Chest wall repair with custom 3D-printed titanium implant
This study is testing a new way to repair large chest wall defects using a custom-made 3D-printed titanium implant. It may help people who need chest wall reconstruction after cancer surgery, a bad injury, or damage from infection or radiation.
Cruces, Basque CountryAges 18 years+ - NCT07023653Recruiting
ACL repair: comparing all-inside vs. standard tunnel surgery
This study compares two ways of repairing a torn ACL: a newer 'all-inside' method versus a standard tunnel method. It is designed for adults with a simple ACL tear, not for those with multiple ligament injuries, severe cartilage damage, or active infection.
DepokAges 18–65 - NCT07019571Recruiting
Brain stimulation for skin picking and nail biting urges
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation method called tDCS can help reduce urges to pick skin or bite nails. It involves wearing a headband that delivers a small electrical current for about 20 minutes during sessions.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–60 - NCT06736457Recruiting
Safety and performance of AdvanCore bone void filler
This study tests a new bone filler called AdvanCore for people with a single bone fracture or defect that needs a graft. It aims to see if the filler is safe and works well to help the bone heal.
Guimarães, Braga DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT06999161Recruiting
Tracking Antibiotic Levels in ICU Brain Injury Patients
This study monitors the amount of certain antibiotics in the blood of patients with acute brain injury in the intensive care unit. It aims to make sure the antibiotics are at the right level to fight infection, especially in patients whose kidneys are clearing drugs faster than normal.
NîmesAges 18 years+ - NCT04875052Recruiting
Study vibration after ACL injury and future arthritis risk
This study looks at whether using vibration after an ACL injury helps predict or reduce the risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis) later. It may help researchers learn which patients are more likely to develop arthritis after ACL reconstruction.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 16–35 - NCT05814094Recruiting
Testing a red blood transfusion approach during ECMO
This study looks at whether giving red blood cell transfusions in a specific way is practical and safe for people receiving ECMO (a heart-lung support machine). It’s mainly a feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the plan can be carried out smoothly and safely.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05976256Recruiting
Kinesio tape for new shoulder or chest injuries
This trial looks at whether kinesio tape (elastic therapeutic tape) helps pain and movement after a fresh shoulder or chest wall injury. It’s designed for certain types of rib, collarbone, or shoulder joint injuries when the injury happened very recently.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07005063Recruiting
Rotator cuff repair with FiberLocker patch
This trial tests a new patch, FiberLocker, to help repair a torn rotator cuff tendon. It's for people who need surgery for a full-thickness tear caused by an injury, and aims to improve healing.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 40–65 - NCT07011420Recruiting
Testing different prosthetics controls for arm amputees
This trial tests how different numbers and types of muscle signals (myoelectric) affect control of a prosthetic hand and wrist. It aims to find the best setup for people with a below-elbow amputation who have used a myoelectric prosthetic before.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06700304Recruiting
Brain implant to help control devices with thoughts
This clinical trial tests a brain-computer interface (a small device implanted in the brain) that may help people with severe paralysis control external devices like a computer or tablet using only their thoughts. The study is for adults with paralysis from a spinal cord injury or ALS, and requires a stable caregiver.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19 years+ - NCT07006675RecruitingPhase 3
NSAIDs for Tibia Fracture Pain and Healing Study
This study tests whether NSAID pain relievers (like ibuprofen) affect bone healing after a broken tibia and if they can help reduce the need for stronger painkillers. If you qualify, you could help doctors learn the safest way to manage pain after this common injury.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT07009392Recruiting
Bacteria in the knee during ACL surgery
This study looks for bacteria inside the knee joint during ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) surgery, either for the first time or after a previous surgery. The goal is to learn more about the knee's natural bacteria, which might help improve recovery and prevent infections.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07006168RecruitingPhase 4
Knee Injection During Kneecap Fracture Surgery
This trial tests adding a pain-relieving injection (a 'cocktail' of medicines) into the knee joint during surgery to fix a broken kneecap. The goal is to see if this extra injection helps reduce pain and improve recovery after the operation.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07003932Recruiting
Remote monitoring after knee replacement surgery
This trial tests a remote monitoring program for people having knee replacement surgery. It uses a smartphone app to track your recovery, so you can stay in touch with your care team without needing extra clinic visits.
Oslo, Please SelectAges 50 years+ - NCT07003906Recruiting
Negative pressure therapy for emergency belly surgery incisions
This trial tests if negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) helps heal large cuts from emergency belly surgery better than a standard dressing. It may reduce infections and improve recovery.
EskilstunaAges 18 years+ - NCT07007884Recruiting
Ear stimulation to improve heart function after spinal cord injury
This trial uses mild electrical stimulation through the ear to see if it can improve how the heart works in people who have had a spinal cord injury. It is designed for individuals with neck-level injuries who also experience episodes of sudden high blood pressure (autonomic dysreflexia).
AnkaraAges 18–60 - NCT07012850Enrolling by invitation
MRI for dental and facial injury evaluation
This study uses MRI instead of CT or X-ray to look at injuries to teeth, mouth, and face. It might help find a safer way to image your injury without radiation.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges Any age - NCT07008716RecruitingPhase 3
Omitting CTV for primary tumor in limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether treating the main tumor alone, without the nearby lymph nodes, can work as well in limited-stage small cell lung cancer after initial chemotherapy. You may qualify if you have not had disease progression after 2-4 cycles of standard chemo and meet other health criteria.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07013019Recruiting
Normal knee rotation in athletes
This study measures normal knee rotation in athletes who play sports with pivoting movements. It helps doctors understand what healthy knee motion looks like, so they can better diagnose injuries.
Toulon, VarAges 15 years+ - NCT07009379Recruiting
Testing a pillow brace for sleep after rotator cuff repair

ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07004218Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound follow-up after massive rotator cuff tear surgery
This trial uses ultrasound imaging to check how the shoulder heals over the first year after surgery for a large tear in the rotator cuff (the group of tendons that helps lift and rotate your arm). The goal is to better understand recovery and improve care for people with this injury.
