Compare hip surgery methods for new pelvic bone fractures
This study compares two ways of fixing a recently broken acetabulum (the hip socket): one method keeps/repairs the socket (ORIF) and the other replaces it (THA). It aims to find which surgery approach leads to better outcomes for people who can have surgery soon after the injury.
Toronto, OntarioAges 60 years+ - NCT07153302Recruiting
Can almonds help heal broken leg bones?
This study tests if eating almonds can help femur (thigh) or tibia (shin) fractures heal faster. If you have a fresh leg break and are 18 to 55, you may be able to join.
KarachiAges 18–55 - NCT07130357Recruiting
Collagen scaffold for Achilles tendon repair
This study tests whether adding a special collagen scaffold during surgery helps heal a torn Achilles tendon better than standard repair alone. The scaffold is made from cow collagen and is placed over the repair to support healing.
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges 18 years+ - NCT06201676RecruitingPhase 4
Low-dose short-term ketorolac to cut opioid use after bone surgery
This study tests whether giving a low dose of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called ketorolac for a short time after orthopedic surgery can reduce the need for strong painkillers like opioids. It is for people who have broken bones that need surgery with metal plates, screws, or rods.

Gastric wash with paraffin oil for aluminum poison
This trial studies whether flushing the stomach with paraffin oil can improve outcomes after symptomatic aluminum phosphide poisoning. It may help by removing or limiting the poison before it causes more harm, but it depends on timing and your current condition.
TantaAges Any age - NCT06459908Recruiting
Robotic glove hand training after median nerve transfer
This study tests whether a robotic glove can help improve hand function in people who have had a median nerve transfer after a traumatic injury. The goal is to see if this type of therapy leads to better recovery.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 19–55 - NCT06506968Recruiting
Ergonomics study for heart lab staff
This study looks at how ergonomics (the way your body moves and feels at work) affect staff in the heart catheterization lab. You might join if you work there and are willing to wear special sensors to track your movements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT06486571Recruiting
Study of a better robotic hand with feeling
This trial tests a new way to control a robotic hand using sensors on your skin and to give you feeling back through mild electrical pulses. It may help people with upper limb amputations have a more natural sense of touch and control.
Budrio, BOAges 18–65 - NCT06522958Enrolling by invitation
New soft food for children after cleft surgery
This study tests a new type of soft food designed to help children with cleft or craniofacial conditions recover better after surgery. The food melts quickly in the mouth, which may make it easier and safer to eat during healing.
New York, New YorkAges 6 months–18 years - NCT06424249Recruiting
Virtual reality vs. standard rehab for balance after below-knee amputation
This study compares virtual reality exercises to standard physical therapy for improving balance in people with one leg amputated below the knee. It may help you regain better balance and confidence in walking.
Le Grau-du-RoiAges 18–80 - NCT03310905Recruiting
Abdominal wall transplant for people needing multi-organ transplant
