PEMF therapy to reduce pain after shoulder or knee surgery
This trial studies whether PEMF, a type of non-surgical device that uses pulsed electromagnetic fields, can reduce pain after shoulder or knee surgery. If you join, you’ll also be expected to do post-surgery physical therapy exercises and report your pain and function.

Blood flow restriction therapy for an Achilles injury
This trial looks at whether “blood flow restriction” during exercise can improve healing for people with an Achilles injury. You may be asked to also do standard physical therapy, but the study focuses on the added blood-flow-restriction approach.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT04117672RecruitingPhase 2
Test antisecretory treatment in severe brain injury
This Phase 2 study tests an “antisecretory factor” treatment in people with severe traumatic brain injury. It may help by improving harmful processes after injury, but your eligibility depends on specific brain-injury severity and monitoring needs.
LundAges 10–70 - NCT04077346Enrolling by invitation
Testing a brain-to-spine stimulation to help children step
This trial uses a noninvasive neuromodulation approach to stimulate the spinal walking circuits in children after spinal cord injury. It is meant to see whether the treatment can help a child practice stepping when they currently cannot stand or start walking.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 4–12 - 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 - NCT03990909Recruiting
BCAA supplements to help improve sleep
This pilot study tests whether taking BCAA supplements can improve sleep problems. You may be able to join if you’re a veteran with sleep issues and can do the study by phone.
Portland, OregonAges 18–89 - NCT04003311Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up for specific shoulder implant types and surgery
This study checks outcomes in people who already received certain Zimmer Biomet shoulder implant components using the correct surgical technique. It may help improve how these specific implants are used and monitored after surgery.
Boise, IdahoAges 18 years+ - NCT04003272Enrolling by invitation
Reverse shoulder implant study for severely damaged rotator cuff
This trial studies a specialized reverse shoulder implant system for people whose rotator cuff is badly damaged or who had a prior shoulder replacement that failed. It aims to reduce pain and improve function by improving how your shoulder works, especially when the rotator cuff can’t do its job.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT03896464Recruiting
Quadriceps tendon vs hamstring tendon for ACL surgery in teens
This trial compares using a quadriceps tendon graft versus a hamstring graft during ACL reconstruction in children and teens whose growth plates are still open. It aims to see which graft works better after ACL injury while accounting for ongoing bone growth.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 10–18 - NCT03882073Recruiting
Upper arm amputation rehab study to improve hand control and feel
This trial tests a new approach for rehabilitation after an upper-limb amputation to help improve your ability to intentionally control a prosthetic and regain a sense of position (“proprioception”). You may be considered if you are planning an elective upper-arm or below-elbow amputation and can safely have surgery and follow up closely.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT03934905RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sulforaphane supplement to protect the heart during doxorubicin
This trial tests whether a nutritional supplement called sulforaphane (SFN) can help protect heart function in people with breast cancer who are receiving doxorubicin (a chemotherapy that can affect the heart). Participants take caplets and have heart and safety monitoring to see if the supplement reduces heart-related side effects.
Lubbock, TexasAges 18–89 - NCT04002505Enrolling by invitation
Study for low-risk head injury after a bump to the head
This trial studies people with a recent, blunt head injury who are considered low risk and may be getting a head CT scan. It may help improve how doctors decide when CT scans are needed after a concussion or possible brain bleeding.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT03947450RecruitingPhase 2
Injection of your own skin cells into below-knee amputation site
This Phase 2 study tests whether injecting a patient’s own fibroblast cells (skin-support cells) into the wound area after a below-knee amputation can help the stump skin heal and work better. It’s intended for people who already have (or are close to having) a prosthetic fitting.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT03991728Recruiting
TMJ implant registry for adults with a new jaw joint replacement
This registry is for adults getting an artificial (alloplastic) full replacement of the jaw joint (TMJ). It collects real-world information about your implant and care to help improve future outcomes.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT03987334Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab for chronic neck pain
This trial studies whether virtual reality exercises can help reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic neck pain or whiplash. You may be invited to take part in guided VR rehab sessions if you meet the safety and health requirements.
Milan, MIAges 18–70 - NCT03968913RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Biologic shot to prevent knee arthritis after ACL injury
This early-phase trial tests a biologic medicine (anakinra) given after an ACL injury to try to prevent or reduce later osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis). It enrolls young adults who recently tore their ACL and are planning a specific type of ACL reconstruction.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–35 - NCT03883711Recruiting
