Cranberry and Gut Health in Crohn's Disease
Testing whether a cranberry supplement helps gut health in people with Crohn’s disease
📍 UMASS medical center · Worcester, MA · Get directions →
This study is investigating whether a cranberry-based dietary supplement, rich in polyphenols and fiber, can enhance gut health in individuals with Crohn's disease. People with Crohn's disease often have an imbalance in their gut microbiome (the community of bacteria in the gut).
- Migraine / chronic headache
Mechanistic Studies of Psilocybin in Headache Disorders
Testing how psilocybin may affect migraine headache symptoms
📍 VA Connecticut Healthcare System · West Haven, CT · Get directions →
In previous clinical trial work, the investigators observed lasting reductions in headache burden after limited dosing of psilocybin. This purpose of this study is to examine potential sources for this observed effect.
- Parkinson's disease

Studying how a brain imaging tracer binds in early Parkinson’s over 24 months
📍 UAB · Birmingham, AL · Get directions →
The overall goal of this protocol is to investigate \[18F\]DPA-714 binding in prodromal and early manifest Parkinson's Disease (PD) and to determine the baseline and change from baseline in \[18F\]DPA-714 binding in PD participants during a 24-month interval. Primary Objectives * To compare \[18F\]DPA-714 binding in prodromal and manifest PD and healthy volunteers.
- Crohn's / ulcerative colitis (IBD)
68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT for Assessing Small Bowel Fibrostenosis in Crohn's Disease
Testing a scan to see early scarring in the small bowel in Crohn’s
📍 Mayo Clinic · Rochester, MN · Get directions →
This study is a prospective, case-control study evaluating whether the PET radiotracer 68Ga-FAPI-46 can detect fibrostenosing Crohn's disease in the small bowel. The goal is to determine whether areas of early or developing fibrosis ("pre-stricture" changes) demonstrate uptake of the tracer, which binds to fibroblast activation protein (FAP).
