This study investigates whether a specific molecule (M2R) in the blood can identify infants under one year old who are at risk for apparent life-threatening events (ALTE), which can lead to severe complications or sudden death. Researchers will compare blood samples from infants …

This trial tests whether using a sonic toothbrush and a water flosser improves gum health better than a standard manual toothbrush in people with systemic sclerosis, a rare disease that often affects the mouth. About 20 adults with the condition will be randomly assigned to one o…

This trial tests whether a serratus plane block—a local anesthetic injection near the ribs—can reduce morphine use after video-assisted lung surgery. Sixty adults undergoing lobectomy will receive either ropivacaine or a placebo injection alongside general anesthesia. The goal is…

This study compared a newer, less invasive procedure called balloon sinuplasty to standard surgery for people with frontal sinusitis that did not improve with medication. The balloon procedure uses a small catheter to open blocked sinus passages, aiming to reduce pain, bleeding, …

This study tested whether virtual reality hypnosis can reduce anxiety and pain in children during dental procedures as effectively as nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Thirty anxious children aged 7 to 10 took part. Researchers measured their behavior and pain levels to compare the t…

This study tested a morphine gel applied directly to painful mouth sores caused by chemotherapy. The goal was to see if the gel could relieve pain better than morphine given through an IV. The study included children and young adults aged 5 to 25. The gel was applied four times a…

This pilot study tested whether using brain scans to personalize magnetic stimulation (rTMS) could improve treatment for people with depression that hasn't responded to medication. 27 participants received either personalized rTMS, standard rTMS, or a different type of brain stim…

This trial tests a 6-week training program for elite judokas, involving high-intensity cycling in simulated altitude (like 3000 meters) with or without eccentric cycling—where a motor drives pedals backward and athletes try to slow them down. The goal is to see if this innovative…

This study is looking at whether yearly ultrasound scans can detect blood vessel abnormalities throughout the body in women with Turner syndrome, not just in the heart area. Turner syndrome is a genetic condition that increases the risk of serious vascular problems, which can sho…

This study uses brain MRI scans to compare the prevalence of narrowed arteries in the brain between regular cannabis users and non-users. The goal is to see if cannabis use is associated with a higher chance of having intracranial arterial stenosis, a condition linked to stroke i…

This study looks at how well kidney transplant recipients respond to COVID-19 vaccination. Researchers will measure neutralizing antibodies and specialized immune cell activity in blood samples taken after the second vaccine dose. The goal is to see if these patients, who often h…

This study investigates how Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia alter a person's sense of self and ability to understand others. Researchers will compare patients with healthy older adults using questionnaires and brain imaging. The goal is to link changes in self-awa…

This study looked at whether special MRI scans can detect early brain changes in people with multiple sclerosis who are starting treatment with Tysabri. Researchers planned to follow 70 patients for two years, comparing MRI images before and after treatment. The goal was to find …

This study aimed to understand how the COVID-19 vaccine impacts the immune system in people with lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease. Researchers planned to enroll lupus patients to measure their immune response to the vaccine and see if lupus disease activity or treatments affec…

This study compared three different rehabilitation programs after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Participants were divided into groups with varying periods of immobilization and passive motion before starting active rehab. The goal was to see which program leads to the best sh…

This study looked at how a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) changes brain activity in people with hard-to-treat frontal lobe epilepsy. Researchers measured brain excitability before and after stimulation to unders…

This study looked at bone density in HIV-positive men to see if antiretroviral drugs cause bone thinning. Researchers compared men starting HIV treatment with those not yet on therapy over two years. The goal was to understand why bone loss is more common in HIV patients.
