Miami, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT03663777Recruiting
Hand strength training for women with poor leg blood flow
This trial tests whether guided handgrip (hand strength) exercises can improve health in post-menopausal women who have reduced blood flow to the legs. It may help your circulation and overall function, as long as you can safely do the training and keep your current medications during the study.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 45 years+ - NCT03671889Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment to open the brain barrier for Alzheimer’s
This trial tests a non-surgical ultrasound procedure (called MR-guided focused ultrasound) meant to temporarily “open” the brain’s protective barrier so treatments may work better for Alzheimer’s disease. It also looks at safety and how well people tolerate the procedure and related tests.
Delray Beach, FloridaAges 50–85 - NCT03681652Recruiting
Study of recovery outcomes after Crohn’s surgery in children
This study looks at outcomes after children with Crohn’s disease have part of the bowel removed (ileo-cecal resection). It may help doctors improve post-surgery care, especially for preventing flare-ups in the months after surgery.
Petah Tikva, IsraelAges 6–18 - NCT03711539Recruiting
Exercise program study to help prevent clogged heart arteries
This trial studies whether lifetime endurance exercise is linked to a lower risk of coronary artery disease (clogged heart arteries). It may help explain which people benefit most from regular endurance activity and who may need different prevention steps.
EdegemAges 45–70 - NCT03711617Recruiting
Study of waste products and outcomes in chronic kidney disease
This study looks at “uremic toxins,” which are waste products that build up when kidney function is reduced, and how they relate to health outcomes in people with chronic kidney disease. The results may help doctors better understand what to monitor and target to improve care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03716401Recruiting
Imaging tests to predict kidney disease in type 2 diabetes
This study uses special kidney imaging to look for patterns that can predict how diabetic kidney disease may progress. It may help researchers find better ways to identify people at higher risk using noninvasive (and possibly biopsy-related) tests.
TurkuAges 18–80 - NCT03732612Recruiting
Studies inflammation markers around upcoming vascular surgery
This study looks at signs of “inflammation” (your body’s immune response) in people who are scheduled for vascular surgery. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in blood vessel disease and improve future care.
Gothenburg, VastragotalandAges 18 years+ - NCT03773887Recruiting
Study of liver inflammation and healing in alcohol-related liver disease
