Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT06215495Recruiting
New radiation target method for high-grade glioma
This study is testing a new way to target radiation for people with high-grade gliomas (aggressive brain tumors). The goal is to see if a more precise treatment plan can improve outcomes while keeping side effects low.
GuangzhouAges 18–65 - NCT05677152RecruitingPhase 2
Anti-bone-drug test to help shoulder tendon healing after surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether an anti-osteoporosis medicine (zoledronic acid) can improve healing after surgery for a chronic rotator cuff tear in the shoulder. If you qualify, you would also follow a specific 4-week physical therapy plan using a shoulder support pad.
ViennaAges 50–70 - NCT06321653Recruiting
Lymphedema after radiation for early breast cancer with 1-2 positive nodes
This trial aims to see if a shorter course of radiation after breast-conserving surgery affects arm swelling (lymphedema) in people with early breast cancer that has spread to 1 or 2 nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to learn if this approach is safe and effective.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05706194Recruiting
Early brain prognosis test after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial studies how to predict brain recovery early after a non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The goal is to help clinicians estimate outcome sooner, which may improve decision-making during intensive care.
HelsinkiAges 18–100 - NCT06270667Recruiting
Exercise training for lymphoma survivors
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve heart health in people who finished treatment for Hodgkin or aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma 2–5 years ago. The goal is to see if regular exercise helps your heart recover better after chemotherapy or chest radiation.
OsloAges 20–70 - NCT06324682Recruiting
Comparing heart pacemaker types for better treatment
This trial looks at different ways to pace the heart (like left, right, or both sides) to see which works best for people who need a pacemaker. If you have a heart condition requiring a pacemaker, this study may help find the safest and most effective option for you.
Ferrara, FEAges 18 years+ - NCT05389410Recruiting
PICO dressings compared during repeat hip or knee surgery
This study compares two types of wound dressings (PICO 7 vs PICO 14) in people having a repeat (revision) hip or knee operation. It aims to see which dressing works better to help the surgical wound heal after surgery.
Oswestry, ShropshireAges 18 years+ - NCT04945213RecruitingPhase 3
Biperiden to prevent seizures after traumatic brain injury
This trial tests whether biperiden can lower the chance of developing epilepsy after an acute traumatic brain injury (with bleeding or bruising seen on CT). If you qualify, you would get the medicine or a placebo soon after the injury, and researchers will compare outcomes.
Fortaleza, CearáAges 18–75 - NCT06340516Recruiting
Looking at a blood test to track heart health during HER2 breast cancer treatment
This trial is checking if a simple blood test (NT-proBNP) can help spot early signs of heart side effects from certain breast cancer treatments (chemotherapy plus HER2 blockers). If successful, it might help doctors adjust treatment sooner to protect your heart.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06000592Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to stabilize blood pressure after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a non-invasive device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help people with a recent spinal cord injury keep their blood pressure steady. It's designed for those who experience low blood pressure when sitting or standing, which can cause dizziness or fainting.
