MonastirAges 18–85 - NCT07826936RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nerve block for severe abdominal pain in the emergency department
This trial tests whether a nerve block can provide better pain relief for severe abdominal pain that hasn't improved with standard pain medicine. It's for people who are not candidates for surgery and are in the emergency department or already in the hospital.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07820371Recruiting
Perfusion index for diabetic ketoacidosis severity in the emergency department
This study looks at a simple, non-invasive measurement called the perfusion index, which shows how well blood is flowing to your tissues, to help doctors quickly determine how severe diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious diabetes complication) is. The goal is to see if this measurement can guide treatment and improve outcomes.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07813767RecruitingPhase 3
Early antibiotic treatment guided by a blood test to prevent severe infection
This study tests whether giving an early antibiotic (meropenem) based on a new blood test (PSP) can prevent serious infections (sepsis) in people who come to the emergency department with signs of infection. The goal is to find out if this approach helps them get better faster and avoid more severe illness.
Athens, AtticaAges 18 years+ - NCT07779720Recruiting
Personalized fluids for emergency sepsis care
This trial tests a personalized approach to giving IV fluids to patients with sepsis in the emergency department. It uses a device to monitor your heart and blood flow to help doctors decide how much fluid you need, which may improve recovery.
Murray, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT07722897Recruiting
Monitoring brain activity during emergency intubation
This study tests whether monitoring brain activity (using a sensor on the forehead) during emergency intubation helps prevent unstable blood pressure or heart rate. It is for adults who need a breathing tube placed quickly in the emergency room.
AntalyaAges 18 years+ - NCT06643338Recruiting
Testing AI to spot eye nerve conditions in the ER
This trial is testing a new computer system that uses photographs of the back of your eye (color fundus photos) to help doctors quickly identify certain nerve or vision problems in the emergency room. If you come to the specific hospital and meet the basic requirements, this study will take pictures of your eyes to see if the AI can spot conditions more accurately.
ParisAges 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+ - NCT07588490Recruiting
TENS for sudden severe lower back pain in the emergency room
This trial tests a pain-relief device called TENS (a small machine that sends mild electrical pulses through your skin) for people with sudden, severe lower back pain in the emergency department. Researchers want to see if TENS can help reduce your pain quickly without extra medications.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07558265Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods in the emergency department
This study tests two common ways to help people who are having trouble breathing in the emergency room: a face mask that pushes air into the lungs (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) or high-flow oxygen through small tubes in the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen). The goal is to find which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07539597Recruiting
Better Blood Pressure Care in New York Emergency Rooms
This study tests new ways to help people with high blood pressure get better control of it. If you've visited an emergency room with high blood pressure readings, researchers want to help you manage it better with new support and follow-up care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03691857Recruiting
Ultrasound computer tool for sudden breathing trouble in the ER
This study tests how well a computer-guided ultrasound method can quickly identify the cause of sudden breathing difficulty in the emergency room. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions for treatment.
Châlons-en-ChampagneAges 50 years+ - NCT07462611Recruiting
Starting PrEP for HIV prevention in the emergency department
This study is testing whether starting PrEP (daily pills to prevent HIV) right away in the emergency department helps people at high risk for HIV. It aims to make it easier to start protection before you leave the hospital.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07430345RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Buprenorphine for pain in older adults with broken bones
This trial tests a low-dose pain medicine called buprenorphine for people 65 and older who come to the emergency room with a broken bone. It aims to find a safe way to manage pain in older adults.
Camden, New JerseyAges 65 years+ - NCT07391280Recruiting
