Lowell, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT07566507Recruiting
High-Energy Laser for Thumb Joint Arthritis
This trial tests whether a high-energy laser can reduce pain and improve function in people with arthritis at the base of the thumb (where it connects to the wrist). The laser is applied to the skin and may help by reducing inflammation and pain without surgery.
BariAges 18 years+ - NCT07568340Recruiting
Supervised versus home exercises for shoulder impingement
This trial compares two ways to treat subacromial impingement syndrome (a common shoulder condition causing pain with overhead movements): supervised rehabilitation sessions versus exercises you do at home. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving shoulder function.

Recovery in Older Adults After Mild Head Injury
This study follows older adults (65+) who had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) to understand how they recover over time. Researchers want to learn what helps seniors bounce back and stay active after a head injury.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 65 years+ - NCT07572734Recruiting
Breathing exercises to help after a concussion in teens
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help the nervous system recover better after a concussion. Kids ages 9–18 who come to the emergency room within 3 days of a concussion may qualify if they have symptoms like dizziness, nausea, tiredness, confusion, anxiety, or sleep problems.
Montreal, QuebecAges 9–18 - NCT07574307Recruiting
Kinesio Tape for Meniscus Knee Injuries
This study tests whether special therapeutic tape (kinesiotape) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with meniscus injuries in the knee. The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that cushions your knee, and this trial sees if the tape can help your body heal without surgery.
BalıkesirAges 18–50 - NCT07576075Recruiting
Comparing two surgical treatments for wrist fractures
This study compares two ways to surgically treat a specific type of wrist fracture (where the break extends into the joint). Researchers will compare a metal plate attached to the inside of the wrist versus an external fixator (a metal frame attached to the outside) to see which helps patients recover better.
Bahawalpur, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–60 - NCT07576829Recruiting
Wrist and shoulder exercises for tennis elbow pain
This study tests whether specific wrist and shoulder exercises can reduce pain and improve grip strength in people with tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow). You'd do resistance exercises and stabilization work to see if they help you regain function.
SādiqābādAges 30–50 - NCT07578532Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests two non-surgical treatments—magnetic and electrical nerve stimulation applied to the skin over the sacrum (base of spine)—to help control bladder overactivity in people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to reduce involuntary bladder contractions and improve bladder control.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07580755Recruiting
Stem cells to help burn wounds heal after skin grafting
This trial tests whether mesenchymal stem cells (a type of healing cell) can help burn wounds recover better when combined with skin grafting. The goal is to improve how well the grafted skin takes and heals.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 18–65 - NCT07581717Recruiting
Hip Socket Surgery Imaging Study for Children
This study uses MRI scans before and after hip socket surgery to measure how the surgery changes the shape and size of the hip joint. It helps doctors understand which surgical technique works best for children with hip dysplasia (a condition where the hip socket doesn't fully cover the thighbone).
IstanbulAges 2–18 - NCT07582510Recruiting
Telehealth vs. In-Person Physical Therapy for Golfer's Elbow
This study compares doing physical therapy exercises at home with video guidance versus attending in-person sessions for medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow). The goal is to see which approach helps reduce pain and improve function better.
Banhā, BenhaAges 18–60 - NCT07583498Recruiting
Treating Muscle Stiffness After Spinal Cord Injury With Oxygen Therapy
This study tests whether brief periods of low oxygen (called acute intermittent hypoxia) can reduce muscle stiffness and tightness that develops after a spinal cord injury. Researchers believe this approach may help improve arm and hand function.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07585916Recruiting
Prenatal Yoga for Pregnant Women
This study tests whether doing yoga during pregnancy is safe and helpful for expecting mothers. Researchers want to see if prenatal yoga can improve pregnancy outcomes and how mothers feel during pregnancy.
Bartın, BartınAges 18 years+ - NCT07588503RecruitingPhase 1
FES Cycling With Blood Flow Restriction for Spinal Cord Injury
This study tests a new exercise method combining electrical stimulation (FES) and controlled blood flow restriction while you cycle. It's designed to improve heart health, blood sugar control, and fitness in people with spinal cord injuries.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–75 - NCT07594821Recruiting
Two approaches to carpal tunnel surgery: comparing outcomes
This study compares two surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome—one that releases pressure on the median nerve in one location versus releasing it in two locations. The goal is to find out which approach works better for relieving symptoms like numbness and tingling in the hand.

Portland, OregonAges 18–89 - NCT07603752Recruiting
Brain implant to restore arm movement in spinal cord injury
This trial tests a wireless implant placed on the brain's surface to help people with cervical (neck-level) spinal cord injuries regain some arm and hand movement. The device reads brain signals and sends them to muscles, potentially bypassing the damaged spinal cord.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07606300Recruiting
Light Training to Help Light Sensitivity After Head Injury
