Romosozumab Versus Denosumab in GIOP: a 2-year Extension Study
The investigators conducted an open-label randomized controlled trial (RCT) in chronic glucocorticoid (GC) users with moderate/high risk of fracture to compare the efficacy and tolerability of romosozumab (ROMO) for 12 months followed by denosumab (DEN) for 12 more months vs DEN for 24 months throughout. Superiority of ROMO/DEN to DEN/DEN …
Dual-task Training to Prevent Cognitive Decline in Community-dwelling Older Adults: A Pilot Pragmatic RCT
Objectives This study aims to explore the feasibility and acceptance of group-based dual-task training for prevention of cognitive decline in a pragmatic setting for community-dwelling older adults. The primary objective is to assess recruitment rate, attendance rate, retention rate and satisfaction rate of participants. Study design and participants: This is …
Intermittent Theta-burst Stimulation for Mild Cognitive Impairment
The objectives of this study are to: Evaluating the Impact of iTBS on Cognitive and Physical Functions: The investigators will investigate the efficacy of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), focusing on its effects on dual-task walking abilities, balance abilities, and cognitive function. Comparing …
Mindfulness-Based Intervention for Caregivers of Frail Older Chinese Adults

Cumulative and Booster Effects of Multisession Prefrontal TDCS in ASD Adolescents
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by disturbances in communication, poor social skills, and aberrant behavior. To date, ASD has no known cure, and the disorder remains a highly disabling condition. Recently, transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, has shown great promise as a …
The Effect of Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation on Brain Characteristics, Pain Intensity, and Cognitive Functions in Older People with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effects of accelerated intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) on pain relief and cognitive function in older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain. It will also utilize magnetic resonance imaging to illustrate the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the role of iTBS in improving …
Intravenous Methadone for Sternotomy Pain Control in Cardiac Surgery
Background Postoperative pain is significant in cardiac surgical patients. Perioperative analgesia with intermittent administration of opioids can result in significant fluctuations in serum opioid concentrations. Methadone should provide a rapid onset and long-term pain relief upon a single intravenous dose at induction of anaesthesia, and may reduce chronic postsurgical pain …
Accelerated iTBS for Depression: Monitoring Brain Hemodynamics With Simultaneous iTBS/fNIRS
This study will investigate the cortical hemodynamic response variability of an accelerated form of TBS stimulation over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) using a concurrent TBS/fNIRS setup. The accelerating TMS protocol that will be used in this study is similar to the Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT), i.e., fifty …
Effects of Music on Acute Postoperative Pain Intensity and Mobility After Fragility Hip Fracture
Music has been proven to be beneficial in postoperative care by reducing pain. The effects of music listening to reduce pain postoperatively are well studied among cases undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery. No study has been conducted focusing on pain control among cases with fragility hip fractures in an acute ward …
