Vibegron for children with nerve bladder using intermittent catheter
This study tests how well and how safely vibegron works long-term in children (ages 2 to under 18) with a nerve-related bladder condition, who regularly use intermittent catheterization. It also tracks how the body processes the medicine and whether it helps bladder control over time.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 2–17 - NCT05500066Enrolling by invitation
Shoulder implant study for people needing shoulder replacement
This trial studies a specific shoulder replacement implant system. It may help people with damaged shoulder joints by testing how well the implant works and how it affects recovery and function.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05501210Recruiting
Knee vibration therapy for ongoing front-of-knee pain after ACL surgery
This trial studies whether a vibrating device on the front of the knee can reduce persistent pain after ACL reconstruction. It may help people whose pain is focused in one knee and isn’t caused by arthritis or other knee problems.
Hong KongAges 18–60 - NCT05461157Enrolling by invitation
Silicone ointment before head or neck surgery to improve healing
This trial studies whether applying a silicone ointment before and around the time of planned head or neck surgery can improve how your wound heals after surgery. It may help reduce problems like poor scar healing, but you can only join if you meet specific medical and safety requirements.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05484557Recruiting
Apixaban vs enoxaparin to prevent blood clots after spinal cord injury
This trial studies whether apixaban works as well as enoxaparin to prevent dangerous blood clots after spinal cord injury. If you qualify, you would take one of these medicines to lower clot risk during the recovery period.
RaananaAges 18 years+ - NCT05484739Recruiting
Testing cooling methods for heat waves in older adults
This study looks at how different cooling methods affect older adults during heat waves. It may help identify safer ways to reduce heat-related stress for people at risk.
Dallas, TexasAges 65 years+ - NCT05465070Recruiting
Heat therapy trial for leg blood-flow problems
This trial studies whether applying heat to your legs can improve symptoms and function in people with peripheral artery disease (reduced blood flow to the legs). You may be tested with a simple blood-flow check and an MRI scan, depending on eligibility.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 50 years+ - NCT05488054Recruiting
Checking oxygen levels and blood counts during ACL rehab
This study measures oxygen levels in your muscles and hemoglobin (a blood protein that carries oxygen) while you recover after arthroscopic hip surgery. It may help researchers understand how the body responds during rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery.
Avon, OhioAges 14–30 - NCT05472584Recruiting
Spinal stimulation with training for leg movement after injury
This study tests whether spinal cord stimulation combined with training can improve your ability to move your legs and do daily tasks. You may be able to join if you have a traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury (or, in some cases, if you’re a healthy volunteer).
St Louis, MissouriAges 16–65 - NCT05461326Recruiting
Compare two tendon grafts for ACL surgery recovery
This study compares two ways to rebuild the ACL using different tendon grafts (quadriceps tendon vs patellar tendon) taken from your own body. It aims to learn which option leads to better recovery after ACL reconstruction, including strength and function.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 14–65 - NCT05487677Recruiting
Add-on repair technique for shoulder replacement
This study looks at an extra repair step (augmentation) done during total shoulder arthroplasty, which is a full shoulder replacement. It may help improve how the repaired shoulder works after surgery.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05467215RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brief oxygen breathing trial after spinal cord injury
This early-phase study tests whether a short period of breathing extra oxygen (hyperoxia) soon after lying in one position can improve physical function in people with long-term spinal cord injury. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether this treatment can help your body work better after chronic injury.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–65 - NCT03490929RecruitingPhase 4
Ultrasound contrast test for abdominal injuries in children
This trial checks whether a special ultrasound (with contrast) can help doctors evaluate blunt abdominal injuries in children. It may reduce the need for rushed decisions by improving how internal injuries are seen quickly and safely.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges birth–17 years - NCT05005026Recruiting
Online walking program to ease nerve pain after spinal cord injury
This study tests a virtual, at-home walking exercise program to reduce long-lasting nerve pain after spinal cord injury. It may help if your pain has been present for months and you can safely use the online walking sessions without significant side effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05454787Recruiting
Testing Ondexxya for emergency reversal of blood thinners
This study looks at Ondexxya, a medicine used to reverse the effect of certain blood thinners during a dangerous bleeding emergency. It may help doctors better understand how to manage life-threatening bleeding caused by apixaban, rivaroxaban, or edoxaban.

Implant test for severe partial rotator cuff shoulder tears
This study tests whether a specific implant (the REGENETEN bioinductive implant) helps heal severe partial-thickness rotator cuff tears in the shoulder. You might benefit if you have a high-grade tear that didn’t improve after months of physical therapy.
Rome, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05436600Recruiting
Exercise program for people with narrowed neck arteries
This trial studies whether a supervised exercise program can improve mobility and balance in people who have narrowed carotid arteries in the neck but no stroke symptoms. If you fit the criteria, the goal is to see whether exercise helps your movement and safety without increasing risks.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–89 - NCT05437575RecruitingPhase 3
Testing pain medicine given before arrival to a trauma center
This study tests whether giving pain medicine soon after an injury (before you reach the trauma center) improves comfort and care. You might be eligible if you’re transported to a participating trauma center and meet specific shock and pain levels.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05458947Recruiting
Physical therapy wound treatments for spinal cord injury sores
