Guadalajara, JaliscoAges 18 years+ - NCT04589442RecruitingPhase 4
Graft treatment for deep burns using processed donor skin
This trial tests whether a “microsurfaced” donor-skin graft can heal deep burn wounds (partial- or full-thickness burns) after recent injury. It may help improve healing when the burn area is large enough and not infected.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 21 years+ - NCT03920033Recruiting
Radiation schedule for prostate cancer PSA relapse after surgery
This trial compares two different radiation schedules to treat prostate cancer that returned based on rising PSA blood tests after prostatectomy (prostate removal). If you qualify, it may help you and your team choose a radiation approach with the goal of controlling PSA relapse.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT03903510Recruiting
Virtual reality during kids’ cast removal
This trial tests whether virtual reality can help children feel calmer during cast removal after a broken arm or leg. It may make the experience less stressful while the cast is being taken off.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 4–12 - NCT04822077Recruiting
Proton beam treatment for thymus tumors
This trial studies proton radiotherapy (a type of radiation) for cancers of the thymus, like thymoma or thymic carcinoma. It may help improve tumor control while limiting radiation exposure to nearby organs.
Umeå, NorrlandAges 18 years+ - NCT04869332Recruiting
Three vs four screws to fix a broken hip bone
This trial compares using three versus four screws to hold a femoral neck fracture (a break in the hip bone near the joint). It aims to see which method works better for healing and recovery after internal fixation surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05032768Recruiting
Study links between skin bacteria and radiation skin reactions
This study looks at how changes in the skin’s normal bacteria (microbiome) relate to getting redness, irritation, or rash after breast radiation. It may help doctors predict who is more likely to have skin side effects after reconstruction and radiation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04969042RecruitingPhase 1
Closed-loop spinal cord stimulation for spinal cord injury rehab
This Phase 1 study tests a computer-controlled spinal cord stimulation system to help people with spinal cord injuries during rehabilitation. It is mainly looking at safety and whether the device can be used during follow-up visits and training.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04390035Recruiting
Blood-flow training after ACL surgery for teens
This trial looks at whether a special exercise method that changes blood flow during physical therapy (called BFRT) can improve recovery after ACL reconstruction in teens. It may help strength and rehab progress, but you would need to meet several surgery and safety requirements and attend many PT visits.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 12–18 - NCT04529330Recruiting
Study for certain tibia fractures in adults
This trial is studying care for adults with a specific type of fracture around the knee (Schatzker types V or VI). You may be asked about the type of injury and what treatment you received so researchers can compare outcomes.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05030259Recruiting
Study of recovery after thigh artery injuries
This trial looks at outcomes in adults who have injuries to the femoropopliteal (thigh-to-knee) artery. It may help doctors understand what affects recovery and discharge, especially for preventing complications.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT03784651Recruiting
How breast cancer treatment changes metabolism and bone
This study looks at how standard breast cancer treatments affect your body’s metabolism and bones in postmenopausal people with early-stage breast cancer. It may help doctors better predict and prevent bone and metabolic side effects from treatment.
Copenhagen, DanmarkAges 50–70 - NCT04889053Recruiting
CT heart scan study in adults with type 2 diabetes
This trial uses a low-dose CT scan of the heart’s arteries to measure coronary artery calcification in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand heart calcium buildup and may help improve risk assessment for people with diabetes.
HengyangAges 18 years+ - NCT03218332Recruiting
Study of concussion symptoms in professional athletes
This study looks at persistent symptoms after concussions in professional athletes and compares different concussion histories. It aims to understand what contributes to ongoing problems and whether certain patterns can be identified to guide better care.
Toronto, OntarioAges 25–85 - NCT05059379RecruitingPhase 3
Different radiation fields after breast cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to lymph node areas near the collarbone after surgery for invasive breast cancer. It aims to see which radiation approach works better and is safer for preventing cancer returning in these lymph nodes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05102968Recruiting
App-based home rehab after shoulder arthroscopy
This study tests whether using a communication app to help you do home rehabilitation after arthroscopic shoulder surgery improves recovery and function. If you have a small to medium full-thickness rotator cuff tear (or certain subscapularis tears) and can commit to follow-up for two years, you may be eligible.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–70 - NCT04312412Recruiting
Follow-up of treatment for finger tendon injuries
This study looks at outcomes—how well treatment works—after injuries to the finger or thumb flexor tendons. If your injury happened in a certain location of the tendon and you meet other safety criteria, your care and results may help improve future treatment.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–75 - NCT04306432Recruiting
Check how cognitive tests change after brain tumor radiation
This trial studies how radiation therapy affects thinking and memory in adults with certain brain tumors. It may help doctors understand which patients are more likely to have cognitive side effects and how to measure them over time.

Study of fractures around implants after injury or surgery
This study looks at how often certain shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee fractures happen around orthopedic hardware (implants), and how they affect recovery and outcomes. Results may help doctors choose better treatment and predict risks for patients with these fracture types.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05217160RecruitingPhase 4
KeraStat gel with morphine for non-healing painful open wounds
This study tests whether KeraStat® gel that delivers morphine through the skin can reduce pain and help manage non-healing ulcers or open wounds. You may be eligible if your wound fits specific size and depth limits and you can track pain every day.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02661139Recruiting
