X-CircuiT versus Conventional Exercise in Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Non-Inferiority Randomized Trial for CAD Patients

This randomized controlled non-inferiority trial demonstrates that X-CircuiT, a smartphone-guided multi-component exercise regime, is as effective and safe as conventional exercise in improving fitness in home-based cardiac rehabilitation for patients with coronary artery disease and risk factors.

Evaluating Electromagnetic Network-Targeted Field Therapy for Post-Ischemic Stroke Disability: Insights from the EMAGINE Trial

The EMAGINE randomized clinical trial assessed low-intensity electromagnetic stimulation combined with rehabilitation in moderate to severe ischemic stroke patients. While safe, it did not yield statistically significant functional improvement, warranting further investigation.
