New stent method to reduce brain fog after TIPS procedure
This trial tests a modified stent placement technique during TIPS (a procedure to lower blood pressure in the liver) to see if it helps prevent confusion and memory problems that can happen afterward.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07349706Recruiting
Breathing exercise for dementia risk reduction
This trial tests a simple breathing exercise done for about 5–10 minutes each day for 8 weeks. It aims to see if this exercise can reduce your risk of dementia. If you are between 60 and 80 years old and have at least one risk factor for dementia, this study may be a fit for you.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 60–80 - NCT07349901Recruiting
Predicting hospital readmission after surgery using smart devices
This trial uses a smartwatch and smart ring to collect health data after elective surgery. The goal is to see if these sensors can help predict who might need to return to the hospital, so doctors can provide better follow-up care.
Manaus, AmazonasAges 18 years+ - NCT07350330Recruiting
Muscle transplant vs Y-split for large exotropia
This study compares two surgical methods to treat large-angle outward eye turning (exotropia) in patients over 6 years old. The surgery aims to correct eye alignment, and the trial helps find which technique works best.
CairoAges 6 years+ - NCT07350564Recruiting
Comparing tight vs. usual blood pressure control after stroke clot removal
This trial tests whether keeping blood pressure very tightly controlled after a stroke clot removal (thrombectomy) is better than standard care. It may help people who have had an acute stroke from a large brain artery blockage and still have high blood pressure after the procedure.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07351006Recruiting
Exercise for menopause symptoms
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help relieve menopausal symptoms without using medication. If you are 45-55 and bothered by symptoms like hot flashes, poor sleep, or mood swings, you may be able to join.
KalmarAges 45–55 - NCT07351032Recruiting
Learning walking movements in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how people with Parkinson's learn and transfer walking movements from one task to another. You will walk on a special treadmill to help researchers understand how your brain adapts, which could lead to better rehab strategies.
Montreal, QuebecAges 50 years+ - NCT07351305Recruiting
PTSD treatment for veterans and service members with a brain injury
This study tests a non-trauma therapy for PTSD in veterans and service members who also have a mild or moderate brain injury. It aims to help with PTSD symptoms without focusing on the traumatic event itself.
Fort Hood, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07351877Recruiting
Vibration therapy for strength and movement in older adults and stroke survivors
This study tests if a precise vibration device can improve muscle function and mobility in older adults with frailty and stroke survivors. It may help reduce knee pain and enhance rehabilitation outcomes.
TaipeiAges 18–95 - NCT07351955Recruiting
New brain stimulation study for children with tic disorders
This trial tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method for children aged 5 to 18 with tic disorders who haven't been treated before. It aims to see if this new approach can help reduce tics safely.
