Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05065151Recruiting
Studying motivation in Parkinson’s using brain stimulation recordings
This study looks at what drives motivation in people with Parkinson’s disease (or dystonia) by using recordings from an implanted brain stimulation device. It may help researchers understand brain signals behind motivation and improve future treatments.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05016219Recruiting
Light therapy to improve sleep and thinking in early Alzheimer’s
This trial studies rhythmic light therapy to help people with early Alzheimer’s or mild memory problems, especially when sleep is getting worse. If you fit the sleep and vision/medical safety requirements, the study may see whether the therapy improves sleep and thinking-related symptoms.
Menands, New YorkAges 55 years+ - NCT05056857Recruiting
Study immune-web changes in ER+ breast cancer on tamoxifen
This trial studies how the immune system forms “neutrophil extracellular traps” (immune web material) in people with ER-positive breast cancer who take tamoxifen. It aims to understand whether tamoxifen changes this immune activity over time, which may help explain how it works.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05051098Recruiting
Registry for people with hepatitis B infection
This study is a registry, meaning it collects health information from people living with hepatitis B rather than giving a new treatment. It may help researchers better understand different hepatitis B groups and outcomes over time.
HanoverAges 18 years+ - NCT05061342Recruiting
Cancer or healthy volunteers share health and imaging survey data
This study collects information about how cancer care affects daily life, treatment side effects, and quality of life, and it stores imaging and related data for future research. You might be able to take part if you’re scheduled for treatment at the center (or you’re a healthy volunteer) and can complete the questionnaires.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05034432RecruitingPhase 4
Test treatment for dangerous heart rhythm episodes in LVAD patients
This trial studies a procedure to fix abnormal heart rhythms (ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation) in people who have an LVAD and a defibrillator (ICD) or an alternative device. It may help prevent future dangerous rhythm episodes after LVAD treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05051059Recruiting
