AI vs surgeon planning for hip fracture screw placement
This trial compares an artificial-intelligence system to standard surgeon planning for placing screws in a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). It tests whether AI can improve the placement of screws that hold the bone together during healing.
WuhanAges 18 years+ - NCT06938789Recruiting
Bleeding and confusion after hip fracture in older adults
This study looks at how bleeding after a hip fracture might affect confusion (delirium) in older adults. It will help doctors understand how to better manage bleeding to prevent confusion.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 75 years+ - NCT05578560Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab after vestibular schwannoma surgery
This trial studies whether virtual reality (VR) exercises can help people recover movement and balance after surgery for a vestibular schwannoma. If you’re eligible, you may be asked to use VR as part of your rehabilitation program.

ToulouseAges 18–65 - NCT06930716Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation with physical therapy for consciousness disorders
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (a nerve in the neck) can help people with long-term disorders of consciousness move better during physical therapy. It may be an option if you are still in a coma, vegetative, or minimally conscious state and have been stable for more than 6 weeks.
New York, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT06923423Recruiting
Cognitive processing therapy for drug use and trauma in prison
This study tests if a type of therapy called cognitive processing therapy (CPT) can help people in prison who have both a drug use problem and trauma-related stress. If you qualify, you would receive CPT and be compared to those getting usual care.
