Studying factors and care quality after severe brain injury
This study looks at how outcomes and care quality vary for people with serious acquired brain injuries while in a rehabilitation unit. It may help clinicians understand what care works best and why.
AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT04923477Recruiting
Exercise study for shoulder tendon pain and pinching
This trial studies a specific therapeutic exercise program for rotator cuff tendon pain and subacromial pain (a pinching-type shoulder problem). It also looks at what changes in your symptoms and body function after the exercises.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT04879862Recruiting
Study of walking and bladder recovery after recent spinal injury
This study looks at how leg movement and bladder function change after an acute spinal cord injury. It’s meant for adults who recently injured their spine and cannot stand or move their leg joints on their own.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–65 - NCT04869059Recruiting
tDCS for mild brain injury memory word finding
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) can improve word-retrieval problems after a mild or moderate concussion-like brain injury. It may help if testing shows trouble finding the right words when speaking.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT04855396Recruiting
Study of blood markers during hyperbaric oxygen brain injury care
This trial looks at blood “biomarkers,” or lab measurements, while people receive hyperbaric oxygen treatment for brain injury as part of the main HOBIT study. It may help researchers understand who benefits and why by improving how treatment responses are tracked.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 16–65 - NCT04889924Recruiting
Lymph node surgery vs radiation after chemo for breast cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat the underarm lymph nodes in people whose sentinel lymph node still shows limited cancer after chemotherapy and hormone treatment. It may help find which approach controls cancer better with fewer side effects.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04923984Recruiting
Procedure to stop bleeding in a brain bleed using a small plug
This trial looks at a minimally invasive procedure that may stop bleeding in the space between the brain and its outer covering (a subdural hematoma). It’s being offered to people being evaluated in Canada, and the main goals are to see if the approach is safe and practical for routine use.
Winnipeg MB, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT04901234RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive radiation for advanced throat cancer
This study tests an approach called “adaptive radiotherapy,” where the radiation plan may be adjusted based on how your tumor and anatomy look during treatment. It is for adults with biopsy-proven oropharyngeal (throat) squamous cell carcinoma who are planning curative radiation, with or without chemotherapy.
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT04855214Recruiting
Sharing experiences using an upper-limb prosthesis
This study looks at what it feels like to use an upper-limb prosthesis over time. It may help researchers understand user experiences and improve prosthesis support and training.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04887688Recruiting
Electrical bandage for chronic wound treatment
This trial tests a new bandage that uses a mild electrical current to help heal chronic wounds. It's for veterans with spinal cord injuries or diabetes who have wounds that haven't healed.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04867317RecruitingPhase 3
Growth hormone treatment for veterans with mild traumatic brain injury and hormone deficiency
This study tests whether giving growth hormone, a natural substance that helps the body grow and repair tissues, can improve symptoms in veterans who have both a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) and a deficiency in growth hormone. If you qualify, you may receive the treatment or a placebo (inactive shot), and the study will track your quality of life and symptoms over time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21–55 - NCT03310905Recruiting
Abdominal wall transplant for people needing multi-organ transplant
This study evaluates an abdominal wall transplant (replacing the front belly/tissue) done along with another organ transplant. It may help people who need a specialized transplant approach, but it’s only for certain candidates at Duke who meet strict safety and cancer, pregnancy, and anesthesia requirements.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–65 - NCT04804293Enrolling by invitation
Testing a wrist scan for carpal tunnel before treatment
This study checks whether a special ultrasound scan can help assess carpal tunnel in one wrist (not both). The results may guide doctors’ understanding of the condition before you get a steroid shot or surgery.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT04809064Recruiting
Compare open vs arthroscopic surgery for unstable shoulder with bone loss
This trial compares two surgery approaches for people with a traumatic, unstable (dislocating) shoulder when they also have moderate bone loss. It may help identify which method restores stability better and with fewer problems for the right patients.
Tempe, ArizonaAges 17–50 - NCT04831164Recruiting
Study of shoulder rotator cuff tears and genetics
This study looks at how genes and risk factors relate to rotator cuff tears by comparing people with and without these tears. It may help researchers understand why tears happen and who is most at risk.
Iowa City, IowaAges 40–85 - NCT04795843Recruiting
Exercise and education versus usual care for hip dysplasia
This trial compares a structured exercise and patient education program with standard care in people with hip dysplasia. It may help improve hip and groin pain and function, especially if you are not getting the usual surgery (periacetabular osteotomy, or PAO).
Aarhus NAges 18–50 - NCT04842266Recruiting
Light treatment to stabilize pelvic fractures and reduce pain
This trial studies a device called IlluminOss that uses light to help stabilize pelvic fractures and treat pain. It is for people whose pelvic fracture is caused by cancer-related bone damage or frailty, and who already have the IlluminOss pelvic implant planned as part of standard care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT04825587Recruiting
Study after first ACL reconstruction in children
This study looks at children’s outcomes after their first ACL ligament surgery using a specific graft (quadriceps tendon). It may help doctors compare and improve how ACL repairs are done in growing kids with open or closing growth plates.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 18 years - NCT04822558Recruiting
3D foot scan after reconstructive ankle and foot surgery
This trial tests whether a detailed 3D foot model (made from measurements/scans) can better predict outcomes after certain reconstructive ankle and foot surgeries. You may be able to join if you’re already scheduled for one of these surgeries and can meet walking and measurement requirements.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT04806620Recruiting
Online app study for brain inflammation lifestyle data
This study uses a digital platform (app/website) to collect lifestyle and symptom information to better understand brain inflammation. You may qualify if you have certain conditions like Long COVID, migraines, autoimmune disease, inflammatory gut issues, mood disorders, or if you are a healthy comparison person.
Delafield, WisconsinAges 2 years+ - NCT04796350Recruiting
Medicine after hip surgery to help prevent a second hip fracture
This trial tests AGN1 LOEP (a medicine/device placed at the hip surgery site) to help prevent another hip fracture after you’ve had a low-energy hip fracture. You must be eligible for hip repair surgery and be at higher risk for another fracture, with no key exclusions like active cancer or serious kidney disease.
InnsbruckAges 65–91 - NCT04746729Recruiting
Using past radiation records to study heart and lung effects in kids
This study looks back at children’s radiation treatments to understand long-term heart and lung side effects from modern radiotherapy. It may help doctors better plan safer radiation for future patients.

Therapy for kids with attachment and trauma difficulties
This trial studies a special type of parent-and-child therapy called Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) for children who struggle with relationships or attachment after trauma, including neglect or emotional abuse. It may help families improve safety, closeness, and communication through guided sessions.
