Liposomal bupivacaine nerve block for rotator cuff surgery
This study tests whether a long-lasting numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) works better than standard pain relief for people having rotator cuff surgery. It aims to lessen pain after surgery so you may need fewer pain pills.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06138548Enrolling by invitation
Study of a reinforced knee implant for bone weakness
This trial tests a new, reinforced knee implant for people with a specific type of knee bone weakness. It's for those who already need a knee scope procedure for problems like a meniscal tear or loose cartilage.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06115291Enrolling by invitation
Smell training study for adults with smell loss
This study tests whether a daily smell training routine can help improve your sense of smell. It is open to adults with any kind of smell loss or problem, including those with conditions like COVID-19 or head injury, but not certain brain diseases.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18–80 - NCT06114368Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two surgeries for torn Achilles tendon
This trial compares two types of surgery for a fresh Achilles tendon tear: a keyhole procedure using a nearby tendon, versus a minimally invasive repair. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery.
Náousa, Central MacedoniaAges 18–75 - NCT06055712Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Antibiotics for children with open fractures
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics can prevent infections in children with mild open fractures (grade 1 or 2) that don't need surgery. It aims to find a safer, simpler treatment plan.
St Louis, MissouriAges birth–17 years - NCT05989906Enrolling by invitation
Sprint interval training during spinal cord injury rehab
This study tests whether a program of short, intense arm exercise (sprint interval training) is safe and doable for people with spinal cord injury who are in the hospital for rehab. If you are eligible, you would do the exercise sessions during your stay.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–65 - NCT05987735Enrolling by invitation
Blame-Less program for trauma-related shame and guilt
This study tests a 7-week psychoeducation program called BLAME-LESS to help people who feel guilt or shame after a traumatic event. It aims to reduce these feelings by providing clear information on trauma responses.
Almelo, OverijsselAges 12–18 - NCT05971433Enrolling by invitation
Studying how body stress signals affect sleep and heart health
This study looks at how “stress signals” in the body after an injury may affect sleep and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health. It may help researchers understand what contributes to recovery and how to improve outcomes for wounded service members.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05966896Enrolling by invitation
Epidural stimulation to help voluntary movement after spinal injury
This trial tests an implanted nerve stimulation approach to help people with certain spinal cord injuries regain more voluntary movement. It may help if your injury pattern and MRI findings suggest there are still usable nerve fibers that can be targeted.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT05943782Enrolling by invitation
Digital onlay fillings made two ways for back teeth
This trial compares two digital manufacturing methods to make ceramic onlay fillings for back (molar) teeth—one method that removes material and one that builds it up. It may help you learn which approach makes more comfortable, effective onlays for teeth needing repair.
CairoAges 18–50 - NCT05942638Enrolling by invitation
Tracking how concussion affects college driving over time
This study follows young adults who drive to see how a concussion may affect driving abilities over time. You may be asked to complete driving- and health-related assessments, and the results could help improve safety and guidance after concussion.
