Heat therapy for head and neck cancer
This phase 1 trial tests adding heat therapy (thermotherapy) to standard radiation (with or without chemo) for head and neck cancer. It aims to see if it is safe and effective for patients with locally advanced disease who have not had radiation before.

Helping premature babies heal brain injury
This trial tests a treatment for brain injury in premature babies born before 32 weeks. It aims to protect and repair white matter, the part of the brain that helps nerve cells communicate.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 3 weeks–5 months - NCT07692113Recruiting
Taping vs. movement control for big toe stiffness in athletes
This study compares two treatments for athletes with a stiff big toe (functional hallux limitus) that affects running. It tests whether a special tape or a movement retraining technique works better to improve toe motion and reduce pain.
Cairo, Zahraa AlmaadyAges 18–35 - NCT07692191Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to help exercise after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can improve your ability to exercise. It is for people who have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year and are medically stable.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18–70 - NCT07689045Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for shoulder surgery pain
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control during and after Bankart or Latarjet shoulder surgery. The goal is to see which block provides better pain relief and preserves arm strength.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT07692126Recruiting
Neck pain and hand strength: core vs shoulder exercises
This study compares two types of exercises to see which better improves hand grip strength and neck pain. If you have had chronic myofascial neck pain (trigger points) in the upper shoulder muscle for over 6 months, this trial may help find which exercise works best for you.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 25–45 - NCT06275776Recruiting
Wound recovery after total hip replacement
This study tests a new way of closing the wound after hip replacement surgery to see if it helps healing and reduces complications. It is for people having their first total hip replacement through the anterior approach.
Zoetermeer, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06078371Recruiting
Opioid-free pain treatment after broken bone surgery
This study compares standard pain treatment using opioids to a new opioid-free pain block for people who had surgery for broken bones. The goal is to find safer, non-addictive ways to manage pain after trauma.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06405438Recruiting
Mud therapy vs. paraffin wax for carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial compares two non-surgical treatments—mud therapy (peloid) and paraffin wax—for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to see which one better eases symptoms like numbness, tingling, and hand pain.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT04934839Recruiting
Gait study comparing prosthetic walking types in adults
This study compares how people walk using an osseointegrated prosthesis (a prosthesis connected to the bone) versus a traditional socket prosthesis. It may help researchers understand which option works better for walking balance, comfort, and function.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT05807854Recruiting
Surgery options for large, repairable shoulder tendon tears
This trial compares two different ways to repair a large, repairable rotator cuff (shoulder tendon) tear. It may help you understand which surgical approach leads to better recovery after non-surgical treatments have already failed.
Portland, OregonAges 60–80 - NCT05844098Recruiting
Fixing a shoulder AC joint injury with or without extra pins
This trial compares two surgical options for a recent shoulder AC joint injury: one method uses arthroscopy-assisted stabilization alone, and the other adds an extra K-wire (small metal pin) for fixation. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and shoulder recovery.
Chon BuriAges 18–45 - NCT07683247Recruiting
Energy use during ACL reconstruction surgery
This study measures how much energy your body uses during ACL reconstruction surgery. It uses a special vest to track your heart rate and breathing, which may help surgeons understand how your body handles the operation.
LecceAges 16–49 - NCT06658444Recruiting
Onion gel ultrasound for c-section scar treatment
This trial tests whether a special gel made with onion extract, applied using ultrasound (phonophoresis), can improve the appearance and healing of c-section scars. Participants will have the gel applied to their scar during ultrasound sessions to see if it reduces scar thickness and improves texture.
CairoAges 18–35 - NCT07683780Enrolling by invitation
Spinal stimulation and muscle training for cough after spinal cord injury
This study tests a combination of spinal cord stimulation and electrical muscle stimulation to help improve cough strength in people with a recent spinal cord injury. It may help you clear secretions more effectively.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–65 - NCT07687290Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for hip fracture pain before spinal anesthesia
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for managing pain while positioning hip fracture patients before they receive spinal anesthesia. The goal is to find a more comfortable way to prepare for surgery.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT07685860Recruiting
PET scan study for depression with MAO-A
This study uses a special PET scan to look at MAO-A, a brain chemical linked to depression. It may help doctors better understand and diagnose depression.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–90 - NCT07683169Recruiting
Trauma molecular processes study
This trial studies biological processes after a traumatic brain injury. It looks at brain tissue samples from patients who need surgery to remove a brain bruise to learn more about healing and injury.
BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT07687979Recruiting
Mobile app for walking training in Parkinson's disease
This trial tests whether a mobile phone app can help improve walking in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have mild to moderate Parkinson's and can use a smartphone, you may be able to join.
