Blood flow restriction exercise for strength after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether controlled exercise with blood flow restriction (a gentle technique) can help you regain strength after an incomplete spinal cord injury. It is for people currently receiving care at Quality Living, Inc.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19–75 - NCT07679217Enrolling by invitation
Fat Injection and Laser for Better Scar Healing
This study tests a combination of two procedures: injecting your own fat (nanofat) into depressed scars and treating them with a special laser (fractional CO2 laser). The goal is to see if this combination improves the look of scars left by injuries better than laser alone.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07675655Recruiting
Mulligan vs. PNF exercises for shoulder pain
This trial compares two hands-on therapy techniques for people with shoulder impingement (pain when lifting the arm). It tests if one method works better for reducing pain and improving movement.

Study of blood vessel health during burn surgery
This trial looks at how a protective layer inside your blood vessels (called the glycocalyx) responds during surgery to remove burned skin. The goal is to improve care for people with major burns.
Barcelona, SpainAges 18 years+ - NCT06566300Recruiting
Fat grafting for burn and trauma scars
This trial compares two methods of using your own fat to improve old burn or accident scars. It tests whether injecting the fat or using a special stamp-like device (microneedling) works better for making scars softer and less noticeable.
AlexandriaAges 18–60 - NCT04195256RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nasal sedation medicine for kids needing a quick procedure
This trial tests whether a nose spray (dexmedetomidine plus ketamine) can safely and effectively sedate children during an ED procedure for certain arm injuries. It may help reduce distress and improve comfort compared with usual care.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 2–17 - NCT06439927Recruiting
New method for closing a hole in the nasal septum
This trial is testing a new way to close a hole in the nasal septum (the wall inside your nose) during surgery. It may be a better option for people who need this repair.
CairoAges 18–58 - NCT07666178RecruitingPhase 3
Continuous ESP Block for Pain After Bypass Surgery
This study tests a continuous nerve block (ESP block) placed near the spine to control pain after bypass surgery. It aims to see if this block improves recovery and reduces pain.
São Paulo, São PauloAges Any age - NCT07665268RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing wound healing products for hard-to-heal pressure ulcers
This trial tests if special wound dressings (called cellular, acellular, or matrix-like products) can help heal severe pressure ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. It may be a good option if you have a stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcer on your lower back or tailbone area that's been there for at least a month.
North Royalton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06674668Recruiting
Vibration therapy for tennis elbow pain
This study tests whether gentle vibrations applied to the elbow can help reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It compares the effects of this new therapy to standard care.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07671235Recruiting
Comparing graft options for repeat ACL surgery
This study compares two types of tissue grafts (your own or a donor's) used in a second ACL knee surgery to see which leads to better outcomes and fewer failures over at least two years.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18–50 - NCT07664462Recruiting
Heat and Altitude: Male Exercise Study
This study tests how your body handles working in heat when you are also at a simulated high altitude. The results could help understand physical limits and safety in jobs or sports.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18–70 - NCT07668011Recruiting
Shockwave therapy for iliotibial band syndrome
This study tests whether a type of sound wave therapy (radial shockwave) can help relieve pain from iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) in active adults. If you have outer knee pain when running and have been diagnosed with ITBS in the last month, you may be able to join.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 18–45 - NCT07670195RecruitingPhase 2
BCAAs for concussion recovery in young people
This study tests if a supplement called BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) can help young people recover from a concussion. It aims to see if BCAAs improve symptoms compared to a placebo.
Havertown, PennsylvaniaAges 11–23 - NCT07664202Recruiting
Fluoroscopic Endobutton Procedure for Collarbone Injuries
This study is testing a surgical technique called fluoroscopic endobutton repair for outer collarbone fractures or severe acromioclavicular joint dislocations. It aims to see if using a special X-ray during surgery helps improve how the bone heals or the joint is stabilized.
ParisAges 18–65 - NCT07664358Recruiting
Predicting lung injury after traumatic brain injury
This study looks at whether a simple blood test measuring fibrinogen and albumin levels can help predict if someone with a traumatic brain injury will develop a serious lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors identify patients who need extra monitoring and care.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07671729Recruiting
Comparing two tendon grafts for ACL surgery
