Pain relief methods for hip fracture surgery
This trial compares two different nerve-block techniques (pain-relief injections) to see which one works better for patients having surgery to repair a broken hip. Both methods numb the area around the hip so you feel less pain during and after surgery.

Safety follow-up for Ennovate cervical device
This study checks how safely and effectively a cervical device (Ennovate® Cervical) works after it’s been used in routine care. It may help by monitoring real-world safety and performance over time.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07740239Recruiting

This study looks at why some seriously ill adults become frail. It involves imaging and other tests to help doctors better understand and care for patients with serious conditions.
TampereAges Any age - NCT07717463Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for hip fracture surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief during hip fracture repair. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a broken hip, and are scheduled for surgery with spinal anesthesia.
Istanbul, BeyogluAges 50 years+ - NCT07716540Recruiting
Pain relief injection for hip fracture surgery
This study tests whether a special numbing injection (deep iliacus plane block) can better control pain after hip fracture surgery. If you're having hip surgery under spinal anesthesia, researchers want to see if this extra block helps you recover with less pain.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06921707Recruiting
WounDx test for healing decisions in large wounds
This trial tests a new tool called WounDx that helps doctors decide the best way to treat large wounds on arms, legs, or buttocks. It may help your wound heal better by guiding your care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–65 - NCT07325578Recruiting
Testing a new device for CT-guided spine and pelvis procedures
This study is testing a new device called EPIONE that helps doctors perform CT-guided needle procedures in the spine or pelvis. It aims to see if the device improves accuracy and safety for patients under general anesthesia.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT03116490Recruiting
Compares anesthesia types for recovery after hip fracture surgery
This study looks at whether using regional anesthesia or general anesthesia affects outcomes after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It may help doctors choose the safest anesthesia option for recovery and prognosis.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 60 years+ - NCT03416959Recruiting
Register study for surgery patients with long-bone bone metastases
This trial collects and follows information about people who had surgery to treat cancer that spread to their long bones (like the femur or humerus) to prevent or fix a broken bone. It may help doctors better understand outcomes after these surgeries and improve future care.
Bologna, BolognaAges Any age - NCT03759028RecruitingPhase 4
Study of pain relief after elbow fracture surgery
This trial looks at how well different pain medicines work after surgery for a specific type of broken elbow bone. It may help find a safer, more comfortable pain-control plan while the fracture heals.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 4–12 - NCT03765567RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic powder placed in certain emergency open fractures
This study tests whether putting antibiotic powder directly into an open fracture wound in the emergency room can improve care outcomes. It focuses on adults treated shortly after injury.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–89 - NCT03784651Recruiting
How breast cancer treatment changes metabolism and bone
This study looks at how standard breast cancer treatments affect your body’s metabolism and bones in postmenopausal people with early-stage breast cancer. It may help doctors better predict and prevent bone and metabolic side effects from treatment.
Copenhagen, DanmarkAges 50–70 - NCT03903510Recruiting
Virtual reality during kids’ cast removal
This trial tests whether virtual reality can help children feel calmer during cast removal after a broken arm or leg. It may make the experience less stressful while the cast is being taken off.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 4–12 - NCT04007432Recruiting
Testing nighttime low-oxygen levels after hip fracture surgery
This study checks how often older adults get low oxygen during the night after hip fracture surgery. It may help doctors better monitor and improve care during hospital recovery.
ParisAges 70 years+ - NCT04028687Recruiting
Study of a hip stem used in select adult hip replacements
This trial follows people who have had a hip replacement using a specific “Taperloc Complete” stem. It is meant to monitor outcomes after surgery and see how well the stem performs over time for certain non-infectious hip problems.
Henderson, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT04076735Recruiting
Compare fixing vs replacing certain leg bone fractures in seniors
This trial studies which operation works better for an acute distal femur (upper knee area) fracture in older adults: repairing/fixing it versus replacing the joint/bone. It may help find the safest approach and improve walking and recovery for people in this situation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT04112992Recruiting
Registry for post-injury long bone bone defects
This study is a registry that collects real-world information about adults with bone gaps in the long bones caused by injury. It may help researchers understand what treatments work best and improve care for these defects over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04170634Recruiting
CT scan study to assess bone strength in certain cancers
This study uses a CT scan to estimate how strong a cancer-affected bone area is, helping doctors evaluate fracture risk and bone management. It is aimed at adults with bone lesions from several common cancer types.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04195256RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nasal sedation medicine for kids needing a quick procedure
This trial tests whether a nose spray (dexmedetomidine plus ketamine) can safely and effectively sedate children during an ED procedure for certain arm injuries. It may help reduce distress and improve comfort compared with usual care.
