CPAP and arousal in new sleep apnea patients
This study tests whether a common sleep apnea treatment (CPAP) affects how easily you wake up and the reasons behind it. It is for people who have just been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are not taking certain sleep medications or alcohol.
North Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07329075Recruiting
Soft robot for hand rehab after stroke
This study tests a soft, wearable robot to help people who had a stroke regain hand and finger movement. It is designed for those whose stroke happened at least 6 months ago, who still have some muscle activity in their hand, and who can sit for short periods.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07328386Recruiting
Neck surgery for brain lymphatic disorder
This trial tests a neck surgery (lymphaticovenous and lymph node-to-vein anastomosis) to see if it improves symptoms in people with Alzheimer's disease linked to a brain lymphatic circulation disorder. It focuses on those with moderate-stage Alzheimer's and confirmed amyloid buildup.
SeoulAges 19–100 - NCT07325487Recruiting
Brain stimulation for walking and balance in SCA6 ataxia
This study tests a new kind of deep brain stimulation that adjusts automatically to improve balance and coordination in adults with SCA6, a genetic form of ataxia. It may help patients who can still walk but have moderate to severe symptoms.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 21–89 - NCT07333079Recruiting
Rehabilitation with biofeedback for stroke recovery
This study tests if adding biofeedback to standard rehabilitation improves hand and arm function after a stroke. Biofeedback uses sensors to show you how your muscles are working, helping you regain movement.
RzeszówAges 45–80 - NCT07332234Recruiting
Optic nerve ultrasound for brain inflammation and pressure
This study uses a quick ultrasound of the optic nerve to help doctors detect swelling or pressure in the brain. It may help people with suspected meningitis, encephalitis, stroke, or brain tumors decide on the best treatment earlier.
Bucharest, BucharestAges 18–60 - NCT07328360Recruiting
High-power laser for outer thigh nerve pain
This study tests whether a special high-power laser can reduce nerve pain on the outer thigh (called meralgia paresthetica). It's for people who have had this pain for at least 3 months and are not on blood thinners or pregnant.
UşakAges 18–65 - NCT07333222Recruiting
Testing a suit to help movement after stroke or MS
This study tests whether wearing a special suit (Mollii) that sends gentle electrical pulses to the body can help improve movement, balance, and daily life for people who have had a stroke or have multiple sclerosis. The suit is meant to calm overactive muscles and help you move better.
