Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06121336Recruiting
Tracking a blood marker to measure stroke recovery
This study is looking at a protein in the blood called brain-derived tau, which may increase after a stroke. By measuring it over time, doctors hope to learn more about how the brain is healing and possibly predict recovery.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07777081Recruiting
How your brain and body recover after a wrist fracture
This study looks at how your brain and body heal after a wrist fracture. By joining, you'll help doctors understand recovery better, which could improve care for future patients.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07777861RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an eye drop for worsening glaucoma
This study tests an eye drop (G01) for people with primary open-angle glaucoma that is getting worse despite current treatments. It aims to see if G01 can safely slow down or stop the progression of glaucoma.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07009392Recruiting
Bacteria in the knee during ACL surgery
This study looks for bacteria inside the knee joint during ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) surgery, either for the first time or after a previous surgery. The goal is to learn more about the knee's natural bacteria, which might help improve recovery and prevent infections.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06133777Recruiting
Breathing patterns and complications after lung surgery
This study looks at how the way you breathe during lung surgery might affect your recovery. It will help doctors understand if certain breathing patterns can predict complications after surgery.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07778290Recruiting
Boswellia cream to prevent skin irritation from radiation
This trial tests a cream made from boswellia (a natural plant extract) to see if it can prevent skin irritation (radiation dermatitis) caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If you are about to start radiation, this cream might help protect your skin.
AlexandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07455136Recruiting
Blood test for traumatic brain injury diagnosis and monitoring
This study is testing a new blood-based test to help doctors diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI) and track recovery or complications. If you have had a head injury and a CT scan as part of your care, you may be able to join.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06963775Enrolling by invitation
Brain injury study using magnetic brain stimulation
This study uses a non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique to measure brain activity in people who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It aims to see if this tool can help doctors better understand and track recovery after a head injury.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05236010Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus cognitive training for mild TBI memory and thinking
This trial studies whether brain stimulation through the scalp can improve cognitive (thinking and memory) training in people with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants train on thinking tasks while receiving a targeted “control network neuromodulation” approach to see if it enhances training results.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–59 - NCT04554212Recruiting
Blood flow restriction therapy after kneecap instability
This trial tests whether a special exercise method called blood flow restriction training can help people recover faster and get back to running and pivoting activities after a kneecap (patella) that slips out of place. It may help strengthen the knee while you go through physical therapy.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 14–40 - NCT06945198Recruiting
Long-term sports activity after ankle surgery for chronic instability
This study follows patients for years after ankle surgery to see how well they return to sports. It compares two surgical techniques for chronic ankle instability caused by old sprains.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06788262Recruiting
Brain health study for female pro soccer players
This study looks at how heading the ball and minor head impacts might affect the brain and thinking skills in female professional soccer players, compared to tennis players. It aims to help understand any long-term effects of playing soccer.
StrasbourgAges 32–65 - NCT07009379Recruiting
Testing a pillow brace for sleep after rotator cuff repair
