Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 40 years+ - NCT06752551Recruiting
Apprehension training vs standard physical therapy for shoulder dislocation in military
This study compares a new type of training focused on controlling shoulder 'apprehension' (the feeling that your shoulder might pop out) with standard physical therapy. It is for military personnel who have had a shoulder dislocation and may help you regain trust in your shoulder without surgery.
Be’er Ya‘aqovAges 18–39 - NCT05821517RecruitingPhase 4
Breathing or virtual reality to treat shoulder dislocation pain
This trial compares two ways to help control pain after an anterior (front) shoulder dislocation: methoxyflurane breathing and a virtual reality headset, versus usual pain treatment. It may help some people by making pain control easier during treatment.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT06233539Recruiting
Study on diagnosis and treatment for neck bone dislocation
This trial aims to find the best ways to diagnose and treat a specific type of neck bone problem called atlantoaxial dislocation. It is for people who have this condition and are having surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07068893Recruiting
Wrist dislocation surgery with internal brace technique
This study looks at a surgical technique using four anchors and an internal brace to treat a type of wrist dislocation (perilunate). It may be an option if you've already had surgery for this injury and don't have broken wrist bones.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–88 - NCT04607538Recruiting
Study of knee joint shape and patella dislocations in Faroese teens
This study looks at how knee joint shape differences may relate to repeated kneecap (patella) instability or near-dislocation, and what that means long-term. It specifically includes teens from the Faroe Islands and asks about symptoms and knee function over time.
HvidovreAges 15–20 - NCT06086080Recruiting
Non-surgical care after first kneecap dislocation
This study compares non-surgical treatment for people who have dislocated their kneecap for the first time in the past week. It aims to find the best way to help the knee heal without an operation.
Cali, Valle del Cauca DepartmentAges 10–40 - NCT06531590Recruiting
New emergency approach for shoulder dislocation
This trial tests a new way to treat a dislocated shoulder in the emergency room. It might help people with a first-time or repeat shoulder dislocation get back to normal faster.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18 years+ - NCT06678438RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block vs. hematoma block for wrist fracture realignment
This study compares two ways to numb your arm before a doctor moves your broken wrist back into place: one is a nerve block (injection near the shoulder), and the other is a hematoma block (injection into the fracture site). The goal is to see which method works better for pain relief during the procedure.
Hillerød, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06956729Recruiting
Guided hip growth for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a surgery to help guide the growth of the hip bone in children with cerebral palsy whose hips are at risk of slipping out of place. The goal is to prevent hip dislocation and avoid more complex surgery later.
A Coruña, A CoruñaAges 3–8 - NCT07115225Recruiting
Shoulder tests for athletes after a dislocation
This study tests a set of physical tests to see how well they measure shoulder function in people who have had a shoulder dislocation and plan to return to sports. It may help you understand if you are ready to go back to your sport safely.
AntwerpAges 16–55 - NCT02913352Recruiting
Surgery comparison for repeat shoulder dislocation
This trial compares two surgical techniques to stop the shoulder from repeatedly dislocating when there is significant damage to the shoulder socket and “matching” damage to the ball. It may help you if past repair hasn’t worked and imaging shows you have a higher-risk pattern of instability.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 16 years+ - NCT06906419Enrolling by invitation
Knee surgery study for chronic kneecap dislocations
This study looks at how well a specific knee surgery (arthroscopic trochleoplasty) works over time for people who have had repeated kneecap dislocations. If you had this surgery between 2015 and 2023, your results could help doctors understand how to better treat this condition.
DrammenAges 18 years+ - NCT05844098Recruiting
Fixing a shoulder AC joint injury with or without extra pins
This trial compares two surgical options for a recent shoulder AC joint injury: one method uses arthroscopy-assisted stabilization alone, and the other adds an extra K-wire (small metal pin) for fixation. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and shoulder recovery.
Chon BuriAges 18–45 - NCT05564494Recruiting
Surgery for repeat shoulder dislocations
This trial studies surgical treatment for people whose shoulder keeps dislocating forward (anteriorly). It may help by choosing a surgery plan for the amount of bone loss seen on scans, while excluding people with certain medical or instability patterns.
New York, New YorkAges 16–40 - NCT05868434Recruiting
Surgery for unstable kneecap after dislocation
This trial looks at a surgical repair to stop a kneecap (patella) that keeps slipping out of place after a lateral dislocation. It’s intended for people whose symptoms did not improve with non-surgical treatments.
