Recruiting studies
- NCT03696134Recruiting
Study of musculoskeletal health, frailty, pain, and disability
This study looks at musculoskeletal health and wellbeing in adults, especially people who are frail or at risk of developing frailty-related problems like pain or limited ability to move. It may help researchers understand what puts people at risk and what could improve comfort and function.
NottinghamAges 18 years+ - NCT03713125Recruiting
Study of thinking skills in young children
This study looks at how children in kindergarten think and learn (often called “executive function”). They may be testing whether certain patterns in thinking and behavior relate to learning or development, and what can be measured in young children.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 4–9 - NCT03827187Recruiting
Brain signal training to detect awareness
This study checks whether brain activity patterns can show when a person is aware, even if they can’t reliably communicate. If signs of awareness are found (or if you already know you are aware), the study may also train a brain-computer interface to support communication or movement assistance.
DublinAges 10–80 - NCT03910738RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone treatment for nerve protection and myelin repair in MS
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking testosterone (for low testosterone levels) can help protect nerves and repair myelin in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). It may be most relevant if your MS is stable and you have low blood testosterone without current androgen treatment.
BesançonAges 18–55 - NCT07603076Recruiting
Vein Problems and Symptoms in Lipedema
This study looks at how vein function relates to lipedema (a condition causing painful fat buildup in legs). Researchers will use ultrasound to check your veins and ask about your symptoms to better understand how the two conditions connect.
Istanbul, UskudarAges 18–65 - NCT04026386Recruiting
Early intervention program for preschool children with developmental delays
This trial tests a structured, center-based early intervention program for preschoolers with developmental disorders. It may help children build skills and support development through guided activities and testing at the research site.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 2–5 - NCT04199299Recruiting
Communication sensors for people who can’t express needs clearly
This trial tests a wearable sensor system that may help people who have difficulty communicating their needs clearly. It may capture signals from the body so caregivers and devices can better understand reactions and needs.
OsloAges 5–80 - NCT04296097Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for severe, steady disabling tinnitus
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (a device that sends controlled signals to the brain) can reduce severe, constant tinnitus that has not improved with usual treatments. It may help lower the loudness distress and improve daily quality of life for people whose tinnitus is especially disabling.
GrenobleAges 18–75 - NCT04395495Recruiting
RASopathy disorder study biobank for kids and families
This study collects and stores health samples and information from people with RASopathy conditions (like Noonan or Costello syndromes) and from family members who may not have the condition. It helps researchers understand these disorders and supports future studies that could lead to better care.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT04588311RecruitingPhase 3
Epoetin to improve outcomes in severe trauma ICU patients
This trial tests epoetin alfa (a blood-building medicine) to help reduce death and severe disability in critically ill trauma patients in the ICU. You may be considered if your ICU team expects a longer stay and the timing after injury is early.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT04704297RecruitingPhase 4
Trigger point shots for low back muscle pain
This trial tests whether injecting sore “trigger points” in low back muscles helps improve chronic low back pain. It compares treatments in people with specific low back muscle pain patterns and excludes several other causes of pain.
Tacoma, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04945174Recruiting
Stroke prevention program with exercise and education
This trial tests a structured “stroke school” program that includes supervised physical activity, education, and follow-up coaching to help reduce future stroke and heart problems. It may help people with minor stroke or a TIA who don’t need rehabilitation but do need safer ways to be more active.
Copenhagen, HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT05253326Recruiting
Relaxing muscle exercises after spine surgery
This trial tests whether a structured “progressive muscle relaxation” routine can reduce pain and help recovery after spine surgery. You may be asked to learn and practice the relaxation steps even if you’ve never done them before.
Istanbul, ÜsküdarAges 18 years+ - NCT05394363Recruiting
Victoria children birth-cohort study with parent/guardian consent
This study follows children born in a specific 2-year window and their parents or guardians over time. It helps researchers understand how children and families change as they grow, which can guide future health supports in Victoria.
Parkville, VictoriaAges 1 day+ - NCT05461092RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nerve blocks to improve pain control after spinal fusion
This early-stage study tests whether a regional nerve block can improve pain control and recovery for older adults having elective lumbar spinal fusion. If you qualify, you may receive a special pain-control injection during surgery to reduce opioid needs and improve recovery comfort.
Iowa City, IowaAges 65 years+ - NCT05471232Recruiting
Genomic testing for youth mental health crises with IDD
This study looks at genetic (DNA) information to understand mental health crises in youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It may help doctors learn why these crises happen and improve how future families are supported.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 7–17 - NCT05491031Recruiting
MRI scan study to predict disability changes in MS
This study uses MRI scans to predict how quickly disability may worsen in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help doctors spot people at higher risk of progression earlier.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT05523505Recruiting
Noninvasive brain stimulation to improve adult reading understanding
This study tests whether a safe, non-drug brain stimulation approach can help adults better understand what they read. It aims to see if the treatment improves reading comprehension and related thinking skills.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–40 - NCT05532865Recruiting
Biobank study for adults with systemic sclerosis
This study follows adults with systemic sclerosis who are being seen at a specific hospital and asks for consent to store blood and other samples for future research. It may help researchers better understand the disease and develop better tests or treatments over time.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT05692973Recruiting
Study tests how reading skill affects thinking
This study looks at how difficulty reading might change how people make judgments and decisions. You may be asked to complete reading and thinking tasks, and the researchers compare results by reading performance.
Excelsior Springs, MissouriAges 8–14 - NCT05738278Recruiting
Care changes guided by heart rate in non-speaking autistic people
This study tests whether using a person’s heart rate to guide care can improve day-to-day support for autistic people who do not communicate verbally. It’s aimed at people who live in a care home or attend a staffed day program most days of the week.
OsloAges 5–70 - NCT05751525Recruiting
Oral sulfonylurea study for children with KCNJ11-related delay and epilepsy
This study looks at whether switching to an oral sulfonylurea medicine can improve thinking, development, and seizure-related outcomes in children with a specific KCNJ11 gene change. You may be able to join if your child already has this mutation and has been able to take the medicine by mouth.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 2–50 - NCT05761847Recruiting
Medication coaching for kids with many health conditions
This study offers medication therapy management—helping families organize and use their child’s medicines safely and correctly. It’s meant for children with complex, long-term health problems who take many medications.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 2–18 - NCT05767242Recruiting
