Using feedback to improve prosthetic movement in amputees
This study tests whether movement “feedback” can help adults with arm or leg amputations control a prosthetic better. It may be most helpful if you can comfortably wear a prosthetic socket and can understand and consent to the study.
Ages 18–75 - NCT04685772Recruiting
Medrol Dose Pack for new concussion headache relief
This trial tests whether a Medrol “dose pack” (a short course of steroid medicine taken by mouth) can reduce acute headache pain after a concussion. It may help people whose concussion headaches are frequent and severe soon after injury.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06908538Recruiting
Cryo nerve block for pain after amputation
This study is testing a treatment called a cryo nerve block to reduce pain after amputation, including phantom limb pain. It will look at whether freezing the nerve during surgery helps people feel less pain and use less pain medicine.
Pittsfield, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05986318RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing breathing issues from lung radiation in people with ILD
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications (dexamethasone and N-acetyl cysteine) can reduce breathing problems caused by radiation to lung tumors in patients who have both lung cancer and fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). It aims to find a better way to manage side effects from radiation.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06424561Recruiting
Psychological support for wound surgery recovery
This study tests whether talking with a mental health professional helps adults feel better and recover more smoothly after surgery for hard-to-heal wounds. It is for patients who are getting VSD (vacuum-assisted drainage) surgery.
Yiwu, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04947462Recruiting
Improved control of prosthetic arms with hand nerve signals
This study tests a new way to connect nerve signals from your amputated arm to a prosthetic hand, which may help you control it more naturally and feel what the hand is touching.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07784088Recruiting
Wireless brain implant for tetraplegia
This trial tests a new implantable brain-computer interface designed to help people with tetraplegia (paralysis of arms and legs) control devices using their thoughts. It may help improve independence and quality of life.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT07541274Recruiting
Thigh Muscle Quality and Knee Osteoarthritis Outcomes
This study looks at how the strength and quality of your thigh muscles relate to how well your knee osteoarthritis improves. Researchers will measure your muscle and track your knee function to understand this connection better.
Izmir, Bayraklı/izmirAges 40–70 - NCT07347106Recruiting
Miro3D trial for hard-to-heal wounds
This trial tests a special dressing called Miro3D, used with or without a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device, to help heal tough wounds that haven't improved with standard care. It may be an option for people with certain large surgical wounds or chronic pressure sores.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–90 - NCT07322497Recruiting
Phone app vs. supervised exercise before ACL surgery
This study compares two ways to exercise before ACL surgery: using a video app on your phone versus doing exercises with a physical therapist. The goal is to see which approach helps you recover better.
Istanbul, KartalAges 18–45 - NCT07633496Enrolling by invitation
Osteopathic hand therapy for healthy tears
This study tests whether gentle hands-on therapy (osteopathic manipulation) can change the makeup of your tears in a healthy way. It may help people who are interested in natural ways to support eye health.
Erie, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07244211Recruiting
Hip Replacement vs. Screws for Hip Fracture Recovery
This study compares two types of surgery for a specific hip fracture in older adults: hip replacement versus inserting screws to hold the bone in place. It aims to see which helps patients recover faster and get back to moving around sooner.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT01889381RecruitingPhase 2
Transplanting facial and jaw bone using donor tissue
This trial studies a special surgery to replace part of the skull, face, and jaw using donor tissue. It also tests medicines to help your body accept the transplant, aiming to restore function and appearance after serious injury.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07782723Recruiting
Shock wave and blood-flow therapy for tennis elbow
This study tests two treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): shock wave therapy, which uses sound waves to help healing, and blood flow restriction therapy, which uses a cuff to increase blood flow during exercise. It aims to see if combining them works better than either alone, which might help reduce pain and improve your arm's function.
AnkaraAges 18–60 - NCT07782216Recruiting
Studying brain proteins after acute brain injury
This study looks at how certain brain proteins (called biomarkers) behave in the blood after an acute brain injury. The goal is to see if these proteins can help doctors quickly assess the severity of the injury. Participation involves giving blood samples at specific times after your injury.
Pécs, BranyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07781553Recruiting
Shoulder tear repair healing study
This study looks at whether certain markers in your body can predict how well your shoulder tendon heals after surgery. It may help doctors know what to expect during recovery.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT06697808Recruiting
Ultrasound for detecting brain issues in children
This study tests whether a portable ultrasound can safely spot brain problems in children who already need a CT scan or MRI. The goal is to see if ultrasound could be a faster, easier alternative for finding issues in the emergency room or intensive care unit.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07781605Recruiting
Temperature and exercise in children and young adults
This study looks at how the body's temperature changes during exercise in different room temperatures. It may help us understand how to keep kids and young adults safe and comfortable when they exercise in the heat.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 9–25 - NCT07783048Enrolling by invitation
Brain health in blast overpressure study
This study looks at brain health in people exposed to blast overpressure during explosive breaching training. Participants will wear EEG headsets to measure brain activity. It might help understand how these exposures affect the brain.
Orléans, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07459166RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug for fentanyl overdose
This study tests a new drug, CS-1103, to see if it can safely help reverse the effects of fentanyl (a strong opioid) even after a naloxone block. Healthy volunteers who have used opioids before will be given fentanyl and then the study drug, while researchers monitor safety and how the drug works.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT06232876Recruiting
Continuous vs intermittent monitoring after surgery
This study compares two ways of monitoring patients after major surgery: continuous monitoring with a non‑invasive device versus the usual periodic checks. It may help find out which method is better at keeping you safe during recovery.

Freezing nerves for rib fracture pain
This study tests a procedure called cryoneurolysis, which uses cold to temporarily freeze nerves near broken ribs to relieve pain. It is for adults who have 1 to 6 recently broken ribs with at least moderate pain and are already getting a nerve block injection.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07781592Enrolling by invitation
Exercise intensity and heat response in young people
This study looks at how exercise intensity affects body temperature in healthy children and young adults. Participants will exercise and may need to swallow a small pill that measures body temperature from inside.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 9–25 - NCT07471243Recruiting
