This study tests whether a drug that boosts NMDA receptors can help people with early signs of schizophrenia. About 48 participants with prodromal symptoms will take the drug for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if it reduces symptom severity and delays progression.

This study tests whether a daily 15 mL drink called JUICE HA® can improve muscle mass, strength, and quality of life in people aged 65 and older with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a placebo f…

This study tests a stem cell treatment for people with autoimmune diseases (like lupus or scleroderma) that cause lung scarring and breathing problems. Sixteen adults will receive infusions of donor fat-derived stem cells to see if it is safe and can improve lung function. The go…

This study tests a treatment called boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for people with aggressive brain tumors (grade 3 or 4). It uses a special boron compound that collects in tumor cells, then a low-dose neutron beam activates it to destroy those cells while sparing healthy t…

This study tests whether adding an anti-inflammatory drug to an NMDA-enhancing agent can improve thinking and memory in people with ultra-resistant schizophrenia. About 80 adults who have not responded well to clozapine will receive the combination or a placebo. The goal is to se…

This study looks at whether teaching children with ADHD to eat fewer ultra-processed foods can improve their thinking and attention. About 154 kids aged 10-15 will take a weekly online nutrition class for 12 weeks. Researchers will then test their cognitive function to see if the…

This study tests whether combining blood flow restriction with a specific abdominal exercise can better activate core muscles in people with non-specific low back pain. Thirty-six adults with poor posture will be recruited. The approach uses elastic tape, a Swiss ball, and light …

This study tests whether an NMDA-enhancing drug can reduce negative symptoms (like low motivation and social withdrawal) in people with schizophrenia. Researchers want to see if the drug works differently for men and women. About 90 stable participants will take the drug and be m…

This study is testing whether high-dose omega-3 fatty acids can reduce ADHD symptoms like inattention and impulsivity in children and adolescents who are deficient in omega-3. About 100 participants will take omega-3 supplements or a placebo for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if th…

This study tests whether adding a second drug that boosts NMDA receptors to a sigma-1 receptor agonist can better reduce schizophrenia symptoms than the sigma-1 drug alone. About 90 adults with schizophrenia who did not improve on at least two antipsychotics will take the combina…

This study tests two wearable devices in 20 people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers in rural Taiwan. One device tracks sleep and activity, while the other uses light therapy to improve sleep and mood. The goal is to see if these tools are easy to use and can help reduce beha…

This study tests whether transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) applied to specific acupoints can change how the brain processes pain signals. Thirty-five healthy adults will receive TENS on their hands while researchers measure brain activity using EEG. The goal is t…

This study tests whether an AI system that analyzes routine blood test results can help doctors detect iron deficiency more often. About 2,196 adults visiting outpatient clinics will take part, but no extra blood draws or procedures are needed—the AI simply adds a risk alert to t…

This study will follow 7,000 people with obstructive sleep apnea to see how different forms of the condition relate to long-term health. Researchers will use sleep tests, health records, and additional lab work to find patterns. The goal is to better understand sleep apnea and it…

This study is looking for 120 adults with type 2 diabetes to help researchers understand why some people develop high pressure on their feet while walking. High foot pressure can lead to painful ulcers. The goal is to find simple measurements that can predict this risk and create…

This study aims to help older adults in rural Taiwan live healthier lives by using wearable devices and a mobile app to track activity, sleep, and other health measures. Researchers will work with 140 participants to see if this technology can improve health literacy and identify…
