Houston, TexasAges 50–70 - NCT05986318RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing breathing issues from lung radiation in people with ILD
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications (dexamethasone and N-acetyl cysteine) can reduce breathing problems caused by radiation to lung tumors in patients who have both lung cancer and fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). It aims to find a better way to manage side effects from radiation.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05942339Recruiting
Testing ARC-IM lumbar therapy to help walking after spinal cord injury
This study tests a therapy using an implanted spinal array and a lumbar system (ARC-IM) to support mobility in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It focuses on whether the approach is safe and may improve walking or movement over time.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18–65 - NCT05946577Recruiting
Links tinnitus and hearing changes after head and neck cancer treatment
This study looks at how tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hearing problems may develop after radiotherapy alone or with certain chemotherapy for high-risk head and neck cancer. The goal is to better understand who is more likely to experience these side effects.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05959434RecruitingPhase 2
Therapy program to reduce drinking relapse and PTSD symptoms
This Phase 2 study tests a combined therapy approach for people who have both alcohol use disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It aims to help you process stressful memories and lower the chances of relapse back to heavy drinking.

Catheter system to drain brain fluid in bleeding
This trial tests a special catheter system used to drain cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around the brain and spinal cord) in adults with bleeding into the brain’s fluid spaces. It may help because doctors can use the catheter soon after the bleeding to manage fluid and pressure.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05942638Enrolling by invitation
Tracking how concussion affects college driving over time
This study follows young adults who drive to see how a concussion may affect driving abilities over time. You may be asked to complete driving- and health-related assessments, and the results could help improve safety and guidance after concussion.
Athens, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05966896Enrolling by invitation
Epidural stimulation to help voluntary movement after spinal injury
This trial tests an implanted nerve stimulation approach to help people with certain spinal cord injuries regain more voluntary movement. It may help if your injury pattern and MRI findings suggest there are still usable nerve fibers that can be targeted.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT05943782Enrolling by invitation
Digital onlay fillings made two ways for back teeth
This trial compares two digital manufacturing methods to make ceramic onlay fillings for back (molar) teeth—one method that removes material and one that builds it up. It may help you learn which approach makes more comfortable, effective onlays for teeth needing repair.

Colonic biopsy study in spinal cord injury gut health
This study looks at how the gut (especially nerve function in the bowel and the gut’s protective lining) works in people with spinal cord injury. It uses planned colonoscopy or rectum/sigmoid exams with small tissue samples to understand whether changes in the gut could contribute to health problems.
NantesAges 18–80 - NCT05950022Recruiting
Endoscopic release of the iliopsoas tendon during hip replacement pain
