High dose cabergoline for small prolactin tumors in women
This trial tests a higher dose of the drug cabergoline to see if it works better for small prolactin-secreting tumors (microprolactinomas) in premenopausal women who have not been treated before. It aims to find a safe and effective way to lower high prolactin levels and shrink the tumor.
Belo HorizonteAges 18 years+ - NCT07463014Recruiting
Peer support for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether getting support from a trained peer coach who has also had a stroke can help you recover better. It's designed for people who have had a stroke and recently left the hospital.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT07466823Recruiting
Spasticity Patterns and Quality of Life in MS
This study looks at patterns of muscle stiffness (spasticity) in people with multiple sclerosis and how these patterns affect daily life and well-being. It aims to better understand the link between spasticity and quality of life.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07467473Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation study for depression
This trial uses a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (a gentle magnetic pulse) to see if activating a specific brain area helps people with depression feel more positive emotions. It involves brain imaging and memory tasks.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT07468604RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block for long COVID symptoms
This study tests a procedure called a cervicothoracic sympathetic block (a nerve block in the neck) to see if it helps with long-term symptoms after COVID-19, like dizziness, sweating, or stomach problems. It's for people whose symptoms have lasted at least 3 months and who have not tried this treatment before.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07470151Recruiting
Study of EVM18001 for hard-to-treat autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new treatment, EVM18001, for people with lupus, myasthenia gravis, or systemic sclerosis that hasn't improved with standard therapies. It aims to see if this therapy can help control the disease.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT07470606RecruitingPhase 2
Memantine and raloxifene for brain protection during radiation
This trial tests whether two medications, memantine and raloxifene, can help protect memory and thinking abilities during radiation therapy for brain tumors. It is for people who are about to start or have started radiation therapy for a solid tumor in the brain.
