Noninvasive back stimulation to improve trunk control after spinal cord injury
This study tests a noninvasive kind of back stimulation, used alongside usual therapy, to help improve balance and trunk (core) control after spinal cord injury. It may help people who still have trouble sitting upright or reaching while staying balanced.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 3–12 - NCT04992650Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound imaging during breast reconstruction after mastectomy and radiation
This study uses ultrasound pictures to better understand blood flow in breast reconstruction sites after a mastectomy, when you also need radiation therapy. It may help improve how clinicians monitor and manage healing and treatment effects in this situation.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04982731Enrolling by invitation
Testing reassurance support after a concussion in teens
This study looks at whether a specific reassurance program (“Positive Assurance”) helps teens recover better after a mild concussion. Teens are checked for concussion symptoms, then assigned to different support approaches to see which helps most.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 13–21 - NCT04956536Enrolling by invitation
ACL injury study using your pre-surgery MRI
This trial studies ACL (knee ligament) injuries and how the tibia (shin bone) shifts, using MRI scans taken before surgery. It may help doctors better understand knee instability and improve how ACL injuries are evaluated and treated.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04944693Enrolling by invitation
Study of knee ligament surgery outcomes using MRI details
This study looks at how a specific knee bone alignment issue seen on MRI relates to how well ACL surgery works afterward. It may help doctors better predict outcomes after ACL reconstruction.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT04804293Enrolling by invitation
Testing a wrist scan for carpal tunnel before treatment
This study checks whether a special ultrasound scan can help assess carpal tunnel in one wrist (not both). The results may guide doctors’ understanding of the condition before you get a steroid shot or surgery.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT04770571Enrolling by invitation
Study of posterior neck and upper-back spine fixation systems
This trial studies specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04763720Enrolling by invitation
Therapy for kids with attachment and trauma difficulties
This trial studies a special type of parent-and-child therapy called Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) for children who struggle with relationships or attachment after trauma, including neglect or emotional abuse. It may help families improve safety, closeness, and communication through guided sessions.
Skien, Vestfold Og TelemarkAges 5–99 - NCT04726306Enrolling by invitation
Compare two scoring systems for hyperbaric care quality
This study compares two different ways to rate how well hyperbaric (pressure-based) medical care is being done. It aims to find which scoring method is more accurate and consistent.
Sleepy Hollow, New YorkAges Any age - NCT04650568Enrolling by invitation
Stem cell treatment after ACL ligament surgery
This trial studies whether adding mesenchymal stem cells during ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction helps the knee heal better. You might be eligible if your ACL injury is recent and you’re having a specific type of graft surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–60 - NCT04640727Enrolling by invitation
Surgery comparison for rotated elbow fractures in children
This trial compares two surgical methods for children with a specific type of rotated, fully shifted outer elbow fracture. It aims to find which approach works better for healing and restoring elbow function.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 1–18 - NCT04565366Enrolling by invitation
Study of research care for new spinal cord injuries
This study looks at people after a recent, serious injury—especially a new spinal cord injury—to see how research and clinical knowledge can be improved. Depending on your group (spinal cord injury, other trauma, or healthy), you may be invited to participate if you meet age and injury timing needs.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04498026Enrolling by invitation
Sealant tested to help close a spinal fluid leak opening
This study tests a glue-like dural sealant (Adherus™) to help seal and protect the covering around the spinal cord after a planned opening. It may help prevent or reduce problems related to spinal fluid leaking after certain elective spinal surgeries.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04269447Enrolling by invitation
Collecting samples from people with abdominal aortic aneurysm
This study sets up a long-term biobank by collecting health information and tissue/blood samples from people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It may help doctors better understand what causes aneurysms and how to detect or treat them in the future.
