Rozanolixizumab for Generalized Myasthenia Gravis in Chinese Adults
This study tests an investigational drug called rozanolixizumab for Chinese adults with generalized myasthenia gravis who have a specific antibody (AChR or MuSK) and symptoms that still affect daily activities. It aims to see if the drug helps improve muscle strength and quality of life.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07246577Recruiting
Improving diagnosis and monitoring in giant cell arteritis
This study uses ultrasound, a biopsy of the temple artery, and blood tests to improve how giant cell arteritis (GCA) is diagnosed, monitored, and predicted. It may help doctors find better ways to manage this condition.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07246993Recruiting
Brain training for ongoing symptoms after concussion
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people with persistent memory or thinking problems after a mild concussion. You will use a smartphone app and may receive active or placebo stimulation over several sessions.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT07247552Recruiting
Personalized rTMS for chronic pain
This study tests if personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce chronic pain. It aims to find out if targeting specific brain areas based on your pain patterns works better than standard treatment.
GistrupAges 18–80 - NCT07247669Recruiting
AI phone triage for emergencies
This study tests if artificial intelligence can help identify time-sensitive emergencies like stroke, heart attack, or trouble breathing from recorded phone calls. The goal is to make emergency response faster and more accurate.
