This study tests whether a newer type of dialysis filter (medium cut-off membrane) can reduce inflammation and improve heart function better than the standard filter in people with end-stage kidney disease. Thirty adults on maintenance hemodialysis will use each filter for three …

This trial tests whether adding pelvic floor muscle training to standard scoliosis-specific exercises can better reduce spine curvature in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants aged 10-18 with mild to moderate curves will be randomly assigned to either exercises alo…

This study tests whether adding cognitive training to balance and gait exercises helps people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance, walking, and thinking. Fourteen participants will undergo 12 sessions of combined training. The goal is to see if this approach eases move…

Researchers test whether sharing a positive birth experience and listening to guided imagery can reduce fear of childbirth and increase confidence in first-time mothers. Sixty-two pregnant women at 26 to 28 weeks join the study. Half receive an online session with a positive birt…

This study tests three techniques—stretching, myofascial release, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM)—to see which works best for quickly improving flexibility in people with tight hamstrings. About 36 adults aged 18-30 with hamstring tightness will participa…

This study looks at how different types of dialysis affect heart health, bone metabolism, inflammation, and quality of life in people with end-stage kidney disease. Researchers will compare patients on hemodialysis, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, and automated periton…

Falls are a leading cause of injury in older adults. This study examines whether taking many medications, the side effects those medications have on memory and balance, and age-related muscle loss are linked to fall risk. Researchers will enroll adults aged 65 and older who visit…

This study tests whether low-intensity aerobic exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) is safe and effective for people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). BFR uses a cuff to partially block blood flow, which may help build muscle with less strain. Thirty participants will t…
