Early surgery for hip fractures in people on blood thinners
This study looks at whether fixing a hip fracture sooner is better for people who take a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) blood thinner. It compares early surgery versus delayed surgery in people whose delay is specifically from the blood thinner.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT04092504Recruiting
Recovery program for older adults after physical trauma
This study looks at an “optimized recovery” plan for people age 65 and older who are in the hospital because of physical trauma. It may help improve how you recover in the hospital, but you must be able to communicate and not be receiving palliative (comfort-focused) care.
GothenburgAges 65 years+ - NCT04331392Recruiting
Online memory training for people with recent brain injury
This trial tests an online memory program for people with a recent traumatic brain injury (TBI) to help with thinking and memory. It may be useful if your injury is recent and you can safely do MRI scanning.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–55 - NCT06596174Recruiting
Spinal stimulation and ankle training for spinal cord injury
This trial tests if adding a non-invasive spinal stimulation technique to ankle movement training can improve recovery in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It might be relevant if you have had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are not on certain medications.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT06648798Recruiting
Comparing a new fast-fit prosthetic leg to your current one
This trial is testing a new quick-to-make, custom below-knee prosthetic leg (called the UniLeg). It compares how well it works for daily walking versus your current prosthetic. The goal is to see if the new leg can be made faster and fit better, helping you stay active.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT07614399Recruiting
Conservative vs surgical treatment for post-surgery fluid buildup
This trial compares two approaches to treating a fluid pocket that sometimes forms under the scalp after brain surgery: watchful waiting versus a procedure to fix it. The study helps doctors understand which approach works best and is safest for patients.
Prague, PragueAges 18–80 - NCT07614425Recruiting
Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Study
This study tests surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome—a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets compressed, causing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand. You may qualify if you have confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome and conservative treatments like splints haven't helped.
HelsinkiAges 18–75 - NCT07613918Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow Monitoring in Critically Ill Children
This study measures how well blood flows to your child's brain while they're in the intensive care unit on a breathing machine. Understanding this flow may help doctors better care for critically ill children.
Madison, WisconsinAges 1 day–17 years - NCT07614074Recruiting
Understanding Recovery from Coma and Unconsciousness
This study follows patients who have been in a coma (deep unconsciousness) for at least 24 hours due to a brain injury. Researchers will track how patients recover over time to better understand which factors help predict who will wake up and how well they'll recover.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07613502Recruiting
Bio Leg: Advancing Mobility (BAM)
This study tests a new prosthetic leg designed to help people with above-knee amputations walk better. It may be a good fit if you already use a C-leg and can walk with a single point cane.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 40–70 - NCT07612761Recruiting
Pain Relief Methods for Hip Fracture Surgery
This trial compares two different nerve-blocking techniques to help manage pain after hip fracture surgery. Both methods numb the area around your hip to reduce pain and may help you recover better.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07617961Recruiting
THERAVEX Spray for Wound and Ulcer Healing
This trial tests a topical spray treatment designed to help heal various types of skin wounds, including burns, pressure sores, and diabetic ulcers. The spray may help your wound heal faster and more effectively.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07615491Recruiting
Safety and effectiveness study of spinal implants and bone materials
This study tracks how well spinal implants (Titania systems) and bone-filling materials (BONEGRAFT) work after surgery and whether patients experience any problems. Researchers will follow patients after cervical or lower spine surgery to confirm these devices are safe and effective in real-world use.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT06473987Recruiting
Virtual reality training for better walking after brain injury
This trial tests a virtual reality program that combines thinking and walking exercises to help improve your balance and walking speed. It may be a good fit if you have a traumatic brain injury and walk more slowly than usual.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–65 - NCT06707532Recruiting
Muscle relaxants for safer heart rhythm treatment
This study tests if giving muscle relaxants before a heart ablation procedure can protect muscles from damage. Ablation uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats, and muscle relaxants might make it safer.
Wroclaw, Lower Silesian VoivodeshipAges 18–90 - NCT01913132Recruiting
PICO study after groin surgery incisions
This study looks at what happens after planned (not emergency) groin blood-vessel surgery, specifically around the incision area. It may help improve how incisions heal and reduce problems after surgery.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT04081896Recruiting
Rehab program for adults with spine pain
This trial studies whether a prescribed physical therapy (rehab) program helps people with spine pain. It may help by improving pain and function when a clinician has already recommended rehabilitation.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–89 - NCT06334276Recruiting
Danish drowning registry study: Fatal and nonfatal drowning since 2016
This study collects information about drowning incidents in Denmark from 2016 onward. By linking emergency records with hospital data, researchers hope to better understand drowning outcomes and improve care.
Næstved, Region SjællandAges Any age - NCT06614829Recruiting
C-section wound closure: standard vs. a new skin closure system
This study compares two types of wound closure after a planned C-section to see which one patients prefer and how it affects healing. It uses a special skin closure system that may reduce scarring and improve your recovery experience.
North York, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06709365Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for complex ankle breaks in older adults
This trial tests two ways to fix complicated ankle and lower leg fractures in people over 65. It compares using a nail through the heel versus plates and screws to see which helps you heal and move better.
SohagAges 1–2 - NCT06709690Recruiting
AI-powered PET/MR scanner for children with suspected cancer
This study tests a new, fast, and quiet AI-powered PET/MR scanner to take detailed pictures of children with suspected cancer. It aims to make the imaging experience easier and more comfortable for kids.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 18 years - NCT07611318Enrolling by invitation
Imaging study comparing wound infection detection methods
This study tests a new imaging device that uses fluorescence (special light) to detect bacteria and infection in wounds. Researchers will compare it to a standard method by taking small tissue samples. If you have a wound that's healing slowly, this might help doctors better understand and treat it.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT07609095Recruiting
Testing pulse checks to assess blood circulation during emergency care
This study examines whether checking a patient's pulse at the wrist or other sites can help doctors quickly assess blood circulation problems during emergencies. The goal is to see if simple pulse checks match what more complex monitoring devices show, helping guide faster treatment decisions.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07603752Recruiting
Brain implant to restore arm movement in spinal cord injury
This trial tests a wireless implant placed on the brain's surface to help people with cervical (neck-level) spinal cord injuries regain some arm and hand movement. The device reads brain signals and sends them to muscles, potentially bypassing the damaged spinal cord.
