Individual Closed-Loop Neuromodulation Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease
Testing a brain stimulation approach to study memory and thinking in people with early
📍 Massachusetts General Hospital · Charlestown, MA · Get directions →
The project is a placebo-controlled study that aims to use closed-loop transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to study patients with symptoms of mild cognitive impairment which is likely due to Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia (AD-MCI). Patients will undergo an EEG and complete some questionnaires and computer tasks during each study visit.

📍 University of Texas · Austin, TX · Get directions →
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a personalized, multi-component, virtual speech language treatment program can improve communication and quality of life for adults with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and their primary communication partners. The study will enroll participants who speak English and/or Spanish.

SAD Study in Patients With Parkinson's Disease and Motor Fluctuations
Testing a single dose of SER-252 in people with Parkinson’s disease
📍 Rocky Mountain Clinical Research · Englewood, CO · +3 more US sites · Get directions →
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) study of SER-252 in participants with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and motor fluctuations.

PiMZ Longitudinal Cohort (PiMZ Logic)
Tracking how COPD affects people with the PiMZ form of alpha-1 anti-trypsin deficiency
📍 University of Alabama at Birmingham · Birmingham, AL · +4 more US sites · Get directions →
Alpha-1 Anti-trypsin Deficiency (AATD) is a genetic disease with lung and liver disease presentations. Presentations are variable in the heterozygous population, the most predominant genotype being PiMZ.

Effect of the Inhaled Triple Therapies Over the Small Airway in Biomass Exposure
Comparing inhaled triple versus double medicines for COPD lung airways after wood smoke exposure
📍 Insituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias "Ismael Cosío Villegas" · Mexico City, Tlalpan · Get directions →
This phase IV randomized controlled clinical trial intend to compare the effect of three close standard inhaled triple therapies and one close standard inhaled double therapy on the small airway in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD-B) and chronic bronchitis without obstruction (BCNO) exposed to wood smoke. The treatment phase duration is of 3 months.

Blood Pressure Effects on Cognition and Brain Blood Flow in PD
Testing how blood pressure in Parkinson’s affects thinking and brain blood flow
📍 University of California San Diego · San Diego, CA · Get directions →
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Besides causing symptoms that impair movement, PD also causes non-motor symptoms, such as problems thinking and orthostatic hypotension (OH), i.e., low blood pressure (BP) when standing.
- Migraine / chronic headache💵 May compensate
Real-world Prospective Study on the Use of Anti-CGRP Drugs in Migraine
Studying real-world results of migraine preventive medicines targeting CGRP
📍 University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine · Miami, FL · Get directions →
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate clinical differences in patients who received preventive treatment with medication targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or its receptor: monoclonal antibodies (erenumab, galcanezumab, fremanezumab, eptinezumab) or gepants (rimegepant, atogepant) during a 2-year period observation phase.

Routine vs On-demand ECMO for Lung Transplantation
Comparing routine versus on-demand ECMO during lung transplants for people with COPD
📍 Univeristy of Alberta & Alberta Health Services · Edmonton, Alberta · Get directions →
Lung transplantation is a complex procedure performed in patients with terminal lung disease. The transplant procedure stresses the patient's heart and lungs, which are already taxed by the underlying disease process.

Inter-lobar Fissure Completion in Patients With Failed Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction
Testing a lung procedure to reduce lung trapping in severe COPD
📍 Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center · Boston, MA · Get directions →
The purpose of this protocol is to perform a pilot prospective controlled clinical trial to evaluate the potential role of lung fissure completion with pleural adhesiolysis strategy (experimental intervention) in severe emphysema/COPD patients with failed bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) via the use of endobronchial valves (EBVs) therapy. In select patients, the lung fissure completion with adhesiolysis strategy will be performed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) guided stapling along the lung fissures to reduce collateral ventilation with adhesions removal and determine whether this experimental strategy will improve outcomes after failed BLVR in patients with severe emphysema/COPD.
