Virtual nature walks for depression in MS
This study tests whether virtual reality nature walks can help improve depression in people with progressive multiple sclerosis. You will use a VR headset at home to watch calming nature scenes, and researchers will see how it affects your mood.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07390539RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells targeting B7-H3 for brain tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune therapy (CAR T cells) that targets a protein called B7-H3 found on some brain tumors. It is for children and young adults with certain brain or spinal cord tumors that have come back after standard treatment, and aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2–21 - NCT07397117Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided nerve block for sciatica pain
This trial tests if an ultrasound-guided nerve block can provide better pain relief for sciatica compared to standard care. If you have severe leg pain from sciatica, this study might help you find effective pain control.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07392554Recruiting
Virtual reality for public speaking practice
This trial tests if virtual reality can help higher education students improve their public speaking skills. You'll use a VR program to practice speaking in front of an audience, which may reduce anxiety and improve your confidence.
Liège, LiègeAges 20–30 - NCT07393620Recruiting
Predicting brain outcomes in newborns with mild oxygen loss
This study uses brain monitoring and oxygen measurements in newborns who had a mild lack of oxygen at birth to see if these tests can predict how the baby will develop. The goal is to find early signs that might help guide care.
BursaAges birth–6 hours - NCT07397923RecruitingPhase 2
Zenicom digital therapy for post-stroke aphasia
This study tests a digital therapy app called Zenicom that may help improve language problems after a stroke. It is for people who had a first stroke in the last 3 months and now have trouble speaking or understanding language.
Seongnam-siAges 19 years+ - NCT07390136Recruiting
Brain development study for babies with and without early brain injury
This study looks at how babies' brains develop, comparing infants who had a brain injury around birth with healthy babies. It could help understand early thinking and learning abilities.
Madison, WisconsinAges 3 months–2 years - NCT07393880Recruiting
Sound and training for chronic tinnitus
This trial combines sound therapy with electrical stimulation and auditory training to reduce chronic tonal tinnitus. It may help if you have had constant ringing in your ears for more than 3 months but less than 5 years.
Dublin, DublinAges 18–80 - NCT07392229RecruitingPhase 2
Zanubrutinib for Anti-MAG Neuropathy
This trial tests whether the oral drug zanubrutinib can help people with anti-MAG antibody polyneuropathy, a nerve condition often linked to certain blood cancers. It aims to improve nerve symptoms by targeting the immune cells responsible.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07389694Recruiting
Brain stimulation for stuttering: a TMS study
This study tests whether a non‑invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce stuttering. The trial involves sitting in a chair while a magnetic coil gently stimulates parts of your brain that control speech.
Manhattan, KansasAges 18–65 - NCT07390760Recruiting
