This study is testing if adding blood flow restriction (BFR) training to standard rehab helps people recover better after Achilles tendon surgery. BFR involves using a special cuff during light exercise. Researchers will compare recovery in 82 adults who get either standard rehab…

This study compares two surgical techniques used to cover receding gums on the lower front teeth. Researchers will randomly assign participants to receive either a standard flap surgery or a newer, less invasive tunnel technique, both using a small tissue graft from the roof of t…

This study is looking at whether a supervised exercise program, combined with hormone replacement therapy, can help improve health in women after menopause. It will measure changes in body fat, muscle mass, heart disease risk, and how well the body uses insulin. About 390 postmen…

This study compares two surgical methods for covering receding gums on multiple teeth in the upper jaw. It aims to see which technique provides better and longer-lasting coverage, which can reduce tooth sensitivity and improve appearance. Participants will be randomly assigned to…

This study is testing a new short-term therapy called the Suicidal Crisis Intervention (SCI) to see if it can help reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors. It will involve 390 adults who have recently experienced a suicidal crisis or attempt. The therapy focuses on creating a safe…

This study is developing a computer-based planning tool to make a common liver cancer treatment more precise. The treatment involves injecting tiny radioactive beads into the liver's blood vessels to attack tumors. Researchers will use patient scans to create digital models, hopi…

This study is testing if adding a gentle, constant pressure to the lungs during CPR (called PEEP) helps restart the heart and improves survival for adults who suffer a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Researchers will compare standard CPR to CPR with this added pressure to se…

This study is testing whether a small, flexible tube (stent) placed during a camera procedure can effectively reverse a gastric bypass, offering a less invasive alternative to major surgery. It aims to help patients who are experiencing serious complications from their original w…

This study aims to find out if newer 3D ultrasound methods work as well as MRI scans for detecting a uterine septum, which is a wall of tissue dividing the womb. Researchers will compare three different imaging techniques in women aged 18-45 who might have this condition. Partici…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive lab test called the Aurora test to see if it helps doctors choose the best embryo for transfer during IVF treatment. The test analyzes cells that naturally surround the egg to predict its potential for leading to a successful pregnancy. R…

This study compares two different gum graft surgery techniques used to cover receding gums. Researchers want to see which method provides better, longer-lasting coverage of the exposed tooth root, which can reduce sensitivity and improve appearance. Participants will be randomly …

This study is testing whether a 12-week phone-based activity coaching program can help people who have had surgery for lung cancer become more physically active. 90 participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the coaching program or continue with their usual care. Th…

This study aims to find out which of two different medication approaches for IVF egg stimulation causes less stress and provides better quality of life for patients. Women aged 18-40 undergoing either fertility preservation or genetic testing will try both treatment methods in a …

This study is testing whether a special type of low-intensity strength training, which uses inflatable cuffs to partially restrict blood flow, can safely improve muscle and bone health in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease). Forty adults with the mildest fo…

This study is testing whether a medical procedure called NovaSure endometrial ablation can be successfully performed in an outpatient clinic to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. The procedure uses radiofrequency energy to remove the uterine lining. Researchers will enroll 30 women …

This study is testing a new way to numb children's teeth during surgery to see if it helps them feel better afterward. When kids have a permanent molar removed while fully asleep, the usual numbing medicine can make their lips and cheeks numb, leading to accidental biting and dis…

This study is testing whether drinking concentrated beetroot juice for a week before colon surgery can help patients' digestive systems 'wake up' faster afterward. It aims to reduce a common and uncomfortable complication where the bowels temporarily stop working, which can delay…

This study is testing whether combining a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique with a specific type of talk therapy is more effective at reducing repetitive, negative thinking (chronic worry and rumination) than the therapy alone. Participants with generalized anxiety…

This study aims to see if smart insoles can measure walking patterns as accurately as a specialized lab system. Researchers will compare measurements from pressure-sensitive insoles worn in shoes with those from an advanced treadmill lab in 30 people recovering from stroke or spi…

This study aims to see if a short training video can help doctors better recognize signs that a colon polyp has grown back at the site of a previous removal. Doctors of all experience levels will review images of colon tissue before and after watching the training video to see if…

This study aims to find out if the standard antibiotic doses given to critically ill babies and children in intensive care are effective. Researchers will measure antibiotic levels in the blood of up to 640 young patients to see if the doses are high enough to fight infections. T…

This study aims to understand how a stroke affects the natural arm swing during walking. Researchers will measure brain activity and muscle patterns in stroke survivors and healthy people while they walk. The goal is to gather fundamental knowledge about this connection to help d…

This study aims to find out if the standard antibiotic doses given to critically ill babies and children on ECMO (a heart-lung machine) are strong enough to fight infections. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood of 300 young patients to see if the current doses hit t…

This study looks at breathing data collected from about 150 people who suffered cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Researchers want to understand if a measurement called the Airway Opening Index (AOI), taken from a breathing monitor, is common during CPR and if it can help pred…
