How Electrical Stimulation Affects Your Vision
This study watches how a treatment called transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES)—which uses gentle electrical pulses on your eye—affects your vision in the short term. You'll be observed while using the OkuStim device, and researchers will ask about any improvements you notice in your sight.
Frankfurt am MainAges 18 years+ - NCT07549048Recruiting
Understanding caregiver stress in multiple sclerosis
This study asks patients with MS and their family caregivers about the emotional and physical strain of caregiving. By understanding caregiver burden, researchers hope to develop better support systems for families managing MS.
Istanbul, BahcelievlerAges 18–80 - NCT07550348Recruiting
Pain Relief Comparison for Lower Leg Surgery Nerve Block
This study compares two common numbing medications used together versus one alone for nerve-blocking surgery on the lower leg. Researchers want to see which approach works better and lasts longer for pain relief after your procedure.
ErzurumAges 18–65 - NCT07550270Recruiting
