This study looks at whether adding a special balloon-based internal radiation treatment after standard chemoradiation can lower the chance of the tumor coming back in people with esophageal cancer who choose not to have surgery. About 18 adults aged 20-85 with stage I-III esophag…

This study compares two CT scan methods (single-bolus vs. split-bolus) to see which one better detects urinary tract cancers. About 352 adults aged 40 and older who have blood in their urine or a history of urinary cancer will be randomly assigned to one of the two scan types. Th…

This study aims to create a screening tool called CADAS that uses a robot and AI to check motor, thinking, language, and social-emotional skills in children aged 1 to 6. About 180 children will play games with the robot and with human testers to see if the robot's assessments are…

This study tests an AI system that watches how children aged 6 to 12 move, to find those at risk for developmental coordination disorder (DCD). About 250 children, some with DCD and some without, will take part. The goal is to see if AI can make motor skill checks faster and more…

This study looks at whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta-burst stimulation (TBS) can help improve cognitive function in people diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's disease (before age 65). Researchers will enroll 70 participants aged 50-75 with mild t…

This study tests a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program (CPRP) for people who have had lung surgery. The program includes aerobic, resistance, and breathing exercises tailored to those with limited exercise ability. Researchers will measure improvements in walking dista…

This study is testing whether adding sodium benzoate (a common food preservative) to a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve memory and daily function in people with early-stage Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment. About 140 participants will receive two…

This study looks at whether teaching people how to care for their mouth and teeth can improve oral health, sleep, and overall quality of life for those using a non-invasive breathing machine at home. About 30 adults will be split into two groups: one gets special oral care educat…

This study follows 6,000 preterm and full-term infants in Taiwan from birth to age 3. Researchers track growth, thinking, language, and movement skills to see how birth weight, gestational age, and early health issues affect development. The goal is to build a Taiwan-specific dat…

This study looks at whether children's physical fitness is connected to flatfoot. Researchers will measure fitness, foot shape, and lifestyle habits in 600 children aged 1 to 18. The goal is to better understand factors like exercise, weight, and genetics that may affect flatfoot…

This study looks at ways to improve the surgical process and recovery for people with advanced or recurrent rectal cancer that has spread to nearby organs. Researchers will standardize the steps the surgical team follows and track patient outcomes, including quality of life after…

This study looks at how combining mirror therapy with electrical stimulation changes brain activity in people with recent forearm nerve injuries and in healthy adults. Researchers want to understand if this combination can help the brain adapt better after injury. The study invol…

This study looks at kidney tumors that have no visible fat on CT scans, making them hard to diagnose without a biopsy. Researchers will use special MRI techniques to see if they can tell different tumor types apart and link them to specific markers. The goal is to improve diagnos…

This study looks at how a type of brain stimulation called theta-burst stimulation (TBS) affects thinking skills in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Researchers will use brain scans and memory tests to see if they can predict who will benefit most. The goal is to bett…

This study looks at why certain lung cancers stop responding to targeted therapy (tyrosine kinase inhibitors). Researchers will analyze tumor tissue from 40 patients to find hidden genetic changes that cause drug resistance. The goal is to uncover new ways to treat these resistan…

This study looks at whether detailed analysis of MRI scans (called radiomics) can help doctors better predict how aggressive a prostate cancer is and whether it will come back soon after surgery. Researchers will study 125 patients who have prostate MRI before surgery. The goal i…
