Two approaches to gait training for above-knee amputees
This study compares two methods of physical therapy for people with above-knee (thighbone) amputations: one focuses on improving specific movements, the other on practicing everyday walking tasks. Researchers want to see which approach helps patients walk better with a prosthetic leg.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–40 - NCT05970406Enrolling by invitation
High-intensity swallow therapy after ischemic stroke
This trial tests a more intensive swallow-therapy program for people with difficulty swallowing soon after an ischemic stroke. It may help improve safety and function when eating and drinking.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT07204119Recruiting
Comparing two therapies for knee stiffness after fracture surgery
This trial tests two physical therapy techniques to help people regain knee movement after surgery for a broken leg bone. It may help if you are still having trouble bending or straightening your knee a few weeks after your operation.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–40 - NCT06009978Recruiting
Added muscle stimulation after Achilles tendon rupture
This trial tests whether adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to standard care helps people recover better after an Achilles tendon rupture. It might improve strength and function in the leg.
Mölndal, VGregionAges 18–65 - NCT06966544Recruiting
Imagery training for children with brachial plexus injury
This study tests whether graded motor imagery training — a type of mental practice involving imagining movements — can help children aged 7–18 with a brachial plexus injury that happened at birth. It could offer a new way to improve movement without needing hands-on therapy.
Izmir, MenemenAges 7–18 - NCT07549113Recruiting
Preoperative prep methods for large abdominal wall hernias
This trial compares different ways to prepare your body before surgery to repair a large hernia (bulge in your abdominal wall). The goal is to find the best approach to help you heal well after surgery.
Krasnodar, Krasnodarskiy KrayAges 18 years+ - NCT05156749Recruiting
Short vs long casts for certain forearm fractures in kids
This study compares short-arm versus long-arm fiberglass casts to see which one works best for healing certain forearm bone injuries in children. It may help families choose a cast type that supports proper healing while aiming for comfort and safe recovery.
ZurichAges 4–16 - NCT07084740Recruiting
Study of blood flow in skin flaps for reconstruction
This study looks at how blood flows through special skin flaps used in reconstructive surgery. It may help doctors better understand and predict how these flaps heal, especially for people who need repair after injuries or pressure sores.
MontpellierAges 18–70 - NCT07386366Recruiting
Testing triclosan-coated stitches for wisdom tooth surgery healing
This trial compares how well wounds heal after removing impacted wisdom teeth using stitches coated with triclosan (a germ-fighting agent) versus regular stitches. It aims to see if coated stitches reduce bacteria and improve healing.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18–35 - NCT07618884Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgical repair for inguinal hernia
This trial tests a newer surgical technique called TREPP to repair inguinal hernias (bulges in the groin area). The approach may reduce pain and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07190456Recruiting
Study on fear of movement after ACL surgery
This study looks at different types of fear people might feel after ACL surgery, especially when doing jumping tasks. It aims to help understand these fears better so rehab can be improved.
Caparica, AlmadaAges 18–35 - NCT05216731Recruiting
Compare bypass versus stent treatment for leg artery blockages
This study compares two ways to treat long blockages in the superficial femoral artery (a main artery in the thigh): bypass surgery versus an endovascular (stent/through-a-vessel) procedure. It may help people with painful leg claudication to choose the approach most likely to keep blood flowing and improve symptoms.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07147491RecruitingPhase 4
Study of a powered exercise device after hip surgery
This study tests a powered exercise device to help people walk better after hip surgery. It's for adults who are medically stable and can sit and stand with support.
Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South KoreaAges 19 years+ - NCT07060781Recruiting
Managing fluid buildup after lower back surgery
This trial tests ways to prevent or reduce seroma (fluid buildup) after elective lower back decompression surgery. It aims to improve recovery and comfort for patients.
Kafr ash Shaykh, KafrelsheikhAges 18 years+ - NCT07131787Recruiting
Blood flow restriction training after Achilles tendon repair
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction training to standard rehab helps your Achilles tendon and calf muscle heal better after surgery. You would do exercises with a special cuff that gently limits blood flow to your leg.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06085183RecruitingPhase 4
Study of a dye to check ureters during surgery in people with kidney problems
This trial tests a blue dye (Bludigo) to help doctors see if the ureters are open during surgery. It is for people with normal or reduced kidney function who need a procedure where the ureters are checked.
Albany, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT07128862Recruiting
Strength training with or without blood flow restriction in athletes
This trial compares heavy weightlifting with and without blood flow restriction (using special bands) to see which works better for building strength in active athletes. If you are a sprinter or football player, you may be able to join.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–35 - NCT07125157Recruiting
Balance training with biofeedback for chronic stroke patients
This study tests if adding biofeedback (visual or sound cues) to task-specific training helps improve balance and reduce fall risk in people who had a stroke more than 3 months ago. It is for patients in Central Lahore, Pakistan.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40 years+ - NCT07388823Recruiting
Nail repair for torn nails and blood blisters
