This study tests whether adding a small gum graft to standard deep cleaning helps control peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. Thirty non-smoking adults with thin gum tissue will be split into two groups: one gets the graft, the other gets standard care only. Re…

This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program can improve oxygen use, balance, and physical activity in people who have had lung cancer surgery. Forty adults aged 18-80 who are in remission will do breathing training with a device for 4 weeks, then add functional …

This study tests whether a program called Task-Oriented Circuit Training (TOCT) can help stroke survivors improve movement and dexterity in their affected arm and hand. TOCT involves 15 different exercise stations that focus on practical tasks. The trial will compare TOCT to stan…

This study tests a new early intervention program called SAFE for high-risk infants (3-12 months old) who may have developmental delays. The program focuses on activities to improve arm, hand, and fine motor skills through play and daily routines. Researchers will compare SAFE to…

This study tests whether adding nerve gliding exercises to standard physical therapy helps people with long-term ulnar-sided (pinky side) wrist pain. About 34 adults with pain lasting at least 3 months will be split into two groups: one gets standard care (education, massage, ice…

This study tests whether adding visual biofeedback to standard swallowing exercises and electrical stimulation helps stroke patients with swallowing problems. 34 adults who had a stroke in the last 6 months will be randomly assigned to either the biofeedback group or a convention…

This study looks at whether the speed of a manual therapy called the Graston Technique affects muscle tightness, pain, and oxygen levels in people with bruxism (teeth grinding or jaw clenching). Researchers will compare two speeds (60 vs. 120 beats per minute) on the upper back m…

This study compares people who have had a mitral valve procedure for mitral stenosis with healthy volunteers. Researchers will measure exercise capacity, muscle oxygen levels, and artery stiffness to understand long-term effects. The goal is to gather knowledge that may improve f…

This study watches 400 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are getting one of two standard treatments: chemotherapy with pembrolizumab or chemotherapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab. The goal is to see which approach helps people live longer and feel better. No new…

This study looks at whether a person's expectations before starting physical therapy can predict how much they will benefit from it. Researchers will track 84 adults over 50 with knee osteoarthritis as they go through 15 sessions of standard physical therapy. The goal is to see i…

This study looks at whether tightness in a small chest muscle (pectoralis minor) is linked to rotator cuff tears in the shoulder. Researchers will compare 45 people with tears to 45 people without, matching them by age, sex, and activity level. The goal is to help doctors better …

This study looks at how people with coronary artery disease (CAD) respond to arm versus leg exercise. Researchers will measure blood vessel stiffness, muscle oxygen levels, and energy use during both types of exercise. The goal is to better understand exercise limitations in CAD …

This study checks if a 6-minute stepper test is a reliable way to measure exercise ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Researchers will compare it to standard tests like the 6-minute walk test and a treadmill test. The goal is to find a simple, low-cost tool t…

This study looks at how the constant vibration from tattoo machines may damage nerves in the hands of tattoo artists. Researchers will test touch, strength, and sensation in 20 tattoo artists and compare them to 20 people who don't use vibrating tools. The goal is to understand i…
