Traditional Chinese medicine for organ failure in ICU
This trial is studying whether adding traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to standard care can help patients in the surgical ICU recover from organ failure. It looks at how TCM might support your body's organs during critical illness.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT06453018Recruiting
Sleep position therapy for children with sleep apnea
This trial tests if changing sleep position (like avoiding sleeping on the back) can improve sleep apnea in children aged 6 to 17. It may be an option if your child has moderate to severe sleep apnea that gets worse when lying on their back.
Hong KongAges 6–17 - NCT06454006Recruiting
Light therapy for patients on breathing machines
This study tests a light therapy (called PBMT-sMF) on people in the ICU who need a breathing machine. It aims to see if the treatment helps muscles and recovery.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 21 years+ - NCT06454838Recruiting
Exercise and blood vessel health in children with pulmonary hypertension
This study looks at how exercise affects the lungs, blood vessels, and oxygen use in children with pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It compares them to healthy children to understand how the condition impacts the body.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 6–18 - NCT06455917RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a personalized treatment using your own immune cells (called TILs) to fight advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has progressed after standard therapy. You would have surgery to collect a tumor sample, then receive your expanded immune cells back as an infusion.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06456255RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Numbing injection study for first-time sinus surgery
This study tests a numbing medication (bupivacaine with epinephrine) injected during your first sinus surgery to see if it helps reduce pain after the procedure. It may be an option if you have not had sinus surgery before and are generally healthy.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06456450Recruiting
Taiwan severe asthma biologic registry study
This study is creating a registry to track the long-term safety and effectiveness of biologic treatments for severe asthma in Taiwan. If you are taking a biologic like omalizumab, mepolizumab, or benralizumab, joining this registry helps doctors learn how well these medicines work over time.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT06456502Recruiting
Non-invasive brain stimulation for long COVID symptoms
This trial tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation device can help relieve long COVID symptoms. It involves wearing special gloves and socks that deliver mild electrical pulses to improve how you feel.

Focused radiation vs whole brain radiation for up to 10 lung cancer brain spots
This trial compares two types of radiation for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain (10 or fewer spots). One approach uses focused radiation only on the tumors, the other treats the whole brain while trying to protect memory. The goal is to see which works better with fewer side effects.
