Landiolol to prevent fast heart rate during major surgery
This trial tests a short-acting medicine called landiolol to see if it can prevent dangerously fast heart rates during and after major surgery. It is for people who have heart risks and are having a planned non-cardiac surgery.
BernAges 45 years+ - NCT07168850Recruiting
Focused Ultrasound for Dystonia of Arms or Legs
This study tests whether focused ultrasound, a noninvasive treatment that uses sound waves to target a small area in the brain, can improve limb dystonia that has not been helped by medications or Botox injections. It is a possible option for people whose dystonia affects their arms or legs and who are looking for another treatment without surgery.

- What does “Brain & nervous system” cover here?
- Conditions of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves — including stroke, dementia, and movement disorders. We group each study into brain & nervous system based on the conditions it studies, so you can scan the whole therapeutic area at once and drill into a specific condition.
- How do I find a brain & nervous system trial near me?
- Use the search to filter brain & nervous system studies by location and eligibility. Every Clin2 trial page explains the criteria in plain English and offers a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read — the study team makes the final decision.
