RomaAges 18–80 - NCT05673551Enrolling by invitation
VR during at-home burn dressing changes for kids
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can help children feel better during daily burn dressing changes at home. It will study comfort and pain around the first time you do dressings after leaving the hospital.
Columbus, OhioAges 6–17 - NCT05619822Enrolling by invitation
Third-steps therapy for psychosis and PTSD symptoms
This study tests a structured therapy program for people who have both psychosis symptoms and high PTSD symptoms. It aims to reduce distress from past trauma while also supporting mental health symptoms.
Pozuelo de Alarcón, MadridAges 18–65 - NCT05616910Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Inhaled nitric oxide for microvascular problems after brain injury
This Phase 2 study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide can improve tiny blood-flow problems in the brain after traumatic brain injury. If you qualify, you may receive inhaled nitric oxide and be monitored for safety and recovery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT05612828Enrolling by invitation
Testing training mannequins for military medics
This study tests whether using simulation mannequins improves training for military medics during a lifesaving first-aid course. You may be considered if you’re actively enrolled in this training and willing to join the study.
KladnoAges Any age - NCT05600868Enrolling by invitation
Testing dual attention during EMDR therapy for PTSD
This study tests whether adding “dual attention” to EMDR therapy helps people with high PTSD symptoms. If you have significant PTSD symptoms, this approach may improve how well the therapy works, but it depends on safety and recent treatment history.
Pozuelo de Alarcón, MadridAges 18–65 - NCT05587244Enrolling by invitation
Hip liner study for people getting a hip replacement
This study looks at a specific type of hip replacement liner (the part inside the hip joint) and how well it works after surgery. You might be eligible if you’re planning a one-sided hip replacement and don’t have certain infection, bone, or health problems that could affect healing.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT05583448Enrolling by invitation
Study of a radial head elbow implant after elbow surgery
This trial follows people who already received a specific radial head elbow implant (Explor Radial Head System) to see how it performs over time. It may help improve care for elbow problems like arthritis or injuries that caused pain and limited movement.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT05566470Enrolling by invitation
Study of brain-muscle changes after major rotator cuff surgery
This study looks at how the brain and muscles work, along with mood and pain, in people after rotator cuff surgery for a major tear. It may help researchers understand recovery problems and psychological effects that can happen after surgery.
AnkaraAges 30–65 - NCT05548972Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up study of a hip replacement to improve implant wear
This study checks how well a specific hip replacement bearing surface (called dual mobility with Vivacit-E or Longevity) performs over time in real-world patients. It may help people by tracking long-term safety and performance to guide better hip replacement choices.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18–80 - NCT05542628Enrolling by invitation
Baseline concussion testing for football players
This study sets up “starting point” measurements for concussion-related tests in football. It enrolls players who currently do not have a suspected or confirmed concussion, so researchers can compare future test results if a concussion is suspected later.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05527041Enrolling by invitation
Portable eye test device for mild concussion after injury
This study tests a portable device that uses eye checks to assess people with a mild concussion after a head or body impact. It may help find concussion-related changes in settings like deployment or far-forward locations.
West Point, New YorkAges 17–35 - NCT05521958Enrolling by invitation
Gene activity study in severe leg muscle swelling after fracture
This study looks at gene activity (what genes are “turned on or off”) in the lower leg in people with acute compartment syndrome after a tibia (shin bone) injury. The goal is to better understand what is happening in the body and potentially guide future treatment decisions.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–90 - NCT05500066Enrolling by invitation
Shoulder implant study for people needing shoulder replacement
This trial studies a specific shoulder replacement implant system. It may help people with damaged shoulder joints by testing how well the implant works and how it affects recovery and function.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05461157Enrolling by invitation
Silicone ointment before head or neck surgery to improve healing
This trial studies whether applying a silicone ointment before and around the time of planned head or neck surgery can improve how your wound heals after surgery. It may help reduce problems like poor scar healing, but you can only join if you meet specific medical and safety requirements.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05352139Enrolling by invitation
TenJet treatment for chronic tendon pain
This trial studies a device (TenJet hydroresection) used to treat long-lasting tendon pain by targeting damaged tendon tissue. It may help people whose tendon pain has not improved after several months of non-surgical care.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT05299736Enrolling by invitation
Study of the effects of boat rides on onboard crew
