Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT07869537RecruitingPhase 4
Simplified tranexamic acid dosing for major bleeding after injury
This trial tests a simpler way to give a drug called tranexamic acid to trauma patients with heavy bleeding. The drug helps blood clot and may reduce bleeding, but it is important to check if the simplified approach is as safe as the standard one.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07873151Enrolling by invitation
Voice-activated call light for limited arm mobility
This study tests a voice-activated call light system that lets people with limited arm movement call for help by speaking. It aims to make it easier and safer for clients to get assistance.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT07861958Recruiting
Wrist brace design for children with brain injury
This study asks children aged 6 to 14 who currently use a wrist brace to help design a better one. The goal is to make braces that are more comfortable and easier to use.
Bosisio PariniAges 6–14 - NCT05049057RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a nerve-blocking shot for recent mild TBI
This Phase 2 study tests a medication that blocks a pain signal (a CGRP receptor antibody) in people who recently had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and are also dealing with post-traumatic headache (PTH). The goal is to see if it can reduce symptoms and improve recovery after the injury.
Fort Bragg, North CarolinaAges 18–50 - NCT07860528Recruiting
High-dose brachytherapy for prostate cancer that has returned
This trial tests a type of radiation therapy called high-dose-rate brachytherapy, which is given to men whose prostate cancer has come back after their first treatment. It aims to control the cancer while keeping side effects low.
Benidorm, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT07863557RecruitingPhase 4
Early wear of hip replacement liners
This trial tests how well a type of hip replacement called a dual mobility cup holds up over time, focusing on early signs of wear in the plastic liner. It aims to see if this implant lasts longer and works better for people with hip arthritis or other hip conditions.
Uppsala, Uppsala CountyAges 18–75 - NCT07870044Recruiting
Virtual reality to boost body awareness
This study uses virtual reality to help people feel more connected to their body. It may benefit healthy people or those with spinal cord injury or stroke.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 12–50 - NCT07867899Recruiting
Preventing confusion after hip fracture surgery
This study tests whether a medication called dexmedetomidine, given during or after hip fracture surgery, can help prevent confusion (delirium) that sometimes occurs in older patients after surgery. If you are 65 or older and having hip fracture surgery, this treatment might help you recover more clearly.
AarhusAges 65 years+ - NCT07869511Recruiting
Steroid injection behind the eye for light-damage to the retina
This study tests whether a steroid injection behind the eye (a retrobulbar injection) can help people whose retina (the light-sensing layer at the back of the eye) has been damaged by looking at a strong light source, like a laser or bright flash. The treatment aims to reduce swelling and vision problems that can follow such an injury.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 6 years+ - NCT06271421Recruiting
Nanoparticle heat therapy for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial tests a new treatment for recurrent glioblastoma using tiny magnetic particles (nanoparticles) that are heated to kill cancer cells. The particles are injected into the tumor, and then a magnetic field device heats them up. It's for people who have already tried standard therapy and whose tumor has come back.
PoznanAges 18 years+ - NCT04612907Recruiting
Radiation timing options for low-burden metastatic prostate cancer
This study compares different radiation schedules to the main prostate tumor in men with low-burden metastatic (spread) hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. It may help find a radiation timing approach that controls the cancer while balancing side effects.
