KlagenfurtAges Any age - NCT05146986Recruiting
RibFix versus usual non-surgical care for broken ribs
This trial compares a rib-fix surgery system (RibFix Blu) to non-surgical treatment for certain broken ribs. It looks at which approach helps people heal better and recover with less ongoing trouble after the injury.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05147701RecruitingPhase 1
Testing stem cell treatment for NAION safety
This Phase 1 study tests whether lab-made stem cells taken from donated umbilical cord are safe for people with NAION. It mainly looks for side effects and safety rather than proving the treatment works.
St John'sAges Any age - NCT05150249Recruiting
Study of older adults after hip fracture treated in hospitals
This is an observational study that follows people age 65 and older after a hip (femur) fracture to learn about their care and outcomes in participating hospitals. It won’t test a new treatment, but your participation may help improve future care for older patients.
BaggiovaraAges 65 years+ - NCT05152290RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury
This Phase 1 study tests whether an off-the-shelf stem cell product made from donated umbilical cord tissue is safe for people with spinal cord injury. It mainly looks at side effects and safety, and may help pave the way for future effectiveness studies.
St John'sAges Any age - NCT05151926Recruiting
Rehab trial after tibia bone fracture surgery
This trial studies rehabilitation after a tibia (shinbone) shaft fracture that is fixed with a metal nail. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and to take part in a rehab plan that aims to improve recovery after injury.
Jyväskylä, Central FinlandAges 18–65 - NCT05157282Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation to improve hand function after tetraplegia
This trial tests whether a special device that stimulates the spinal cord can help people with long-lasting neck spinal cord injuries recover useful hand movement and grip strength. It may help your nervous system communicate better so daily hand tasks become easier.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT05163899Recruiting
Surgery to release an occult tethered cord
This trial studies whether a specific back surgery (cutting/releasing part of the filum terminale) helps people with an “occult” tethered cord syndrome when symptoms have not improved with medicine. It may help by reducing traction on the spinal cord to improve bladder/bowel, skin, or nerve-related symptoms.
New York, New YorkAges 2–80 - NCT05163639RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Noninvasive brain and spinal training for spinal cord injury
This early study tests a noninvasive way of training the nervous system to see how it affects “associative plasticity,” or the brain/spinal cord’s ability to change with practice. It may help researchers learn strategies that could improve function for people with spinal cord injury.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT05165056Recruiting
Light therapy to prevent vaginal side effects from radiation
This study tests whether photobiomodulation (a light-based therapy) can help prevent and lessen vaginal problems caused by radiation for endometrial cancer. If you get radiation to the pelvis, the trial aims to improve comfort and reduce tightening or damage over time.
Genk, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05165927Recruiting
Testing ways to rehabilitate the hip after arthroscopy
This study compares different rehabilitation methods after hip arthroscopy surgery for common causes of hip pain, like labral tears or femoroacetabular impingement. It may help find a recovery plan that works better and whether a smartphone blood-flow-restriction tool can be used safely.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18–60 - NCT05169632Recruiting
Computer brain training for thinking problems after stroke
This trial tests a computerized “cognitive rehabilitation” program aimed at improving executive thinking skills after a stroke. It may help people who still struggle with areas like attention, planning, or mental flexibility.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT05170815Recruiting
Spine Device Registry for Adults Getting Commercial Devices
This study is a registry that collects information about adults who use specific, commercially available spine devices. It may help doctors understand how these devices are used in real-world care and what outcomes look like over time.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05174611RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin D to strengthen the thigh after ACL surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking vitamin D can improve thigh (quadriceps) muscle strength after ACL reconstruction. It targets people with low vitamin D levels that persist after surgery and weaker thigh strength on the injured side.
Hong KongAges 18–40 - NCT05176392Recruiting
Stimulation treatment plus therapy for post-injury headaches
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment combined with therapy can reduce long-lasting headaches after a mild brain injury. You might be a good candidate if your headaches started after the injury and have continued for months.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT05178056Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulator to improve breathing after spinal injury
This study looks at whether a spinal cord stimulator can improve breathing and lung function in adults with a certain type of spinal cord injury. It may help people who have ongoing breathing weakness after their injury.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT05183074Recruiting
MRI-guided focused radiation for prostate cancer
This trial tests a newer way to plan and deliver radiation for prostate cancer using real-time MRI guidance. It may help by aiming high-dose treatment precisely while treating nearby disease and (in some cases) limited metastatic spots.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05187650Recruiting
Powered exoskeleton plus electrical stimulation for incomplete spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a powered walking exoskeleton together with electrical muscle stimulation (FES) can improve walking and movement in people with long-term, incomplete spinal cord injury. It may help you stand and walk more safely and effectively than standard care alone.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT05189496Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen to help prevent radiation-related lung injury
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen) can prevent lung inflammation caused by breast cancer radiation. It may help reduce the risk of radiation pneumonitis in certain breast cancer survivors.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05190718Recruiting
Pharyngeal electrical stimulation for swallowing trouble after brain injury
This trial tests a non-drug therapy that uses gentle electrical stimulation to help people swallow safely when swallowing is affected by certain brain or nerve conditions. If you qualify, you may receive this approach to improve swallowing and reduce choking risk.
Tulln, Low AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05192876Recruiting
Review of outcomes and side effects during radiation treatment
This study collects information about results and side effects from people receiving radiation therapy at a specific hospital. It may help improve how radiation treatment is planned and monitored in the future.
