Heart Check for Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation
This trial uses heart imaging to better understand stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help doctors decide on the best treatment to prevent another stroke.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06921980Recruiting
Cell therapy and brain function in AIHA
This trial looks at how cell therapy may affect your brain function and mood if you have autoimmune hemolytic anemia. It aims to help doctors understand the psychological changes that can happen during treatment.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06914479RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy and valacyclovir for recurrent brain tumors in young people
This trial tests a new gene therapy that uses two special viruses and an oral antiviral drug (valacyclovir) to treat brain tumors that have come back in children and young adults. The therapy is given right after surgery to remove the tumor, with the goal of helping your immune system fight the cancer.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 3–39 - NCT06036706Recruiting
Radiation types and thinking skills for skull base meningioma
This study compares different radiation methods for treating a slow-growing, non-cancerous brain tumor at the base of the skull. It aims to see which approach best protects memory and thinking abilities.
CaenAges 20–65 - NCT05343130Recruiting
Brain-controlled electrical therapy for arm mobility after spinal injury
This trial studies a brain-computer system that helps control electrical stimulation to improve arm movement after a spinal cord injury. It may help with functional use of the upper limbs during rehabilitation if you meet the specific injury, spasticity, and safety requirements.
Tlalpan, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05622461Recruiting
Recovery support program for children after traumatic brain injury
This trial supports families during the early weeks after a child’s brain injury and hospital stay. It aims to help caregivers and children move toward recovery with better support after discharge.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06910293Recruiting
Brain Activity During Menstrual Cycle vs. Fertility Treatment
This study looks at how natural menstrual cycles and ovarian stimulation (which mimics some fertility treatments) affect brain activity and hormone levels. Researchers want to understand normal brain changes during the cycle to help improve fertility treatments.
Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi EmirateAges 25–35 - NCT06901310Enrolling by invitation
Hyperbaric oxygen for mild head injuries in combat athletes
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber) helps men recover from mild head injuries better than the current standard care (rest). It is for male unarmed combat athletes who have been suspended for a head injury.
Marshfield, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06857006Recruiting
Comparing radiation margins for brain tumors
This trial tests two different radiation margins (how much healthy tissue is included around a brain tumor) during a single treatment session. It aims to see which margin is better at controlling brain metastases while reducing side effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 19 years+ - NCT06804655RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized drug testing for stubborn brain tumors
This study tests a new way to choose treatment for people with brain tumors that have not responded to standard therapies. Your tumor sample is analyzed in the lab to find which drugs might work best for you, and then you receive a personalized treatment plan.
Basel, Basel-LandschaftAges 18 years+ - NCT06813300Recruiting
