Red tape for gamers with carpal tunnel symptoms
This study tests if red kinesiology tape can help reduce symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pain in the hands and wrists of esports players who play over 5 hours a week. If you have carpal tunnel-like symptoms, this trial might help you find a non-surgical option.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT06757569Recruiting
New PET scan for detecting amyloid plaques in the brain
This study tests a newer, shorter PET scan to see if it can detect amyloid plaques (sticky protein clumps linked to memory loss) as well as the standard scan. It may help diagnose cognitive problems with less time in the scanner.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06757764RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke from artery narrowing: testing combination of anti-platelet drugs
This trial tests whether a combination of two or three anti-platelet medicines (like aspirin, clopidogrel, or cilostazol) is safe and works better than one alone for people who had a stroke from a narrowed artery. The goal is to prevent another stroke.
Seoul, Songpa-guAges 20 years+ - NCT06758271Recruiting
Long-term study of avacopan for vasculitis
This study looks at the long-term safety and effectiveness of avacopan in people with certain types of vasculitis (GPA or MPA). It may help doctors understand how well the medicine works over time.
Multiple LocationsAges Any age - NCT06758505Recruiting
Stroke recovery study: social activities after stroke
This study tests a rehabilitation program to help people who have had a stroke get back to the social activities they enjoyed before. If you have trouble joining in activities with family or friends, this program may help you reconnect.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06758609Recruiting
Brain cooling plus clot removal for large artery stroke
This trial tests a new treatment that combines cooling the brain with a catheter and removing the clot to restore blood flow — for people who have had a major stroke in the front part of the brain within the last 24 hours.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT06758648Recruiting
Eye blood vessels in Fabry disease
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in the eyes of people with Fabry disease using a special camera. It may help doctors understand how the disease affects the eyes over time.
München, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06759116Recruiting
Comparing two pain medicines for knee surgery recovery
This trial tests whether adding fentanyl or dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) provides better pain relief after knee surgery. It may help find the best option for patients undergoing knee procedures like total knee replacement or ACL repair.
El SharkiaAges 21–85 - NCT06759428Recruiting
Chronic subdural hematoma patient registry study
This study collects information from patients diagnosed with chronic subdural hematoma (a type of bleeding on the brain) to better understand the condition and its treatment. By participating, you help doctors learn more about what helps patients recover.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06759753RecruitingPhase 2
Aleeto for acute ischemic stroke: a randomized trial
This trial tests a drug called Aleeto in people who have had an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) within the last 72 hours. It aims to see if Aleeto can improve recovery and reduce disability.
BeijingAges 30–80 - NCT06760546RecruitingPhase 3
Testing setmelanotide for weight gain after brain injury
This trial tests a daily injection called setmelanotide to see if it can help people who have gained weight due to a brain injury or condition affecting the hypothalamus. It may help reduce hunger and support weight loss.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 4 years+ - NCT06760910Recruiting
