London, OntarioAges 50–90 - NCT06909071Recruiting
Smart insulin pump for blood sugar control after brain surgery
This trial tests a smart insulin pump (hybrid closed-loop system) to control high blood sugar after brain surgery for bleeding strokes. It's for people with type 2 diabetes who are stable enough to leave the intensive care unit and are getting tube feedings.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06724393Enrolling by invitation
Blood Flow Restriction Exercise for Older Adults
This study tests whether low-intensity exercise with blood flow restriction (using special cuffs on your arms or legs) can improve strength and daily function in older adults. You join online classes from home and go to the campus three times for check-ups.
Montreal, QuebecAges 60 years+ - NCT06905093Recruiting
Exercise types for recovery after shoulder surgery
This study compares two types of exercise for your non-surgical arm while your shoulder recovers from surgery in a sling. The goal is to see which helps you regain strength and motion better.

Using 3D scanning to check fat grafting for facial defects
This study uses 3D face scanning to see how well your own fat, taken from another part of your body, can restore fullness to your face. It might help if you have a sunken or uneven look from a birth defect, injury, or aging.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 3–80 - NCT06900101Recruiting
Monitoring study in brain injury intensive care
This study uses a special monitoring system to closely watch patients in the neurologic intensive care unit. It may help doctors better understand and treat brain injuries.
France, BronAges 18–90 - NCT06901141Enrolling by invitation
Kinesio Tape for Balance, Ankle, and Jumping
This study tests whether different types of kinesio tape (a flexible tape placed on the skin) can improve balance, ankle function, and jumping ability in healthy young adults. It may help you if you are a physiotherapy student looking to understand how taping affects movement.
Istanbul, BüyükçekmeceAges 18–25 - NCT06734364Recruiting
Buddy tape vs. splint for finger bone fracture recovery
This study compares two non-surgical ways to treat a broken bone in the hand (metacarpal shaft fracture) that is not out of place. It tests whether taping the injured finger to a neighbor (buddy tape) works as well as using a padded splint.
Corbeil-EssonnesAges 18 years+ - NCT07465302RecruitingPhase 2
Early high oxygen therapy for spinal cord injury
This study tests giving high levels of oxygen soon after a spinal cord injury to see if it can help recovery. It is for people who are awake but need a breathing tube and have certain types of spinal cord injury in the neck or upper back.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT05877014RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two fixation methods for adult arm shaft fractures
This trial tests whether one surgical technique (for stabilizing the upper-arm bone using a rod placed inside the bone) works better than another for adult humeral shaft fractures. It may help find the approach that leads to better healing and recovery.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06888804Recruiting
Nerve block for chronic heel fracture pain
This study tests a non-surgical treatment (pulsed radiofrequency, or PRF) applied to a nerve in the ankle to see if it can reduce long-term pain after a heel bone (calcaneus) fracture. It may be an option if you have had pain for more than 3 months and other treatments haven't worked.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT05856370Recruiting
Study for follow-up of Medtronic spine or skull devices
This study checks how well certain Medtronic devices for the skull or spine are working in real-world care. If you’re getting one of these devices, you may be asked to do scheduled follow-up visits and assessments to confirm safety and performance.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05868434Recruiting
Surgery for unstable kneecap after dislocation

Bełchatów, Łódź VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06867185Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for nerve healing after finger nerve repair
This trial tests whether giving a small electrical signal during surgery helps nerves in the finger heal better after they are repaired. It might help you regain feeling and movement faster.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT06636136Recruiting

Valencia, ValenciaAges 16–40 - NCT07451210Recruiting
Blood flow restriction therapy after ankle ligament surgery
This study tests whether a special blood flow restriction device used during physical therapy helps people recover better after ankle ligament repair. You would do physical therapy as usual, but with a cuff on your upper leg that gently limits blood flow during exercises, which may help strengthen muscles more quickly.
Lubbock, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06836349Recruiting
