Comparing conventional treatment, single-target rTMS, or dual-target rTMS for the treatment of post-stroke cognitive impairment — clinical effects and neuroscientific insights: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
DiscussionIf dual-target rTMS in significant improvements in cognitive function, this method could be considered as a first-line clinical treatment for PSCI. This proposed study has the potential to identify a new, evidence-based intervention that can enhance cognition and independent living in patients with cognitive impairment after stroke.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial RegistryChiCTR2200066184.

Assisted ambulation to improve health outcomes for older medical inpatients (AMBULATE): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
DiscussionWhile functional decline in the hospital is multifactorial, ambulation is a modifiable factor for many patients. The AMBULATE study will be the largest randomized controlled trial to test the clinical effects of dedicating a single care team member to facilitating mobility for older hospitalized patients. It will also provide a useful estimation of cost implications to help hospital administrators assess the feasibility and utility of employing MTs.Trial registrationRegistered in the United States National Library of Medicine clinicaltrials.gov (# NCT05725928).

The impact of a blend of Pistacia atlantica seed and canola oil compared with a blend of corn-canola oil with synthetic antioxidant and corn-canola oil without synthetic antioxidant on oxidative stress markers in patients with metabolic syndrome: protocol for a triple-blind, randomized, three-way cross-over clinical trial
DiscussionPistacia atlantica seed oil is high in antioxidants. An intervention with this oil could offer an option for oxidative stress prevention among patients with metabolic syndrome. The present clinical trial will be the first one assessing the impact ofPistacia atlantica oil on human oxidative stress markers.Trial registrationIranian Registry of Clinical trialsIRCT20130223012571N8.
