Heel lift height and foot pressure with custom braces
This study tests if changing the height of a heel lift in a custom foot brace can improve how weight is distributed on your foot after a serious ankle or hindfoot injury. If you have pain when walking, this could help find better ways to reduce that pain.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–65 - NCT07308587Recruiting
Nerve pain after chest tube for broken ribs
This study looks at nerve pain that can happen after a chest tube is placed to treat broken ribs from an injury. The goal is to understand how common it is and how it affects recovery, so doctors can better support patients.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07521930Recruiting
Brain implant to restore communication and movement control
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT01894802Recruiting
Brain recording and stimulation to help control a computer
This study tests a brain-machine interface that records brain activity and uses stimulation to help people with severe hand/arm movement loss communicate or control tasks using a computer. It may help restore some control and reduce dependence on hands that cannot be used normally.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 22–70 - NCT06888817RecruitingPhase 3
Bevacizumab vs steroids for brain radiation injury
This trial tests if bevacizumab works better than steroids for people with brain swelling caused by radiation. If you have this condition and meet certain health requirements, you may join.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06867809Recruiting
Spinal and brain stimulation for arm movement after neck injury
This study tests whether using a combination of spinal and brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a cervical spinal cord injury (neck area) at least one year ago. It is for those with some remaining movement but not full strength.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06015451Recruiting
Exercise for concussion symptoms and headache
This trial tests whether a carefully supervised exercise program can help people who still have headaches or other symptoms weeks after a mild head injury. If you get symptoms when you try to be active, this study may offer a structured way to help you recover.
TrondheimAges 18–65 - NCT06406855Recruiting
