This study is testing if adding a common food preservative (sodium benzoate) to a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) can help people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. It involves 140 participants with mild memory problems who will receive brain stimulation …

This study is testing a special exercise and breathing program for people who are having part of their lung removed. The goal is to see if starting this program before surgery and continuing it after helps patients recover faster, walk farther, and have fewer complications. Resea…

This study aims to improve outcomes for patients undergoing complex pelvic cancer surgery by creating standardized procedures and better teamwork among specialists. It focuses on patients with advanced or returning rectal cancer that has spread to nearby organs, requiring major s…

This study aims to find out which of two CT scan techniques is better at detecting cancers in the urinary tract, like bladder cancer. It will enroll 352 adults over 40 who have symptoms like blood in their urine or a past history of this cancer. Participants will be randomly assi…

This study is testing a new screening tool that uses an AI-powered robot to check if young children are developing normally. The robot, named Kebbi Air S, plays interactive games with children aged 1-6 to assess their motor skills, thinking, language, and social skills. Researche…

This study aims to improve how doctors predict the aggressiveness of prostate cancer and the risk of it returning after surgery. Researchers will analyze detailed MRI scans from 125 patients to find patterns that help distinguish between slow-growing and fast-growing cancers. The…

This study is testing a new computer system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assess children's movement skills. It aims to help doctors and schools identify kids who might have developmental coordination disorder (DCD) earlier and more accurately. The research involves 2…

This study tested whether teaching better oral hygiene to people who use a non-invasive breathing machine at home could improve their health and daily life. Researchers gave one group of patients specific instructions on oral care over three months, while another group received t…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta-burst stimulation (TBS) can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Researchers will give 80 participants two weeks of daily TBS sessions and measure changes …

This study aims to understand if there's a connection between children's physical fitness and flat feet. Researchers will measure 600 children's strength, endurance, flexibility, and foot structure to see if fitness levels relate to flatfoot development. The study also looks at o…

This study aims to understand why lung cancers with specific genetic changes eventually stop responding to targeted drug treatments. Researchers will analyze tumor and blood samples from 40 patients whose cancer progressed while on these drugs. They will use advanced genetic test…

This study is testing whether a special type of MRI scan can accurately identify what kind of tumor is growing in a patient's kidney. Researchers will scan patients whose standard CT scans did not show fat in their kidney mass, which makes the diagnosis unclear. The goal is to se…

This study is creating a detailed database to track how premature birth affects babies' development over time. Researchers are following 6,000 preterm and full-term infants in Taiwan for three years, collecting information about their growth, cognitive skills, and medical complic…

This study aims to understand how combining mirror therapy, electrical stimulation, and mental imagery affects brain activity in people with hand nerve injuries. Researchers will measure brain wave patterns in 32 participants (both patients and healthy adults) while they perform …
