This study tests whether a light-activated treatment (photodynamic therapy) can better clean infected dental implants compared to standard scraping tools. About 40 adults with peri-implantitis will receive one of the two treatments, and researchers will check gum health and bone …

This study tests a special magnesium-based membrane (NOVAMag SHIELD) used with bone graft material to support immediate dental implants in people with severe bone defects after tooth extraction. About 40 adults with advanced bone loss will receive the treatment and be followed fo…

This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can reduce the urge to use social media in university students who feel addicted. 60 participants will be split into three groups: active stimulation, a fake (sham) stimulation, or no stimulatio…

This study looks at whether a 12-session heart rate variability biofeedback program can help members of the Portuguese National Republican Guard feel less distressed and burned out, and improve their overall well-being. About 50 participants will learn breathing techniques and us…

This study looks at how paying attention in different ways during calf-strength training affects walking in healthy older adults. Researchers will compare two types of external focus with an internal focus to see which leads to smoother, more automatic movement. Participants will…

This study looks at how different types of strength training—using a steady beat, a variable beat, or no beat at all—affect the brain and muscles. Researchers will measure changes in brain signals and muscle strength in 60 healthy adults over 4 weeks. The goal is to see if adding…

This study looks at why some people who have had ACL knee surgery are afraid to move or exercise, even after they've healed. Researchers want to find out if this fear is about movement in general or just specific sports activities. They will measure fear using questionnaires, hea…

This study looks at how a single walking session with different visual cues affects movement and brain signals in 36 athletes who had ACL surgery. One type of cue is steady (isochronous), while the other has natural variations (fractal). The goal is to see if fractal cues can res…
