Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06370520Recruiting
Teen emotions screening after mild brain injury
This study screens teens aged 11 to 17 for emotional and mental health problems after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI, also called concussion or minor head injury). The goal is to find out if the hospital screening helps identify teens who may need extra support.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 11–17 - NCT06328010Enrolling by invitation
Real-world data registry for wound care treatments
This study collects information on various wound types and how they respond to standard care. It aims to learn what works best for wounds that haven't healed after 4 weeks of treatment.
Riverside, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05910567Recruiting
Ultrasound test for abdominal injuries in children after blunt trauma
This study looks at how well an abdominal ultrasound test (FAST) works for children who come to the emergency department after a serious blunt injury to the belly or torso. The goal is to help doctors find dangerous internal bleeding or organ injury quickly and safely.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges Up to 17 years - NCT06070350RecruitingPhase 3
Massive transfusion for life-threatening bleeding in children
This study tests whether adding the drug tranexamic acid (TXA) to a massive blood transfusion helps control life-threatening bleeding in children who are severely injured. It compares two groups: one gets TXA and the other gets a placebo (a dummy drug with no active ingredient).
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges Up to 17 years - NCT05091905Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Tested nerve-block pain pumps after arm or leg surgery
This trial studies whether a timed, stop-and-go pain medicine delivery works better than a steady drip after surgery. It’s done using a small catheter placed near a nerve to help control pain.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04937868Recruiting
Guiding CT scans for belly and pelvis injuries after blunt trauma
This study looks at how to make a better decision tool for when to order a CT scan of the belly and pelvis after a blunt injury in the emergency department. It aims to help clinicians choose the right patients for imaging during the first evaluation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06413173Recruiting
Remote brain stimulation for attention after mild TBI
This trial tests if a remote brain stimulation device can improve attention and concentration in active-duty service members who have had a mild traumatic brain injury. Participants use the device at home while completing tasks to help with daily focus.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT05958342RecruitingPhase 2
Calcium and vasopressin for bleeding shock after major injury
This trial tests whether giving calcium and vasopressin early can improve outcomes in people with major injury who are at risk for life-threatening bleeding shock. It mainly includes patients who need rapid blood transfusion and likely major surgery to stop bleeding.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06293469Recruiting
Speeding up flap surgery for severe leg injuries
This trial tests whether performing flap surgery sooner after a severe leg injury below the knee leads to better outcomes. If you have an open fracture or dislocation that needs a flap, you may be able to join.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05638581RecruitingPhase 3
Compare low-titer type O whole blood for trauma bleeding
This study tests whether giving low-titer type O whole blood (or related blood products) works better for treating serious bleeding after a traumatic injury. It’s for adults who start blood transfusions right away under a massive bleeding plan.

What taking part in a trauma injury study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there trauma injury clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 10 recruiting trauma injury studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a trauma injury study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a trauma injury trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
