Recruiting studies
- NCT07480655RecruitingPhase 4
CO₂ gap guided treatment for severe injury patients
This trial tests if using a carbon dioxide measurement (the 'CO₂ gap') helps doctors give better fluids and care to adults with serious injuries from accidents or violence. It aims to improve recovery in the ICU.
Islamabad, FederalAges 18–70 - NCT04092504Recruiting
Recovery program for older adults after physical trauma
This study looks at an “optimized recovery” plan for people age 65 and older who are in the hospital because of physical trauma. It may help improve how you recover in the hospital, but you must be able to communicate and not be receiving palliative (comfort-focused) care.
GothenburgAges 65 years+ - NCT06216873Recruiting
Studying movement and survival in multiple trauma patients
This trial collects information from people with multiple injuries (multiple trauma) to see how their ability to move affects their chances of survival. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best for recovery.
Chiayi CityAges Any age - NCT05751863Recruiting
Sedation-first vs usual care in ventilated trauma patients
This study compares how pain medicine and calming medicine are started in critically injured (trauma) adults who are on a breathing machine. It aims to see whether a specific “analgesia-first” approach can improve comfort and support breathing weaning.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07219290Enrolling by invitation
Lung function study based on birth order in the litter
This study looks at how your lung function might be related to your position in your mother's litter. It may help us understand more about breathing health.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT05588791Recruiting
Whole-body CT in the ER to spot low-risk trauma patients
This study looks at whether doing a whole-body CT scan in the emergency room can help identify adults who are at low risk after a road accident or fall. It may help doctors decide who can be managed with less intensive testing or monitoring.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT06078371Recruiting
Opioid-free pain treatment after broken bone surgery
This study compares standard pain treatment using opioids to a new opioid-free pain block for people who had surgery for broken bones. The goal is to find safer, non-addictive ways to manage pain after trauma.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06311604Recruiting
Inhaled sedation safety for head trauma patients
This trial tests a new way to give sedation through a breathing mask (isoflurane gas) to people with severe head injuries. It aims to see if this method is safe and may help when IV sedatives alone are not enough.
Grenoble, Choisir Une RégionAges 18 years+ - NCT06527521Recruiting
Checking for amyloidosis in trauma surgery patients
This study is looking for people having planned trauma surgery to see if they have a hidden condition called amyloidosis. It may help find the disease early, especially in people with certain health risks.
Sant Pere de Ribes, BarcelonaAges Any age - NCT06643325Recruiting
Gastric emptying after traumatic injuries
This study looks at how quickly the stomach empties after a traumatic injury. It may help doctors understand digestion in injured patients.
WinterthurAges 18 years+ - NCT06744985Recruiting
Comparing two scoring tools for trauma outcomes
This trial compares two scoring systems (RTS and MGAP) to see which one better predicts recovery, need for intensive care, or complications in people who arrive at the hospital within 6 hours of a traumatic injury.
BaghdadAges 18 years+ - NCT05616312Recruiting
Study of how patients remember orthopedic injury care
This study looks at how well patients recall details after a bone fracture that required surgery, especially around the time of their injury care and follow-up. It may help improve how orthopedic teams communicate and support patients after trauma.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT06201676RecruitingPhase 4
Low-dose short-term ketorolac to cut opioid use after bone surgery
This study tests whether giving a low dose of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called ketorolac for a short time after orthopedic surgery can reduce the need for strong painkillers like opioids. It is for people who have broken bones that need surgery with metal plates, screws, or rods.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT05587517RecruitingPhase 2
Support for family decision-makers of critically ill patients
This Phase 2 study tests interventions to support family surrogate decision-makers when a loved one is very sick in the ICU and is nearing end-of-life. It may help by reducing distress and pre-loss grief through structured support delivered by phone or video.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07227181Recruiting
Animal assisted therapy for trauma and surgery patients
This study tests whether spending time with a therapy dog can help patients recover from trauma or emergency general surgery. It may reduce stress and improve healing.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 4–99 - NCT06983873Recruiting
Better cervical spine care for stable trauma patients
This trial tests a new way to manage neck injuries in conscious, stable patients during emergency care before reaching the hospital. It aims to see if this approach improves recovery and care after the injury.
AmiensAges 18–65 - NCT06793644Recruiting
ICG dye imaging for open fractures and infections
This trial tests if injecting a special dye (ICG) during surgery can help doctors see blood flow and infection in open fractures or infected bone areas. The dye glows under a special camera, which may guide better treatment decisions.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT03687528Recruiting
CT-scan in adults with head injury on blood thinners
This study looks at whether getting a CT scan is required when someone has a head injury and is already taking medicine that prevents platelets from clotting. It may help doctors safely decide who truly needs immediate imaging after certain head injuries.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06195540RecruitingPhase 3
Rivaroxaban versus LMWH for leg injuries needing a cast
This trial compares two blood thinners (rivaroxaban pills versus LMWH shots) to see which is better at preventing blood clots in people with leg injuries that require a cast or brace. If you qualify, you can receive one of these treatments while your leg heals.
AgenAges 18 years+ - NCT07490418Recruiting
Brain injury screening for mild head trauma or neurological symptoms
This trial tests a device (TES HT100) to screen for brain injuries in people with mild head trauma or certain neurological symptoms. It aims to quickly identify who might need imaging or follow-up care.
Castel Volturno, CEAges 18 years+ - NCT06930820Recruiting
