This study tests if whole-body cold therapy (standing in a very cold chamber) is safe and practical for people with chronic fatigue conditions. Participants will attend 10 sessions over 2 weeks.
This trial tests if carefully controlled cold or heat exposure can help lower symptoms of depression. It is open to people with or without depression to see how the body responds to changes in temperature.
This study tests whether controlled whole-body heat can change immune-related brain and body signals in people with major depressive disorder. It may help researchers understand why heat affects mood and who might benefit, while closely monitoring safety.
This study tests whether controlled whole-body heat, given along with standard cancer treatment, can help those therapies work better. It is designed for several specific advanced cancers in situations where care is focused on symptoms and tumor control.
