Stem cells from your own fat for chronic brain injury
This trial tests whether stem cells taken from your own fat and given through an IV can help people with long-term brain damage from a head injury. It is for adults who have not gotten better with standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT04615104Recruiting
Study of pelvic and hip-joint bone fractures
This study is observing people with pelvic ring and acetabular (hip-joint socket) fractures to better understand what happens over time. It may help doctors improve care, even though it does not test a new treatment.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05926596Recruiting
Leg stretching with an on-demand exoskeleton for spasticity
This trial studies whether a wearable exoskeleton that helps with leg stretching can reduce stiffness and improve movement in people with spasticity after a spinal cord injury. It may help you stretch more safely and comfortably, but you must meet specific health and device-wear requirements.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05933629Recruiting
Training mental health providers to deliver an online TBI group program
This study helps test whether community mental health clinicians can learn and successfully deliver an online emotion-regulation group program for people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help improve access to structured support when in-person group care is hard to reach.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05924178Recruiting
Pre-surgery rehab to improve healing after knee ligament injury
This study looks at whether doing physical therapy before surgery can improve tendon healing, bone density, and joint cushioning after ACL surgery or patellar dislocation surgery. It may help you recover better and faster by optimizing your knee before the operation.
BeijingAges 18–45 - NCT05929911Recruiting
Talk therapy for PTSD in people living with HIV
This trial tests whether trauma-focused psychodynamic talk therapy can reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in people who also live with HIV. It may help by offering structured therapy alongside stable medication.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT05929833Enrolling by invitation
Brain injury education program for recovery at home
This study tests a recovery-focused brain injury education and support program for people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who plan to go home after hospital stay. If you qualify, you and a caregiver/friend may get training and therapy support aimed at improving recovery.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05921175Recruiting
Stimulation and robotic walking training for incomplete spinal injuries
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal area plus robotic gait training can improve walking function in people with a traumatic spinal cord injury who are not walking independently. It’s meant for people with incomplete injuries where some nerve signals still work, and who can safely use the robotic exoskeleton.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–65 - NCT05910567Recruiting
Ultrasound test for abdominal injuries in children after blunt trauma
This study looks at how well an abdominal ultrasound test (FAST) works for children who come to the emergency department after a serious blunt injury to the belly or torso. The goal is to help doctors find dangerous internal bleeding or organ injury quickly and safely.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges Up to 17 years - NCT05936619Recruiting
Brain-computer device for communication in people with paralysis
This trial tests a “brain-computer interface” that aims to help people with paralysis communicate. It involves surgery to place a device and uses frequent follow-ups, including daily help from a caregiver to watch the surgical area and behavior.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT05923931Recruiting
Warm blanket study for people with heat stroke
This trial tests whether a non-cooling blanket can manage body temperature in people with heat stroke, and compares it to standard cooling methods. It may help find a simpler, less intensive way to control dangerous overheating.
Guli, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05361980Recruiting
Study of safety and results of a pediatric bone implant
This study looks at whether a specific pediatric bone implant is safe and works well for children who need it. By joining, you help researchers track outcomes over time and understand possible implant-related side effects.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges birth–25 years - NCT05869851Recruiting
Infant hip ultrasound study: observe vs bracing
This study looks at babies under 3 months old with certain ultrasound findings of an underdeveloped hip (“hip dysplasia”). It compares outcomes between simply watching the hip and using a brace (when recommended).
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges Up to 3 months - NCT05903859RecruitingPhase 3
Study to improve fertility in men after spinal cord injury
This phase 3 study tests a treatment to improve reproductive function (fertility-related measures) in men who have had a traumatic spinal cord injury. If you may be eligible, it could help researchers see whether the treatment improves reproductive outcomes for men with spinal cord injury.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05894265Recruiting
Test collagen patch versus standard care after rotator cuff repair
This study compares a collagen “patch” placed during arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery versus the usual standard repair. It looks at safety and whether the patch improves healing and shoulder function after surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT05898074Recruiting
Testing a new gel during endoscopic skull base surgery
This trial looks at a new RADA16 hydrogel to see if it can help during an endoscopic surgery through the nose for a skull base tumor or a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. You might be a candidate if you are already planned for this specific type of nasal surgery and meet key safety requirements.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05889650Recruiting
External drainage for severe TBI brain swelling
This study tests whether placing an external drainage tube in the lower back can reduce dangerous pressure in the brain after a severe traumatic brain injury. If you meet safety and brain-scan criteria, it may help the research team understand whether this approach is safe early after injury.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT05906004Recruiting
Follow-up study after Pitch-Patch shoulder repair
This study checks how well a Pitch-Patch device is doing to support the rotator cuff (a shoulder tendon). It enrolls people who had the device placed about 2 to 2.5 years ago so the researchers can follow outcomes and safety over time.
ReadingAges 16 years+ - NCT05022485Recruiting
Check infection prevention in high-risk tibia fractures using a special nail
This study follows people age 18+ who broke the tibia (shin bone) and are at higher risk for infection. It compares a standard internal metal nail to a special coated nail to see which one lowers infection problems and supports healing.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT05339360Recruiting
Study of an antibiotic-coated thighbone nail after femur fracture
This study looks at a specific type of thighbone (femur) nail that helps prevent infection, placed during fracture surgery. You may be able to join if you’re having surgery for a femur fracture or needing an osteotomy and your treatment plan includes this nail.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Santa Cruz de TenerifeAges 18 years+ - NCT03621254Recruiting
Finding the best FES training plan after spinal cord injury
This trial studies which kind of electrical muscle stimulation (FES) exercise training works best for people after a spinal cord injury. It may help improve leg muscle activation and training after SCI by comparing different training approaches.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18–75 - NCT05866029Recruiting
Prevention and treatment study for new brittle bone fractures
This study looks at ways to prevent and treat “brittle bone” refractures after a recent fracture in people with osteoporosis. If you’ve had a new hip, spine, or other bone fracture, the trial may test strategies to lower the chance of another fracture.
BeijingAges 45–90 - NCT05848622Recruiting
Gait retraining after ACL surgery for fast knee recovery
This trial tests a walking (gait) rehabilitation program to improve how you move after ACL reconstruction. It may help if you are still having walking mechanics issues in the months to years after surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 16–35 - NCT05877014RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two fixation methods for adult arm shaft fractures
This trial tests whether one surgical technique (for stabilizing the upper-arm bone using a rod placed inside the bone) works better than another for adult humeral shaft fractures. It may help find the approach that leads to better healing and recovery.
