Plasma p-tau and other blood biomarkers for Alzheimer's pathology.
Focused ultrasound for tremor
MR-guided focused ultrasound for essential tremor and Parkinson's disease.
Key point: MRgFUS thalamotomy is safe, effective, and durable for refractory essential tremor; it appears safe and effective for Parkinson disease tremor, with uncertain durability.
CGRP-targeted migraine treatment
Gepants and anti-CGRP antibodies for migraine.
Tenecteplase in stroke
Tenecteplase as the thrombolytic for acute ischaemic stroke.
Key point: Intravenous tenecteplase before thrombectomy showed benefit in ASPECTS <8, but no functional improvement and possible safety concerns in ASPECTS 8-10.
Post-stroke dysphagia
Studies of swallowing disorders after stroke and their treatment, including neuromodulation.
Anti-amyloid antibodies
Lecanemab, donanemab and related antibodies for early Alzheimer's disease.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
"transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation"[tiab] OR "auricular vagus nerve stimulation"[tiab] OR taVNS[tiab] OR "auricular vagus"[tiab]Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
