Test of a smart arm prosthesis control system for arm amputees
This trial studies whether the MyoTrain system can help people with a below-elbow (trans-radial) arm amputation control a myoelectric prosthesis using muscle signals. It may help you practice and use a more “thought-to-movement” style control method if you meet the safety and participation requirements.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04883463Recruiting
Brain and spinal stimulation to improve breathing after SCI
This trial tests a neuromodulation treatment to improve breathing in people living with a cervical spinal cord injury who have significant breathing problems. If you qualify, you would have regular weekly testing over many months to see whether breathing and breathing support needs improve.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT02880163Recruiting
Test foam used to stop dangerous internal abdominal bleeding

Testing fresh frozen plasma for traumatic brain injury
This trial tests whether giving fresh frozen plasma (a blood product) soon after a traumatic brain injury can help people recover better. It is for adults aged 18 to 65 with moderate to severe TBI confirmed by CT scan.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–65 - NCT06059586Recruiting
Pre-hab program for women getting pelvic radiation for cancer
This trial tests a pre-rehabilitation (pre-hab) program to help women stay stronger before and during pelvic radiation for certain cancers. The goal is to see if it improves quality of life and reduces treatment side effects.
Avon, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06073886RecruitingPhase 2
Better brain stimulation for long-lasting concussion symptoms
This trial tests whether personalized brain stimulation can help people who have ongoing symptoms more than 20 on a standard concussion scale, such as headaches, dizziness, or trouble concentrating, after a mild head injury in the past year.
Westwood, Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06073106Recruiting
