This study tests whether a structured telemedicine program before heart surgery can reduce complications and improve outcomes for people with heart failure. About 162 adults with high NT-proBNP levels (a marker of heart stress) will be randomly assigned to either standard care or…

This study tests a new group therapy program for teens aged 13-17 with migraine. The program combines high-intensity interval training, progressive muscle relaxation, and education sessions over 18 weeks. Researchers want to see if it reduces how often migraines happen, how long …

This study tests whether applying shockwaves to the leg wound after heart bypass surgery can reduce healing problems. About 120 adults needing bypass with vein grafts will receive either shockwave treatment or a sham procedure. The goal is to see if this simple addition lowers in…

This study will follow 1000 people with a slow heartbeat (bradycardia) who already have a specific type of pacemaker. The pacemaker will track sleep-related breathing problems and daily activity to see if these can predict future heart attacks, strokes, or irregular heart rhythms…

This study tests if a personalized preparation program before hip or knee replacement surgery can improve recovery. 180 adults with health conditions like poor fitness or stress will either get standard care or a program with exercise, nutrition advice, and mental support. The go…

This study looks at whether people who have a heart attack can be discharged from the hospital after about 24 hours instead of the usual 36 hours or more. Researchers want to see if early discharge is just as safe and does not lead to more heart problems, repeat hospital visits, …

This study is looking at 800 adults with rheumatoid arthritis to create a standard screening plan for lung complications. Researchers will use CT scans and AI to analyze risk factors and detect lung issues early. The goal is to improve monitoring and care for people with rheumato…

This study uses leftover spinal fluid from 10 patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus to see how different mixtures of local anesthetics and additives form crystals over time. Researchers will grade the amount of crystallization and measure pH changes. The goal is to better u…

This study follows 100 trans men and gender-diverse individuals to see how gender-affirming hormone therapy and mastectomy change their feelings of breast-related distress. Participants will complete surveys before starting hormones, during hormone therapy, and after chest surger…

This study tests a non-invasive imaging method to find the best pacemaker settings for people with heart failure. About 25 participants will have their heart activation times measured under 16 different device settings. The goal is to improve how well the pacemaker works, but thi…
