This early-stage trial tests a new treatment called MTS109 for autoimmune diseases (like lupus, muscle inflammation, scleroderma, vasculitis, or Sjögren's syndrome) that haven't responded well to standard medications. The goal is to see if MTS109 can help control disease that keeps flaring or getting worse despite current treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07526493RecruitingPhase 1
QH103 Cell Therapy for Resistant Autoimmune Nerve and Brain Diseases
This Phase 1 trial tests whether QH103 cell injections can help patients with serious autoimmune diseases affecting nerves and the brain (like MS, NMOSD, myasthenia gravis, and others) that haven't responded well to standard treatments. The goal is to evaluate safety and whether the treatment helps reduce symptoms.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07526740Recruiting
Brain Stimulation and Training for Mild Memory Loss
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with cognitive training games can help people with mild cognitive impairment—early memory and thinking problems. The goal is to see if this combination improves thinking abilities and slows cognitive decline.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 60–85 - NCT07527663Recruiting
GyroStim therapy for persistent symptoms after concussion
This study tests whether GyroStim—a specialized rotating chair therapy—can help reduce dizziness, balance problems, and thinking difficulties that last more than 4 weeks after a head injury. GyroStim is designed to retrain how your brain and inner ear work together.
Appleton, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07527780Recruiting
Sound Sensitivity Study in Active Teachers
This study explores how common sound sensitivity issues are among teachers. Researchers want to understand if certain sounds bother teachers more than others, and whether this affects their work or well-being.
ÇorumAges 22–45 - NCT07528014Recruiting
Tracking Depression Treatment Outcomes Over Time
This study follows adults receiving depression treatment (esketamine, TMS, or SAINT) to understand how these therapies work and their effects over time. Researchers will assess mood, functioning, and other factors to help improve future treatment.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07528300Recruiting
Acupuncture for pain relief in muscle injury patients
This study tests whether a type of acupuncture called "battlefield acupuncture" can help reduce pain in people hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis—a serious muscle injury that causes muscle breakdown and pain. Researchers want to see if this treatment helps patients feel better while they're in the hospital.
TAMC, HawaiiAges 18–99 - NCT07528365Recruiting
Urea Treatment for Low Sodium Levels From SIAD
This trial tests whether urea can help treat dangerously low sodium levels in patients with SIAD (a condition where the body retains too much water) who haven't responded to drinking less fluid. Urea is a naturally occurring substance that may help restore normal sodium balance.
Turin, Piedmont, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07529054Recruiting
Robot-Assisted Walking Training After Stroke
This trial tests whether a robotic device that helps guide your walking can improve mobility and function after a stroke. If you've had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have some difficulty walking, this training might help you regain strength and independence.
Gröbming, StyriaAges 18–80 - NCT07529197Recruiting
Study of Immunoadsorption Treatment for Post-Infectious ME/CFS
This study observes how a blood-cleaning treatment called immunoadsorption works in patients with ME/CFS (severe fatigue condition) who have specific immune markers. Researchers will track whether this treatment helps reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Supporting Language Development in Young Children of Parents in Recovery
This study helps parents or caregivers with a history of substance use support their young child's language development through weekly community groups and optional one-on-one sessions. The goal is to help children ages 1–3 learn more words and start combining words earlier.
Eugene, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT07530029Recruiting
Muscle loss in older patients with heart failure
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in older patients (80+) hospitalized for heart failure with preserved pumping function. It may help doctors better understand how to care for this specific group.
