Combination therapy to improve spinal cord injury recovery
This trial studies a combination of treatments to help people with certain types of spinal cord injury regain some movement and feeling over time. If you meet the specific injury and health criteria, you may be asked to do simple walking and assessment tests during treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT05577962RecruitingPhase 4
Recovery quality after thyroid surgery with and without opioids
This study compares two types of anesthesia for thyroid surgery: one with opioids (strong painkillers) and one without. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better right after surgery, with fewer side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–99 - NCT05536076Recruiting
Breathing treatment to help recovery after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a breathing-support treatment (for abnormal breathing during sleep) can improve breathing recovery in people living with a spinal cord injury. It aims to see if treating higher carbon dioxide levels and sleep-breathing problems leads to better breathing and recovery.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–89 - NCT05537298Recruiting
Help for muscle recovery after serious ICU illness
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05526417Recruiting
Prehab program before treatment for deep leg soft tissue cancer
This trial tests an individualized “prehab” program (exercises and preparation before treatment) to improve recovery and surgical outcomes for adults with deep soft tissue sarcoma in the leg. It’s meant to help your body be as ready as possible for radiotherapy and surgery.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05497115Recruiting
Care model to improve access to mental health after trauma
This trial tests a practical care plan to help people get mental health support after a traumatic injury, especially if screening suggests risk for PTSD or depression. It may help you connect faster to the right kind of treatment after your injury.
Washington, VirginiaAges 16 years+ - NCT05434130RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing the right exercise amount to help concussion recovery
This study tests whether adjusting how much exercise you do can improve recovery after a concussion. You may be screened to make sure symptoms are still present, and then assigned to an exercise plan that matches the study’s goals.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 13–18 - NCT05379673Recruiting
Breathing changes with extra oxygen after surgery
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen during recovery from general anesthesia changes how you breathe after surgery. You may be offered different oxygen levels around the time you wake up to see what helps your breathing most comfortably.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT05393492Recruiting
Emotion and behavior skills after a brain injury

Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05338697Recruiting
Early testing after stroke to predict recovery outcomes
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05288803Recruiting
