Mild Intermittent Hypoxia for Spinal Cord Injury
This trial is testing whether low oxygen exposure can help people with spinal cord injuries who have trouble controlling their blood pressure and breathing during sleep. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve their health and make daily activities easier for them.
Autoimmune Investigation for POTS
This trial is studying whether certain immune proteins are causing or worsening symptoms in people with POTS, a condition that makes it hard for them to stand without feeling dizzy or faint. The researchers will study people with POTS to see if these proteins are more common in those with the condition and if these levels vary.
Behavioural Intervention
Backward vs Forward Walking Training for Multiple Sclerosis
This trial will test if practicing walking backward can help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) improve their balance and reduce their risk of falling. People with MS often have trouble with mobility and thinking, leading to frequent falls. Current methods like forward walking exercises haven't been very effective. The study will compare backward walking to forward walking to see which is better for improving motor function and preventing falls.
Neurostimulation Device
VNS for Epilepsy
This trial is studying whether vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) for epilepsy affects bowel habits and the gut microbiome. VNS is a neurosurgical procedure where an impulse generator is placed near the vagus nerve in the neck.
Not Applicable
Active CR for Stress, Anxiety, and Insomnia
This trial is testing a treatment called Cereset Research that uses sounds reflecting brain activity to help people aged 11 or older who have stress, anxiety, or insomnia. The sounds aim to balance the brain and improve automatic body functions.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Vagal Nerve Stimulation for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
This trial is testing two non-invasive treatments that stimulate the vagus nerve to help patients with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). These patients often have severe stomach problems and issues with body regulation. The treatments aim to improve the function of the vagus nerve, which could reduce their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) has been explored as a treatment for various conditions, including gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia, showing potential benefits in improving symptoms and gastric functions.
