Home exercise after COPD flare-up: the COPDtoParis project
This trial tests whether a long-term home exercise program helps people with COPD recover better after a hospital stay for a flare-up. You would exercise at home and may join rehabilitation to improve your breathing and daily life.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT03916809Recruiting
Voice and swallowing therapy device during head and neck cancer treatment
This trial tests whether using a mouth-based training device (called EMST150) during planned radiation (with or without chemotherapy) can help people with head and neck cancer with swallowing and related muscle function. It may be useful if you’re starting radiation for a cancer in the mouth, throat, or voice box area.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04083417RecruitingPhase 4
Sore throat study comparing antibiotics versus no antibiotics
This trial looks at whether phenoxymethylpenicillin (an antibiotic) helps people with a certain type of sore throat more than not using antibiotics. You may qualify if your symptoms match a likely bacterial cause and a rapid test for strep is negative.
JönköpingAges 15 years+ - NCT05833217Recruiting
Study for persistent COVID symptoms with insulin resistance
This trial studies people who have ongoing effects after COVID (often called PASC) and may be related to weight and insulin resistance. It may help researchers find better ways to understand the condition and improve treatment.
