Treatment is often undertaken in teenagers, but the outcomes have lifelong consequences. Treatment options involve either creating space for a false tooth, or closing space and disguising the adjacent tooth as the missing tooth; both options have their own advantages, disadvantages and long-term considerations, and treatment often requires input from multiple dental specialties. Advances in orthodontic techniques mean more patients can be treated with either approach, therefore, the ideal treatment plan becomes more subjective and based upon the patient's preferences.\n\nAim: To develop a Patient Decision Aid (PDA), a decision-making support tool to help young people (and parents\u002Fguardians) with developmentally missing upper front teeth choose the best treatment option for them.\n\nApproach: First, the investigators will gather information from stakeholders involved in the decision-making process to understand their needs. Interviews will be conducted with young people with developmentally missing upper front teeth and their parents\u002Fguardians about their experiences, expectations, and preferences regarding treatment decision-making. Information will also be sought from clinicians involved in this process about their experiences of the decision-making process, via focus groups. These will be carried out across two NHS hospitals with special clinics for missing teeth. Then, the information obtained from both patient and clinician stakeholder groups will help the investigators to develop a PDA, following international guidelines. PDA development will occur alongside ongoing input and feedback from a Development Panel (which will include patients and clinician representatives) to optimise content, acceptability, and accessibility. The final approved PDA will then be trialled in a later pilot study.",[58,59,60],"Hypodontia","Decision Making ,Shared","Decision Aid","2026-06-15",{"date":63,"type":36},"2026-06-17",{"date":65,"type":22},"2026-08-01",{"date":67,"type":22},"2028-08-31",{"name":42,"class":43},{"id":70,"slug":71,"hasResults":12,"nctId":72,"briefTitle":73,"officialTitle":73,"acronym":74,"eligibilityCriteria":75,"healthyVolunteers":51,"sex":18,"minAge":19,"maxAge":76,"enrollmentInfo":77,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":79,"briefSummary":80,"conditions":81,"keywords":83,"overallStatus":89,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":61,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":90,"startDateStruct":92,"completionDateStruct":94,"leadSponsor":96,"locationsCount":97},"100641166","challenging-the-endocannabinoid-system-in-sleep-restricted-healthy-volunteers-to-modulate-physiological-arousal-canisleep-study-100641166","NCT07656350","Challenging the Endocannabinoid System in Sleep Restricted Healthy Volunteers to Modulate Physiological Arousal (CANISLEEP) Study","CANISLEEP","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

There is evidence that people with psychosis find talking therapies that teach skills for managing emotions helpful. People said it helped them to understand and manage their emotions. However, they also wanted more help to apply skills they learned to their lives.\n\nIt is hard to help people to use therapy skills in real-life situations. Therapists cannot be present when the skills are needed. One solution is to use virtual reality (VR) to bridge the gap between the clinic and real-life. VR involves using a headset to see and hear a very life-like computer-generated simulation of everyday life situations. People with psychosis find VR therapies engaging and helpful. It can feel safer to try things out in VR.\n\nGuided by the feedback of people with psychosis, this research will evaluate a novel therapy to help people with psychosis manage their emotions.

However, there are still no widely available, proven treatments for this condition and therefore several patients remain symptomatic.\n\nThis study aims to find better ways to treat CMD, especially by understanding how the heart uses energy and how this might relate to symptoms.",[328],"Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction (CMD)","2026-04-10",{"date":331,"type":36},"2026-04-16",{"date":333,"type":22},"2026-05",{"date":335,"type":22},"2031-05",{"name":42,"class":43},{"id":338,"slug":339,"hasResults":12,"nctId":340,"briefTitle":341,"officialTitle":341,"acronym":342,"eligibilityCriteria":343,"healthyVolunteers":51,"sex":18,"minAge":19,"maxAge":344,"enrollmentInfo":345,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":55,"phases":4,"briefSummary":347,"conditions":348,"keywords":349,"overallStatus":89,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":368,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":369,"startDateStruct":371,"completionDateStruct":373,"leadSponsor":375,"locationsCount":97},"100568934","immune-mechanisms-of-antipsychotic-treatment-response-100568934","NCT06687694","Immune Mechanisms of Antipsychotic Treatment Response","IMAT","Inclusion Criteria\n\nParticipants with psychosis symptoms:\n\n* Age 18-65\n* Currently experiencing psychosis symptoms warranting treatment by secondary care mental health services, as confirmed by a psychiatrist involved in their treatment.\n* Psychosis symptoms likely to be attributable to a disorder represented by ICD codes F20-F39, in the opinion of the treating clinical team.\n* Due to start or change to a new regular antipsychotic medication.

Six in seven patients do not recover from the illness in 6-12 months and continue to experience psychotic symptoms. Therefore, there is a strong unmet need for new evidence-based treatments to target the neurobiology underlying schizophrenia. There is increasing evidence to indicate that glutathione (GSH), the main brain antioxidant, is abnormal in schizophrenia and may provide a new treatment target. In this study, the investigators plan to determine whether Diroximel Fumarate (DRF) (currently a treatment for a brain disorder called multiple sclerosis) can increase GSH in the brain of patients with schizophrenia using a brain scan (MRI) and explore whether changes in GSH are related to other brain measures (measured with MRI and EEG- which measures electrical activity in the brain), blood markers of GSH, and symptoms.

Thinking fast or going on gut feelings is natural but can fuel these worries. For some, fast thinking and worries start to get in the way of life. Cognitive behaviour therapy for psychosis (CBTp) is the recommended talking therapy. However, only a minority of people can access CBTp due to limited resources, and even when available, therapy can be difficult to do and use in daily life.\n\nSloMo is a digitally supported therapy that aims to overcome these barriers, and was developed by people with psychosis, designers, and psychologists. It supports people to notice worries and fast thinking habits. During therapy sessions, people learn to slow down and feel safer. Personalised spinning thought bubbles are slowed down using SloMo tips. An app provides access to helpful messages.\n\nSloMo was previously tested in a randomised trial of 361 people attending mental health services. SloMo was found to be safe to use, with no adverse events linked to the software. People in the SloMo group had lower paranoia, and better confidence and wellbeing, over 6 months compared to people who just received their usual care. People found SloMo enjoyable and easy to use.\n\nThe next step is to evaluate if SloMo can be safely and effectively delivered by therapists working in NHS services. If SloMo works in routine care, the therapy will be made more widely available in the NHS.\n\nAn improved version of SloMo has been co-produced based on feedback. Sixty therapists will be trained and supervised in 3 trusts to deliver SloMo to 150 people who fear harm from others. Safety, technical performance, uptake, engagement and acceptability data, alongside interviews with patients, therapists, and managers, will investigate how SloMo is used.

While they are usually successful, some patients develop a condition called peri-implantitis, an infection that causes inflammation and bone loss around the implant. This can eventually lead to implant failure if not treated properly. Currently, non-surgical treatments are used to clean the area and reduce inflammation. However, these methods often fall short of fully resolving the issue, and many patients require further treatment or even surgery.\n\nA newer approach called MINST (Minimally-Invasive Non-Surgical Therapy) has shown promising results for treating gum disease around natural teeth. This method focuses on precision cleaning with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues, reducing pain and improving healing. While MINST works well for gum disease, its effectiveness for treating peri-implantitis has not yet been tested.\n\nPurpose of the Study:\n\nThis clinical trial will compare the effectiveness of MINST with the standard non-surgical treatment currently used for peri-implantitis.\n\nThe aim is to determine whether MINST can better treat the disease, improve healing, and reduce discomfort for patients.\n\nHypotheses:\n\nAlternate Hypothesis (What we expect to find): MINST will result in better outcomes, specifically, fewer deep pockets around the implant, less bleeding, and fewer signs of infection, compared to the standard treatment.\n\nNull Hypothesis: There will be no significant difference between the outcomes of the two treatment approaches.\n\nStudy Design:\n\nType of Study: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving 106 patients. Duration: Patients will be followed for 12 months after treatment. Locations: Multiple dental centers participating in the trial. Method: Half of the participants will receive MINST; the other half will receive the standard treatment. Neither patients nor outcome assessors will know which treatment was used (single-masked). What Will Be Measured? Primary Goal: To see how many patients show healing (defined as smaller pockets, little or no bleeding, and no pus) 12 months after treatment.\n\nSecondary Goals:\n\nPatient-reported outcomes, including pain levels and quality of life Changes in pocket depth and tissue attachment Bacterial changes Time taken for treatment appointments Why Is This Important? If MINST proves to be more effective and comfortable for patients, it could change how peri-implantitis is managed in the future- potentially reducing the need for surgery, improving patient experience, and helping more people keep their dental implants for longer.",[640],"Peri Implantitis",[642],"peri implantitis","2026-01-19",{"date":600,"type":36},{"date":646,"type":22},"2026-02-01",{"date":648,"type":22},"2028-02-07",{"name":42,"class":43},{"id":651,"slug":652,"hasResults":12,"nctId":653,"briefTitle":654,"officialTitle":654,"acronym":655,"eligibilityCriteria":656,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":18,"minAge":19,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":657,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":659,"briefSummary":660,"conditions":661,"keywords":664,"overallStatus":32,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":643,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":675,"startDateStruct":677,"completionDateStruct":679,"leadSponsor":681,"locationsCount":4},"100620094","artificial-intelligence-based-virtual-reality-application-to-provide-data--driven-patient-centred-treatment-for-people-with-eating-disorders-100620094","NCT07353151","Artificial Intelligence-based, Virtual Reality Application to Provide Data- Driven, Patient-centred Treatment for People With Eating Disorders","OASIS","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults ≥18 years.\n* Anorexia nervosa receiving or awaiting treatment as usual (TAU) within South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (inpatient, day service, or outpatient).\n* Medically stable and clinically suitable to take part in brief VR sessions alongside TAU (as judged by the treating team).\n* Able to give informed consent.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Current or recent (within 12 months) serious self-harm with suicidal intent, or behaviour that posed a risk to life (e.g., overdose, deep cutting, swallowing sharp objects), or self-harm likely to cause lasting impairment.\n* Active suicidality or high risk of suicide.\n* Untreated or unstable epilepsy.\n* Psychotic disorder.\n* Outpatient participants with BMI \\\u003C 10.\n* Current participation in another research study or clinical trial.",{"count":658,"type":22},45,[25],"The goal of this clinical trial is to see if a short virtual reality (VR) program can be used safely and comfortably with people receiving care for anorexia nervosa.
