The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce health risks and improve overall wellness.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 21–75 - NCT07624396Recruiting
Brain protein levels and heart-related strokes
This study looks at a brain protein called BDNF in people who've had a stroke caused by a clot from the heart. Researchers want to understand if BDNF levels can help explain why some strokes happen this way and may help doctors prevent future strokes.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07625241Recruiting
Brain and Movement Training for Mild-to-Moderate Dementia
This study tests two types of training—cognitive (brain) and movement exercises—for people with mild-to-moderate dementia. The goal is to see if these activities together can help improve thinking, memory, and physical function.
Genova, GenovaAges 65 years+ - NCT07628374Recruiting
Balance training after stroke: sensorimotor vs dual-task
This study tests two different ways to help people recover balance and walking ability after stroke. You'll do either sensorimotor training (exercises focused on body awareness and coordination) or dual-task training (exercises that combine physical movements with mental tasks), and researchers will measure which approach works better.
Rajanpur, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07625020Recruiting
Nerve Hydrodissection for Diabetic Nerve Entrapment Pain
This trial tests a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedure that uses fluid injection to free trapped nerves in the lower legs of people with diabetes. The goal is to relieve pain, numbness, and weakness when standard medications haven't worked well enough.
