At-home medical care for housebound ME/CFS patients
This study is testing a way to improve medical care for people with ME/CFS (including post-COVID ME/CFS) who are mostly homebound. The goal is to see if bringing healthcare to your home helps you better manage your condition.
HanoverAges 18–69 - NCT07346183Recruiting
Text messages and peer support for dementia caregivers
This study tests a program that sends helpful texts and connects you with a trained peer caregiver who has been through similar experiences. It aims to make caring for someone with dementia easier and less stressful.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07348783Recruiting
Yoga for chronic migraine and cluster headache
This study tests whether yoga-based movements can help reduce headache frequency and improve well-being in people with chronic migraine or cluster headache. You would follow online or in-person yoga instructions at home for several weeks, wear an activity tracker, and provide blood samples.
HuddingeAges 18–65 - NCT07347691Recruiting
AI predicts atrial fibrillation after stroke of unknown cause
This trial uses an artificial intelligence (AI) program to see if it can predict which patients who had a stroke from an unknown cause might develop atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). If you have a small heart monitor already implanted, the AI will analyze your ECGs to find early signs of AFib, which could help prevent future strokes.
AnsanAges 30 years+ - NCT07346703Enrolling by invitation
DHA supplement study for multiple sclerosis patients
This trial tests whether taking a DHA supplement (a type of omega-3 fat) can help people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to see if it may improve muscle function or overall well-being.
La Ñora, MurciaAges 18–65 - NCT07350798Recruiting
Using robots and virtual reality for stroke rehab on a treadmill
This trial tests whether robotic devices, virtual reality, or augmented reality can improve walking and balance during treadmill training for people who have had a single stroke. It aims to make rehab more engaging and effective.
Kaposvár, Somogy CountyAges 18–99 - NCT07352358RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinners plus batroxobin for brain vein clots
This trial tests whether adding a medication called batroxobin to standard blood thinners can help treat blood clots in the veins of the brain better than blood thinners alone. It is for people who have been diagnosed in the last month and are not at high risk for bleeding.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07343583Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for bladder control after spinal cord injury
This study tests if stimulating nerves in the lower back or ankle can help improve bladder function in people who have a recent spinal cord injury above the T11 vertebra (mid-back). It aims to find a new way to manage bladder problems without medication.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–65 - NCT07350850RecruitingPhase 2
