Light therapy and blood-flow restriction for stroke recovery
This study tests whether combining light therapy with blood-flow restriction exercise (a technique that limits blood flow during gentle movement) helps improve arm strength and reduce muscle stiffness in people recovering from stroke. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.

This study tests a new exercise program combining arm cycling with electrical stimulation of leg muscles for people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to improve your overall health and fitness.
Hattiesburg, MississippiAges 21–70 - NCT07649135Recruiting
Remote Step-Counting Program for Stroke Recovery
This study tests whether a remote (at-home) program that tracks your daily steps and includes support from someone you know can help you become more physically active after a stroke. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical and if it helps people who had a stroke 6+ months ago move more.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07654634Enrolling by invitation

This trial tests personalized blood thinner treatment for people who need long-term anticoagulation for conditions like atrial fibrillation or blood clots. The goal is to find the safest and most effective dose for each patient.
Changsha, HunanAges 8 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 - NCT07652710Enrolling by invitation
