Clinical trials

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether an evidence-based anti-inflammatory dietary intervention can reduce inflammation and improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels and is closely associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does an anti-inflammatory dietary intervention reduce levels of hs-CRP, a key marker of chronic inflammation, in patients with T2DM? Does the intervention improve dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores and glycemic outcomes, including fasting blood glucose and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose? Researchers will compare an anti-inflammatory diet intervention group to a standard diabetes dietary control group to determine whether the anti-inflammatory dietary pattern provides additional benefits beyond routine dietary management. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to either the anti-inflammatory diet group or the standard diabetes diet group Receive dietary guidance based on structured anti-inflammatory food recommendations or routine diabetes dietary advice Complete dietary assessments, including 24-hour dietary recalls to calculate dietary inflammatory index (DII) Provide blood samples to measure hs-CRP, fasting blood glucose, and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose at baseline and after 4 weeks Complete questionnaires on dietary adherence and quality of life Participate in a 4-week intervention period with follow-up assessments

The goal of this study is to learn if a classroom-based physical activity program can improve academic self-efficacy in university students. The main question it aims to answer is: Do students who take part in classroom-based physical activities have higher academic self-efficacy scores than students who do not? Researchers will compare students in classrooms that do the physical activity program to students in classrooms that continue their usual class routine (no extra activities). Participants will: If in the activity group: take part in one time per day, five times a week, a total of eight weeks during regular classes. If in the control group: attend classes as normal. Complete a questionnaire about their academic self-efficacy.

NSSI behavior is highly prevalent among adolescents, and its mechanisms are closely associated with attentional bias toward self-injury-related information and impulsivity, both of which may be related to reduced dlPFC activation levels. Introducing taVNS as a priming stimulus to pre-regulate brain state and optimize subsequent tACS treatment response provides a novel approach to addressing inconsistent intervention effects. Simultaneously, this facilitates a shift in the brain from passive stimulus reception to active state regulation, offering important theoretical foundations for developing more precise and efficient cross-modal neuromodulation therapies.This study aims to systematically validate the efficacy of a combined protocol using taVNS as a priming modality followed by tACS over the left dlPFC through a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The investigators hypothesize that: ① Compared to tACS intervention alone, this combined approach will not only demonstrate non-inferiority in overall therapeutic efficacy but, more importantly, significantly reduce inter-individual variability in treatment response to tACS. This would mitigate the issue of high clinical response heterogeneity and enhance the stability and predictability of treatment outcomes. ② Early behavioral biomarkers of intervention response are anticipated: Immediate improvements in attentional bias following a single combined intervention session will significantly predict reductions in the frequency and intensity of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) after a full course (14 sessions) of treatment. This suggests that early positive changes in cognitive function could serve as valid indicators predicting long-term clinical efficacy, offering a critical time window for implementing individualized treatment adjustments. ③ The study will elucidate the effects of the taVNS-primed combined tACS treatment on neuroimaging mechanisms in adolescents with NSSI.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a dual-target non-invasive brain stimulation technique called continuous Theta Burst Stimulation (cTBS) for treating Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). The researchers will use a neuronavigation system, which acts like a GPS for the brain, to guide the stimulation to two specific targets: the left auditory association cortex and the primary motor cortex (M1). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive active dual-target cTBS treatment, while the other will receive a sham (placebo) stimulation that feels similar but has no therapeutic effect. The treatment will be given three times a day for seven consecutive days. Before and after the treatment period, all participants will complete clinical questionnaires to measure their anxiety and undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans to help researchers understand how cTBS affects brain activity.

The pathological-omics and imaging-omics in this study are combined to construct an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can predict whether high-risk prostate cancer patients may have lymph node metastasis. The model determines whether the patient has lymph node metastasis based on the MRI results and the pathological section image information of the case combined with clinical data before radical resection of the prostate. This study is a multicenter, prospective clinical study to verify the model's ability to predict whether high-risk prostate cancer patients may have lymph node metastasis.

This study is a prospective, single-center, observational study of patients with newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Minimal residual disease (MRD) detection is used to investigate the actual efficacy responses of mHSPC patients with different gene mutation characteristics to treatment regimens. Factors influencing efficacy are further analyzed to provide a basis for the precise clinical diagnosis and treatment of mHSPC patients.

A placebo-controlled superiority design was used to evaluate the efficacy of 40 mg/ day of Crisugabalin capsules in the treatment of GAD.

This study is designed to determine whether neuronavigation-guided, personalized Intermittent Theta-Burst Stimulation (iTBS) can produce clinically benefits for patients with schizophrenia when delivered in real-world treatment settings. By situating the intervention within real-world treatment settings-without imposing restrictions on concurrent pharmacotherapy-this trial seeks to generate evidence that is both scientifically rigorous and clinically relevant. The main questions it seeks to address are: Does the personalized iTBS target TMS protocol improve clinical symptoms in patients with schizophrenia within real-world treatment settings? What neural circuit changes, as assessed by functional MRI, occur following TMS treatment? Participants will: Undergo personalized,personalized iTBS target treatment daily for 2 weeks. Complete baseline and post-treatment assessments, including clinical symptom scales (PANSS, HAMA, HAMD) and neuropsychological tests (MoCA, DST, VFT, Stroop Test, and AVLT). Have structural and resting-state functional MRI scans before and after treatment. Be monitored for any treatment-related adverse events.

This study will follow patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) combined with different treatments. Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men, and many patients in China are diagnosed at an advanced stage. While ADT alone has been the standard treatment, most patients eventually progress to castration-resistant disease. New medicines such as abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide, and chemotherapy like docetaxel have shown survival benefits when added to ADT. This study aims to observe how different ADT-based combinations work in real-world practice and whether genetic differences affect outcomes. About 396 patients will be enrolled and followed until disease progression or death. The results will help identify which treatments are most effective and guide more personalized care for men with advanced prostate cancer.

This clinical trial aims to determine whether beta-band transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can improve impulse inhibition in adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and to evaluate its safety. The primary questions it seeks to answer are: * Can beta-band tACS significantly reduce the frequency of self-injury and scores on impulsivity scales in adolescents with NSSI? * What discomfort or medical issues may participants experience during tACS intervention? Researchers will compare beta-band tACS with sham stimulation (a procedure that mimics the real stimulation without delivering effective current) to verify its efficacy. Participants will: * Receive two sessions of either tACS or sham stimulation daily, spaced 4 hours apart, for 7 consecutive days (14 sessions in total). * Undergo scale assessments, behavioral tasks, and eye-tracking tests before and after the intervention. * Record any self-injury episodes and adverse reactions, with continuous monitoring and psychological support provided by a professional team.

Previous studies have shown that there are alterations in the number and affinity of interferon receptors during interferon therapy and that such alterations recover to varying degrees some time after the end of treatment. It can be conjectured that the rest period of pulsed therapy facilitates the recovery of type I interferon receptors and thus the next round of IFN therapy compared to a continuous regimen of interferon.
