S100B and BDNF levels in fibromyalgia
This trial measures two brain-related proteins (S100B and BDNF) in women with fibromyalgia compared to healthy women. It aims to find out if these proteins are linked to fibromyalgia symptoms, which could lead to better understanding or new treatments.
IstanbulAges 18–50 - NCT07360899Recruiting
Closing the left atrial appendage during heart surgery to prevent stroke
This trial tests if closing the left atrial appendage with a special stitch during planned heart surgery can help prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation. If you already need heart surgery, this extra step may reduce your future stroke risk.

Can brain stimulation help adults who stutter speak more fluently?
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce speech errors in adults who have stuttered since childhood. If you are 22 or older, speak English as your main language, and have developmental stuttering, you may be able to join.
Richardson, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT07360977Recruiting
Broccoli supplement for Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis
This trial tests a natural compound (from broccoli sprouts) called glucoraphanin, which may help protect brain cells in people with Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis. It aims to see if taking this supplement can slow down or improve symptoms.
MessinaAges 1–75 - NCT07356167Recruiting
Neurosensory training for mild brain injury symptoms
This study tests a special training program that uses sound and head movements to help people with long-lasting symptoms after a mild brain injury or sudden sensory event. The goal is to see if this 'neurosensory' training can reduce problems like dizziness, headache, and brain fog.
