This small pilot study aims to see if a weekly diabetes medication (GLP-1RA) can improve gum health in people who have both severe gum disease (periodontitis) and type 2 diabetes. Researchers will measure changes in gum health over time. The results will help plan a larger future…

This study compares three different surgical procedures for treating enlarged prostate (BPH) symptoms in men. Researchers will evaluate REZUM (water vapor therapy), HoLEP (laser surgery), and TUR-P (traditional resection) to see which works best for improving urinary symptoms and…

This study is testing a new medical device called an abdominal aortic junction tourniquet (AAJT-S) that's designed to stop life-threatening internal bleeding in the torso area. The device is meant to be used by emergency responders on trauma patients with severe injuries before t…

This study is testing whether adding a structured 12-week exercise program to standard immunotherapy can help patients with non-small cell lung cancer. It will compare two different types of exercise training to standard advice to see if exercise improves how well the cancer trea…

This study is testing a new temporary scaffold device designed to help keep severely blocked leg arteries open after a procedure. It focuses on patients with diabetes or those on long-term dialysis who are at high risk of amputation. The goal is to see if using this device helps …

This study tests whether using a brain monitor to guide sedation can reduce sedative medication in adults recovering from heart surgery in intensive care. About 144 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard sedation or sedation guided by the brain monitor.…

This study is testing whether a new 3D modeling technique can help surgeons better plan liver cancer operations. Researchers will create a personalized 3D map of a patient's liver before surgery to predict exactly how much tissue needs to be removed. After surgery, they will comp…

This study aims to see if a 'liquid biopsy' blood test can detect and monitor testicular germ cell tumors. Researchers will enroll 200 men—100 with early-stage cancer and 100 with cancer that has spread—and collect their blood at key points during treatment. The goal is to compar…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive scoring system to predict infection in newborns who are having trouble breathing. The score uses a simple light sensor on the skin along with standard vital signs. Researchers will see if this score, taken in the first 6 hours of life, ca…

This study aims to see if spending time with horses can help reduce stress in adults. Researchers will measure participants' heart rate and mood before and after horse-assisted activities. They will compare these results to people who only observe nature and to a control group no…

This study aims to find out if a partial knee replacement or a full knee replacement works better for adults with arthritis on the inner side of the knee. Researchers will randomly assign 102 participants to receive one of the two standard surgeries. They will then track patients…

This study aims to find the best timing for giving surfactant, a life-saving lung treatment, to extremely premature babies born before 28 weeks. Researchers will compare giving the treatment over 1 minute versus 5 minutes to see which method better stabilizes the baby's oxygen le…

This study looks back at medical records to see if getting a COVID mRNA vaccine shortly before starting immunotherapy helps people with liver cancer respond better to treatment. Researchers will analyze data from about 200 patients in Austria who received both the vaccine and can…
