This study compares a pre-recorded, on-demand webinar led by dietitians to traditional one-on-one appointments for adults newly diagnosed with coeliac disease. The goal is to see if the webinar helps patients learn to follow a gluten-free diet just as well as in-person or phone v…

This study looks at whether advanced heart scans (echocardiogram and MRI) can improve diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart is stiff but pumps normally. Standard tests often miss it, leaving many without proper treatment.…

This pilot study tests a safe, non-invasive ear stimulation device (tVNS) paired with computer speech therapy for people with long-term word-finding problems after a stroke. 36 participants will use the device at home for 6 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible, …

This study tests if a small, handheld device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear (tVNS) is safe and practical for people recovering from a brain bleed (subarachnoid haemorrhage). The goal is to see if it can reduce common complications like poor blood flow and inflammation.…

This study tests a treatment called Remote Ischaemic Conditioning (RIC) for people who have had a hip fracture. RIC uses a blood pressure cuff on the arm or leg to briefly stop blood flow, which may reduce inflammation and improve healing. The study will include 12 adults and aim…

This study tests whether a probiotic drink called Symprove can relieve persistent gut symptoms like bloating and pain in adults with coeliac disease who are already on a strict gluten-free diet. About 24 participants will take the probiotic daily, and researchers will track sympt…

This study looks at how sleep quality impacts surgeons' ability to perform operations. Researchers will track sleep patterns and measure surgical skills in 20 surgical trainees and consultants. The goal is to see if better sleep can improve performance and patient safety.

This study follows 320 men with prostate cancer who receive a gel spacer (SpaceOAR) before radiation to see if it causes side effects over three years. Researchers will collect data from medical records and patient questionnaires. The goal is to confirm the spacer's long-term saf…

This study is testing new MRI techniques to see how the heart works during physical stress, like exercise or fluid changes. Researchers will compare healthy volunteers and people with heart conditions to better understand heart function. The goal is to improve diagnosis and care …

This study tests new ways to measure lung function in 60 people with cystic fibrosis. Participants will breathe in a harmless gas (xenon) for a special MRI and do a simple breathing test. The goal is to get a clearer picture of how the lungs change over time, which could help imp…
