Autonomic nervous system changes in children with type 1 diabetes
This study looks at how the autonomic nervous system (which controls automatic functions like heart rate) works in children with type 1 diabetes compared to children without diabetes. It may help understand if diabetes affects these automatic functions.
Saint-EtienneAges 1–17 - NCT07456020Recruiting
Measuring awareness after brain injury in the ICU
This study checks how awake and aware you are using two standard checklists (CRS-R and SECONDs). It's for people with recent brain injuries in intensive care who are still very dependent.
