• Bone health, muscle strength, and frailty in postmenopausal women of African descent with sickle cell trait

  We will see if postmenopausal women of African descent who have sickle cell trait are more likely to have thinner bones, weaker muscles, or greater frailty than women without the trait.

  Recruiting UConn Health · Farmington, Connecticut · NCT07083531

• Comparing two contrast agents for MRI of pituitary lesions

  This study is testing a new contrast agent called Gadopiclenol against a standard one, Gadobutrol, to see if it can safely provide good images of pituitary lesions during MRI scans while using a lower dose.

  Recruiting Phase 4 UConn Health · Farmington, Connecticut · NCT06846853

• New treatment options for hypothyroidism

  This study is testing a new combination of two thyroid medications to see if it can help people with hypothyroidism feel better.

  Recruiting Phase 2/3 UConn Health · Farmington, Connecticut · NCT06731764

• Examining the impact of different force levels on canine tooth movement in orthodontics

  This study tests if using lighter or heavier forces during orthodontic treatment helps move canine teeth more effectively in teenagers aged 11 to 16.

• Partnering with a peer to improve responses to brief health programs

  We will test whether doing a short motivational-interviewing program together with a peer changes brain activity and alcohol-related behaviors over a year in emerging adults.

  Recruiting UConn Health · Dallas, Texas · NCT06115252

• Effects of MitoQ on mobility and cognitive performance in frail older adults

  This study is testing if a supplement called MitoQ can help frail older adults aged 65-80 improve their walking and thinking abilities compared to a placebo.

  Recruiting Phase 2 UConn Health · Farmington, Connecticut · NCT06027554

• Effects of Depo-Medrol on Psoas Muscle After Lumbar Spine Surgery

  This study tests if giving a corticosteroid called Depo-Medrol to the psoas muscle after lumbar spine surgery can help reduce thigh pain and improve hip strength compared to patients who don’t receive the injection.
