Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 6 months+ - NCT06867185Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for nerve healing after finger nerve repair
This trial tests whether giving a small electrical signal during surgery helps nerves in the finger heal better after they are repaired. It might help you regain feeling and movement faster.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT06868108Enrolling by invitation
Rotator cuff repair with flexible anchors: study of healing
This study follows people who had rotator cuff repair using a special stitching system with anchors (FSSA). It checks how well the tendon heals by looking at MRI scans taken about a year after surgery.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT06860828Enrolling by invitation
Football players and brain health study: DIAGNOSE CTE
This study looks at brain changes in former college and professional football players, people with memory problems, and healthy controls. It aims to learn more about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's disease.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 50 years+ - NCT06863688Enrolling by invitation
Ankle fracture surgery with tourniquet study
This trial compares tourniquet use during ankle fracture surgery. It looks at outcomes for patients with a simple (closed) ankle fracture caused by a ground-level fall who are having metal plates and screws placed.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–65 - NCT06859996Recruiting
Cognitive rehab study for memory and focus after mild brain injury
This study tests two different types of cognitive rehabilitation (education and problem-solving strategies) delivered via video appointments. It may help people with ongoing thinking and memory problems after a mild brain injury.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06866054Recruiting
A block for shoulder surgery pain relief
This trial tests a nerve block to reduce pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. It might help you have less pain and recovery time after the procedure.
Istanbul, BagcilarAges 18–75 - NCT06866691RecruitingPhase 4
Seizure prevention after traumatic brain injury
This trial tests two medicines, levetiracetam and lacosamide, to see which works better at preventing seizures in people who have had a traumatic brain injury. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to protect your brain after injury.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06858488Recruiting
Bioimpedance study for bone fracture recovery
This trial uses a device to measure how your body heals after a serious arm or leg fracture. It may help doctors better understand and track recovery.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06868316Recruiting
Sound-guided walking training for chronic ankle instability
This study tests whether using sound cues while walking can improve balance and ankle stability in people with chronic ankle instability. You may be eligible if you have had repeated ankle sprains and a feeling of your ankle "giving way" in the last 6 months.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–45 - NCT06867809Recruiting
Spinal and brain stimulation for arm movement after neck injury
This study tests whether using a combination of spinal and brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a cervical spinal cord injury (neck area) at least one year ago. It is for those with some remaining movement but not full strength.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06862635Enrolling by invitation
Hydrotherapy for balance after burn nerve damage
This trial tests if water therapy (hydrotherapy) can improve balance in people who have nerve damage in their feet after a leg burn. It may help you if you have trouble standing steadily due to a burn on the sole of your foot.
GizaAges 35–45 - NCT06753110Recruiting
Long-term safety of OPRA implant for arm amputees
This study checks the long-term safety and how well the OPRA implant (a bone-anchored prosthetic) works for people who have an arm amputation. It is for those who already have the implant and had their second surgery at least six months ago.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges Any age - NCT04054414RecruitingPhase 2
Drug study for improving recovery after acute spinal cord injury
This Phase 2 trial tests sotateltide (PMZ-1620) in people with a recent spinal cord injury. It aims to see whether the drug can improve neurological recovery after injury, especially in certain levels and types of incomplete injuries.
BelagaviAges 18–75 - NCT06857084Recruiting
Rotator cuff repair with REGENETEN implant study
This study tracks how well patients recover after rotator cuff repair surgery using the REGENETEN bioinductive implant. It aims to see if the implant helps improve healing and outcomes.
Windsor, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06855186Recruiting
Rehabilitation for concussion based on your symptoms
This study tests a symptom-focused rehabilitation program for people who had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) at least 3 months ago. It aims to help with ongoing cognitive complaints like memory or concentration problems.
Wahiawa, HawaiiAges 18–64 - NCT06847256Recruiting
Genetic risk for heat stroke study
This study looks for a possible genetic link to heat stroke. Researchers will compare heat responses in people who carry the cystic fibrosis gene against those who do not.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–60 - NCT06853938Recruiting
Optimizing control of a prosthetic arm after osseointegration surgery
This study looks at a new way to control a prosthetic arm after you have had osseointegration surgery (where a metal implant is placed in your bone to attach the arm). It will help find the best settings for the muscle signals that control the arm.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–65 - NCT06852300Enrolling by invitation
Concussion recovery study for athletes

This study tests if a neck brace (orthosis) works well for treating stable neck fractures without surgery. It may be an option if you have a recent, mild neck break and are healthy enough for non-surgical care.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06848023Enrolling by invitation
Shoulder replacement vs tendon repair in older adults
This study compares how well two different shoulder surgeries—reverse total shoulder replacement and rotator cuff repair—work for people 60 and older, at least one year after the operation. If you meet the age and surgery requirements, your results could help doctors decide which procedure is better for older adults.
