Whole-body CT in the ER to spot low-risk trauma patients
This study looks at whether doing a whole-body CT scan in the emergency room can help identify adults who are at low risk after a road accident or fall. It may help doctors decide who can be managed with less intensive testing or monitoring.
RouenAges 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+ - NCT07663240Enrolling by invitation

Ultrasound to detect skull fractures in young children with head injuries
This study tests whether ultrasound (sound-wave imaging) can quickly and safely detect skull fractures in children 6 years old or younger who have bumped their head. The goal is to find a faster, non-radiation way to check for fractures in the emergency room.
Genova, ItalyAges Up to 6 years - NCT05304442RecruitingPhase 3
IV iron for anemia from heavy uterine bleeding
This trial studies whether giving iron through a vein (IV) helps improve anemia caused by heavy uterine bleeding. You may join if you were treated in the emergency department, can go home, and can return for follow-up checks in the next several weeks.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT06726811Recruiting
Droperidol and changes in heart electrical activity
This study looks at how a medication called droperidol (given through an IV for nausea or agitation) affects the heart's electrical activity. If you are in the emergency department and need both an ECG and droperidol, researchers will check your heart tracing before and after the medication to see if there are any changes.
Corpus Christi, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06663813Recruiting
Preventing diabetes complications for ER patients
This trial offers counseling and support to emergency department patients with high blood sugar to help them adopt healthy habits and prevent diabetes-related problems.

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.
