Graft treatment for deep burns using processed donor skin
This trial tests whether a “microsurfaced” donor-skin graft can heal deep burn wounds (partial- or full-thickness burns) after recent injury. It may help improve healing when the burn area is large enough and not infected.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 21 years+ - NCT04607538Recruiting
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.
HvidovreAges 15–20 - NCT04610697Recruiting
Cognitive training for people in forensic mental health care
This trial studies whether a structured “cognitive remediation” program (training thinking skills) can help people receiving care on a forensic treatment unit. It may benefit those who want support improving attention, memory, or problem-solving as part of their treatment.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18–55 - NCT04612907Recruiting
Radiation timing options for low-burden metastatic prostate cancer
This study compares different radiation schedules to the main prostate tumor in men with low-burden metastatic (spread) hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. It may help find a radiation timing approach that controls the cancer while balancing side effects.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT04615104Recruiting
Study of pelvic and hip-joint bone fractures
This study is observing people with pelvic ring and acetabular (hip-joint socket) fractures to better understand what happens over time. It may help doctors improve care, even though it does not test a new treatment.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04620343Recruiting
Study of breathing treatment for EILO during exercise
This trial tests a treatment approach for exercise-related breathing difficulty called EILO. It aims to help people whose breathing problems show up during peak exercise and who want ongoing follow-up.
Bergen, VestlandAges 12 years+ - NCT04623593Recruiting
Study of cost and value of neck disc surgery
This study looks at how cost-effective (good value for the money) anterior neck disc surgery is for people with nerve or spinal cord symptoms. If you need this type of operation, it may help doctors better choose treatments and plan healthcare resources.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04634383Recruiting
Testing a brain-connected implant to help some blind people see
This early safety study tests an implanted device placed in the brain to help people with very limited sight (no or minimal light). It focuses on whether the implant can be safely used and whether it may support vision-related signals over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 19–70 - NCT04642807Recruiting
Treatment study for minor elbow fractures in young children
This trial looks at how to manage a specific, usually less severe elbow fracture in children ages 3–8. It may help doctors choose the best way to treat “Type 1” supracondylar fractures that are not displaced.
South BrisbaneAges 3–8 - NCT04644042Recruiting
Surgery for shoulder pain after non-surgical treatment fails
This trial looks at whether arthroscopic subacromial decompression surgery helps people whose “impingement” shoulder pain hasn’t improved after supervised exercises and an injection. It may help if your symptoms match their specific non-responder pattern and you can complete rehab visits.
Hvidovre, DenmarkAges 18–99 - NCT04663893Recruiting
Study of fractures around implants after injury or surgery
This study looks at how often certain shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee fractures happen around orthopedic hardware (implants), and how they affect recovery and outcomes. Results may help doctors choose better treatment and predict risks for patients with these fracture types.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04670640Recruiting
Study of brain and therapy factors in trauma-related dissociation
This study looks at how dissociation (feeling detached or unreal) works in people who have had trauma. It tests different “mechanistic” approaches to better understand the brain and how to help, and whether participation can reduce these symptoms.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–65 - NCT04670900Recruiting
Surgery options for displaced elbow fractures in older adults
This study looks at how to treat a displaced fracture at the tip of the elbow bone (olecranon) in older adults. The goal is to find the best way to heal the fracture while keeping elbow function as good as possible.
Sandvika, GjettumAges 75 years+ - NCT04676828Recruiting
SPECT-guided radiation to avoid healthy lung in lung cancer
This study tests a special imaging-guided radiation plan that aims to treat lung cancer while reducing radiation to healthy lung tissue. It may help lower lung side effects while keeping the cancer treatment focused on tumor areas.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04696523RecruitingPhase 2
Xenon gas for brain injury after a ruptured brain aneurysm
This Phase 2 study tests whether xenon gas can reduce brain injury after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (a bleeding caused by a brain aneurysm). It aims to help people who are very sick right after the bleeding by improving brain function outcomes.
Helsinki, HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT04699305Recruiting
Test of ActiGraft for draining skin wounds
This trial studies whether ActiGraft helps heal draining (exuding) skin wounds safely and effectively. If you join, the researchers may use your wound photos and health data to analyze results and publish findings.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT04700527RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
SCFA supplements during belly/pelvis radiation for cancer
This early-phase study tests whether an SCFA (fatty-acid) supplement can improve how patients tolerate radiation to the abdomen or pelvis. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the supplement or a comparison treatment, while they receive their planned radiation.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04708613Recruiting
Brain testing study for former football players and controls
This study looks at how the brain and thinking may be affected by playing professional football, using brain scans and thinking tests. It also compares former players with similar men who did not play organized football beyond high school.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 29–59 - NCT04712591Recruiting
Testing a recovery approach for people with severe brain injury
This study is testing a recovery strategy for adults who are in intensive care after a severe brain injury and are not able to follow commands. It may help doctors learn better ways to support recovery in this critical situation.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04718168Recruiting
Test of Gore ENFORM patch to reinforce certain hernia repairs
This study looks at whether the Gore ENFORM biomaterial patch helps reinforce the stitch line in specific ventral or hiatal hernia repairs. It will compare outcomes after surgery and follow patients for healing and safety.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04721717Recruiting
Workshop for healing writing after paralysis
This trial tests whether a structured writing workshop can help people living with paralysis and their ALS caregivers. It focuses on communication through words (spoken or written) to support well-being.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04755699RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Electrical stimulation study for hand or limb movement recovery
This early-stage study tests whether regular, skin-based electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis or weakness regain movement. You would attend frequent clinic sessions for months, while the team checks your ability to follow instructions and your safety.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT04760977Recruiting
HEMS care for bleeding trauma with low blood pressure
This trial studies how emergency helicopter (HEMS) teams manage trauma patients who have signs of shock from blood loss, especially when bleeding is suspected or ongoing. It may help teams choose the best pre-hospital approach to stabilize you sooner.
AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT04770233Recruiting
Comparing early surgery options for torn ACL
This study looks at the best way to treat a fresh ACL (an important knee ligament) tear by comparing an “early surgery” plan that starts within 12 weeks. It may help guide care and recovery for people who are able to do both the surgery and the follow-up rehabilitation.
