Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 2.7 years–4 years - NCT07447804Recruiting
Diaphragm and Breathing Strength in Hemiplegia Patients
This study looks at how hemiplegia affects the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and your breathing strength. It aims to help guide rehabilitation after a stroke.
Istanbul, AtaşehirAges 18–80 - NCT07447934Recruiting
Vibration therapy for leg muscle stiffness
This trial tests if gentle vibrations can reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) in the lower leg after a neurologic condition like stroke or brain injury. You may join if you've had spasticity for at least 6 months and can stand with or without help.
New York, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT07447999Recruiting
Using AI to predict sleep apnea severity
This trial tests whether a special computer model can predict sleep apnea severity using a stethoscope and a fingertip oxygen sensor, instead of a full sleep test. It might help people get faster and easier sleep apnea diagnosis.
