This trial tests a non-invasive treatment that combines a brain-computer interface with mild electrical stimulation to help people with one-sided facial paralysis regain movement. It aims to improve facial muscle function by retraining the brain and muscles together.
This trial tests a surgery called bilateral thoracoscopic sympathectomy to treat severe, unexplained sweating of the hands and face. It aims to see if the surgery improves quality of life and reduces sweating.
This trial tests a small device worn on your ear that sends gentle electrical signals to a nerve, aiming to reduce facial redness and flushing from rosacea. The device may help calm the inflammation that causes rosacea symptoms.
This registry tracks people who have had or plan to have a procedure that changes the nerves controlling heart rate, such as cardioneuroablation. It aims to better understand and treat conditions like inappropriate tachycardia, POTS, and fainting spells.
This study tests a procedure called sympathetic ablation, which targets the nerves that contribute to dangerous heart rhythms in people with implanted defibrillators. The goal is to reduce the number of shocks from your device and improve your quality of life.
This study compares two similar surgical procedures to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the hands and armpits. The procedures aim to stop the nerves that cause sweating, and the study looks at which one may cause less side effects.
