Recruiting studies
- NCT05765929Recruiting
X-ray tests for deciding how to treat certain ankle fractures
This study uses special standing (weightbearing) ankle X-rays to see whether your ankle fracture is stable, to help guide treatment decisions. It may help doctors choose safer, more appropriate care for specific ankle fracture types.

This study looks at the best surgical option for an acute (new) fracture of the lower thigh bone near a stable knee replacement. It compares surgery that “fixes” the bone versus surgery that “replaces” part of the bone to help you walk again safely.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT05883241RecruitingPhase 1
Sound-based treatment for fracture pain
This early-stage study tests a device that uses sound to reduce pain from a bone fracture and improve daily quality of life. If you have mild-to-moderate fracture pain and can follow the device routine, you may be able to try this treatment while avoiding other pain medicines and fracture-area therapies.
Trumbull, ConnecticutAges 18–80 - NCT05976256Recruiting
Kinesio tape for new shoulder or chest injuries
This trial looks at whether kinesio tape (elastic therapeutic tape) helps pain and movement after a fresh shoulder or chest wall injury. It’s designed for certain types of rib, collarbone, or shoulder joint injuries when the injury happened very recently.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06050668RecruitingPhase 2
Amino acid supplement study for broken hip in older adults
This study tests whether giving extra essential amino acids (building blocks of protein) to older adults hospitalized with a broken femur (thigh bone) can improve their recovery. If you are 65 or older, broke your femur from a simple fall, and are having surgery to fix it, you may be able to join.
Iowa City, IowaAges 65 years+ - NCT06113614Recruiting
Light Therapy After Shoulder Fracture Surgery
This study tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) applied after surgery helps people recover better from a shoulder fracture. It is for adults aged 18–65 who have a specific type of humerus fracture that needs surgery with a plate and screws.
São PauloAges 18–65 - NCT06141187Recruiting
Vertebroplasty vs. sham for spine fractures due to osteoporosis
This trial tests if a procedure called vertebroplasty (injecting bone cement into a fractured spine bone) relieves pain better than a sham (fake) procedure. It is for people with painful spine fractures caused by osteoporosis (weak bones) that started within the last three months.
Middelfart, FynAges 50 years+ - NCT06367582Recruiting
Study of Teknimed spine cements outcomes
This study is checking how well certain spine cements (used to stabilize broken vertebrae) work in real life. If you are 18 or older and have had or will have a TEKNIMED cement procedure, you may be able to join.
Strasbourg, Bas-RhinAges 18 years+ - NCT06416618Recruiting
Surgery vs. No Surgery for Shoulder Fracture, Ages 50-65
This trial compares surgery versus non-surgical treatment for a broken shoulder bone (proximal humerus) in adults aged 50 to 65. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery and function.
Køge, Region SjællandAges 50–65 - NCT06496035Recruiting
Blood flow training for leg fracture recovery
This study tests whether a special exercise method called blood flow restriction training helps people heal faster after a broken shinbone (tibia). It might improve strength and recovery during physical therapy.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT06496867Recruiting
Surgery vs. early rehab for pelvic fractures in older adults
This study compares two treatments for a specific type of pelvic fracture (LC1) in people 60 and older: surgery to fix the bone early, or non-surgical care with early rehabilitation. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 60 years+ - NCT06600854Recruiting
BoneTape trial for cheekbone and upper jaw fractures
This study tests a new bone tape (BoneTape) for fixing certain types of facial fractures. If you have an unstable break in your cheekbone or upper jaw that needs surgery, this trial may be a good fit.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06670404Recruiting
Combination treatment for painful spinal fractures
This study tests a combination treatment for painful spinal fractures caused by thinning bones (osteoporosis) or tumors. It may help people with one or more recently broken vertebrae in the mid or lower back.
LausanneAges 18 years+ - NCT07027306Recruiting
New score to guide treatment for osteoporotic spine fractures
This study tests a new classification system to help doctors decide the best treatment for spine fractures caused by osteoporosis. It aims to improve pain and mobility by matching treatment to fracture type.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07046052Recruiting
Pain block after hip fracture surgery: continuous vs. periodic injection
This trial compares two ways of delivering pain medication after hip fracture surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a steady continuous infusion or periodic small doses through a nerve block, to see which method works better for pain control.
Cork, CorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07072286Recruiting
Regional anesthesia for pelvic fracture pain relief
This study tests whether regional anesthesia techniques, which numb the area around your pelvic fracture, can better manage your pain while you wait for surgery. It aims to see if these methods improve pain relief and reduce the need for other pain medicines.
TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT07092579Recruiting
Smart crutch tips for guided weight-bearing after shinbone fracture
This trial tests a smart crutch tip device that helps guide how much weight you put on your leg after a broken shinbone surgery. It aims to make recovery safer and more predictable.
Kyiv, Kyiv OblastAges 18–80 - NCT07120763RecruitingPhase 3
Better pain control for kids with broken wrists
This trial compares different ways to manage pain for children who come to the emergency room with a broken wrist that needs to be reset. The goal is to find which pain medicine or numbing method works best and is safest for kids.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 3–17 - NCT07178041Recruiting
Remote conditioning after hip fracture surgery
This study tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment using a blood pressure cuff on the arm can help reduce complications after hip fracture surgery. It might help improve recovery by preparing the body to handle the stress of surgery.
Sheffield, South YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07234396Recruiting
Animated video for kids having elbow pins removed
This trial tests whether watching a short animated video before getting metal pins removed from a broken elbow can help reduce pain and anxiety in children. It compares the video to the usual care, which is just talking to the child.
Karachi, SindhAges 4–12 - NCT07299851Recruiting
Fatty acid supplement for bone healing after a leg fracture
This trial tests whether a supplement made from cetylated fatty acids can help heal a simple leg bone fracture faster after surgery. You might be eligible if you have a specific type of leg fracture fixed with a metal rod inside the bone.
Deurne, AntwerpAges 18–85 - NCT07314450Recruiting
Pain and sedation for fracture and dislocation treatment in the ER
This study tests how well pain and sedation medicines work in the emergency department when treating adults with certain broken bones or dislocated joints that need to be set or casted. It aims to see which approach is safest and most comfortable for patients.
Holbæk, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT07350785Recruiting

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 504 recruiting fracture studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- 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.
