GothenburgAges 17–70 - NCT05280639Recruiting
Simpler rehab plan after ankle or tibial plafond fracture
This trial tests whether a simpler “at-home” rehabilitation plan after ankle or lower-leg bone (tibial plafond) fractures works as well as standard care. It may help you recover strength and walking function with less clinic time.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT05267951Recruiting
Closed-loop spinal stimulation to improve hand use after spinal injury
This trial tests a smart form of spinal stimulation that responds to your body’s signals to help improve upper-extremity (arm/hand) function after a spinal cord injury. If it works, it may make everyday hand tasks like dressing, grooming, or feeding easier.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–70 - NCT05276674Recruiting
Study of an antibiotic-coated nail for femur fracture repair
This trial studies whether a special antibiotic-coated nail (ZNN Bactiguard System) can help heal femur (thigh bone) fractures after surgery. It’s mainly for people who need a certain type of nail placed from the knee end and can attend follow-up visits.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, TenerifeAges 18 years+ - NCT05296889Recruiting
Safety follow-up for Ennovate cervical device
This study checks how safely and effectively a cervical device (Ennovate® Cervical) works after it’s been used in routine care. It may help by monitoring real-world safety and performance over time.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05277519Recruiting
Rehab retraining for walking after stroke or brain injury
This study tests a rehab program aimed at improving how the brain learns movement, to help people walk more independently after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. It may help by targeting walking and movement control of the affected leg.
ParisAges 18–70 - NCT02635022Recruiting
Care plan plus bone-medicine monitoring after a fracture
This study tests a structured care service to help people manage osteoporosis after a new bone fragility fracture. It aims to improve how you take bone-protecting medicines and to make sure treatment is followed and monitored over time.
HsinchuAges 50 years+ - NCT05206981Recruiting
Registry of an implanted bone-stabilizing device after trauma
This trial tracks outcomes after doctors implant the IlluminOss bone-stabilizing device for traumatic injuries. It helps researchers understand how the device performs and how well patients heal over follow-up visits, including scans.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 50 years+ - NCT05199870Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for specific hip implant parts
This study follows people who had a particular bipolar hip implant (RingLoc cup and/or Endo II head) placed during a hemi-hip replacement surgery at least 8 years ago. It checks how well the implants keep working over time and why.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05223998Enrolling by invitation
Treating wounds with tiny skin graft columns
This trial studies a technique where doctors place very small “columns” of your own skin to help cover open wounds. It may help people who need tissue coverage, as long as the wound location and wound condition fit the study rules.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT05197764Recruiting
Track muscle growth in young children with spastic cerebral palsy
This study looks at how the muscles in the body grow in infants and young children with spastic cerebral palsy (a type of movement difference). It may help doctors better understand normal growth patterns and how care choices affect muscle development.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 6 months–9 years - NCT05224635Enrolling by invitation
Study of vascular injuries after trauma in adults
This study follows adults who have been diagnosed with a blood vessel injury after trauma. It aims to better understand these injuries and how they are identified and managed soon after coming to a specific hospital.
Dallas, TexasAges 16 years+ - NCT05218993Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new balance and reaction method for football players
This trial tests a new “dual task” training or testing method for professional football players. It may help coaches and players measure balance and reaction under real game-like conditions.
AnkaraAges 14 years+ - NCT05224765Enrolling by invitation
Lowering repeat ER visits after injury in older adults
This trial looks at ways to help people 60 and older have fewer repeat ER or hospital admissions after an injury. You may be a candidate if this is your first (main) hospital admission for a traumatic injury and your care team confirms the study’s specific injury admission type.
Dallas, TexasAges 60–100 - NCT05246813Recruiting
Study blood cell changes in older adults
This study looks at how blood-forming stem cells change in people with clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP), a common age-related blood condition. It may help researchers understand what these changes mean and who might be at higher risk for future blood problems.
Bonheiden, BelgiëAges 55 years+ - NCT05205174Recruiting
Check a scalp sensor to detect brain swelling after injury
This study tests whether a sensor on the scalp can detect a wave of abnormal electrical activity in the brain after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The goal is to help clinicians monitor and possibly treat dangerous pressure build-up in the brain.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT05225792Recruiting
Fast rehab program for leg injuries and amputations
This trial tests a rapid rehabilitation approach for people with certain leg injuries, including amputations and limb salvage, while you are already in standard rehab. It may help improve walking and balance after trauma by using a structured training program.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05244408Recruiting
Blood test study for spinal cord injury recovery
This study looks at blood tests after a spinal cord injury to find markers that may predict recovery. The results could help doctors plan better treatment for future patients.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT05236010Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus cognitive training for mild TBI memory and thinking
This trial studies whether brain stimulation through the scalp can improve cognitive (thinking and memory) training in people with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants train on thinking tasks while receiving a targeted “control network neuromodulation” approach to see if it enhances training results.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–59 - NCT05231460Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
