This study tests whether trained family members can deliver cognitive stimulation therapy—activities designed to help with memory and thinking—to people with mild to moderate dementia at home. The goal is to make this helpful therapy more accessible in Hong Kong.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07530536Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Help Movement After Brain Tumor Surgery
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 22–65 - NCT07531836Recruiting
Prehabilitation for older adults having breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a program of exercise and support before breast cancer surgery to help older patients recover better. It aims to improve strength and overall health so you can get back to your daily life sooner after the operation.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 65 years+ - NCT07526012Recruiting
Stretching techniques for buttock pain from pinched nerve
This study compares two stretching methods to treat piriformis syndrome, a condition where a muscle in your buttock pinches a nerve. The trial tests whether one stretching approach works better than the other for reducing pain.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–55 - NCT07525973Enrolling by invitation
Eye exercises for Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether doing specific eye exercises can help people with Parkinson's disease. The exercises are done three times a week for 8 weeks at a study center.
IsfahanAges 18–80 - NCT07530588Recruiting
Remote CT imaging for fast stroke treatment decisions
This study tests whether CT scans done remotely (by doctors at a distance) can help stroke patients receive clot-busting treatment faster. Stroke treatment works best when given quickly, and this approach aims to speed up diagnosis in areas far from major hospitals.
SandnessjøenAges 18 years+ - NCT07531706Recruiting
How Babies' Brains Process Speech Sounds
This study measures how 7–8-month-old babies' brains respond to spoken language. Researchers want to understand early brain development and predict which babies might have language challenges later, especially those with a family history of language or learning difficulties.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 7 months–8 months - NCT07526350RecruitingEarly Phase 1
MTS109 for Hard-to-Treat Autoimmune Diseases
This early-stage trial tests a new treatment called MTS109 for autoimmune diseases (like lupus, muscle inflammation, scleroderma, vasculitis, or Sjögren's syndrome) that haven't responded well to standard medications. The goal is to see if MTS109 can help control disease that keeps flaring or getting worse despite current treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07529041Enrolling by invitation
Sound cues to help eyes stay still during eye exams
This study tests whether audio feedback (beeping sounds) can help people keep their eyes steady during eye imaging tests. If your eyes move around during exams, this technology might help you stay focused and get better-quality images for diagnosis.
GöttingenAges 18 years+ - NCT07525063Enrolling by invitation
Brain Stimulation for Fibromyalgia Pain Relief
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) can help reduce pain and improve mood in women with fibromyalgia. Researchers will use MRI scans and brain stimulation to understand how pain and reward circuits in the brain work.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07526987RecruitingPhase 3
Minocycline to Help Recovery After Acute Stroke Treatment
This study tests whether an antibiotic called minocycline, given alongside standard stroke treatment (clot-busting medication), can help reduce brain damage and improve recovery. You would receive minocycline around the time of your clot-busting treatment.
Liaocheng, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07530315Recruiting
Exercogs Study: Brain Training to Reduce Dementia Risk
This study tests whether Exercogs®—a computer-based brain training program—can help reduce your risk of memory problems and dementia. You'll do 60-minute sessions three times a week for 24 weeks if you have at least one treatable risk factor like high blood pressure, hearing loss, or physical inactivity.
SintraAges 55 years+ - NCT07525713Recruiting
Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy for Stroke Recovery
This trial tests a virtual reality system that uses mirror therapy—a technique where you practice movements with your unaffected side while watching a reflection—to help improve movement and function after stroke. The system uses special attention-focusing technology to help your brain relearn movements on the affected side.
