Test of a smart arm prosthesis control system for arm amputees
This trial studies whether the MyoTrain system can help people with a below-elbow (trans-radial) arm amputation control a myoelectric prosthesis using muscle signals. It may help you practice and use a more “thought-to-movement” style control method if you meet the safety and participation requirements.

Light therapy for concussion recovery in teens
This trial tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help teenagers recover faster from a sports-related concussion. If you qualify, you will receive the light treatment in addition to your usual care, and researchers will track your symptoms and thinking skills over time.
Houston, TexasAges 13–18 - NCT06814717RecruitingPhase 2
Study of cP12 for adults with small burns
This trial tests a new drug called cP12 given through a vein to see if it is safe and how the body handles it. It is for adults who have a thermal burn covering 10% or less of their body within the first 2 to 24 hours after the burn happened.

Ultrasound vs standard care for fingertip wound healing
This study tests a special low-frequency ultrasound device to see if it helps fingertip injuries heal faster than a standard treatment. The ultrasound treatment does not touch your skin, so it may be gentler and help reduce pain or scarring.
Bethlehem, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06802744Enrolling by invitation
Breathing tube study for avalanche burial simulation
This study tests whether a special breathing tube changes carbon dioxide levels in the body during a simulated avalanche burial. It helps researchers understand how to better protect people trapped under snow.
Aarau, Canton of AargauAges 18–60 - NCT06780319Recruiting
Digital rehab after hip replacement surgery
This trial compares a digital (app-based) rehabilitation program with standard care after hip replacement surgery. If you have a smartphone and speak French, this study could help you recover from home.
MérignacAges 18–80 - NCT06777056Recruiting
AI for spotting lung bruises on chest X-rays after chest injury
This trial tests whether AI can help doctors find lung bruises (contusions) on chest X-rays, using high-resolution CT scans as the reference. If you came to the ER with a blunt chest injury and had both an X-ray and a CT scan within 48 hours, you may be able to help improve how we detect injuries.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06776887Recruiting
Virtual reality exercises for burn recovery on legs
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can help people with leg burns improve balance and reduce depression and anxiety. It is for people who had a large thermal burn on their lower body at least 3 months ago.
GizaAges 35–55 - NCT07321028Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Study of freezing methods on human cell samples
This study tests different freezing methods on human cell samples to see which work best. It does not involve human volunteers, only donated cells that have been de-identified.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07138066Recruiting
Smart crutch tips for guided weight-bearing after tibia fracture
This trial tests a smart crutch tip that helps guide how much weight you put on your leg while recovering from a broken shin bone. It is for people who have had surgery to fix the fracture and are learning to walk again with crutches.
Kyiv, Kyiv OblastAges 18–80 - NCT06740773Recruiting
Risk factors for problems after skull repair surgery
This study looks at people who had a skull repair surgery (cranioplasty) to see what problems might happen afterward. Researchers want to find out what factors raise the risk of complications so they can help future patients recover more safely.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06736860RecruitingPhase 4
Tranexamic acid for trauma bleeding with blood clot monitoring
This study tests whether a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) can help control bleeding in trauma patients. It uses a special blood test (thromboelastography) to monitor how well your blood clots during treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06732687Recruiting
Exercise program to prevent injuries in school boys
This trial tests if a combination of bodyweight and jumping exercises can help prevent muscle and bone injuries in school-aged boys. It could be a good fit if your child is between 8 and 12 years old, has a normal weight, and hasn't had a recent injury.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 8–12 - NCT05701592Recruiting
Testing two-bundle surgery for a torn knee ligament
