This trial tests a precise type of radiation therapy given after spine surgery to treat cancer that has spread to the spine. The goal is to reduce pressure on the spinal cord and help control the disease with fewer side effects.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07802639Recruiting
Botulinum toxin injections for uneven lower lip in children
This study tests a weekly injection of botulinum toxin type A (a muscle-relaxing medication, like Botox) to see if it can improve the appearance and movement of an uneven lower lip in children with craniofacial microsomia. If successful, this treatment might reduce the visible asymmetry when smiling or baring teeth.
BeijingAges 5–18 - NCT07806487Enrolling by invitation
Eye-tracking to predict confusion after surgery
This study uses eye-tracking technology to see if it can predict post-operative delirium in older adults after surgery. You will have your eye movements measured before and after surgery to help identify early signs of delirium.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 70 years+ - NCT07806994Recruiting
Eye tracking and hand use in children with cerebral palsy
This study uses eye-tracking technology to see how children with cerebral palsy use their eyes and hands together during tasks that involve both hands. It may help improve understanding of motor control and guide future therapies.
Seoul, SeoulAges 6–12 - NCT07806422Recruiting
Virtual reality to prevent confusion in ICU
This trial tests if virtual reality can help prevent confusion (delirium) during an ICU stay. It uses relaxing activities to keep the mind clear, which may help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07805057Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation for small fiber neuropathy
This trial tests whether magnetic brain stimulation can reduce pain in people with small fiber neuropathy, a nerve condition that causes burning or shooting pain. If you have this condition, this treatment might offer a new way to ease your pain without major side effects.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07805278Recruiting
Pregnancy registry for spinal muscular atrophy
This study is a registry that collects information from families who had a pregnancy where the baby was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) before birth and received treatment during the pregnancy. The goal is to learn more about these cases to improve care and outcomes.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT07801092Recruiting
Sleep-promotion protocol to prevent delirium in intensive care patients
This trial tests a special sleep-promoting protocol (using eye masks, earplugs, and other measures) to help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in intensive care patients. If you or a loved one are in the ICU, this treatment might help reduce confusion and improve recovery.
Çanakkale, ÇanakkaleAges 18 years+ - NCT07807852Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for CRPS after wrist fracture
This trial tests whether sound wave therapy (ESWT) can reduce pain from a chronic pain condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) that started after a wrist fracture. It might help reduce pain and improve recovery.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07803276RecruitingPhase 4
Injecting botox for stiff muscles: hands or ultrasound?
This study compares two ways of giving Botox injections to reduce muscle stiffness in people with spastic paraplegia: one uses the doctor's hands to find the injection spot, and the other uses ultrasound to guide the needle. The goal is to see if ultrasound guidance improves the results.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT07806097Recruiting
Self-directed arm gaming during stroke rehab
This trial tests whether playing arm-focused video games on your own helps improve arm movement while you're in the hospital for stroke rehabilitation. You would play games that involve moving your arm and hand, and the goal is to see if this makes your recovery better.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07802353Recruiting
Focused radiation after brain tumor surgery
This study tests a type of radiation called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) given right after surgery to remove a brain tumor. The goal is to see if it helps control the tumor with fewer side effects.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07803016Recruiting
Drawing exercises vs fine motor training for hand recovery after stroke
This trial compares two types of hand exercises to see which one helps you regain hand movement and control better after a stroke. It focuses on people in the sub-acute phase (early recovery) who have some voluntary hand movement.
IslamabadAges 40–70 - NCT07803003Recruiting
Telerehabilitation for arm function after stroke
This study compares two levels of therapist-guided home exercises delivered via video calls to improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It may help you recover more movement in your affected arm.
