This study compares a newer pacemaker method, left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), to the standard right ventricular pacing in 200 patients with heart block and normal heart function. The goal is to see if LBBAP better preserves the heart's pumping ability and reduces complica…

This phase 3 trial tests whether a daily inhaler containing two bronchodilators (vilanterol and umeclidinium) can help preserve lung function and improve quality of life in people with mild-to-moderate COPD who are undergoing lung cancer surgery. About 204 participants will use t…

This study tests whether a digital rehabilitation platform helps people recover after a living donor liver transplant. 36 adults will be split into two groups: one gets the digital program plus standard education, the other gets standard education only. Researchers will measure p…

This study compares two treatments for blocked heart arteries in people who are at high risk of bleeding. One treatment uses a drug-coated balloon (DCB) and the other a drug-eluting stent (DES). The goal is to see if the balloon works just as well as the stent while possibly caus…

The GMFCS sorts children with cerebral palsy into five levels of gross motor function, largely based on two visible things: whether an adult physically helps the child move, and whether the child bears weight on an external object like a walker or furniture. Scoring these cues ta…

This study compares breast ultrasound with two types of breast MRI (abbreviated and full protocol) for detecting new breast cancers in women who have dense breasts and a personal history of breast cancer. About 1,756 women will be randomly assigned to one of the screening methods…

This study tests whether a 6-week, caregiver-assisted breathing program done at home with remote coaching is practical and helpful for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Twelve children will do breathing exercises, airway clearance, and relaxation techniques at least 5 ti…

This study follows breast cancer patients who have had curative surgery and are receiving hypofractionated radiation therapy—shorter treatment courses lasting one to three weeks. Researchers will track changes in breast skin, fibrosis, cosmetic appearance, and patient-reported ou…

This study looks at whether sensors inside implanted heart devices can warn of worsening heart failure. Researchers will track 500 adults with heart failure or cardiomyopathy who have a Boston Scientific ICD or CRT-D equipped with HeartLogic, Sleep Incline, and Apnea Scan functio…

This study tests a generative AI system that listens to doctor-patient conversations and automatically creates medical notes. The goal is to see if it saves time and reduces the burden of paperwork for emergency department staff. About 1,148 patients and 20 healthcare providers a…

This study works with children aged 7 to 16 who have borderline intellectual disorder, their families, and experts to improve a tablet-based AI program that helps with thinking and language skills. Researchers are collecting feedback through interviews and workshops to make the p…

This study watches 100 people with severe asthma who are taking biologic drugs. Researchers measure how the body reacts to the drug and whether it affects asthma attacks. The goal is to learn more about drug effectiveness and safety.

This study follows over 2,400 adults in Korea who have had their first stroke. Researchers will track their recovery, daily activities, and quality of life for 10 years. The goal is to learn what factors help or hinder long-term recovery after a stroke.

This study is a registry that follows over 1,000 people with suspected ischemic heart disease. Doctors use special tests during heart catheterization to measure blood flow and pressure in the heart's small vessels. The goal is to see if these measurements can predict future heart…

This study aims to develop a new way to measure arm and hand function in people with brain disorders like stroke or Parkinson's disease. Researchers will use a smart board and smart glove to collect movement data and compare it with standard tests. The goal is to create a more pr…
