Vagus nerve stimulation with physical therapy for consciousness disorders
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (a nerve in the neck) can help people with long-term disorders of consciousness move better during physical therapy. It may be an option if you are still in a coma, vegetative, or minimally conscious state and have been stable for more than 6 weeks.

Pain relief after gallbladder surgery: TAP vs. M-TAPA block
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP and M-TAPA) to see which one provides better pain relief after planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both blocks are injections of numbing medicine around your abdomen to help control pain after surgery.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06933303Recruiting
Distraction for pain in children with burns
This trial tests if using a kaleidoscope can help distract children aged 7-12 from pain during burn dressing changes, in a setting where pain medicine is not usually given. The goal is to see if this simple tool can reduce pain without extra medication.
Empangeni, KwaZulu-NatalAges 7–12 - NCT06933706RecruitingPhase 2
Losartan for better recovery after multi-ligament knee injury
This trial tests if losartan, a blood pressure medication, can improve healing and recovery after surgery for a multi-ligament knee injury. Taking losartan for 30 days after surgery may reduce stiffness and help you get back to your normal activities sooner.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–40 - NCT06935045Recruiting
Drinking alcohol in hot weather study
This trial looks at how drinking alcohol affects your body when it's hot outside. It may help us understand the risks of drinking in the heat.
Thunder Bay, OntarioAges 19 years+ - NCT06936995Recruiting
Comparing pain relief methods for ACL surgery recovery
This trial tests two ways to manage pain after ACL reconstruction: a combination of medications (multimodal analgesia) versus a nerve block in the thigh (femoral block). The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control and recovery.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06937138Recruiting
AI vs surgeon planning for hip fracture screw placement
This trial compares an artificial-intelligence system to standard surgeon planning for placing screws in a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). It tests whether AI can improve the placement of screws that hold the bone together during healing.
WuhanAges 18 years+ - NCT06937242Recruiting
Testing a smarter prosthetic knee for safer walking
This study tests whether a microprocessor-controlled knee can reduce falls in people who walk limited distances. If you use a regular mechanical knee and have a moderate activity level, this trial might help you walk more safely.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06938789Recruiting
Bleeding and confusion after hip fracture in older adults
This study looks at how bleeding after a hip fracture might affect confusion (delirium) in older adults. It will help doctors understand how to better manage bleeding to prevent confusion.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 75 years+ - NCT06939348Recruiting
Ultrasound therapy for patients with consciousness disorders
This trial tests whether ultrasound stimulation can help people with disorders of consciousness, like coma or a minimally conscious state. It aims to improve brain function and recovery for patients who have been injured for over a month.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–79 - NCT06939660Recruiting
Brain-spinal cord stimulation for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if combining brain-computer interface technology with spinal cord stimulation can help improve walking in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It aims to see if this approach works when standard rehab has stopped helping.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 14–65 - NCT06942754Recruiting
Bracing vs. surgery for ACL tears
This study compares two ways to treat a torn ACL: bracing alone or surgery using your own quadriceps tendon. It aims to find which option helps you return to sports best.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 14–39 - NCT06944262Recruiting
Cancer-related stress study for patients and caregivers
This study looks at stress after a cancer diagnosis and asks patients and caregivers what kind of support they want. It may help improve care for people coping with cancer.
Lille, NordAges 18 years+ - NCT06944964Recruiting
Single vs double implant for broken thigh bone near knee
This trial compares using one implant versus two implants to fix a broken thigh bone near the knee in older adults or those with certain health conditions. It aims to see which approach helps people heal better and recover more quickly.
New Westminster, British ColumbiaAges 18–100 - NCT06948591Recruiting
BioBrace® Support in ACL Reconstruction Surgery
This study looks at how well a special tissue support called BioBrace® works when used during ACL reconstruction surgery. It follows patients who have already had the surgery or are planning to have it, to see how their knee recovers over time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 14–70 - NCT06949826RecruitingPhase 4
Buprenorphine for pain after ankle fracture surgery
This trial tests if buprenorphine, a non-opioid pain medicine, works well for people who have not used opioids before. After ankle fracture surgery, you would get buprenorphine instead of stronger opioids to see if it controls pain just as well with fewer side effects.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06950073Recruiting
Second radiation treatment for lung cancer in the chest
This study tests whether giving a second course of radiation to the chest (called retreatment) can control lung cancer that has come back or a new cancer that started there. People who have already had radiation to their chest and are healthy enough for more may be eligible.
Aarhus, JutlandAges Any age - NCT06952738Recruiting
Studying bacteria around hip or knee fracture repairs
This trial looks for bacteria around the implant in patients who need surgery for a broken bone near a hip or knee replacement. It aims to learn if these infections affect healing.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06953674RecruitingPhase 3
Saline versus balanced fluids for traumatic brain injury
This trial compares two types of intravenous fluids (saline vs. balanced crystalloids) given to people with traumatic brain injury when they arrive in the emergency room. The goal is to find out which fluid leads to better outcomes.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT06955026Recruiting
Hockey slideboard and blood flow restriction for ACL rehab
This trial tests if using a hockey slideboard with blood flow restriction (a special band that limits blood flow during exercise) helps recovery after ACL surgery. It may improve muscle strength and function faster.
Odorheiu Secuiesc, RomaniaAges 18–45 - NCT06956339Recruiting
