Robot-assisted surgery for thigh bone fractures
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) near the knee. It may lead to more precise surgery and potentially better recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07738458Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for hip fracture repair
This study tests whether using a robot to help fix a broken hip (specifically a type of fracture called intertrochanteric) leads to better recovery. The robot assists the surgeon in placing a metal nail inside the bone to hold it together while it heals.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07717463Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for hip fracture surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief during hip fracture repair. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a broken hip, and are scheduled for surgery with spinal anesthesia.
Istanbul, BeyogluAges 50 years+ - NCT03617562Recruiting
Compare two surgeries for large rotator cuff tears
This trial compares two different operations to treat large, hard-to-repair rotator cuff tears. If your tear is too damaged to be repaired in the usual way, the study tests whether one surgical approach may work better than a partial repair.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT07688746RecruitingPhase 1
Helping premature babies heal brain injury
This trial tests a treatment for brain injury in premature babies born before 32 weeks. It aims to protect and repair white matter, the part of the brain that helps nerve cells communicate.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 3 weeks–5 months - NCT06612762Recruiting
Naringenin supplements for bone fracture recovery
This trial tests whether taking naringenin, a natural supplement found in citrus fruits, can help improve healing after a broken leg bone surgery. It is for adults who could walk without help before their injury.
TehranAges 18–60 - NCT07520851Recruiting
Does Buzzy help reduce pain during elbow pin removal?
This study tests whether a vibrating device called Buzzy can help reduce pain and fear when children have pins removed from their elbow after a fracture. Buzzy uses gentle vibration and cold to distract from discomfort during the procedure.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 3–10 - NCT07732972Recruiting
Brain and nerve effects of spinal cord stimulation study
This study uses special recordings to understand how a temporary spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses) changes brain and nerve activity in people with chronic pain or spinal cord injury. It aims to find out how the stimulation helps the nervous system work better.
Hualien CityAges 20–70 - NCT06834633Recruiting
Kidney protection for severe trauma patients
This trial tests a method to protect kidneys in patients with severe injuries who show early signs of kidney stress. If you or a loved one had a serious accident and are at risk for kidney damage, this study may offer extra monitoring or treatment.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT07733284RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Home walking program to boost thinking skills after TBI
This study tests whether a home-based walking program can improve thinking skills like memory and attention in people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Eligible participants are 18 to 65, can walk briskly without help, and have noticed problems with thinking since their injury.
East Hanover, New JerseyAges 18–65 - NCT07733271Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for broken shin bone near ankle
This trial tests whether a robot-assisted surgery can help realign and fix a broken shin bone (tibia) near the ankle. It may be an option for people with a simple, closed fracture who were able to walk before the injury.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04889924Recruiting
Lymph node surgery vs radiation after chemo for breast cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat the underarm lymph nodes in people whose sentinel lymph node still shows limited cancer after chemotherapy and hormone treatment. It may help find which approach controls cancer better with fewer side effects.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06790095Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing Cyclosporine for Moderate to Severe Brain Injury
This study tests a drug called cyclosporine to see if it can help people with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. You may be eligible if you have a brain injury seen on CT and can start treatment within 24 hours.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07732868Enrolling by invitation
Virtual Reality Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests a virtual reality (VR) program that uses brain-machine interface (BMI) technology to help people with spinal cord injuries regain movement. The program may help your brain and body work together better, potentially improving your recovery.
AveiroAges 18–65 - NCT03716167Recruiting
Near-infrared laser for healing and pain in leg vein ulcers
This study tests whether a near-infrared laser can improve healing and reduce pain in chronic venous leg ulcers. If you qualify, you may receive laser treatment and will be checked over time for wound healing and pain levels.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07179822Recruiting
Brain retraining for wrist movement after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a brain-training technique that uses small electrical pulses can help improve wrist movement in people with spinal cord injury. It is designed for those who have some wrist weakness but can still produce a tiny electrical signal in the wrist muscle.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT07732374RecruitingPhase 2
Long-term results after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in veterans
This study follows veterans who previously finished a 40-session hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) program. It tracks how their memory, mood, and daily function are doing 12 weeks later, to understand long-term benefits.
Boise, IdahoAges 18 years+ - NCT04752774RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Botox-like injection study for arm spasticity after stroke
This trial tests whether IPN10200, a Botox-like treatment, is safe and helps reduce stiff, tight upper-arm muscles caused by spasticity after stroke or brain injury. You may be able to join if you meet specific timing, prior-treatment, and muscle-stiffness measurements.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT07197840Recruiting
Registry for subdural hematoma embolization
This study is a registry for people with a subdural hematoma (a blood collection on the surface of the brain) who are planning to have a procedure to block one of the arteries in the scalp. The registry will track how these patients do over time.
New York, New YorkAges 18–98 - NCT07728526Recruiting
Eye exercises plus balance training for ankle instability
This study tests whether adding specific eye-movement exercises to standard balance training helps athletes with long-term ankle instability. It may improve your ankle control and reduce the feeling of your ankle giving way.
IstanbulAges 18–35 - NCT07729423Recruiting
Mepitel Film for skin protection during breast radiation
