Recruiting studies
- NCT03691857Recruiting
Ultrasound computer tool for sudden breathing trouble in the ER

Study of memory and thinking changes after breast surgery
This trial looks at whether certain anesthesia medications and airway devices are linked to short-term memory or thinking problems after breast surgery. If you’re having breast surgery under general anesthesia, your care team may compare outcomes to learn how to reduce “post-op cognitive dysfunction.”
Treviso, TVAges 18 years+ - NCT04091724Recruiting
EEG monitoring during surgery to reduce delirium in children
This study checks whether using an EEG machine (small sensors that record brain electrical activity) during elective surgery can help prevent or lessen emergence delirium—confusion and agitation right after waking up. It focuses on children under 16 and compares their experience around the time they come out of anesthesia.
Wuhan, HubeiAges Up to 16 years - NCT04145258RecruitingPhase 3
Stronger TB treatment for meningitis to reduce deaths
This trial tests if giving a stronger combination of TB drugs for meningitis can save more lives. It's for patients who have been diagnosed with tuberculosis meningitis and have not yet started more than 5 days of TB treatment.
AbidjanAges 15 years+ - NCT04163081Recruiting
Help to quit smoking started from the emergency department
This study tests a program to help people who smoke quit, beginning when they are seen in the emergency department. It aims to see if starting nicotine-cessation support right away improves quitting over the next year.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04166266Recruiting
Study of adults with hepatitis D and hepatitis B coinfection
This study follows adults who have ongoing hepatitis D infection along with hepatitis B. It aims to better understand this mixed infection and how these patients do over time.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04436991Recruiting
Testing antibiotic doses in older adults in the emergency room
This study looks at how best to dose certain antibiotics in people age 75 and older who are admitted to a geriatric (older-adult) hospital unit. It aims to measure antibiotic levels in the body to see whether dosing can be improved for older patients.
GhentAges 75 years+ - NCT04446585Recruiting
Study of early help for witnessed home cardiac arrests
This study looks at witnessed sudden cardiac arrest happening in residential areas, and tests whether a new first-responder approach gets help to people faster. It may help improve outcomes after cardiac arrest by improving the timing and coordination of emergency response.
Ballerup Municipality, The Capital RegionAges 8 years+ - 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+ - NCT04760977Recruiting
HEMS care for bleeding trauma with low blood pressure
This trial studies how emergency helicopter (HEMS) teams manage trauma patients who have signs of shock from blood loss, especially when bleeding is suspected or ongoing. It may help teams choose the best pre-hospital approach to stabilize you sooner.
AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT04785976Recruiting
Study of long-term outcomes after a ruptured brain aneurysm bleed
This trial is a long-term follow-up study of people who come to the emergency room with a ruptured brain aneurysm (bleeding in the space around the brain). It helps doctors understand what outcomes are most common and what may affect recovery over time.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT04811014RecruitingPhase 4
Helping young adults stop opioids after an emergency visit
This study offers an engagement program for young people who tested positive for opioids and meet criteria for opioid dependence. The goal is to help participants stop opioid use safely and learn whether this approach works well in the real-world emergency setting.
Houston, TexasAges 13–17 - NCT04893525RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Buprenorphine-naloxone microdosing versus standard dosing after ED discharge
This study compares a smaller “microdose” starting method versus the usual starting dose of buprenorphine/naloxone for people with opioid use disorder when they are discharged from the emergency department. It may help find a safer, easier way to start treatment right after an ED visit and avoid problems caused by starting too early.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04925414RecruitingPhase 4
Testing high-flow oxygen for migraine in the emergency room
This trial looks at whether breathing high-flow oxygen in the emergency department can help relieve migraine-like headaches. You may qualify if you are 18+ and are admitted to the ER for a migraine that fits standard diagnostic rules.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT04959734Recruiting
Study of COVID-19 effects on emergency visits for infant lung infections
This study looks at how the COVID-19 era changed emergency department visits for young children with breathing problems, such as bronchiolitis or first-time viral wheeze. It may help doctors understand trends in these illnesses and plan better care during outbreaks.
LeicesterAges birth–2 years - NCT05035342RecruitingPhase 3
Fecal transplant to clear resistant gut bacteria
This Phase 3 study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can eliminate hard-to-treat bacteria in the gut, such as ESBL or carbapenem-resistant bacteria. If it works, it may reduce future infections and antibiotic-resistant illness.
ClichyAges 18–105 - NCT05050617Recruiting
Ultrasound in the ER to predict risks in pulmonary embolism
This trial checks whether a bedside ultrasound done in the emergency room can help predict which people with an acute pulmonary embolism are more likely to have bad outcomes. If you qualify, your care team will compare ultrasound findings with your later results to see if it can guide treatment decisions sooner.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05066347Recruiting
Remote heart monitoring after fainting discharge from the ER
This trial studies whether remote heart monitoring after an ER visit for fainting (syncope) can help identify dangerous heart problems. You may be enrolled only if your fainting episode seems medium- to high-risk and you’re being sent home from the ER.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05121324RecruitingPhase 3
Tested higher-dose seizure medicine for children during EMS care
This trial studies the best dose of a seizure medicine for children who are actively seizing while emergency medical teams are treating them. It may help EMS crews give safer, more effective treatment during transport.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 6 months–13 years - NCT05127278Recruiting
Testing a tool to spot early signs of new mental health problems
This study tests whether a new screening tool can detect emerging mental health problems at an early stage. It may help people and clinicians identify issues sooner, so support can happen earlier.
GlasgowAges 12–35 - NCT05273879Recruiting
Testing whether one-level fusion is needed after lumbar decompression
This trial compares outcomes after decompression surgery for one affected area in the lower back, with and without adding spinal fusion. It may help patients avoid unnecessary extra surgery—or ensure fusion is used when it’s needed.
Moscow, MoscowAges 45–75 - NCT05300035RecruitingPhase 2
HIV treatment add-on antibodies during early infection
This study tests whether adding two antibody medicines to standard HIV treatment helps people control HIV better after stopping treatment. It focuses on people with recently diagnosed (“primary”) HIV infection, aiming to improve long-term control after ART is interrupted.

- How do I know if I qualify for a emergencies trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a emergencies trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
