Magnesium drip to reduce pain in ICU trauma patients
This trial tests whether a magnesium infusion can better control pain in adults who have serious injuries and need intensive care. It compares magnesium as part of pain treatment to standard pain care to see if pain improves and stays controlled.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05785182Recruiting
Scans with eye imaging for open and infected broken bones
This trial studies a special scan technique (using light from an eye camera) to look at healing in open fractures that are infected. It may help doctors better monitor how these difficult injuries respond to treatment.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05794165Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Antithrombin to prevent blood clots after serious trauma
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving antithrombin can better prevent harmful blood clots (venous thromboembolism) after serious injuries. The goal is to reduce clot risk while you’re in the trauma ICU or step-down unit.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05758987Recruiting
Online therapy for PTSD using a computer program
This trial studies a new blended, computer-assisted version of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy for people with PTSD. It may help reduce PTSD symptoms by delivering structured therapy using a computer and online sessions.
StockholmAges 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 - NCT05627908Recruiting
PseAn study for adults with certain organ injuries
This trial is for adults who have had a CT-confirmed injury to the spleen, liver, and/or kidney from blunt or penetrating trauma. The goal is to study this type of injury and compare how patients do after treatment.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05616130Recruiting
Study of abnormal blood immune activation after trauma or elective hip surgery
This study looks at how the body’s blood-related immune system “switches on” in unusual ways after a major injury or elective hip repair. The researchers hope this helps them understand who is at risk for complications and why, by measuring changes in your blood around the time of surgery or hospital treatment.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT03490929RecruitingPhase 4
Ultrasound contrast test for abdominal injuries in children
This trial checks whether a special ultrasound (with contrast) can help doctors evaluate blunt abdominal injuries in children. It may reduce the need for rushed decisions by improving how internal injuries are seen quickly and safely.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges birth–17 years - NCT05225792Recruiting
Fast rehab program for leg injuries and amputations
This trial tests a rapid rehabilitation approach for people with certain leg injuries, including amputations and limb salvage, while you are already in standard rehab. It may help improve walking and balance after trauma by using a structured training program.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 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+ - NCT04842266Recruiting
Light treatment to stabilize pelvic fractures and reduce pain
This trial studies a device called IlluminOss that uses light to help stabilize pelvic fractures and treat pain. It is for people whose pelvic fracture is caused by cancer-related bone damage or frailty, and who already have the IlluminOss pelvic implant planned as part of standard care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT03368092RecruitingPhase 3
Inhaled medication to prevent lung failure after severe trauma
This trial tests whether inhaled dornase alfa can reduce the risk of respiratory (lung) failure in adults with severe trauma who are on a breathing machine in the ICU. If it works, it may help patients spend less time with dangerous breathing complications.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07342270Recruiting
Talk therapy for personality disorders and childhood trauma

Calgary, AlbertaAges 14–120 - NCT05846321Recruiting
Registry for blood vessel injury after trauma follow-up
This study keeps a registry of adults with injuries to blood vessels caused by trauma and tracks follow-up outcomes. Your participation may help doctors better understand how these injuries heal and how to manage them.
