Walking Pattern Study After Ankle Cartilage Repair Surgery
This trial will study how walking patterns change after a type of ankle surgery called microfracture with a scaffold, which helps repair a damaged area of bone and cartilage. It may help you if you have that specific defect and are planning this surgery.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07163234Recruiting
Safety of a groin artery tube for heart surgery
This study is testing a special tube (cannula) placed in the groin artery during heart surgery to connect a heart-lung machine. It's for people who are scheduled for planned heart surgery and may be helped by this refined device.
MassyAges 18 years+ - NCT07158450Enrolling by invitation
Heart health check for cancer patients
This trial tests a new device that monitors heart health during cancer treatment. It uses a simple on-body sensor alongside your regular echocardiogram to see if it can detect heart changes early.
Golden, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06956729Recruiting
Guided hip growth for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a surgery to help guide the growth of the hip bone in children with cerebral palsy whose hips are at risk of slipping out of place. The goal is to prevent hip dislocation and avoid more complex surgery later.
A Coruña, A CoruñaAges 3–8 - NCT07147296Recruiting
Implant to manage blood pressure swings after spinal cord injury
This trial tests an implanted device that may help control drops in blood pressure caused by spinal cord injury. If you often feel dizzy or lightheaded due to low blood pressure, this study could explore whether the device improves stability.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18–75 - NCT07150221Enrolling by invitation
10-year follow-up of vitamin E hip liner
This study follows people who received a special vitamin E infused plastic hip liner (Vivacit-E) during a first-time total hip replacement about 10 years ago. It checks how the implant is holding up over time.

Testing a new painkiller for moderate to severe pain after surgery
This trial tests a new tablet called HL-1186 for people with moderate to severe pain after certain surgeries. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works well for pain control.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT04460872RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone plus walking training to support bones and muscles
This Phase 2 study tests whether testosterone therapy combined with walking training can improve bone and muscle health after a spinal cord injury. It aims to help men with low testosterone and walking problems by improving strength, body composition, and related health markers.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07153536Recruiting
Spinal stimulation and therapy for arm weakness after stroke
This trial tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have significant weakness in one arm.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 22–70 - NCT07151248Recruiting
