This study tests whether two heart failure medications, dapagliflozin and spironolactone, can help the heart recover better after aortic valve replacement. About 445 adults with severe aortic stenosis will take one or both drugs daily for 12 months. The goal is to see if these me…

Researchers are testing whether a higher dose of proton beam therapy can normalise hormone levels better than standard radiotherapy in people with functioning pituitary tumours, including acromegaly and Cushing's disease. Participants receive about six weeks of either standard-do…

This trial compares different HIV drug combinations in children and teens aged 4 weeks to under 15 years, including those starting treatment for the first time and those whose current drugs are failing. Researchers want to see which combinations best keep the virus at very low le…

Liver disease is the only major cause of death on the rise, and once cirrhosis develops, no proven medications exist to help people live longer. This trial tests whether apixaban, a blood thinner already used for clots, can prevent early-stage cirrhosis from progressing to a dang…

This study looks at people who have TB-like changes on chest X-rays but negative sputum tests. It compares different treatment lengths (8 to 24 weeks) versus close monitoring without immediate treatment. The goal is to find the shortest effective treatment and understand who real…

Researchers are testing three advanced diffusion MRI sequences to see which one best identifies men who can safely skip a prostate biopsy. The study includes men with suspicious prostate MRI results and those already scheduled for a routine MRI. By comparing these new scans again…

This study compares an AI algorithm to radiologists in reading prostate MRI scans to detect clinically significant prostate cancer. About 500 men with suspected prostate cancer will have their MRI read by both AI and a radiologist, and results will be compared. If the AI performs…

This study explores whether foot pressure patterns, measured while standing and walking, can be used with machine learning to detect adolescent idiopathic scoliosis early. Researchers will collect data from 500 teens aged 10-18, including those with and without scoliosis. The goa…

Trigeminal neuralgia causes sudden, severe facial pain often mistaken for a toothache, leading to wrong treatments. This study tests a 15-question screening tool in 250 adults with facial pain to see if it can accurately identify possible trigeminal neuralgia before a specialist …

This study tests whether trained young mentor mothers (YMMs) can help pregnant and breastfeeding teenage girls and young women (ages 15-24) in Zimbabwe use HIV prevention tools like PrEP and contraception. About 600 participants will be assigned to either receive support from YMM…

This trial tests whether an intensive, personalized speech therapy program (ICAP) helps people with post-stroke aphasia communicate better and feel better. 334 adults who had a stroke at least 3 months ago will be randomly assigned to either ICAP (100 hours over 4 weeks) or stand…

This study tests a headband-like device called Nettle that delivers gentle electrical stimulation to parts of the brain involved in pain. Twenty adults with chronic migraine will use it at home for 20 minutes each day over three months. The main goal is to see if people can stick…

This observational study looks at whether metabolic inflexibility — the reduced ability to switch between using fats and sugars for energy — is linked to heart muscle injury after major abdominal cancer surgery. Researchers will measure this flexibility using routine pre-surgery …

This study tests a new device called RespiraFibre, a tiny sensor that attaches to oxygen masks or tubes to continuously measure breathing rate. Breathing rate is one of the best early signs that a patient is getting worse, but current methods are often inaccurate or skipped. The …

This study looks at whether people who had a stroke more than six months ago and cannot move their fingers can regain that ability. Researchers will use brain stimulation and nerve tests to understand who might benefit. Participants will receive electrical muscle stimulation and …

This early-phase trial tests an artificial intelligence system that watches live video from pituitary tumor surgeries performed through the nose. The AI identifies anatomy, instruments, and surgical steps, displaying its analysis on tablets for the surgical team (not the lead sur…

This study will enroll 50 adults with a specific type of retinal detachment to look for clues in eye fluid and images that might predict a complication called PVR. Participants will receive standard surgery plus extra non-invasive eye scans and a sample of their eye fluid taken d…

This study explores whether social prescribing—connecting young people to community activities like sports, arts, or volunteering—can improve mental health when added to therapy in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). Researchers will recruit 120 young people aged…
