Testing how well nerves control the heart after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how well the body’s automatic nerve functions (like heart and blood pressure control) work after a traumatic spinal cord injury. The goal is to better understand preserved nerve function and autonomic (automatic body) control, which could help guide future treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–50 - NCT04494672Recruiting
Testing navigation-guided surgery for broken hip fractures
This study checks whether using a navigation system during surgery for certain hip (upper thigh bone) fractures can make the operation better. You may be eligible if you need a specific type of hip fracture surgery and meet the age and imaging requirements.
LuganoAges 50–85 - NCT04496609Recruiting
Testing a spinal stimulation treatment for incomplete spinal cord injury
This trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulation approach plus rehab can improve function and safety in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury who cannot walk. It may help people by supporting rehabilitation over time, but it requires surgery and specific health and imaging conditions.
GarchesAges 18–65 - NCT04499755RecruitingPhase 3
Nucleo CMP Forte for moderate to severe brain injury in children
This trial studies whether a supplement called Nucleo CMP Forte can improve outcomes after a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury in children. It may help families see if adding this treatment makes recovery better and safer.
TantaAges Up to 18 years - NCT04504136Recruiting
Study how gut lining heals in inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at how the lining of the colon heals in people with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease). It may help researchers understand whether anti-TNF treatment improves healing, especially when people have limited prior response or are starting biologic therapy.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–90 - NCT04511572Recruiting
Middle artery embolization for chronic brain bleeding
This study tests a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization for people with a confirmed chronic subdural hematoma (a long-lasting bleed near the brain). It may help by reducing the blood supply to the area and improving symptoms after symptoms start or worsen.
AmsterdamAges 50–90 - NCT04520178RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
5HTP trial for long-term spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether 5HTP can help people with spinal cord injury caused by trauma at least 6 months ago. It is mainly designed to see if the treatment is safe and helpful over the study period.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18–65 - NCT04521881RecruitingPhase 3
Testing an antifibrinolytic for mild head injury in older adults
This study tests whether an anti-bleeding medicine (given to reduce unwanted clot breakdown) can improve outcomes after a mild head injury in people 50 and older. It is looking for patients who arrive quickly after injury and have certain symptoms like brief loss of consciousness, confusion, or nausea.
London, LondonAges 50 years+ - NCT04523415Recruiting
CT-based study of displaced upper arm bone fractures
This trial is studying people age 17+ with a recently fractured upper arm bone near the shoulder, using CT scans and 3D planning. It may help doctors improve how these fractures are evaluated and treated after injury.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 17 years+ - NCT04524637Recruiting
Testing a clotting test in recent traumatic brain injury
This trial tests whether a special blood clotting test called thromboelastography can help assess clotting problems after a head injury. It may help doctors better understand bleeding risk and related complications early after trauma.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT04528446Recruiting
Study bone strength in people with kidney filtering disorders
This study looks at how kidney filtering problems (glomerular disorders) may affect bone quality and strength. It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk for weak bones and fractures and why.
New York, New YorkAges 5–55 - NCT04529330Recruiting
Study for certain tibia fractures in adults
This trial is studying care for adults with a specific type of fracture around the knee (Schatzker types V or VI). You may be asked about the type of injury and what treatment you received so researchers can compare outcomes.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04533152Recruiting
Study risk factors for healing in diabetic foot ulcers
This study looks at what factors affect outcomes in adults with diabetic foot ulcers. It may help doctors better predict healing and complications by better understanding what influences progress.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT04533217Recruiting
Vertebroplasty for multiple myeloma back pain
This trial tests whether adding a procedure called vertebroplasty to usual care can better reduce back pain from multiple myeloma. It’s for people who have a small number of spine fractures in a specific area and significant pain.
Middelfart, Region SyddanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT04534777Recruiting
Tests ways to predict recovery after brain injury
This study looks at different ways to predict how people with severe disorders of consciousness might recover after a brain injury. It may help doctors better estimate prognosis and improve care planning.
ParisAges 18–80 - NCT04536103Recruiting
Accelerated MRI scans after ACL knee injury surgery
This trial tests a faster MRI scan method to measure healing in the knee after an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear and reconstruction. It may help researchers compare scan quality while participants go through standard rehab.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–50 - NCT04550377RecruitingPhase 2
Cannabidiol for PTSD, including PTSD after mild head injury
This Phase 2 study tests whether cannabidiol (CBD) can reduce PTSD symptoms, including in people who also had a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). It’s meant to see if CBD is helpful and safe for PTSD symptoms over the study period.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT04560803Recruiting
Skin grafts to help radiation wounds heal faster
This study tests a small skin graft approach to help wounds caused by prior radiation heal better. If you have a radiation-related skin wound that usually heals slowly on its own, this may speed healing and improve comfort.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT04561661Recruiting
Pinning versus splinting for finger fractures
This study compares two ways to treat certain finger bone fractures: using a small pin through the skin or using a splint. It also looks at early movement to help prevent stiffness and improve hand function.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT04565925RecruitingPhase 2
Sildenafil to reduce urine leaks after spinal cord injury
This trial studies whether sildenafil (a prescription pill) can lessen urinary incontinence in adults with spinal cord injuries. If it works, it may reduce the number of urine leakage episodes each week.
College Station, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT04572256RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Montelukast after ACL surgery to protect knee cartilage
This early trial tests whether montelukast, a tablet used for allergies, can help protect knee cartilage after ACL surgery. It is specifically for people who have a meniscus injury along with their ACL tear.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 25–50 - NCT04574440Recruiting
Near-infrared brain scan during planned heart surgery
This trial tests a non-painful near-infrared brain scan (placed on the forehead) during planned adult heart surgery. It may help doctors better understand how the brain responds during surgery and improve care.

Epoetin to improve outcomes in severe trauma ICU patients
This trial tests epoetin alfa (a blood-building medicine) to help reduce death and severe disability in critically ill trauma patients in the ICU. You may be considered if your ICU team expects a longer stay and the timing after injury is early.
