Comparing CT scan vs angiogram to confirm brain death
This trial compares two imaging methods—CT angiography and traditional angiogram—to see if one is better at confirming complete loss of brain function (brain death) in people with severe brain injury. It may help doctors diagnose brain death more accurately and quickly.

Can a nutritional supplement improve your sleep?
This trial tests a nutritional supplement to see if it can improve your sleep quality. You'll need to wear a smart ring and stop using other sleep aids for about 7 weeks.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 35–65 - NCT07345481Recruiting
Learning new connections in brain injury
This study tests whether people with an acquired brain injury can learn new connections between symbols and words using a computer-based learning method. The goal is to see if this approach can help with cognitive rehabilitation.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18–75 - NCT05289999Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain and anxiety during back injections
This trial tests whether using virtual reality can help reduce pain and anxiety during epidural injections for nerve-related back or leg pain. It is for adults who need these injections for the first time.
