- 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.

HanoverAges 18 years+ - NCT06612619Recruiting
Virtual reality training for hip fracture surgery in doctors
This trial compares two-on-one versus one-on-one virtual reality training for medical students learning to operate on hip fractures. It aims to see if having two instructors for every student is more effective than the usual one-on-one approach.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT06592378Recruiting
Managing pain after a broken bone with a smartphone app
This trial tests whether a smartphone app can help patients manage opioid pain medication safely after being discharged from the emergency room with a broken bone. If you have a simple fracture and plan to take opioids for pain, the app may help you track your use and recovery.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 6 years+ - NCT06570889RecruitingPhase 3

This trial tests if taking extra vitamin D during pregnancy can prevent asthma in young children. It is for pregnant women in Denmark who already have certain healthy fat levels in their blood.
Gentofte MunicipalityAges 18–45 - 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+ - NCT04921865Recruiting
Study of a 2.7 clavicle plate or hook plate
This case series looks at how well a specific clavicle plate or hook plate system works after surgery for certain collarbone injuries. It may help surgeons understand which injuries benefit most and what to expect for recovery and outcomes.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06560255RecruitingPhase 3
Fish oil in pregnancy to prevent childhood asthma
This study tests if taking fish oil during pregnancy can help lower the risk of childhood asthma. If you have low omega-3 levels, you may be randomly assigned to receive fish oil or a placebo.
Gentofte MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT06538376Recruiting
New portable chest X-ray for ICU patients
This study tests a new portable chest X-ray that can be used in the ICU to check for problems like fluid in the lungs, trouble breathing, or swallowing issues. It is designed to help doctors see these problems more easily without moving you to the radiology department.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06524843Recruiting
Evaluating fracture risk from cancer spread to bone
This study looks at people with cancer that has spread to the bones. It uses your medical imaging and records to understand your risk of bone fracture, without testing any new treatment.
Bologna, Emilia-RomagnaAges 18 years+ - NCT06423378Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Kneebar implant for knee pain and bone marrow lesion
This trial tests a new type of implant (a fiber-reinforced kneebar) for people with knee pain caused by a bone marrow lesion (BML) and osteoarthritis. The goal is to see if it helps relieve pain and improve knee function.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–75 - NCT06425627Recruiting
Spinal vs general anesthesia for hip fracture surgery in older adults
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (awake, lower body numb) versus general (completely asleep)—for people 65 and older having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which is better for preventing lung complications after surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 65 years+ - NCT06429501RecruitingPhase 2
Numbing medicine for facial fracture surgery
This study tests numbing medicine (local anesthetic) given during surgery for broken facial bones, like the jaw or cheekbones. The goal is to see how well it works and if it helps recovery.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06420141Recruiting
Nerve pain after ankle fracture surgery
This study looks at why some people develop nerve pain (neuropathic pain) after breaking their ankle and having surgery. If you have an ankle fracture that needs surgery, you may be able to join and help researchers understand this type of pain better.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–85 - NCT06407427Recruiting
Mobile app for recovery after hip, knee, or spine surgery
This study tests whether a mobile app can help with physical therapy after common bone or joint surgeries. You may qualify if you recently had a hip fracture, hip or knee replacement, or spine surgery without paralysis. The app guides your exercises at home.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06389240Enrolling by invitation
Early weight bearing for shinbone fractures
This study tests whether starting to put weight on your leg early after surgery helps people with a certain type of shinbone fracture heal better. If you qualify, you'll receive standard surgery and then be assigned to either an early or a delayed weight bearing schedule.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–65 - NCT06384456RecruitingPhase 4
TXA vs Placebo for Pain After Wrist Surgery
This study tests if tranexamic acid (TXA), a medicine used to reduce bleeding, can help lessen pain right after wrist fracture surgery.

- How do I know if I qualify for a fracture 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 fracture 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.
