Breathing machine settings for brain injury patients
This study looks at how different breathing machine settings affect people with new brain or spinal cord injuries who need help breathing. It only includes people with healthy lungs to see which ventilator settings work best.
Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 16 years+ - NCT06183827Recruiting
Drowning breathing failure oxygen trial

Helping caregivers of traumatic brain injury patients
This trial tests if mobile health support (texts and calls) helps caregivers of people with traumatic brain injury after rehab. You may join as the main caregiver if you supervise daily care and have a smartphone or can get one.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06189924Recruiting
Breath analysis in ventilated ICU patients
This study collects and analyzes the moisture you breathe out while on a ventilator in the ICU. It aims to learn more about your condition by examining your breath.
OlomoucAges 18 years+ - NCT06195345Recruiting
Brain oxygen study for children having an MRI
This study looks at oxygen levels in the brains of children and young adults (birth to 18 years) during a standard MRI. The goal is to learn more about how the brain works, and it only adds a few minutes to your child's regular MRI scan.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1 minute–18 years - NCT06193343Recruiting
Steps to prevent osteoarthritis after ACL surgery
This study tests whether increasing your daily steps after ACL reconstruction can help prevent knee osteoarthritis. It involves walking more and tracking your activity over time.
Athens, GeorgiaAges 16–40 - NCT06183437RecruitingPhase 4
Can I stop heart meds after cancer therapy?
This trial tests whether it is safe to stop taking heart failure medications in people who developed heart weakness after cancer treatment but whose heart function has since recovered. It aims to see if stopping these drugs leads to any worsening of heart health.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05856539Recruiting
Numbing nerve block during minimally invasive low back surgery
This trial tests whether an “ESP block” (a numbing injection near the spine) can help control pain during minimally invasive low back fusion surgery. If you’re having this surgery, the goal is to improve comfort and reduce pain medicine needs.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT06162052Recruiting
Home-based rehab with tech for burn recovery
This study tests a home-based rehab program that uses technology (like your phone or tablet) to help you recover from a burn injury. It focuses on burns that affect joints, and aims to improve your movement and healing.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–79 - NCT06165081Recruiting
Emergency care after cardiac arrest and short-term outcomes
This study looks at how care in the emergency room after a cardiac arrest affects short-term recovery. It may help doctors find better ways to treat patients whose hearts have stopped outside the hospital.
Hsinchu, Hsinchu CityAges 20 years+ - NCT06179004RecruitingPhase 3
Numbing medicine comparison for wrist surgery pain
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine) given near the collarbone before wrist surgery to see which provides better pain relief afterward.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06178497Recruiting
5-Year Check-In After ACL Repair
This study checks on people who had ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) repair surgery 5 years ago to see how well their knee is doing. It looks at a specific type of ACL tear (a 'proximal' tear) and helps doctors understand long-term results.
Lille, Choisir Une RégionAges 18 years+ - NCT06178484Recruiting
Surgery versus rehabilitation for a torn ACL
This study compares two ways to treat a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) near the top of the knee. It looks at whether having surgery is better than a non-surgical approach with physical therapy. You may be eligible if your tear is recent and you have no other knee injuries.
Lille, Choisir Une RégionAges 18 years+ - NCT06171386Recruiting
Microneedling vs skin smoothing for early facial scars
This study compares two treatments for surgical scars on the upper face: microneedling (tiny needles that stimulate healing) and dermabrasion (smoothing the skin). It aims to find which method works better for improving scar appearance early on.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06176833Recruiting
Walking therapy early after spinal cord injury
This study tests a special walking program for people who have recently had a spinal cord injury. The goal is to help you recover as much walking ability as possible.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 16–75 - NCT06163547Recruiting
Brain artery treatment for chronic subdural hematoma
This study tests a new way to treat chronic subdural hematomas (a type of bleeding on the brain) by using a very thin tube to seal off a small artery inside the head. This may help the blood clot shrink without needing a traditional surgery.
GenevaAges 18–100 - NCT06181994Recruiting
Middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma
This study looks at a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization, which blocks blood flow to the lining of the brain to help treat a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain surface). The goal is to see how well this procedure works for adults.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06175845Recruiting
Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a minimally invasive treatment using heat (radiofrequency ablation) to destroy cancer cells in the bile duct. It's for patients whose bile duct cancer cannot be removed by surgery and who are also receiving systemic therapy.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05642026RecruitingPhase 4
Continuous nerve block for pain from multiple broken ribs
This study tests a continuous nerve block—a numbing medicine delivered near the nerves—to reduce pain from rib fractures. It may help people with two or more broken ribs manage pain more effectively while recovering.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT03418961RecruitingPhase 3
Study of heart-risk management for metastatic HER2 breast cancer
This trial follows people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who are at higher risk for heart damage while on HER2-targeted therapy. Some participants are randomly assigned to different monitoring/heart-protection approaches to see what best helps keep the heart safe.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04967274Recruiting
Study testing how the spinal cord controls movement after injury
This trial studies how nerve pathways in the spinal cord help control movements in people with spinal cord injury. It may help researchers better understand movement control and could lead to improved rehab strategies.
ZurichAges 18–80 - NCT06149351Recruiting
Saliva test for concussion diagnosis
This study is testing if saliva samples can help doctors diagnose concussions more quickly and accurately. It is open to men in France who may help improve concussion care.
MontpellierAges 18–50 - NCT06150326Recruiting
