Ultrasound test for abdominal injuries in children after blunt trauma
This study looks at how well an abdominal ultrasound test (FAST) works for children who come to the emergency department after a serious blunt injury to the belly or torso. The goal is to help doctors find dangerous internal bleeding or organ injury quickly and safely.

Early pain block to help breathing after severe chest trauma
This study tests whether an early pain-numbing injection to the chest wall can reduce how much ventilator support (breathing machine) people need after severe blunt chest injury with multiple rib fractures. If it works, it may help patients breathe more easily and spend less time on ventilation in the ICU.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05921175Recruiting
Stimulation and robotic walking training for incomplete spinal injuries
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal area plus robotic gait training can improve walking function in people with a traumatic spinal cord injury who are not walking independently. It’s meant for people with incomplete injuries where some nerve signals still work, and who can safely use the robotic exoskeleton.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–65 - NCT05921279Recruiting
Study heart events in people with breast cancer
This study looks at what heart-related side effects happen in women with breast cancer who are planned to receive chemotherapy. It may help doctors better understand and monitor these risks during treatment.

Body temperature targets in heat stroke patients
This study looks at different early body temperature goals in people who have heat stroke and checks how those choices relate to recovery and outcomes. You might join if you’re an adult with heat stroke and can give consent (or a family member can).
Yiwu, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05923931Recruiting
Warm blanket study for people with heat stroke
This trial tests whether a non-cooling blanket can manage body temperature in people with heat stroke, and compares it to standard cooling methods. It may help find a simpler, less intensive way to control dangerous overheating.
Guli, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05924178Recruiting
Pre-surgery rehab to improve healing after knee ligament injury
This study looks at whether doing physical therapy before surgery can improve tendon healing, bone density, and joint cushioning after ACL surgery or patellar dislocation surgery. It may help you recover better and faster by optimizing your knee before the operation.
BeijingAges 18–45 - NCT05925881Recruiting
Surgery for large shoulder tears: two repair methods compared
This trial compares two surgical approaches to fix a very large, irreparable rotator cuff tear. It may help people understand which technique leads to better shoulder function and recovery.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05926596Recruiting
Leg stretching with an on-demand exoskeleton for spasticity
This trial studies whether a wearable exoskeleton that helps with leg stretching can reduce stiffness and improve movement in people with spasticity after a spinal cord injury. It may help you stretch more safely and comfortably, but you must meet specific health and device-wear requirements.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05926622Recruiting
Testing a Medacta shoulder replacement system for pain relief
This trial studies how well a Medacta shoulder replacement works by looking at clinical results and X-ray/scan findings after surgery. It may help people with certain shoulder conditions who need shoulder replacement or revision surgery.
AnnecyAges 18 years+ - NCT05929911Recruiting
Talk therapy for PTSD in people living with HIV
This trial tests whether trauma-focused psychodynamic talk therapy can reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in people who also live with HIV. It may help by offering structured therapy alongside stable medication.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT05930210RecruitingPhase 3
Study gel treatment for diabetic foot ulcers that won’t heal
This Phase 3 trial tests ENERGI-F703 gel to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not improved for at least 4 weeks. It may help some people whose wounds meet specific size and non-infection criteria.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05936034Recruiting
Hearing aid vs no hearing aid during platinum chemotherapy
This study compares how patients’ quality of life changes when people who have hearing loss from platinum chemotherapy use a hearing aid versus not using one. It may help understand whether hearing aids improve daily life during treatment.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05936619Recruiting
Brain-computer device for communication in people with paralysis
This trial tests a “brain-computer interface” that aims to help people with paralysis communicate. It involves surgery to place a device and uses frequent follow-ups, including daily help from a caregiver to watch the surgical area and behavior.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT05942339Recruiting
Testing ARC-IM lumbar therapy to help walking after spinal cord injury
This study tests a therapy using an implanted spinal array and a lumbar system (ARC-IM) to support mobility in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It focuses on whether the approach is safe and may improve walking or movement over time.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18–65 - NCT05943756Recruiting
Well-being program for adults living with moderate to severe brain injury
This trial tests whether a well-being program can improve quality of life in adults with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) more than a year after the injury. If you meet the language and medical-history requirements, you may be invited to join and complete program sessions and screening.
East Hanover, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05949177Recruiting
Mindfulness and graded exercise for fear after ACL surgery
This trial studies whether a combination of mindfulness practice and a step-by-step return-to-activity plan can reduce fear and improve recovery after ACL reconstruction. It may help people who feel worried about re-injury and want a structured way to get back to sports.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 14–35 - NCT05950022Recruiting
Endoscopic release of the iliopsoas tendon during hip replacement pain
This study looks at whether an endoscopic “cut/release” of the iliopsoas tendon can improve hip symptoms caused by rubbing against a hip prosthesis. It is meant for adults whose first non-surgical treatments did not help.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05953051Recruiting
ACL surgery with a tunnel widened using enriched bone
This trial compares two techniques for ACL reconstruction—one uses an enriched, patient’s own bone during surgery and the other uses the standard approach. It may help researchers understand whether the enriched bone method improves knee healing and function.
ZurichAges 18–50 - NCT05954845Recruiting
Colonic biopsy study in spinal cord injury gut health
This study looks at how the gut (especially nerve function in the bowel and the gut’s protective lining) works in people with spinal cord injury. It uses planned colonoscopy or rectum/sigmoid exams with small tissue samples to understand whether changes in the gut could contribute to health problems.
NantesAges 18–80 - NCT05959434RecruitingPhase 2
Therapy program to reduce drinking relapse and PTSD symptoms
This Phase 2 study tests a combined therapy approach for people who have both alcohol use disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It aims to help you process stressful memories and lower the chances of relapse back to heavy drinking.
