Simpler rehab plan after ankle or tibial plafond fracture
This trial tests whether a simpler “at-home” rehabilitation plan after ankle or lower-leg bone (tibial plafond) fractures works as well as standard care. It may help you recover strength and walking function with less clinic time.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT05292001RecruitingPhase 4
Single IV iron dose for anemia after leg or pelvic fractures
This trial tests whether giving a one-time IV iron treatment can improve anemia (low blood count) after surgery for a leg or pelvic fracture. It may help your body make red blood cells faster after blood loss from the injury and operation.
Portland, OregonAges 18–89 - NCT05292339RecruitingPhase 4
Ketorolac shot for painful hand and arm tendon/joint problems
This trial studies whether a ketorolac injection can safely reduce pain and symptoms from certain shoulder, elbow, hand, or wrist tendon or joint conditions. It may help people who haven’t had surgery for the problem yet.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05300607Recruiting
Arabic rotator cuff shoulder questionnaire for tendon tears
This study tests an Arabic version of a shoulder questionnaire for people with rotator cuff problems. It may help doctors better understand symptoms and track how well treatment works using a tool written in your language.
CairoAges 18–60 - NCT05301959Recruiting
Electrolysis treatment for Achilles tendon pain
This trial studies whether percutaneous electrolysis can improve long-lasting Achilles tendon pain. It compares the treatment against a placebo and aims to reduce pain and symptoms in people with MRI-proven tendinopathy.
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires F.D.Ages 18–65 - NCT05302999RecruitingPhase 4
Early gabapentin for recovery after spinal cord injury
This trial studies whether starting gabapentin within 5 days after a traumatic spinal cord injury is safe and helpful for early recovery. It will mainly look at feasibility—whether patients can take the medicine and whether it affects early neurologic progress.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05307640Recruiting
Support for caregivers after moderate to severe brain injury
This study tests a caregiver-focused program to improve well-being for people caring for someone who recently had a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. It may help caregivers feel better and cope more effectively during the early recovery period.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05317390Recruiting
Tests an AI tool to diagnose isolated dystonia
This trial checks whether an AI (software) called DystoniaNet can accurately identify isolated dystonia using information from your evaluation, and compares its results to standard diagnosis. If you have focal, segmental, or generalized dystonia, this study may help improve faster and more accurate diagnosis in the future.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05317832RecruitingPhase 2
Smartphone program to increase daily movement after spinal cord injury
This Phase 2 study tests whether a smartphone and smartwatch plan can help people with spinal cord injury be more physically active. It may help you build safer, more consistent movement if you’re already ready to be active and can use your arms.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT05320822Recruiting
Rehab program study for recent mild concussion
This study tests a practical rehabilitation approach for people with a recent mild concussion (mTBI). You may be able to join if your injury happened recently and your symptoms match a “mild” concussion pattern on your medical record.
Fort Liberty, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT05323474Recruiting
Rehab program after ACL surgery to return to competitive sport
This study tests an “optimized” rehabilitation plan after ACL reconstruction to help people safely return to competitive sports. It’s for people who had an ACL surgery and still want to play sports that involve cutting, pivoting, or contact.
Challes-les-EauxAges 18–25 - NCT05327829RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a brain-stimulation approach after concussion recovery
This early study tests whether a brain-stimulation method can help after recovery from a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), sometimes called concussion. It also may include healthy volunteers to compare safety and computer-based brain measures.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05327699RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Ketamine study for depression with reduced pleasure
This early-phase study tests whether ketamine can help people with major depression who have trouble feeling pleasure. It also studies how the brain may change in response to stress, to better understand who might respond to treatment.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–65 - NCT05327933Recruiting
Preventing chronic bleeding from the brain’s covering after surgery
This trial looks at whether a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization can help stop chronic subdural hematoma (slow bleeding/collection under the brain covering) from coming back after your first surgery. It studies an added endovascular treatment right after your operation to reduce recurrence.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05329584Recruiting
Testing faster rehab after large rotator cuff surgery
This study tests whether an accelerated (faster) rehabilitation plan after surgery works as well as standard care for people with a large, multi-tendon rotator cuff tear. It may help you recover function sooner, depending on how your tear and health fit the study rules.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 65 years+ - NCT05331118Recruiting
Study of complications and long-term outcomes after major surgery
This study follows people after planned, higher-risk surgery to learn what complications happen and how patients do long-term. It may help doctors predict risks and improve care for people having similar operations.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT05337982Recruiting
Exercise training with stimulation after spinal cord injury
This study tests a special exercise program (with muscle training and possible stimulation) soon after spinal cord injury to see how muscles and the body respond. It also includes healthy adults to compare measurements and biomarkers.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT05337618RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a medication approach to improve brain recovery after severe head injury
This Phase 2 trial is testing a combination medication strategy to improve outcomes after severe traumatic brain injury that needs emergency brain surgery soon after the injury. It may help by affecting how injured brain cells respond, aiming to improve survival or recovery.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT05339360Recruiting
Study of an antibiotic-coated thighbone nail after femur fracture
This study looks at a specific type of thighbone (femur) nail that helps prevent infection, placed during fracture surgery. You may be able to join if you’re having surgery for a femur fracture or needing an osteotomy and your treatment plan includes this nail.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Santa Cruz de TenerifeAges 18 years+ - NCT05342441Recruiting
Choosing the best ligament graft for ACL repair
This study looks at how different “grafts” (tissue used to rebuild the ACL) affect outcomes after first-time ACL reconstruction. It may help personalize graft choice for people who want to return to physical activity.
HvidovreAges 18–40 - NCT05344001Recruiting
Study links past sports injuries and low activity to later health
This study looks at how an earlier sports injury and time spent being inactive may relate to later health problems. It mainly needs specific age groups and either current/former collegiate athletes or non-athlete comparison participants.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–64 - NCT05344898Recruiting
Reverse shoulder replacement study
This trial looks at people getting a reverse shoulder replacement, including some revision surgeries (operations done again). It may help doctors better plan care for different shoulder problems by studying surgical eligibility and outcomes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–95 - NCT05345015Recruiting
Radio waves for muscle or low back pain and function
This trial tests whether a high-frequency radio-wave treatment can reduce pain and improve movement in adults with a muscle strain (hamstring) or acute or chronic low back pain. It may help you feel less pain and function better, depending on your specific injury and medical details.
KavalaAges 18–65 - NCT05347875Recruiting
App training to improve walking aid skills
This trial tests an app-based program meant to help people who already use walking aids learn and practice safer walking aid skills. It may help you move more comfortably if you can use the app and communicate with the study team.
