Can hard gum chewing change your facial appearance?
This study tests whether chewing a standardized hard gum for 4 weeks can produce measurable changes in facial soft tissue in healthy adults aged 20–40.
-
Computerized brain-training for older adults with thinking or memory problems after viral infection
This trial tests whether a six-week computerized brain-training program helps older adults who have lasting memory or thinking problems after COVID-19.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Stopping beta-blockers in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This pilot will try stopping beta-blockers for about 4 weeks in people with HFpEF to see if symptoms, walking distance, and heart function change.
-
Investigating Monocytes in Heart Attack and Stroke Patients
This study is trying to see how certain immune cells in the blood behave in heart attack and stroke patients to understand their role in healing and find possible signs of tissue damage.
-
Genetic analysis of Craniometaphyseal Dysplasia
This study is trying to find out the genetic reasons behind Craniometaphyseal Dysplasia by looking at blood and tissue samples from patients and their family members to help slow down the extra bone growth it causes.
-
Genetic and functional analysis of cherubism
This study is trying to find out what causes cherubism, a rare jaw bone disorder, by looking at blood and tissue samples from patients to help slow down the bone loss that comes with it.
-
Genetic analysis of congenital scalp defects
This study is trying to find out the genetic reasons behind Aplasia Cutis Congenita, a rare condition where babies are born without skin in certain areas, by looking at DNA from affected individuals and their families.
-
Genetic analysis of keloids
This study is trying to find out if certain genes play a role in how keloids form and grow, by looking at saliva samples and scar tissue from people with these scars.
-
Investigating blood proteins related to heart damage and failure
This study is testing if two proteins in the blood can help tell the difference between people who have a heart attack and go on to develop heart failure and those who don’t.
-
Investigating blood proteins related to heart failure
This study is trying to see if two specific proteins in the blood can help identify when people with heart failure are having a worsening episode.
