This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface can help you control a powered leg exoskeleton. If you have stable long-term nerve/movement problems and need better mobility, the device may help you move with more independence.
GrenobleAges 18–55 - NCT06191159Recruiting
Comparing scar looks after different mastectomy incision methods
This trial compares three different ways surgeons make the incision (cut) during a mastectomy to see which one leads to the best-looking scar. You may be eligible if you are having a mastectomy without immediate reconstruction.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT07566923Enrolling by invitation
Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Teen Burn Recovery
This study tests a non-invasive device placed on the ear that stimulates the vagus nerve (a major nerve that affects stress and healing) to help adolescents recovering from burns feel less anxious, sleep better, and experience less pain and itching. The device is worn on the outside of the ear and may help your body heal.
Istanbul, KartalAges 12–18 - NCT07564713Recruiting
Shock Wave vs. Laser Therapy for Tennis Elbow
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): extracorporeal shock wave therapy and low-level laser therapy. Both treatments aim to reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic elbow pain caused by overuse.
ÇorumAges 18–65 - NCT07560631Recruiting
Facial Tracking to Monitor Brain Injury Recovery
This study uses camera technology to track subtle facial movements as a way to detect awareness and recovery in people with severe brain injuries. It may help doctors better understand and monitor patients who have suffered traumatic brain injury.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 22–85 - NCT07568340Recruiting
Supervised versus home exercises for shoulder impingement
This trial compares two ways to treat subacromial impingement syndrome (a common shoulder condition causing pain with overhead movements): supervised rehabilitation sessions versus exercises you do at home. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving shoulder function.
Kırşehir, KırşehirAges 30–65 - NCT07564440Enrolling by invitation
Safety Study of Controlled Whole-Body Heat Treatment
This study tests whether a temperature management system can safely raise your body temperature to fever levels in a controlled medical setting. Researchers want to understand how your body responds and ensure the procedure is safe for future use.
Aventura, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT07563387Enrolling by invitation
Ear Stimulation to Help Speech Recovery After Stroke or Brain Injury
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to a nerve in the ear can help improve speech and language abilities in people who have had trouble speaking since a stroke or traumatic brain injury. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment can help rewire the brain to recover language skills.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07562230Recruiting
Tissue-engineered skin to repair difficult wounds
This trial tests a lab-grown skin product designed to help heal stubborn wounds that won't close on their own—including burns, diabetic foot ulcers, and pressure sores. The goal is to see if this engineered skin can speed up healing and reduce scarring.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT07565350Recruiting
Heat and hydrogen peroxide for stubborn viral warts
This trial tests combining local heat therapy with a hydrogen peroxide solution to treat viral warts that haven't responded to other treatments like freezing or lasers. The goal is to find a new option for people frustrated by warts that keep coming back.
