Collecting brain injury data from people treated soon
This study collects medical and test information from people who have a confirmed brain injury (TBI) and arrive at the emergency room within 12 hours. Doctors hope the collected clinical and lab data will help better understand TBI and improve future care.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT05541250RecruitingPhase 1
Stem-like nerve cell treatment for severe nerve injuries
This Phase 1 study tests whether adding a patient’s own nerve support cells to a severely injured nerve is safe and helpful. It’s for people with recent major nerve damage in an arm or leg, with strict safety checks.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT05553353Recruiting
Repeated brain stimulation for depression after spinal cord injury
This study tests a non-drug treatment called repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to reduce depression symptoms in people with depression after a spinal cord injury. You might be eligible if you have ongoing major depression and can safely receive magnetic pulses to the head.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–60 - NCT05553457Recruiting
Active hand brace study for C6–C7 spinal cord injury
This trial tests an active hand brace designed to help people with C6–C7 spinal cord injury improve hand and finger movement. It may help with daily hand use by training and supporting weaker motor control after injury.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05555459Recruiting
Testing a screw system for foot and ankle surgery
This study checks how safe and well an “Inion CompressOn” screw system works during foot and ankle operations. It may help patients by improving how surgeons fix bones while also collecting safety and recovery information.
TampereAges 18 years+ - NCT05559164RecruitingPhase 2
Statins to protect the heart during HER2 breast cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a cholesterol medicine (a statin) can lower the risk of heart damage in people receiving HER2-targeted breast cancer therapy. If you qualify, you may be given a statin and followed with heart tests and blood work to watch for safety and benefit.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05562232Recruiting
Creatine for persistent concussion symptoms after 6–18 months
This trial studies whether creatine monohydrate can improve long-lasting symptoms after a concussion. It’s for adults whose symptoms have lasted between 6 and 18 months.
OdenseAges 20–45 - NCT05563103Recruiting
Combination therapy to improve spinal cord injury recovery
This trial studies a combination of treatments to help people with certain types of spinal cord injury regain some movement and feeling over time. If you meet the specific injury and health criteria, you may be asked to do simple walking and assessment tests during treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT05566431Recruiting
Check monitoring for high brain pressure after child head injury
This study looks at a way of measuring and responding to high pressure inside the brain in children after a non-penetrating head injury. It may help doctors decide which monitoring approach works best for children who are very sick right after injury or become worse quickly.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 1–12 - NCT05587517RecruitingPhase 2
Support for family decision-makers of critically ill patients
This Phase 2 study tests interventions to support family surrogate decision-makers when a loved one is very sick in the ICU and is nearing end-of-life. It may help by reducing distress and pre-loss grief through structured support delivered by phone or video.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05588115Recruiting
Test blood biomarkers to help diagnose concussion
This study checks whether a blood test can accurately and quickly identify an uncomplicated concussion. It may help doctors confirm concussion sooner and more reliably, and potentially reduce time and cost of diagnosis.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–65 - NCT05588583Recruiting
Tracking drainage from chronic leg or foot ulcers with a dressing
This study follows how much fluid (drainage) a chronic ulcer produces over time using a dressing called Mepilex Up. It may help clinicians better understand how this dressing manages “exuding” ulcers on the leg or foot.
Castro Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05588791Recruiting
Whole-body CT in the ER to spot low-risk trauma patients
This study looks at whether doing a whole-body CT scan in the emergency room can help identify adults who are at low risk after a road accident or fall. It may help doctors decide who can be managed with less intensive testing or monitoring.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT05589064Recruiting
Diet and nutrition program for lingering concussion symptoms
This study tests whether a dietary and nutrition intervention can improve symptoms that linger after a concussion. It may help people whose post-concussion symptoms have lasted a short to medium time (at least 2 weeks).
Moncton, New BrunswickAges 16 years+ - NCT05593146RecruitingPhase 2
3D hip reconstruction surgery to prevent dislocation
This trial compares a modified hip implant positioning method to lower the chance of the hip “slipping out of place” (dislocation) after major hip tumor surgery and reconstruction. If you qualify, you may help test whether a small change in implant angle improves stability and function.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 16 years+ - NCT05593887Recruiting
Compare three surgeries for late hip dislocation in non-walking children with CP
This trial looks at which surgery works best for children with cerebral palsy who do not walk and have a neglected, deformed hip that has dislocated for a long time. The goal is to compare outcomes after three different hip procedures.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges Any age - NCT05598879Recruiting
New heart-cancer visit registry for adults
This study is a “registry,” meaning it collects health information from adults who are getting a new heart (cardio) evaluation related to cancer. It helps doctors better understand heart risks and care needs for different cancer types and treatments.
Weston, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05603728Recruiting
Follow-up study for Exactech shoulder implants after surgery
This study follows people who get (or already had) a shoulder replacement to see how the implant is doing over time. It may help improve future care by tracking long-term performance and safety.
Laguna Woods, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT05606822Recruiting
Vacuum endoscopy for leaks after esophagus stomach surgery
This trial studies an endoscopic vacuum treatment (a suction device placed through an endoscope) to help heal a leak after surgery where food/drink pathways were connected (an anastomosis). If you had an esophago-gastric leak, this treatment may be part of your care plan and is being studied for effectiveness and safety.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05608317Recruiting
Track healing of draining leg ulcers with a foam dressing
This study follows how a non-bordered foam dressing helps chronic leg ulcers that leak fluid (exuding). It mainly aims to see how the wound changes over time, and whether the dressing is comfortable and effective along with standard care.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05615766Recruiting
Robotic arm exoskeleton rehab for people with arm weakness
This trial tests a robotic device that helps move your arm and hand during rehabilitation, with the goal of improving elbow and hand function. You may be a good fit if you have certain nerve/spinal cord injury levels and can still make some finger and elbow muscle movements at the start.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05616130Recruiting
Study of abnormal blood immune activation after trauma or elective hip surgery
This study looks at how the body’s blood-related immune system “switches on” in unusual ways after a major injury or elective hip repair. The researchers hope this helps them understand who is at risk for complications and why, by measuring changes in your blood around the time of surgery or hospital treatment.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT05622461Recruiting
Recovery support program for children after traumatic brain injury
This trial supports families during the early weeks after a child’s brain injury and hospital stay. It aims to help caregivers and children move toward recovery with better support after discharge.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05624164Recruiting
Microfracture surgery to help rotator cuff tears heal
This trial studies a specific surgical technique (microfracture) to help the rotator cuff heal after repair. You might be eligible if you have a rotator cuff tear of a certain size on MRI and have not improved with non-surgical treatments.
