New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06701474Recruiting
Knee replacement recovery: comparing body composition groups
This study looks at how well people recover after total knee replacement, comparing those with different body composition levels. The goal is to see if a measure called 'phase angle' affects recovery of strength and function.
Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 55 years+ - NCT06701851Recruiting
Brain study for movement disorder with PRRT2 gene change
This study uses brain scans to understand movement problems in people with a specific genetic change (PRRT2) that causes sudden, brief episodes of uncontrolled movements. It may help researchers find better ways to treat this condition.
ParisAges 18–75 - NCT06702124RecruitingPhase 3
Rotigotine patch with rivastigmine for mild to moderate Alzheimer's
This trial tests if adding a rotigotine patch to your usual rivastigmine treatment can help with symptoms of Alzheimer's. It is for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's who have been stable on rivastigmine for at least 3 months.
