This study is testing whether combining brief periods of breathing low oxygen with spinal stimulation and walking training can help people with chronic spinal cord injuries walk better. Researchers want to see if this three-part approach improves walking speed, endurance, and str…

This study is testing whether repeatedly breathing low oxygen levels for short periods can help improve walking and strength in people with chronic spinal cord injuries. Researchers want to understand how this 'intermittent hypoxia' treatment works and whether combining it with w…

This study is testing whether a portable, at-home brain stimulation device, combined with sensory training exercises, can effectively reduce phantom limb pain. It will involve 290 adults with limb amputations who regularly experience this pain. The goal is to see if this non-drug…

This study is testing whether a specific type of slow, controlled yoga breathing called Ujjayi can help people with spinal cord injuries. Twenty participants will learn and practice this breathing technique for six weeks. Researchers will measure if it improves their breathing pa…

This study is testing whether a combination of three treatments can help improve walking ability in adults with chronic spinal cord injury. The treatments involve briefly breathing air with low oxygen levels, receiving mild electrical stimulation to the spine, and doing walking t…

This study is testing a new non-drug therapy for fibromyalgia pain. Researchers want to see if a combination of brain training exercises and acupuncture can improve pain relief by helping patients and clinicians get 'in sync.' They will use special brain scans to measure this con…

This study is testing whether wearing smart ring sensors and seeing movement data on a smartphone app can help people who have had a stroke use their affected arm more during everyday tasks. It involves 50 adults who had a stroke over a year ago. Participants will wear the sensor…

This study is testing a new wrist-worn sensor system, called StrokeWear, to see if it helps people who had a stroke over six months ago use their weakened arm more in their daily home life. 32 participants will be randomly assigned to either use the sensor system along with a coa…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive treatment called extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) can help reduce pain and improve movement in athletes who have developed knee arthritis after ACL surgery. Researchers will compare the effects of real shockwave therapy to a fak…

This early-stage study is investigating whether therapy sessions with the drug MDMA can help reduce the chronic pain of fibromyalgia. Researchers will use special brain scans on 20 participants to see how the treatment might change brain activity and improve the patient-therapist…

This study is testing whether combining two approaches—a gentle ear stimulation device and weekly video therapy sessions—can help people with functional dyspepsia. Researchers want to see if this 'gut-brain' approach reduces stomach pain, bloating, and anxiety related to digestio…

This study is testing a new wrist-worn sensor system, called StrokeWear, to see if it helps people recovering from a stroke use their weakened arm more in their daily home life. About 88 participants will either use the sensor along with a coaching program or follow their usual h…

This study is testing whether two types of noninvasive brain stimulation can reduce chronic pain in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will compare real stimulation to fake stimulation in 95 adults who have had persistent hand pain for at least six months. The goal i…

This study is examining how the FDA-cleared Q-Collar device affects blood flow to the brain during exercise and breathing tests. Researchers will compare brain blood flow measurements when healthy adults wear the device versus when they don't during stationary biking, standing te…

This study aims to understand how the brain responds to placebo treatments during stroke recovery. Researchers will examine 56 people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago, using brain scans to measure activity during different types of placebo treatments. The goal is to learn h…

This study aims to understand how two people's brains interact, especially comparing romantic partners to strangers. Researchers will use special EEG caps to record brain activity from 40 healthy participants while they complete tasks together, both in person and remotely. The go…
