San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06679049Recruiting
Comparing two nails for shin bone fractures
This study compares two types of metal rods (nails) placed inside the shin bone to fix a broken tibia. One rod is standard and the other allows tiny, controlled movements at the break to see if healing improves.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–85 - NCT07280013RecruitingPhase 1
Cemsidomide with elranatamab for multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new drug combination (cemsidomide and elranatamab) for people with multiple myeloma that has come back after previous treatments. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works better than current options.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04007380Recruiting
Sleep problems after spinal cord injury study
This study looks at how sleep-disordered breathing (breathing problems during sleep) affects mood, thinking, and behavior after a spinal cord injury. It may help researchers understand the impact of these sleep breathing issues and guide better support for people after injury.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04028687Recruiting
Study of a hip stem used in select adult hip replacements
This trial follows people who have had a hip replacement using a specific “Taperloc Complete” stem. It is meant to monitor outcomes after surgery and see how well the stem performs over time for certain non-infectious hip problems.
Henderson, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT04032990Recruiting
Testing a skin-based nerve stimulation for kids’ arm function
This trial studies whether a painless, skin-based treatment (stimulation over the spine) is safe and feasible to improve arm and hand function in children with a spinal cord injury. It’s mainly designed to see if the approach can be done safely and whether it may help upper-limb skills.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 4–18 - NCT04047992Recruiting
Training seated balance with the Indego leg device
This study tests whether using the Indego device can improve balance and movement for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). You would practice standing or balance tasks with the device if you meet the safety and fit requirements.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04057638Recruiting
Facial and hand transplant study for severe face and hand loss
This trial looks at transplanting donor tissue to rebuild parts of the face and one or both hands/forearms after major damage or loss. It aims to see if this approach can restore function and appearance, while carefully managing safety and side effects like the need for long-term immune-suppressing medicines.
New York, New YorkAges 18–64 - NCT04076735Recruiting
Compare fixing vs replacing certain leg bone fractures in seniors
This trial studies which operation works better for an acute distal femur (upper knee area) fracture in older adults: repairing/fixing it versus replacing the joint/bone. It may help find the safest approach and improve walking and recovery for people in this situation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT04075305Recruiting
Study measuring radiation treatment outcomes with an MR-Linac
This study follows what happens when radiation treatment is guided using an MR-Linac (a special machine that combines MRI imaging with radiation). It may help improve how radiation therapy is planned and assessed, especially for people who can safely have MRI scans.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04079348Recruiting
Pig-based wound dressing study for skin graft donor sites
This study tests how well a pig-based covering dressing works on skin graft donor-site wounds (where skin is taken to make a graft). It may help support faster, safer healing after a split-thickness skin graft.
Manchester, EnglandAges 16 years+ - NCT04080440Recruiting
Checking readiness to remove the breathing tube after brain injury
This study looks at how to judge when it is safe to remove the breathing tube in people in the ICU after a brain injury. It may help improve timing and safety of extubation, when supported by a breathing trial and clinical stability.
AngersAges 18–75 - NCT04081896Recruiting
Rehab program for adults with spine pain
This trial studies whether a prescribed physical therapy (rehab) program helps people with spine pain. It may help by improving pain and function when a clinician has already recommended rehabilitation.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–89 - NCT04090359RecruitingPhase 4
Dual-mobility cups for hip replacement revision surgery
This trial studies a specific kind of hip socket (a dual-mobility cup) used during revision hip replacement surgery. It may help improve hip stability and reduce the chance of dislocation when surgeons redo or convert a previous hip implant.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04092504Recruiting
Recovery program for older adults after physical trauma
This study looks at an “optimized recovery” plan for people age 65 and older who are in the hospital because of physical trauma. It may help improve how you recover in the hospital, but you must be able to communicate and not be receiving palliative (comfort-focused) care.
GothenburgAges 65 years+ - NCT04095598Recruiting
CT scan with stress tests for unstable ankle ligaments
This study tests whether a special CT scan with gentle stress maneuvers can better find ankle ligament injury (syndesmotic instability) after a sprain. If you had a recent ankle sprain and exam suggests this specific injury, the scan may help guide the right treatment.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT04109638Recruiting
PEMF therapy to reduce pain after shoulder or knee surgery
This trial studies whether PEMF, a type of non-surgical device that uses pulsed electromagnetic fields, can reduce pain after shoulder or knee surgery. If you join, you’ll also be expected to do post-surgery physical therapy exercises and report your pain and function.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04110613Recruiting
Early feeding after PEG tube placement in ICU patients
This trial tests whether starting tube feeds soon after a PEG tube is placed is safe and helpful for mechanically ventilated ICU patients. PEG is a feeding tube placed through the belly, and early feeding may support recovery if your stomach can handle it.
Roanoke, VirginiaAges 18–100 - NCT04113759Recruiting
Blood-flow restriction therapy after hip arthroscopy
This study looks at whether limiting blood flow to the thigh after hip arthroscopy (a hip surgery to repair damage) can improve recovery. You may be able to join if you’re a young adult scheduled for first-time hip arthroscopy for certain hip problems.
