Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07669246Recruiting
How stroke affects body awareness
This study looks at how a stroke changes your ability to feel and understand signals from your own body, like hunger or heartbeat. Researchers want to learn more about this so they can help with recovery.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07670286Recruiting
Spotting early warning signs of pancreatic cancer wasting
This study checks if advanced computer analysis of your tumor and body can predict severe weight loss and muscle wasting (cachexia) from pancreatic cancer. If you join, you may help doctors find earlier warning signs to improve treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07671703Recruiting
Physiotherapy for migraine relief
This trial tests whether a combination of physical therapy techniques can reduce migraine symptoms. It may help people whose migraines are not caused by other conditions.
Osnabrück, Low SaxonyAges 18–70 - NCT07670728Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two types of leg exercises for stroke patients with knee hyperextension
This trial tests whether open-chain (moving one part freely) or closed-chain (keeping foot on ground) exercises better improve knee hyperextension in stroke survivors. It may help you if you have leg weakness and walk with your knee locked back.
Karachi, SindhAges 7 months–1.2 years - NCT07670195RecruitingPhase 2
