This study looks at how to predict dangerous brain swelling after endovascular treatment for large artery stroke. It uses CT scans to identify patients at risk, which could help doctors monitor and treat them more closely.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07812090RecruitingPhase 2
Oral medication for diabetic macular edema
This study tests an oral medication that may reduce swelling in the retina caused by diabetes. If you have diabetic macular edema affecting your central vision, this trial could help you preserve or improve your sight.
McAllen, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07760363Recruiting
Foot exercise device for leg swelling
This study tests if using a foot pedal device while lying down can help reduce leg swelling in the hospital. It aims to see if this simple exercise can improve comfort and outcomes for people with fluid buildup.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07729137RecruitingPhase 2
Eye cell therapy for corneal swelling
This trial tests an investigational cell therapy called EO2002 for people with corneal edema (swelling of the clear front part of the eye) caused by endothelial dysfunction, which can happen with Fuchs dystrophy or after cataract surgery. The treatment aims to restore the inner layer of the cornea to reduce swelling and improve vision.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT07708142RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new injection for swelling after retinal vein blockage
This trial tests a new medicine called SMO1 for people with vision loss and swelling in the eye caused by a blocked vein in the retina. It involves regular eye injections to see if the medicine can reduce swelling and improve vision.
Seoul, Gangdong-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07705555RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new eye injection to standard treatment for diabetic eye swelling
This trial tests if a new medicine (MK-8748) works as well as or better than the usual treatment (aflibercept) for people with diabetic macular edema, a condition that causes vision loss from diabetes-related swelling in the back of the eye.
