Recruiting studies
- NCT07028463Recruiting
Awareness and resources for fall risk in older ED patients
This study tests a program in the emergency department that helps older adults at risk for falls get connected to resources and support after they go home.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 65 years+ - NCT05691218Recruiting
Early high-flow oxygen plus nebulized asthma medicine
This study tests whether giving fast, high-flow oxygen early—together with inhaled terbutaline via a vibrating mist—helps adults with moderate to severe asthma flare-ups in the emergency department. It aims to see if this approach improves breathing after initial treatment.
Poitiers, FranceAges 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+ - NCT07375914Recruiting
New approach for managing acute low back pain in the ER
This trial tests a comprehensive program that looks at your physical, mental, and social needs to treat sudden low back pain in the emergency room. It may help you get better care and avoid long-term pain.
ParisAges 18–55 - NCT07312461Recruiting
Causes and care for children with visible blood in urine
This study looks at children who come to the emergency room with visible blood in their urine (called gross hematuria). It tracks what causes it and how it is managed, which could help doctors give better care.
StrasbourgAges Up to 17 years - NCT07335575Recruiting
Study of physical restraint use in the ER
This study looks at how physical restraints were used in the emergency department at a large hospital. If you were restrained during a visit earlier this year, your medical records might help researchers understand and improve safety practices.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT05307432Enrolling by invitation
Telehealth safety planning after an ER visit for suicide risk
This study tests a phone/video-based “safety plan” service for adults after an ER visit related to suicide risk. It may help you (or the ER team) feel more prepared to stay safe and know what to do next after you leave the hospital.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 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+ - NCT07287891Recruiting
Predicting brain causes of dizziness in the ER
This study is observing patients who come to the emergency department with vertigo, dizziness, or unsteadiness. Researchers want to predict which of these symptoms are caused by a brain problem (central nervous system), helping doctors make fast and accurate decisions.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT07228052RecruitingPhase 4
Steroid shot to prevent return to the ER for asthma
This trial tests whether a single steroid shot given in the emergency department can help prevent your asthma symptoms from coming back and keep you from needing to return to the ER.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 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+ - NCT06733974Recruiting
Support for families of dying patients in the ER
This study tests a program designed to support relatives when a loved one is dying in the emergency department. It aims to see if extra guidance and follow-up calls can help families during this difficult time.
Paris, ParisAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT05325580RecruitingPhase 3
IV magnesium vs placebo for sudden non-injury headaches
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate through a vein in the emergency room can reduce sudden (non-injury) acute headaches compared with a placebo. It may help people whose headache comes on suddenly and is not caused by an injury.
