Comparing Two Biopsy Methods for Carpal Tunnel Amyloidosis
This study compares two small tissue samples taken during carpal tunnel surgery to see which method best detects a protein disease (transthyretin amyloidosis) that can affect nerves and the heart. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome and are having surgery, this research may help doctors diagnose related heart or nerve problems earlier.

Brain Protection Device During Aortic Valve Replacement
This trial tests a new device called CHORDS that protects your brain during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a minimally invasive procedure to fix a narrow aortic valve. The device works by blocking debris that might travel to your brain during the procedure.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07649876Recruiting
Virtual Reality to Reduce Anxiety in Critically Ill Patients
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset—which shows calming scenes like nature—can help reduce anxiety, agitation, and confusion in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if VR can help patients feel more comfortable during their recovery.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT07650188Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Help Aging Memory and Thinking
This study tests whether brain and sensory stimulation can help people with early memory loss or mild cognitive changes. Researchers will use non-invasive stimulation techniques to see if they improve thinking and daily function.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 45 years+ - NCT07651306Recruiting
Bone Loss After Stroke: New X-ray Detection Method
This study tests whether a new way of measuring X-rays can detect bone loss in the shoulder after a stroke. The research may help doctors identify patients at risk for fractures earlier.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07651319RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IL-2 and Semaglutide Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease
This study tests whether two drugs—IL-2 (an immune-boosting medication) and semaglutide (a diabetes drug that may help brain function)—can slow memory loss in people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers believe these drugs together might help reduce brain inflammation and protect memory.
Houston, TexasAges 50–86 - NCT07651514Recruiting
Magnesium and Melatonin for Better Sleep and Leg Cramps
This study tests whether taking daily magnesium and melatonin supplements can help improve sleep quality and reduce nighttime leg cramps in adults. You'll wear a special ring to track your sleep and use a smartphone app to log your experiences.
