This is a single-center single-arm study. The main purpose of this study is to study the efficacy of surgical treatment for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (FIGO IB3, IIA2-IVA) who still have residual tumor after concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

The mechanism of action of cidabenamide and the advantages of vincristine metronomic chemotherapy make it possible to combine the two drugs. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a prospective study to investigate the value of chidamide in combination with vincristine metronomic treatment for triple-negative breast cancer.

This is a randomized, double-masked study to evaluate the tolerability and safety of IRX-101 versus 5% povidone-iodine (PI) in subjects receiving intravitreal anti-VEGF injections. The study will be conducted in up to 15 centers in the United States (US).

This is an investigator-initiated, single-arm, single-center, prospective clinical study with an estimated 58 patients enrolled to explore the efficacy and safety of anrotinib hydrochloride in combination with doxorubicin and radiotherapy in patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma.

With the increasing improvement of living standard, more and more people are concerned about the body height of their children. It has been reported that 542 out of 1000 children (54.2%) failed to meet the standards of height. Moreover, nearly 80% was disappointed with the height of their children. The body height of child is mainly influenced by 60% of genetic factors (6 out of 10) and 40% of acquired factors which includes nutrition, exercise, sleep, psychology, disease and so on. Therefore, it is an important way to solve the problem by regulating the acquired factors. At present, inject growth hormone (GH) for children is the main way to solve the problem of children's body weight. However, high price, complex operation skills, and side effects limits the implication of GH. Additionally, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine therapy, exercise therapy, and dietary supplement are of dubious benefit and without clinical support. Elevated insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels in the human body have been recognized as one of the core criteria for evaluating body enhancement therapy. Currently, there is no dietary supplement intervention to enhance the sensitivity of GH receptor and IGF-1 receptor. The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of dietary supplements on height improvement in children (aged 8-15 years of both genders). The main question it aims to answer is: Study the effect of dietary supplements (a formula based on enhancing the sensitivity of GH receptor and IGF-1 receptor) on height improvement in children by. Participants will be randomly divided into three groups: Placebo, Astragalus extract, and Wolfiporia extract. Participants in the Placebo will consume placebo (a look-alike substances that contains no active drug) at a dose of 500 mg, twice a day (morning and evening) for 6 months. Participants in the Astragalus extract will take dietary supplement with astragalus extract at a dose of 450 mg, twice a day for the same duration. Participants in the Wolfiporia extract will take dietary supplement with wolfiporia extract at a dose of 15 g, twice a day for the same duration. Taken blood sample at the timepoint of baseline (Day 0), intermediate point (Day 90), intervention end point (Day 180)) to detect biochemical markers, as well as body height and weight, and skeletal age. Throughout the trial, subjects were asked to keep their usual lifestyle, food, and physical exercise and not took any dietary supplements. Researchers will compare the effects of Placebo with Astragalus extract, placebo with Wolfiporia extract, and Astragalus extract with Wolfiporia extract to see if Astragalus extract and Wolfiporia extract increase children's height, and whether Astragalus extract or Wolfiporia extract is more works well.

The goal of this feasibility study is to test the effect of a new behavioral intervention, Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), as a possible new treatment for people living with migraine. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can EAET lower the frequency and severity of migraine attacks? What are the elements that can explain EAET's effect? Requirements from Participants: Participants will engage in 8 weekly online sessions via zoom (sessions are 2 hours long). Each session has a lecture, in-class exercises, discussion, and weekly assignments. Each participant is required to fill out questionnaires before the first session, after the last session of the treatment, and at a 3-month follow-up after treatment. Participants will benefit from a new and promising intervention that can significantly help with their migraines at no cost.

Taping is a non-invasive technique that has been used for various musculoskeletal conditions, including knee OA. However, there is limited research on the effects of combination taping techniques on disability, functional capacity, and knee isokinetic torque in patients with knee OA.

This is a single center, randomized clinical trial (RCT), recruiting 200 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who are currently receiving standard care treatment at the cardiology department of Landspítali University Hospital in Reykjavik, Iceland. The RCT will determine whether an interactive health app that supports lifestyle changes can positively impact disease progression and quality of life of CAD patients. Patients will be randomized to receive either the standard of care (SoC) alone or SoC with the addition of the digital app. The digital app will include remote patient monitoring and a patient support program specific for CAD patients. The investigators will study the impact of the digitally delivered lifestyle intervention and remote monitoring on disease progression and on the patients' quality of life.

This is a multicenter, prospective, cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apantamide+docetaxel+ADT versus apantamide+ADT in the treatment of patients with high tumor mHSPC.220 patients with high tumor mHSPC will be included and divided into two treatment groups according to the treatment plan:Treatment group 1: apantamide+docetaxel+ADT,Treatment group 2: apantamide+ADT treatment.The study continued treatment until the patient could not obtain clinical benefits or had intolerable toxic reactions or the patient withdrew the informed consent, whichever occurred first.

Action Observation Treatment (AOT) is a rehabilitative strategy which has been proposed as a promising approach to improve motor performance in neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS). In this clinical trial, the investigators aim to explore the role of a home-based AOT with virtual reality (VR) in improving upper limb motor function in people with MS (PwMS). The objectives are: To compare the effects of home-based VR-AOT versus VR-landscape observation (LO) on upper limb motor performance; To measure brain network functional changes (functional plasticity) and structural variations of gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) (structural plasticity) using advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques following VR-AOT and VR-LO; To study the correlations between MRI changes and clinical improvements and the predictors of VR-AOT efficacy. All participants will undergo treatment sessions for 3 weeks (5 consecutive days/week, total=15 sessions lasting 30 minutes each). Those in the VR-AOT group will observe, imagine and execute two upper limb motor tasks in each session. Those in the VR-LO group will perform the same tasks, but they will observe inanimate landscapes beforehand instead.
