This trial tests if freezing certain nerves in the upper arm (cryoneurolysis) works as well as standard care for reducing shoulder pain and muscle tightness after a stroke or brain injury. It aims to improve function and ease caregiving tasks.
LuxembourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07090057Recruiting
Targeting the plantaris muscle in ankle surgery for children
This study tests if removing the plantaris muscle during surgery improves ankle movement in children with tight heel cords. It aims to see if this extra step leads to better outcomes.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 4–17 - NCT07655310Recruiting
Parent factors and CT use in kids with minor head injury
This study looks at how a parent's background and understanding of health information might affect whether a child with a minor head injury gets a CT scan. It aims to better understand these factors to improve care.
BursaAges Up to 17 years - NCT05343130Recruiting
Brain-controlled electrical therapy for arm mobility after spinal injury
This trial studies a brain-computer system that helps control electrical stimulation to improve arm movement after a spinal cord injury. It may help with functional use of the upper limbs during rehabilitation if you meet the specific injury, spasticity, and safety requirements.
Tlalpan, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT04708613Recruiting
Brain testing study for former football players and controls
This study looks at how the brain and thinking may be affected by playing professional football, using brain scans and thinking tests. It also compares former players with similar men who did not play organized football beyond high school.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 29–59 - NCT04521881RecruitingPhase 3
Testing an antifibrinolytic for mild head injury in older adults
This study tests whether an anti-bleeding medicine (given to reduce unwanted clot breakdown) can improve outcomes after a mild head injury in people 50 and older. It is looking for patients who arrive quickly after injury and have certain symptoms like brief loss of consciousness, confusion, or nausea.
London, LondonAges 50 years+ - NCT05233475Recruiting
Rehab program after concussion in Danish adults
This trial tests a “get going” rehabilitation program for people who recently had a concussion (mild brain injury) from a head impact. It may help reduce concussion symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning in the months after injury.
Hammel, Deb´nmarkAges 18–60 - NCT06112093RecruitingPhase 1
Magnetic brain stimulation for headaches after a concussion
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic pulse treatment (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help people with long-lasting headaches following a mild concussion. If you are 18 to 55 years old and have had daily headaches for at least 3 months after your head injury, this study may help find a new way to relieve your pain.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18–55 - NCT06192342Recruiting

Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 16 years+ - NCT06480162Recruiting
How breathing machines affect the brain's memory center
This trial studies how mechanical ventilation (breathing machine) affects the hippocampus, a part of the brain important for memory. It may help people who already have an electrode in their hippocampus understand how breathing support impacts brain function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07097792Recruiting
