Intermittent low-oxygen therapy for sleep apnea and health risks
This early-stage study tests a treatment that briefly reduces oxygen during sleep to improve “plasticity,” with the goal of helping people with obstructive or mixed sleep apnea. It also looks at related conditions like high blood pressure and pre-diabetes or cholesterol problems, especially in people who haven’t tried CPAP yet.
Detroit, MichiganAges 30–60 - NCT05323864Recruiting
Altitude exposure study for anxiety and low mood
This trial looks at what happens to people with anxiety and depressive symptoms after going to high altitude with low oxygen. It may help researchers understand whether altitude affects these symptoms and how it might be managed.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18–65 - NCT05351827Recruiting
Mild intermittent hypoxia for autonomic function in spinal cord injury
This study is testing whether mild intermittent hypoxia (brief episodes of reduced oxygen) can improve autonomic nervous system function (which controls things like blood pressure and heart rate) in people with incomplete spinal cord injuries. It may help reduce symptoms like dizziness or irregular heart rate.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–60 - NCT04971564Recruiting
Blood inflammation test study in sudden brain oxygen loss
This trial looks at blood “inflammation-related” biomarkers to understand what happens early after certain sudden brain events. It may help doctors predict outcomes and tailor treatment for people like those with stroke types that sometimes need a clot-removal procedure.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT04007432Recruiting
Testing nighttime low-oxygen levels after hip fracture surgery
This study checks how often older adults get low oxygen during the night after hip fracture surgery. It may help doctors better monitor and improve care during hospital recovery.
ParisAges 70 years+ - NCT05376267Recruiting
Testing how long cooling lasts after pediatric cardiac arrest
This study tests whether using body cooling for different lengths of time helps children recover better after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It focuses on children who remain very unresponsive after resuscitation and need a breathing tube and steady temperature control.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2 days–17 years - NCT05798923RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new drug for pulmonary hypertension with lung disease
This trial tests an investigational drug called LAM-001 for people who have pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) along with a type of lung disease called interstitial lung disease. The drug may help improve symptoms and daily function. This study will see if the drug is safe and helpful for this condition.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–85 - NCT05246475Recruiting
PET-MRI scan study for oxygen levels in head and neck tumors
This study uses a combined PET-MRI scan to measure how much oxygen a head and neck tumor has. It may help doctors understand tumor “oxygen levels,” which can relate to how tumors grow and respond to treatment.
Turku, G102881Ages 18–80 - NCT05214885Recruiting
Study biomarkers in kidney cancer and healthy people
This study looks at blood or body measures called “biomarkers” to understand how lack of oxygen and body energy changes in clear cell kidney cancer. It compares people with kidney cancer to carefully matched healthy volunteers to see what patterns might help improve understanding or future care.
JinanAges Any age - NCT06048796Recruiting
Early stopping of sedation after cardiac arrest with normal EEG
This study is testing whether it is safe to stop sedation and temperature management early in cardiac arrest patients who have a normal-looking brain wave test (EEG). If you qualify, you would stop sedation sooner than usual, which may help you wake up faster.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07852936Recruiting
Group therapy for emotional recovery after brain injury
This study tests a group-based talk therapy program designed to help people with acquired brain injury express and process emotions, aiming to improve mental health and coping after injury.
UppsalaAges 18 years+ - NCT07782216Recruiting
Studying brain proteins after acute brain injury
This study looks at how certain brain proteins (called biomarkers) behave in the blood after an acute brain injury. The goal is to see if these proteins can help doctors quickly assess the severity of the injury. Participation involves giving blood samples at specific times after your injury.
Pécs, BranyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07701759Recruiting
Oxygen levels during eye injections for premature babies
This study looks at how often low oxygen levels happen in premature babies when they get eye injections for a serious eye condition. The goal is to understand the risks and make the procedure safer.
