This trial tests a support group program for people with progressive aphasia (a language disorder that gets worse over time) and their caregivers. The groups meet online to share experiences and learn together.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06511934Recruiting
BrainGate2 tablet trial for tetraplegia
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BrainGate2) system for people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs). It aims to see if the system can help you control a tablet computer using only your brain signals. This is for people who were already in the BrainGate2 study.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06512168Recruiting
Measuring aided language development in children
This study tests whether using an iPad communication app helps children with Down syndrome or cerebral palsy who have trouble speaking. It looks at how their language skills grow over time.
Orlando, FloridaAges 3.5 years–5 years - NCT06512779Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment clustering study
This study looks at sleep recordings to group people with obstructive sleep apnea based on their unique signals. The goal is to match each person to the best treatment for them.
TainanAges 20 years+ - NCT06513403Recruiting
Using AI to detect memory loss from facial expressions
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze your facial expressions and see if it can help tell the difference between healthy aging, mild memory loss, and dementia. It's a simple, non-invasive way to explore early detection of cognitive decline.
HsinchuAges 50–75 - NCT06513650Recruiting
Treating fainting caused by low blood pressure
This trial tests if adjusting blood pressure medicines or adding a new medicine (fludrocortisone) can reduce fainting episodes in people who have severe reflex syncope that hasn't improved with lifestyle changes.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06514482Recruiting
Spanish sleep apnea and daytime sleepiness registry
This study will collect information from people with suspected sleep apnea who feel very sleepy during the day. If you are 18 or older and about to have a sleep study, you may be able to help researchers learn more about this condition.
Logroño, La RiojaAges 18 years+ - NCT06514703Recruiting
CT vs. X-ray Guided Nerve Ablation for Knee Arthritis
This study compares two different image-guided techniques (CT scan vs. fluoroscopy) to perform a nerve ablation procedure that blocks pain signals from the knee. It aims to find which method works better for reducing pain in people with knee osteoarthritis.
Zagazig, Sharqia ProvinceAges 45–80 - NCT06514846Recruiting
Early detection of nerve damage in diabetes
This study uses a simple screening tool to find nerve damage early in people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It may help you understand your risk and take steps to protect your nerves.
SohagAges 33–65 - NCT06515223Recruiting
Pelvic rehab with spinal cord stimulation after injury
This study tests a spinal cord stimulator to help improve bladder and pelvic function in people with a spinal cord injury. You would use a small device placed near the spine that sends electrical pulses to help control your bladder better.
StanmoreAges 18 years+ - NCT06514976Recruiting
Study of Cytoflavin for ischemic stroke without clot treatment
This study is testing a medicine called Cytoflavin for people who have had a recent ischemic stroke but are not receiving clot-busting treatment. It aims to see if Cytoflavin helps improve recovery compared to other treatments or no treatment.
IvanovoAges 18 years+ - NCT06514950Recruiting
Yoga breathing for heart and lung health after spinal cord injury
This study tests a gentle yoga breathing program using a smartphone app to help people with spinal cord injury improve how their heart and lungs work together. It might be a good fit if you use a wheelchair, have a compatible smartphone, and are otherwise healthy.
Cambridge, MassachusettsAges 18–60 - NCT06515132Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for consciousness after brain injury
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation can help people who have been minimally conscious for months after a brain injury. It aims to improve awareness and responsiveness by using mild electrical pulses.
