. Researchers will measure changes in motor function, like sitting, standing, and arm movement, over 27 months. The goal is to see if the drug…

This study tests a new way to treat hand tremors caused by essential tremor or Parkinson's disease using focused radiation from a linear accelerator, instead of the usual Gamma Knife or brain surgery. The treatment is split into three sessions to protect healthy brain tissue whil…

This study tests whether lung ultrasound (LUS) is as good as or better than chest X-ray for diagnosing pneumonia in emergency room patients. About 47 adults with suspected pneumonia will get both scans, and researchers will compare how often each test correctly identifies the inf…

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with computer-based cognitive training, can reduce apathy in older adults with mild memory or thinking problems. Apathy—a lack of motivation, interest, or initiative—is common in thi…

This study tests whether adding a 1064nm laser to a standard depigmenting cream can improve melasma and reduce its return. Thirty adults with moderate to severe melasma will apply a depigmenting cream to their whole face and receive laser on one side of the face every other week …

This pilot study tests whether robot-assisted prostate removal can be safely performed as outpatient surgery for men with localized prostate cancer. Twenty participants will have the surgery and go home the same day if they meet discharge criteria. The goal is to see if this appr…

This study tests whether injecting Botox into the thumb joint can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with thumb arthritis (rhizarthrosis). About 60 adults with moderate to severe pain who haven't gotten relief from standard painkillers will receive either Botox or a …

This study tests whether cutting the biceps tendon to relieve shoulder pain can be done safely in the doctor's office using a tiny camera, instead of in the operating room. Fourteen adults with shoulder pain from biceps or rotator cuff problems will be treated. The goal is to see…

This study looks at whether using a virtual reality headset can lower pain and anxiety in people having a chest tube placed for fluid or air around the lung. About 38 adults will either get standard care or a personalized VR experience during the procedure. Researchers will measu…

This study tests a two-part plant-based treatment for women who get bladder infections (cystitis) at least 4 times a year. The treatment uses antibacterial essential oils during an infection and herbal remedies to prevent future ones. 15 women will try this approach for 12 months…

This study looks at 100 people with high blood tryptase levels to see if a genetic condition called hereditary hyper-alpha-tryptasemia is the cause. Participants give a blood sample and later learn their results. The goal is to better understand and manage patients with allergic …

This study is testing a new, comfortable headset that reads brain signals to help people with ALS type on a virtual keyboard. The goal is to see if the headset is easy to set up and use in daily life. Five people with ALS will try the device, and researchers will measure setup ti…

This study aims to better understand the immune response in the blood of people with atopic dermatitis (eczema). Researchers will collect blood samples from about 30 adults with moderate to severe eczema and stimulate the blood with immune triggers to measure cytokine levels. The…

This study looks at a common heart drug, verapamil, which is also used to prevent cluster headaches at much higher doses. Researchers want to see how often it causes a mild heart block (a delay in the heart's electrical signals). The goal is to better understand these side effect…

This study asks 500 lead authors from major medical journals about their thoughts and use of artificial intelligence in research. It explores how they use AI tools, what benefits and risks they see, and what rules they think journals should have. The study is a simple online surv…

This study aimed to measure drugs in the hair of newborns whose mothers took certain medications or used cannabis during pregnancy. Hair testing can show drug exposure over months, unlike blood or urine tests. The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no r…

This study looks at whether low levels of a natural substance called pyrophosphate can predict the buildup of calcium in arteries of people with chronic kidney disease. Researchers will measure pyrophosphate in the blood of 242 patients with moderate kidney disease and check for …

This study looks at whether artificial intelligence (AI) can give the same skin disease diagnosis as a dermatologist. Researchers will compare diagnoses made by AI and by skin doctors using photos and information sent by general practitioners through a telemedicine platform. The …

This study aimed to see if a detailed care plan for extremely premature babies (born before 28 weeks or weighing less than 1000 grams) could be successfully used during their critical first hour of life. The goal was to stabilize these fragile newborns faster and reduce complicat…

This study aims to speed up development of new treatments for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) by creating better ways to measure disease progression. Researchers will test two new assessment tools—a functional motor test and a muscle measurement technique—in 100 adu…

This study is for people with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) who use a wheelchair daily or can only walk a few steps. The goal is to test new methods, like muscle strength tests and motor function assessments, to see how well they track the disease over two years. …

This study tracks how long the flu virus stays in the upper airways of hospitalized adults who are taking oseltamivir (Tamiflu). Researchers want to see if antiviral treatment shortens the time patients need to be isolated. The goal is to help hospitals use rooms and resources mo…

This study aims to find blood markers that might show which women are more likely to have repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs). Researchers will measure certain immune system signals in blood samples from healthy women aged 18 to 28 who have had either one or three or more UTIs…
