Low-oxygen breathing to improve leg movement after spinal injury
This study tests whether breathing brief, mild low-oxygen air (under supervision) can improve leg mobility in people with a certain type of spinal cord injury. It may help with regaining movement, especially if you can already move your legs voluntarily but still have mobility limits.

Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT02863250Recruiting
Blood transfusion registry for people needing frequent transfusions
This registry collects information from adults who receive frequent red blood cell transfusions. It may help clinicians understand transfusion needs and improve future care.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT02511158Recruiting
Knee ligament surgery study after ACL reconstruction
This study follows people who have a knee ligament tear and undergo surgery to rebuild the ligament. It may help doctors better understand recovery and outcomes after different surgical techniques.
ParisAges 7 years+ - NCT02918734Recruiting
ACL surgery: compare two ways to secure the tendon graft
This study looks at two surgical methods to attach the tendon graft during ACL reconstruction, using either an Endobutton or metal interference screws. It may help patients by improving how securely the graft is fixed and how well recovery goes.
TrondheimAges 18–55 - NCT02661139Recruiting
Registry of jaw reconstruction for cancer patients who need implants
This study is a “real-world” registry that follows people with jaw problems related to cancer or cancer treatment. It looks at how well jaw reconstruction with dental implants and fixed teeth works when removable dentures are not suitable.
BrugesAges Any age - NCT02920788Recruiting
Rehab program study for mild traumatic brain injury symptoms
This trial studies whether a specific rehabilitation program (“GOALS”) helps veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) who still have thinking or memory problems. It compares the program to usual care, using regular assessments and training over time.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03026816Recruiting
Epidural stimulation to improve function after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether stimulating the nerves in your spine (via an epidural device) can improve rehab-related function after a spinal cord injury. It focuses on people with stable, motor-complete paraplegia and long-term injuries, and it compares how you respond to the stimulation during rehabilitation.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 22 years+ - NCT03160131Recruiting
Rehab program to improve vision after brain injury
This study looks at rehabilitation to improve vision after a brain injury. It may help people with significant vision problems regain everyday visual function.
Copenhagen, HellerupAges 14 years+ - NCT03325946Recruiting
Neuromotor research clinic for people with movement problems
This study is looking at people who have difficulties with movement or muscle control (neuromotor impairment). It may help researchers better understand these problems and improve future care.
Roanoke, VirginiaAges 3 months–18 years - NCT03368092RecruitingPhase 3
Inhaled medication to prevent lung failure after severe trauma
This trial tests whether inhaled dornase alfa can reduce the risk of respiratory (lung) failure in adults with severe trauma who are on a breathing machine in the ICU. If it works, it may help patients spend less time with dangerous breathing complications.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT03024008RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of bone-healing paste from your own cells for broken bones
This trial tests a bone-healing product made from your own tissue (“autologous BonoFill-II”) to help heal difficult fractures or bone gaps that aren’t healing on their own. It’s designed for people who have a serious bone injury in an arm or leg that needs stronger support to regenerate.
AfulaAges 18–80 - NCT03320759Recruiting
Improving recovery after non-traumatic spinal cord injury
This study looks at ways to help people recover after spinal cord injury that was not caused by trauma. It may help by testing an approach that is guided by regular MRI scans and repeat therapy visits.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03328650Recruiting
Study of a specific shoulder plate for broken upper arms
This trial looks at how well a specific metal plate (a proximal humerus plating system) helps heal certain fractures near the shoulder. It may help doctors learn what outcomes to expect after surgery for these types of breaks.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03218332Recruiting
Study of concussion symptoms in professional athletes
This study looks at persistent symptoms after concussions in professional athletes and compares different concussion histories. It aims to understand what contributes to ongoing problems and whether certain patterns can be identified to guide better care.
Toronto, OntarioAges 25–85 - NCT03321370Recruiting
Study of brain swelling after severe head injury surgery
This trial looks at changes in brain activity after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) when patients need emergency skull surgery. The goal is to better understand what happens in the brain after surgery and whether earlier recognition could help care after injury.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06983873Recruiting
Better cervical spine care for stable trauma patients
This trial tests a new way to manage neck injuries in conscious, stable patients during emergency care before reaching the hospital. It aims to see if this approach improves recovery and care after the injury.
AmiensAges 18–65 - NCT07674927Recruiting
Rhythmic music to improve walking after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic music can help people with spinal cord injury walk more smoothly. You will walk while wearing special headphones that play music timed to your steps.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06819904Recruiting
Combined talk therapy and balance rehab for mild TBI
This trial tests a new type of therapy that combines acceptance and commitment therapy (a counseling approach) with vestibular rehabilitation (exercises for balance and dizziness). It's designed for people with mild traumatic brain injury who still have symptoms like dizziness, anxiety, or memory problems.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–49 - NCT07675655Recruiting
Mulligan vs. PNF exercises for shoulder pain
This trial compares two hands-on therapy techniques for people with shoulder impingement (pain when lifting the arm). It tests if one method works better for reducing pain and improving movement.
Sohag, TahtaAges 20–40 - NCT07453537Recruiting

PET-MRI scan study for ongoing brain injury symptoms
This trial uses special brain scans (PET and MRI) to study chronic symptoms after a past traumatic brain injury (TBI), such as memory trouble, mood changes, and headaches. It may help researchers understand what’s going on in the brain and how it relates to symptoms like anxiety or distress.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT03225625Enrolling by invitation
Stem cell, virtual reality, and training after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether stem cell treatment along with virtual reality–based training can improve function after spinal cord injury that is not expected to recover with standard care. It’s designed for adults who are medically stable and can safely complete follow-up assessments.
