This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people who use wheelchairs or scooters prevent and manage falls. Researchers will compare the app to standard fall prevention information in 120 adults with spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis. The goal is to see which appro…

This study tests a program called Journey of Hope-C19 to see if it can prevent emotional and behavioral problems in children from low-income, minority communities who have faced both the COVID-19 pandemic and another major disaster. About 800 children in grades 3-8 will take part…

This study tests a wearable sensor that tracks neck muscle activity during swallowing exercises, providing real-time feedback to patients. Researchers want to see if adding this device to standard therapy improves swallowing more than therapy alone. The study includes 120 adults …

This study tests a new algorithm designed to improve speech understanding in noisy environments for people with cochlear implants. About 25 adults with bilateral implants will listen to sentences in background noise and try to repeat them, as well as point out where sounds come f…

This trial tests whether a technique called neurofeedback can help people with bothersome tinnitus. Using real-time brain scans, participants learn to adjust the activity of brain networks linked to emotion and cognition, with the goal of reducing tinnitus-related distress. The s…

This study looks at how eating different food combinations after resistance exercise affects muscle protein synthesis. Fifteen healthy, recreationally active adults will do leg exercises and then eat either potato with beef, bread with beef, or beef alone. Researchers will take b…

This study will use special 'tracer' molecules (stable isotopes) to measure how the body of an adult with obesity processes protein and sugar. Eight participants will each undergo two test sessions: one measuring protein breakdown and another measuring glucose tolerance. The goal…

This study looks at how a 12-week exercise program affects the way older adults (over 65) with type 2 diabetes use protein from their diet. Thirty participants will do moderate-to-vigorous aerobic and strength training, and researchers will measure changes in protein balance, gut…
