Gait training for people with multiple sclerosis using treadmill exercises
This study tests a high-intensity treadmill walking program designed to improve walking stability for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help you build safer, more confident walking, but you must meet several health and ability requirements to take part.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–75 - NCT07842458Recruiting
Monitoring brain activity after traumatic brain injury
This trial monitors brain activity with special electrodes after a severe head injury. It aims to understand how the brain recovers by watching the electrical signals, which might help improve treatment for brain pressure.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07842835Recruiting
Biosample registry for primary CNS lymphoma
This study collects blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and tumor tissue samples over time from people with suspected or confirmed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) in China. The goal is to build a large biobank to better understand the disease and improve future diagnosis and treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT07845032Recruiting
Online coping skills for dementia caregivers
This study tests an online program that teaches skills to help you cope with the stress of caring for someone with dementia or memory loss. It aims to see if becoming more flexible in your thinking can reduce your distress.
Logan, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT07843095Recruiting
Protein supplement for muscle health during menstrual cycle
This study tests whether taking a protein supplement during the luteal phase of your menstrual cycle can help prevent muscle breakdown. It may help women who want to maintain muscle strength and understand how their cycle affects their body.
Conroe, TexasAges 18–35 - NCT07842926Recruiting
Radiofrequency heat therapy for leg stiffness in Parkinson's disease
This study tests a therapy called capacitive-resistive radiofrequency (a type of heat treatment) to see if it helps reduce stiffness in the legs of people with Parkinson's disease. You may receive this therapy during a session, and we will measure how it affects your movement and walking.
Zaragoza, ZaragozaAges 55–90 - NCT07847424Recruiting
