Brain Stimulation to Help Movement After Brain Tumor Surgery
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 22–65 - NCT07530588Recruiting
Remote CT imaging for fast stroke treatment decisions
This study tests whether CT scans done remotely (by doctors at a distance) can help stroke patients receive clot-busting treatment faster. Stroke treatment works best when given quickly, and this approach aims to speed up diagnosis in areas far from major hospitals.

Community-Delivered Cognitive Stimulation for Dementia
This study tests whether trained family members can deliver cognitive stimulation therapy—activities designed to help with memory and thinking—to people with mild to moderate dementia at home. The goal is to make this helpful therapy more accessible in Hong Kong.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07531706Recruiting
How Babies' Brains Process Speech Sounds
This study measures how 7–8-month-old babies' brains respond to spoken language. Researchers want to understand early brain development and predict which babies might have language challenges later, especially those with a family history of language or learning difficulties.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 7 months–8 months - NCT07531732Recruiting
Self-Awareness and Social Thinking in Brain Diseases
This study explores how awareness of oneself and the ability to understand others' thoughts relates to two types of brain diseases: frontotemporal dementia (a disease affecting personality and behavior) and Alzheimer's disease. The research may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care.
ParisAges 50–80 - NCT07531836Recruiting
Exercise and wellness program before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a personalized exercise and wellness program before surgery helps older adults with breast cancer recover better and stay stronger. You would work with a team to prepare your body for surgery over several weeks.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 65 years+ - NCT07532070Recruiting
Exercise and Therapy for Chronic Pain and Sleep Problems
This study tests whether exercise, talk therapy for sleep problems, or both together can help people with long-term back, hip, or knee pain who also struggle with sleep. You'll attend video appointments and try one of these approaches for several weeks.
San Antonio, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT07532590Recruiting

Brain-Computer Interface for Arm Control in Paralysis
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) device designed to help people with severe arm paralysis—from conditions like ALS or stroke—regain some ability to control their arms. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into arm movements, potentially helping you perform daily activities.
