This trial tests whether four weeks of supervised aerobic exercise can improve sleep and nervous system function in adults with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will compare an exercise group with a sleep-education-only group, measuring changes in sleep apnea…

This trial tests whether a newer acid-reducing drug, vonoprazan, is better than a double dose of the standard drug esomeprazole at preventing rebleeding in people who have had a bleeding stomach or intestinal ulcer treated with endoscopy. About 108 adults at high risk of rebleedi…

This trial tests whether applying sucralfate—a medication that forms a protective barrier over wounds—directly onto esophageal ulcers after variceal banding can speed healing and reduce rebleeding. The study includes adults with cirrhosis who have bleeding esophageal varices. Par…

This study tests whether spraying a powder made of tranexamic acid and sucralfate onto bleeding sites in the colon can lower the chance of rebleeding after standard treatment. About 60 people hospitalized for lower GI bleeding will take part. All receive usual care, and half also…

This study tests whether using an AI tool to analyze a patient's body composition from a CT scan can help doctors personalize chemotherapy dosing. The goal is to reduce severe side effects like low white blood cell counts in women with endometrial or ovarian cancer. About 294 par…

This study is testing a new device called PropArm-PosiMoF (PropArm) that aims to measure proprioception—your sense of where your arm is and how much force it uses—in the upper limbs. Researchers will first check how reliable and accurate the device is in healthy young adults, the…

This study tests whether spraying a protective medication (sucralfate) on the wound after removing colon polyps can prevent delayed bleeding better than the standard method of placing clips. The trial will include 160 patients who take blood thinners and have large polyps. Partic…

People with Parkinson's disease often struggle with balance and anxiety, and the two can make each other worse, especially when they try to walk and think at the same time. High-intensity aerobic exercise may help both, but Parkinson's symptoms make it hard for many to reach that…

This study tests a newer nerve block (cervical erector spinae plane block) against the standard one (interscalene block) for pain after shoulder arthroscopy. The standard block often causes temporary diaphragm paralysis, making breathing harder. The new block aims to provide simi…

This study explores whether tracking eye movements and arm motions during virtual reality driving tasks can help identify early signs of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older adults. Researchers will enroll 192 participants, including healthy young adults, healthy older adults…
