Melatonin for newborns with brain injury after oxygen problems
This early study tests whether giving melatonin to newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (brain injury from not enough oxygen around birth) can help protect the brain while they are cooled (therapeutic hypothermia). It may be most relevant if your baby shows early brain-injury signs and meets specific blood test and birth-history timing criteria.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Up to 6 hours - NCT02260271Enrolling by invitation
Study for newborns with severe oxygen-related brain injury
This trial is for newborn babies who had an oxygen shortage around birth and now have severe brain injury. It aims to test approaches that may help improve outcomes after this kind of early-life brain damage.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 1 day–3 weeks - NCT00704626Enrolling by invitation
Blood antibody tests in autoimmune brain and nerve diseases
This study looks at blood “auto-antibodies,” which are immune proteins that may attack the body, in people with certain brain and nerve conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and how the immune system is involved.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07411612Recruiting
Blood markers and confusion after surgery in older adults
This study looks at how inflammation and brain-related substances in the blood after surgery are linked to confusion (delirium) in older adults. It aims to find early warning signs to prevent this common complication.
ViennaAges 65 years+ - NCT07417280Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for neurological disorders
This trial tests a gentle ultrasound treatment (LIFUS) for people with various brain conditions like epilepsy, tumours, or movement disorders. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach can help where other treatments are being used.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–85 - NCT07421882Recruiting
Cooling after cardiac arrest to improve brain recovery
This trial tests if starting body cooling before reaching the hospital can help protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for adults who are unconscious after their heartbeat has been restored by emergency services.
SingaporeAges 16–80 - NCT07437989Recruiting
Peripheral neuropathy observation study
