Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07360392Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for knee replacement pain
This study compares two numbing techniques (nerve blocks) for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to find which one works better and helps you recover with less pain.
AmasyaAges 18–80 - NCT07360782Recruiting
Personalized nerve treatment for medication overuse headache
This trial tests a treatment called personalized pulsed radiofrequency, which uses gentle electrical pulses on a nerve at the back of your head to help reduce headaches caused by using too much pain medication. It is designed for people who have been diagnosed with Medication Overuse Headache and want a non-drug option.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07360899Recruiting
Closing the left atrial appendage during heart surgery to prevent stroke
This trial tests if closing the left atrial appendage with a special stitch during planned heart surgery can help prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation. If you already need heart surgery, this extra step may reduce your future stroke risk.
Kamenitz, VojvodinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07360977Recruiting
Broccoli supplement for Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis
This trial tests a natural compound (from broccoli sprouts) called glucoraphanin, which may help protect brain cells in people with Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis. It aims to see if taking this supplement can slow down or improve symptoms.
MessinaAges 1–75 - NCT07361094RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T therapy for autoimmune disease after prior treatment
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell therapy that targets two proteins (CD19 and BCMA) on immune cells. It is for people with certain autoimmune diseases (like lupus or scleroderma) that have not responded well to standard treatments or have relapsed after prior cell therapy.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT07361328Recruiting
Ultrasound brain stimulation for fibromyalgia
This trial tests if a gentle ultrasound treatment aimed at the brain can reduce chronic pain in people with fibromyalgia. It may help those who haven't found relief from standard medications or physical therapy.
