NeVa VS for cerebral vasospasm after brain bleed
This trial is for people who have had a brain bleed from a burst aneurysm and then developed tightening of the brain's blood vessels (vasospasm). It studies how well the NeVa VS device works to open up those narrowed vessels.
Burbank, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT06893874Recruiting
Comparing migraine preventives chosen by a computer
This trial tests whether a computer algorithm can help pick the best migraine prevention medicine for you. You'll try one of several common preventives and track your headaches.
TrondheimAges 18–99 - NCT06893926Recruiting
Cord blood S100B protein in growth-restricted newborns
This study measures a protein called S100B in umbilical cord blood to learn more about brain development in newborns with fetal growth restriction (FGR), a condition where a baby is smaller than expected. Understanding this protein could help doctors identify babies who may need extra support after birth.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT06894238Recruiting
Can brain waves predict confusion after brain surgery?
This trial uses an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a non-invasive way to measure your brain's electrical activity, to see if it can help predict confusion or delirium after planned brain surgery. The goal is to find out if brain wave patterns can warn doctors early, which might lead to better care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06894290Recruiting
International heart disease registry for amyloidosis
This study collects information from people with a specific type of heart disease called cardiac amyloidosis (AL or ATTR type). By joining a registry, you help doctors learn more about these conditions and how to better treat them.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT06894303Recruiting
Remote programming for cochlear implants in routine follow-up
This study tests if cochlear implants can be adjusted remotely (without visiting the clinic) during regular follow-ups. If you have a compatible implant and sound processor, you may be able to take part from home.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06894433Recruiting
Surgery for large brain bleeds
This trial tests a type of keyhole surgery called neuroendoscopic surgery to remove large blood clots in the brain. It may help people who have had a serious brain bleed and need urgent surgery.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06894602Recruiting
Can Ultrasound Predict Relapse in Giant Cell Arteritis?
This study uses an ultrasound of the temporal artery (a vessel in your temple) to see if certain findings can predict whether giant cell arteritis will come back. It may help doctors know who needs closer monitoring.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06895395Recruiting
Speech therapy for kids with cleft palate
This study compares different types of speech therapy for children born with a cleft palate who have developed certain speech errors. The goal is to learn which therapy works best from the perspective of the child, their family, and the speech therapist.
