Testing treatment choices for early ACL cartilage changes before surgery

Study of knee joint shape and patella dislocations in Faroese teens
This study looks at how knee joint shape differences may relate to repeated kneecap (patella) instability or near-dislocation, and what that means long-term. It specifically includes teens from the Faroe Islands and asks about symptoms and knee function over time.

Keyhole versus open surgery for an unhealed scaphoid bone
This study compares two surgical approaches—keyhole surgery versus open surgery—for scaphoid fractures that are not healing on their own. It aims to see which approach better helps the scaphoid heal after a delay or complete non-healing.
HellerupAges 18–68 - NCT05354596Recruiting
SBRT radiation trial for central lung tumors
This trial studies a focused, high-dose radiation treatment called SBRT for lung tumors that are hard to operate on, including very central tumors near major airways or organs. It may help people control tumor growth while limiting radiation exposure to nearby critical structures.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT04440514Recruiting
Repair surgery for a hernia near an ostomy
This trial is looking at people who have a parastomal hernia (a bulge near an ostomy) and need it repaired. It tests an endoscopic (small-camera) surgical approach called the ePauli repair to improve how the hernia is fixed.
BrumunddalAges Any age - NCT05762900RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter breast radiation after surgery for low-risk breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a shorter, focused radiation treatment after breast surgery, either alone or with an extra targeted boost. It’s for people with low-risk breast cancer and no spread to distant organs, aiming to keep results while reducing treatment time and side effects.
BeijingAges 35 years+ - NCT05366270Recruiting
Testing how mild heat affects depression symptoms and brain signals
This study tests whether controlled whole-body heat can change immune-related brain and body signals in people with major depressive disorder. It may help researchers understand why heat affects mood and who might benefit, while closely monitoring safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT04462458Recruiting
Study tracking outcomes after ACL reconstruction surgery
This is a study that follows adults who had an ACL tear treated with ACL reconstruction. It helps understand how the surgical device/material performs in real-world care.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT05348291Recruiting
Ventilation tubes for babies with frequent ear infections
This trial studies whether placing ventilation (ear) tubes in very young children can reduce how often ear infections happen. It focuses on babies under 1 year old who have a high pattern of repeat ear infections.
LundAges 1–2 - NCT05732051RecruitingPhase 2
Nicotinamide riboside to protect the heart during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether nicotinamide riboside can help prevent heart problems caused by a common breast-cancer chemotherapy (anthracyclines). If you’re eligible, you’ll be followed to see how your heart is doing during treatment.
Lørenskog, AkershusAges 18 years+ - NCT05798962Recruiting
Study of muscle repair changes after calf or hamstring injury
This study looks at what is happening inside muscle tissue after calf or hamstring injuries (new, long-term, or after an Achilles tendon rupture). It may help researchers understand why injuries come back and how muscle healing could be improved.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT03957343Recruiting
Parkwood Pacing and Planning app for concussion recovery
This study tests a smartphone or tablet app (the Parkwood Pacing and Planning app) that may help people after a mild concussion manage recovery. You may be able to join if you’re an adult, can use the app device, and have a confirmed mild concussion.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05588583Recruiting
Tracking drainage from chronic leg or foot ulcers with a dressing
This study follows how much fluid (drainage) a chronic ulcer produces over time using a dressing called Mepilex Up. It may help clinicians better understand how this dressing manages “exuding” ulcers on the leg or foot.
Castro Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04791488Recruiting
Testing oxygen level effects after diving or oxygen therapy
This study looks at how breathing extra oxygen (hyperoxia) and the body’s immune response change after diving or when people need hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It may help doctors understand what to expect and how to manage recovery after a diving accident.
ToulonAges 18 years+ - NCT03608280Recruiting
3D-printed implant vs own bone for rebuilding eye socket
This study compares two ways to rebuild part of the eye socket bone: a 3D-printed implant versus using the patient’s own bone. It may help show which approach works better to restore eye position and symptoms like double vision after an injury or surgery.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18–90 - NCT05856474Recruiting
Treating a pancreas injury after a surgery-confirmed cut
This study focuses on people whose pancreas injury is confirmed during an abdominal surgery (laparotomy). It aims to improve how traumatic pancreas transection is managed after that confirmation.
TainanAges 1–70 - NCT05868434Recruiting
Surgery for unstable kneecap after dislocation
This trial looks at a surgical repair to stop a kneecap (patella) that keeps slipping out of place after a lateral dislocation. It’s intended for people whose symptoms did not improve with non-surgical treatments.
Bełchatów, Łódź VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT04776473Recruiting
Testing surgery timing for specific jaw joint fractures
This trial looks at how to treat a particular type of jaw joint (mandibular condyle) fracture using surgery, ideally within two weeks after the injury. If you have this fracture pattern, the study may help find the safest, most effective approach and recovery plan.

Dual small-plate vs single plate for broken collarbones
This trial compares two surgical plate methods to fix a broken collarbone in the middle part (midshaft). The goal is to see which method works better for healing and function after an acute, fully displaced fracture.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT05679284Recruiting
Study for retained needle fragments in people who inject drugs
This observational study looks at whether small pieces of drug-injection needles remain in injection sites. You may help by answering a questionnaire and getting X-ray images, which could improve how care and safety are handled for people who inject drugs.

HABIT-ILE program for school-aged children after brain injury
This trial tests whether a structured HABIT-ILE program helps children with a brain injury improve daily functioning at school and during therapy sessions. It may help families build skills and routines, but it requires meeting specific health and timing criteria.
