Steroid injection during stroke clot removal surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a steroid (methylprednisolone) directly into brain blood vessels after removing a stroke clot helps reduce brain swelling and improve recovery. You would be eligible if you had a large clot stroke in the front part of your brain that was successfully removed within the past 24 hours.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07517354Recruiting
Understanding Moyamoya Disease Risk in Families
This study investigates moyamoya disease, a rare condition where blood vessels in the brain narrow over time. Researchers want to identify genetic and early warning signs by studying people diagnosed with the disease, their blood relatives, and healthy volunteers.

Understanding Genes and Biology in Menière's Disease
This research study investigates the genetic and biological factors that cause Menière's disease—a condition affecting the inner ear that causes dizziness, hearing loss, and ear fullness. By studying these factors, researchers hope to better understand why some patients experience different symptoms and potentially improve future treatments.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07518290Recruiting
Home brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease movement symptoms
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (TTIS) that you can use at home with remote supervision. It aims to improve movement problems like stiffness, tremor, and slowness in people with mild-to-moderate Parkinson's disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40–80 - NCT07518576Recruiting
Testing New Language and Communication Assessment Tools
This study is developing and testing new scales to measure language and communication problems after stroke. If you've had a stroke affecting speech or understanding, this research could help doctors better assess and track your recovery.
Venice, VEAges 18–90 - NCT07519044RecruitingPhase 4
GM1 drug added to clot removal for acute stroke
This study tests whether adding a medicine called GM1 to emergency clot-removal surgery helps people recover better from sudden strokes caused by blood clots in major brain arteries. GM1 may protect brain cells from damage during and after the stroke.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07519096Recruiting
Home-Based Fall Prevention Program for Parkinson's Disease
This study tests a fall prevention program designed for people with Parkinson's disease and their care partners. It aims to help reduce falls and improve balance and safety at home.
Beachwood, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07519369Recruiting
Tracking Daily Movement in Children With Autism
This study uses wearable sensors (worn on the wrist and in special insoles) and one night of sleep monitoring to understand how children with autism move and sleep. The goal is to learn more about autism and potentially identify patterns that could help with diagnosis or care.
Roma, RMAges 2–18 - NCT07519629Recruiting
Teaching Parents to Help Spanish-Speaking Children With Language Delays
This study tests whether training caregivers (parents or guardians) to teach vocabulary at home helps young Spanish-speaking children who have language delays. The research focuses on children aged 4–6 who speak Spanish regularly.
Flagstaff, ArizonaAges 4–6 - NCT07519837Recruiting
Understanding Cancer Wasting in Digestive Cancers
This study explores why certain cancers cause patients to lose weight and muscle (called cancer cachexia) and tests ways to reverse it. Researchers will study tissue samples from patients with cancers of the food pipe, liver, stomach, or bile ducts to understand what's happening at a cellular level.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07519876Recruiting
Blood Clots in the Lungs and Heart Shunts Study
This study looks at whether people with blood clots in their lungs have hidden holes in their hearts that let blood bypass normal circulation. Researchers will use imaging tests to understand this connection and see if it affects how patients do.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07519928Recruiting
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Spinal Cord Injury Patients
This study tests whether pelvic floor muscle exercises—done while you're in inpatient rehabilitation—can help improve bladder control and urinary function after spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if this type of training is practical and helpful during your hospital stay.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT07520032Recruiting
Shockwave therapy for arm function after stroke
This trial tests whether a non-invasive shockwave treatment can help improve arm movement and strength in people who had their first stroke within the past 6 months. The goal is to see if this therapy reduces stiffness and helps patients regain better use of their arm.
Ajman, Ajman EmirateAges 18–65 - NCT07520656Recruiting
Heart Valve Surgery and Sleep Breathing Problems
This study looks at whether fixing heart valve problems with minimally invasive procedures (TAVI or MTEER) can improve sleep-related breathing issues. Researchers will monitor your sleep patterns before and after your scheduled heart valve procedure.

Testing Apixaban to Prevent Bleeding Complications in Cirrhosis
This study tests whether a blood thinner called apixaban can safely prevent dangerous bleeding in people with cirrhosis (liver scarring) who have portal hypertension (high blood pressure in veins leading to the liver). The goal is to see if it reduces bleeding risk without causing excessive bleeding.
Hyderābād, SindhAges 18 years+ - NCT07523425Recruiting
Virtual Reality Movement Training for Parkinson's Disease
