This study tests a new, personalized approach to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart rhythm problem. Instead of the standard one-size-fits-all ablation, doctors will use a special mapping system to find and destroy the exact areas causing the irregular heartbeat. The g…

This study looks at people who need a pacemaker after a TAVI procedure (a less invasive way to replace a heart valve). It compares two pacing methods—physiological pacing and standard right ventricular pacing—to see which one helps patients feel better and walk farther after one …

This study tests whether a program of physical exercise, nutritional guidance, and psychological support during chemotherapy can help women with early-stage breast cancer respond better to treatment. About 214 women will be randomly assigned to either the lifestyle program or sta…

This study compares two surgical techniques for creating arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) needed for hemodialysis in people with advanced chronic kidney disease. The traditional end-to-side method is being tested against a newer piggyback technique, which may reduce complications li…

This study compares two types of heart pacing—conduction system pacing and standard biventricular pacing—in 320 adults with heart failure and wide QRS. The goal is to see which method better reduces the risk of death, heart failure hospitalization, or need for a heart transplant …

This study tests if a newer, more natural pacing method can prevent heart damage caused by standard pacemakers. It involves 200 adults who need a pacemaker for a slow heartbeat. Researchers will compare the newer method to the standard one to see which better protects heart funct…

This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with health education and aerobic exercise, can ease the crushing fatigue many people feel after a stroke. Researchers will enroll 54 adults who had a first stroke within the past 45 days and repo…

This study tests whether different types of electrical nerve stimulation can quickly improve leg strength in athletes with patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee). Nineteen athletes will try three stimulation methods in separate sessions. The goal is to see which frequency works be…

This study tests a therapy called m-CIMT for people who recently had a stroke and have arm weakness. The treatment involves restricting the unaffected arm while doing specific exercises with the affected arm to improve its use and function. The study aims to enroll 66 hospitalize…

This study tests whether a treatment called radiofrequency, combined with a special massage, can reduce pain during sex for women who developed this pain after giving birth. About 110 women who are 4 to 9 months postpartum and have new pain during sex will receive either the radi…

This study tests whether a non-drug program combining physical exercise, nutritional advice, and psychological support can reduce fatigue in people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Researchers will enroll 64 adults with moderate to severe fatigue to see if the program impr…

This study tests whether high-flow nasal oxygen can prevent low oxygen levels and breathing complications in patients undergoing a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (TAVR). About 452 adults having elective TAVR will receive either high-flow oxygen or standard oxygen duri…

This study looks at whether adjusting the settings on a mechanical cough-assist device (MI-E) can remove more mucus from the lungs of critically ill patients on breathing machines. About 26 adults who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours will take part. Researchers wi…
