Understanding what affects survival after severe belly injury
This study looks at patients with severe injuries to the belly area to find out which factors affect whether they survive their hospital stay. The goal is to improve care for people with these serious injuries.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 16 years+ - NCT07842458Recruiting
Monitoring brain activity after traumatic brain injury
This trial monitors brain activity with special electrodes after a severe head injury. It aims to understand how the brain recovers by watching the electrical signals, which might help improve treatment for brain pressure.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07849062Recruiting
Robot-assisted physiotherapy for spinal cord injury
This study tests whether intensive physiotherapy with a robotic exoskeleton helps people with spinal cord injuries improve movement and function. The robot supports your legs while you practice walking, aiming to boost recovery.
NevşehirAges 18–55 - NCT07845136Recruiting
Riddles to reduce pain and fear during child cast placement
This study tests whether solving riddles during cast placement helps children feel less pain, fear, and anxiety. It is a simple, non-drug approach that may make the experience more comfortable for your child.
Kilis, CentralAges 6–12 - NCT07850570Recruiting
Custom jaw plates for jaw fracture repair
This trial tests two types of custom-made plates used to fix broken jawbones. One is titanium (a strong metal) and the other is PEEK (a medical plastic). Both are shaped to fit your jaw. The goal is to help the bone heal properly after surgery.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 18–50 - NCT07849465RecruitingPhase 2
Oxygen therapy for veterans with brain injury and lasting symptoms
This study tests whether breathing high-pressure oxygen (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help veterans who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are dealing with ongoing issues like memory or concentration problems. It also looks at whether this treatment affects certain markers in the blood that may relate to brain health.
Boise, IdahoAges 18–75 - NCT06414005RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
TPX-115 injection for partial-thickness rotator cuff tear
This trial tests an injection called TPX-115 for people with a partial-thickness rotator cuff tear (a shoulder tendon injury that doesn't go all the way through). It may help reduce pain and improve movement if you've had shoulder problems for more than 3 months despite other treatments.
