Testing blood levels after carbon monoxide poisoning treatment
This trial studies certain tiny particles in the blood in adults with acute carbon monoxide poisoning. It may help researchers understand what happens in the body and how well hyperbaric oxygen treatment works.
NovaraAges 18–99 - NCT05602636RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve-block pain options during forearm surgery
This trial compares three ways to control pain during forearm surgery: different nerve blocks versus using a PCA pain pump. It may help find the approach that gives better pain relief and comfort after surgery, especially for longer procedures.
DamiettaAges 18–70 - NCT05426681RecruitingPhase 1
Glyburide to protect the spinal cord after injury
This Phase 1 trial tests whether glyburide, a drug used for blood sugar, can help protect nerve tissue after an acute spinal cord injury. It’s mainly focused on safety and early signs that the treatment might be beneficial for people with certain levels of spinal cord damage.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT05476263Recruiting
Negative pressure wound therapy for esophagus or rectum
This trial studies whether a device called Suprasorb CNPendo helps healing of certain full-thickness (through-and-through) injuries or wounds in the esophagus or rectum. It may be an option if your medical team is already considering negative pressure wound therapy for these specific problems.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05351112Recruiting
Shoulder fracture replacement study for adults using a Zimmer Biomet system
This trial studies how safe and well a specific shoulder replacement system works after certain serious shoulder injuries or failed prior treatments. You may be considered if you need shoulder surgery for complex proximal humerus fractures or related post-injury problems, and you can return for follow-up visits.
SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT07037264Enrolling by invitation
Laser treatment for thyroid surgery scars
This study tests if a special laser can improve scars from thyroid surgery. It is for people with fresh or older scars in the middle of the neck.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05614908Enrolling by invitation
Testing outcomes after non-surgical Achilles tendon rupture care
This trial looks at how well people do after an Achilles tendon rupture when they are treated without surgery. It may help improve recovery guidance for others by comparing outcomes based on how care is followed.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05323149RecruitingPhase 3
Tranexamic acid for non-penetrating brain injury after trauma
This Phase 3 study tests whether tranexamic acid can improve outcomes after traumatic brain injury. It may help by reducing bleeding and related damage soon after the injury in adults with mild to moderate cases.
Asyut, AssuitAges 18–65 - NCT05287646Recruiting
Track how your residual limb moves while walking with a prosthesis
This study uses a special X-ray and markers to measure how your leg and skin move inside your prosthetic socket while you walk. It may help researchers better understand fit and comfort for people with transtibial (below-knee) amputations.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05590494Recruiting
New treatment for partial rotator cuff shoulder tears
This trial tests a new approach for people with a partial (not full) tear of the rotator cuff, found on MRI. It may help improve shoulder function if your tear matches the study’s specific size and location rules.
Onalaska, WisconsinAges 25–75 - NCT05616312Recruiting
Study of how patients remember orthopedic injury care
This study looks at how well patients recall details after a bone fracture that required surgery, especially around the time of their injury care and follow-up. It may help improve how orthopedic teams communicate and support patients after trauma.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT05564494Recruiting
Surgery for repeat shoulder dislocations
This trial studies surgical treatment for people whose shoulder keeps dislocating forward (anteriorly). It may help by choosing a surgery plan for the amount of bone loss seen on scans, while excluding people with certain medical or instability patterns.
New York, New YorkAges 16–40 - NCT05473065Recruiting
Test-drive plan for a safer prosthetic foot
This study tests a “test-drive” approach to help improve walking stability using different prosthetic feet. You may be asked to try study prosthetic feet during walking tests to see what helps your balance and comfort.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–89 - NCT04750876Recruiting
Psychological and physical therapy follow-up after leg amputation
This trial tests whether adding both psychological support and physical therapy check-ins before and after leg amputation improves recovery and rehab planning. It may help patients feel better and regain function during the transition to rehabilitation care.
La Roche-sur-YonAges 18 years+ - NCT05169073Recruiting
Virtual reality practice for gallbladder removal surgery
This trial tests whether virtual reality training can help surgeons perform laparoscopic gallbladder removal more effectively. It is meant for people scheduled for planned (non-emergency) gallbladder surgery due to gallstones or long-term gallbladder inflammation.
BaselAges 22–45 - NCT04899466Recruiting
Test graft for closing reopened abdominal surgical wounds
This trial studies ActiGraft to help heal an abdominal surgical wound that has reopened and needs a second closure. It may help the wound close more effectively when the wound is still early but has been open for more than 24 hours.
Kfar SabaAges 18 years+ - NCT05191121Enrolling by invitation
Rehab program to improve arm and trunk control after spinal injury
This trial helps people with recent traumatic spinal cord injury improve arm movement and trunk (upper body) stability using a training program that includes electrical stimulation. If you’re early after injury and can safely use stimulation, you may benefit from more controlled movement for daily tasks.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT04794582Recruiting
Preventing a belly hernia after first kidney transplant
This trial looks at ways to prevent an incisional hernia (a bulge at the surgical scar) after your first kidney transplant. If you’re getting a first transplant, joining could help test treatments or strategies that lower this post-surgery complication.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05013307Enrolling by invitation

Frisco, TexasAges 10–22 - NCT05169814RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Microbubble treatment for certain burn and wound types
This early-stage study tests micro/nanobubbles placed on or used for certain types of difficult wounds, including burns and some pressure or diabetic foot ulcers, especially when there has been tissue injury from radiation.
