This study looks at two ways to treat a serious type of shoulder fracture in people aged 65 to 85. One option is a shoulder replacement surgery, and the other is treatment without surgery, like using a sling and physical therapy. The goal is to see which method helps patients reg…

This study tests a digital app designed to help women who had pregnancy complications like preeclampsia or gestational diabetes. These conditions raise the risk of future heart disease, but many women miss recommended follow-up care. The app provides personalized support and remi…

This study aimed to see if a special breathing device (isocapnic hyperventilation) could remove methanol from the blood of poisoned patients, similar to how dialysis works. The plan was to give the antidote fomepizole and have patients breathe on the device while measuring methan…

This study compares two treatments for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver: surgical removal of the tumors versus a less invasive needle ablation technique that uses heat or cold to destroy them. About 230 patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments…

This study looks at whether a urine test called BladMetrix can reliably detect bladder cancer recurrence in 500 adults with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Participants provide extra urine samples during routine follow-up visits over two years. The goal is to see if this test…

This study tests a virtual version of the Body Project, a program designed to prevent eating disorders in young women (ages 16-25) who have body image concerns. About 441 participants will join online groups led by either a peer or a clinician. The goal is to see if the program r…

This study compares a self-management program to usual care for people with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (chronic hip pain). About 110 adults aged 18-70 with hip pain lasting over 3 months will be randomly assigned to either the self-management program or standard care. Res…

This study tests a new type of talk therapy called Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) for people with chronic widespread pain, including fibromyalgia. Fifteen adults will track their pain, mood, sleep, and daily activities several times a day for up to 8 weeks. The goal is to see if…

This study follows 50 pregnant women with and without familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic high-cholesterol condition) through their first year after giving birth. Researchers measure changes in cholesterol and heart risk markers, and how breastfeeding affects them. The goal …

This study tests a small sensor that measures carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature in tissue after reconstructive surgery. If blood flow is blocked, CO2 rises and temperature drops, alerting doctors early. The goal is to see if the sensor can quickly detect tissue ischemia (lack …

This study tests whether a small monitoring probe placed near the surgical site can detect internal leaks early after pancreatic cancer surgery. About 200 adults having this operation will be randomly assigned to receive the probe or standard care. The goal is to see if early det…

This study tests a small sensor placed in the muscle of a replanted arm or leg after traumatic amputation. The sensor measures carbon dioxide and temperature continuously for up to 10 days to quickly detect blocked blood flow. If a problem is found, doctors can operate early to t…

This study looks at whether bacteria living in your gut and mouth are connected to the risk of stroke in people with narrowed neck arteries. Researchers will measure certain waste products from these bacteria in the blood and track who later has a stroke or worsening artery block…

This study looks at people with chronic mesenteric ischemia, a condition where blood flow to the gut is reduced. Researchers will measure oxygen levels in the stomach and small intestine using a special tool during an endoscopy. The goal is to better understand the condition and …

This study tests whether women with high-risk pregnancies can safely monitor their health from home instead of staying in the hospital. Researchers will check if home monitoring is feasible, safe, and cost-effective, and whether it improves patients' quality of life. The study in…
