How food affects calorie burning in high spinal cord injury
This study looks at how people with high spinal cord injuries (at or above the T6 level) burn calories after eating compared to people without spinal cord injuries. It aims to understand if injury affects food-related heat production, which may help improve nutrition and weight management.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT07105189Recruiting
Study of wireless vital sign monitors after spinal surgery
This trial tests whether a wireless, wearable monitor can safely track your heart rate and other vital signs after complex spinal surgery, reducing the need for frequent nurse checks. If you are having extensive back surgery and stay in the hospital for at least 3 days, you may be eligible.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07097077Recruiting
Brain changes after ACL surgery with special training
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to see how a special type of movement training affects the brain after ACL surgery. If you've had an ACL repair and are active in sports, you may be eligible.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18–30 - NCT07103200Recruiting
Decision-making fatigue after traumatic brain injury
This study looks at how making decisions can feel more tiring after a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury compared to people without a brain injury. It uses computer tasks to measure fatigue.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07103590Recruiting
Comparing two plates for fixing jaw angle fractures
This trial compares two types of metal plates used to fix a broken lower jaw angle. It aims to see which method works better and helps patients heal faster.
AlexandriaAges 20–50 - NCT07097480Recruiting
Study on virus spread from monkey bites to people
This study looks at whether viruses can be transmitted to people who have been bitten by a non-human primate (like a monkey). It aims to understand the risk and gather information that could help prevent infection.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05993351Recruiting
Concussion assessment using MRI and blood tests
This study uses MRI scans and blood tests to measure brain recovery after a concussion. It will help doctors understand how concussions affect the brain and find better ways to diagnose them.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 9–50 - NCT07092579Recruiting
Smart crutch tips for guided weight-bearing after shinbone fracture
This trial tests a smart crutch tip device that helps guide how much weight you put on your leg after a broken shinbone surgery. It aims to make recovery safer and more predictable.
Kyiv, Kyiv OblastAges 18–80 - NCT06568536Recruiting
EEG Study to Predict Recovery After Brain Injury
This study uses a special EEG test to measure brain activity in people who are not fully conscious after a recent brain injury. The goal is to find better ways to know if someone will wake up and recover thinking abilities.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06813430Recruiting
Ultrasound vs standard care for fingertip wound healing
This study tests a special low-frequency ultrasound device to see if it helps fingertip injuries heal faster than a standard treatment. The ultrasound treatment does not touch your skin, so it may be gentler and help reduce pain or scarring.
Bethlehem, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07086482RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gum graft healing: adhesive glue vs. collagen sponge
This study tests whether a quick-drying glue (cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive) helps the roof of your mouth heal better after a gum graft than a traditional collagen sponge. It may reduce pain and speed recovery for people needing this type of periodontal surgery.
BeirutAges 18 years+ - NCT07090473Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for recent spinal cord injury recovery
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation (called TENS) can help recovery after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are already in the ICU with a drain in their lower back and had a blunt injury within the past 12 hours.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT07090616Recruiting
Comparing two knee braces after ACL surgery
This study compares two different knee braces used after ACL surgery to see which one helps people recover better. If you are having your first ACL reconstruction, you may be able to join and help find out if one brace works better than the other.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07092423Recruiting
Special liquid tube feed for brain injury patients
This study tests a special liquid formula (semi-elemental nutrition) given through a feeding tube to people with severe traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this formula is easier on the stomach and causes fewer digestive problems than standard tube feeds.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT07090057Recruiting
Targeting the plantaris muscle in ankle surgery for children
This study tests if removing the plantaris muscle during surgery improves ankle movement in children with tight heel cords. It aims to see if this extra step leads to better outcomes.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 4–17 - NCT07091344Recruiting
VR-based therapy for voice hearing in schizophrenia
This study tests whether a virtual reality therapy that lets you talk to an avatar of the voice you hear can help reduce distress and improve thinking skills. It's for people with schizophrenia who hear voices regularly and are on stable medication.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07086638Recruiting
