Recruiting studies
- NCT05511012Recruiting
Testing movement-control assessment in low back pain

This study tests whether taking regular breaks from sitting for long periods can improve heart-related and blood-sugar-related health. It’s for adults who mostly sit, but who don’t already have certain long-term conditions or limits.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05334979Recruiting
Study oxalate and citrate in people with and without kidney stones
This study compares urine levels of oxalate and citrate in adults who have had calcium kidney stones and adults who have never had stones. It may help researchers understand how these urine chemicals relate to stone risk.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT05096273Recruiting
Training for control and expectations in PNES therapy
This study tests a treatment approach that aims to improve a sense of control and change symptom expectations for children or teens with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). It also involves family support so the treatment fits your home life and goals.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 11–18 - NCT05036590Recruiting
Testing a family support program for first-episode psychosis
This study checks whether a structured family intervention helps caregivers support a person with schizophrenia or a first psychotic episode. You may be asked to take part in a step-by-step program and answer questions to see if it works better than usual care.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT05056129Recruiting
Phone game to help you manage heart failure
This trial tests whether a sensor-connected digital game (played on a phone) can help people manage heart failure day-to-day. It’s for adults who recently needed hospitalization and are able to do light activity and use a phone.
Austin, TexasAges 45 years+ - NCT05047198RecruitingPhase 3
Catheter procedures to stop dangerous heart rhythm episodes
This study compares two catheter-based procedures to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT), a fast, dangerous heart rhythm. It looks to see which approach works better at reducing repeat VT events in people with weakened heart pumping.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 55 years+ - NCT05024344Recruiting
Nerve block to reduce pain after kidney stone surgery
This trial tests whether an “ESP block” (a targeted local anesthetic injection near nerves) works better than standard care to control pain after percutaneous kidney stone removal. If it helps with pain, it could reduce the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04823299Recruiting
Atrial fibrillation ablation using two different energy types
This trial tests whether one ablation approach works better than another for paroxysmal (intermittent) atrial fibrillation by targeting the heart’s “triggers” and “substrate” (where the rhythm problem is). If you qualify, you’ll be randomly assigned to one of two ablation energy methods during a pulmonary vein isolation procedure.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03887715Recruiting
VNS device for long-term depression that hasn’t improved
This trial studies whether a vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) device can reduce symptoms of treatment-resistant depression. Participants either receive the VNS treatment or a no-stimulation control, to compare safety and effectiveness.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03901924Recruiting
Ventilator settings to protect the breathing muscle
This study looks at a specific way to control a breathing machine (ventilator) to help prevent weakness of the diaphragm, the main breathing muscle, in newly intubated adults. You might be considered if you are newly on a ventilator for less than 36 hours and certain other conditions are not present.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03696199RecruitingPhase 4
Test better pain control after ankle fracture surgery
This trial studies a pain-control approach (a kind of nerve block) to see if it can reduce pain after surgery for certain ankle fractures. It may help you feel more comfortable while your ankle heals after an operation.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18–89 - NCT03569839Recruiting
Testing automatic control of anesthesia depth during surgery
This trial studies a monitoring and computer-based system that may automatically adjust anesthesia “depth” so patients stay at the right level during surgery or ICU sedation. It may help reduce swings in anesthesia and improve safety during procedures like eye, brain, or intensive care sedation.
Ljubljana, LjubljanaAges 20–70 - NCT03404336Recruiting
Well-being therapy for chronic migraine in outpatients
This study tests whether a “well-being therapy” program can reduce symptoms of chronic migraine compared with a control therapy. You may qualify if you have long-lasting chronic migraine and can follow the study schedule.
Florence, FlorenceAges 18–65 - NCT03513770RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing how the body controls blood pressure and heart rate
This early research trial looks at how your body’s automatic control system manages blood pressure and heart function. You may be asked to undergo tests to measure these responses, and the study aims to understand control of the circulation (blood flow).
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 21–35 - NCT01982890Enrolling by invitation
Tracking blood markers of immune recovery over time
This study follows healthy people over time and measures tiny markers in blood that reflect how your immune system is maintained. It may help researchers understand normal immune aging, which can also guide care for people with immune problems later.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18–85 - NCT07238556Recruiting
Digital exercise program for cardiovascular risk
This study tests a new digital tool that helps clinicians prescribe personalized exercise plans to patients with cardiovascular risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity. Participation involves using the tool and following an exercise plan for a few months to see if it improves health.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges 18–64 - NCT07219771RecruitingPhase 3
Knee injection for osteoarthritis pain
This study tests a single injection of PTP-001 (MOTYS™) into the knee to see if it reduces osteoarthritis pain. It is for people whose knee pain is their main pain problem and who haven't found relief from standard pain medicines.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT07674277Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain relief in sickle cell crisis
This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset can help reduce pain for adults with sickle cell disease during a painful crisis. The trial aims to see if this non-drug approach can improve comfort while receiving IV pain medication.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT07852338RecruitingPhase 3
Placental graft for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a treatment made from placental tissue, called Bioxheal, which is placed on a diabetic foot ulcer to help it heal. It compares this treatment to standard care alone.
Boardman, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07878884Recruiting
Light therapy with lung rehab for severe COPD
This trial tests whether adding light therapy to a standard exercise program helps people with severe COPD breathe better and do more in their daily lives. It might be especially helpful if you have advanced COPD and can still walk.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–90 - NCT07533383Recruiting
Pain relief block for inguinal hernia surgery
