Long-term outcomes after fetal lung surgery for diaphragmatic hernia
This study follows babies born after a special fetal surgery (FETO) that places a temporary balloon in the baby's windpipe to help the lungs grow when they have a diaphragmatic hernia—a hole in the muscle that separates the chest from the belly. Researchers want to understand how these children do over time after this procedure.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–50 - NCT07552610Recruiting
Sivelestat sodium added to clot removal surgery for stroke
This trial tests whether adding a medication called sivelestat sodium to emergency clot removal surgery (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes in patients with a specific type of stroke caused by a large blood clot in the front part of the brain. The goal is to see if this combination treatment leads to better recovery.
Weifang, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07507734Recruiting
Splint and exercise therapy for jaw joint pain
This trial tests whether a custom mouth splint combined with jaw exercises can reduce pain in the jaw joint (TMJ). It may help people who have had jaw joint pain for at least 3 months.
Istanbul, TuzlaAges 18–65 - NCT06773715Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain from sickle cell disease
This study tests if using virtual reality (VR) can help children and teens with sickle cell disease feel better during a severe pain episode. You would use VR while in the hospital to see if it reduces your pain.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 8–21 - NCT07433725Recruiting
Comparing 3D-printed vs. standard splints for teeth grinding and jaw pain
