University Park, PennsylvaniaAges 42–64 - NCT06800040Enrolling by invitation
Group memory training for brain injury survivors
This trial tests a group memory training program for people who have had a brain injury at least 6 months ago and still have memory problems. The training is in Norwegian and aims to help improve memory skills.
TromsøAges 18–75 - NCT06793683Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Early Botox for bladder control after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if giving Botox injections early (within 20 weeks of injury) into the bladder muscle can help with bladder function and prevent problems. It may help people with recent, severe spinal cord injuries above the T6 level.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–65 - NCT06797752Recruiting
Stellate ganglion block and retina blood flow study
This trial looks at how a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) affects blood flow in the retina. It may help people who already get this block for conditions like complex regional pain syndrome understand eye effects.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06793644Recruiting
ICG dye imaging for open fractures and infections
This trial tests if injecting a special dye (ICG) during surgery can help doctors see blood flow and infection in open fractures or infected bone areas. The dye glows under a special camera, which may guide better treatment decisions.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06801626RecruitingPhase 3
New ways to reduce burn scar itch
This study tests new ways to reduce itching from burn scars. If you have a burn scar that itches and are between 18 and 79, you may be able to join and try a treatment that could help relieve the itch.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT05748366Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided pain block for broken ribs
This trial tests an ultrasound-guided nerve pain block (in the serratus anterior area) to help relieve pain from one side of recently broken ribs. If it works well, it may reduce how much IV pain medicine or opioid tablets you need while you recover.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04999904Recruiting
Balance training on uneven treadmill for unstable ankles
This study tests a special balance and movement training program on an uneven treadmill to improve ankle stability. It may help people whose ankles “give way” or keep getting sprained, but it requires specific timing after an ankle sprain and the ability to attend sessions for about 6 weeks.
Oceanside, CaliforniaAges 18–49 - NCT06239818Recruiting
Light therapy for concussion recovery in teens
This trial tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help teenagers recover faster from a sports-related concussion. If you qualify, you will receive the light treatment in addition to your usual care, and researchers will track your symptoms and thinking skills over time.
Houston, TexasAges 13–18 - NCT06788925Enrolling by invitation
Testing the Therm'Up heating device for trauma patients
This trial tests a new heating device called 'Therm'Up' to see if it can help prevent or treat hypothermia (dangerously low body temperature) in people who have had a serious injury, are bleeding, have burns, or are stuck in the cold. The goal is to keep patients warm during the time it takes to get them to the hospital.
ÉchirollesAges 18 years+ - NCT06788717Enrolling by invitation
Study on Hip Revision Stem Performance
This study is checking how well a specific hip implant (the Comprehensive Revision Stem) works in people who need hip replacement. It helps make sure the implant is safe and effective over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06372067Recruiting
Screw vs. wire for finger fractures
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing certain finger fractures: a small screw inside the bone (IM screw) versus a thin wire (K-wire). Both are common techniques; this trial aims to see which provides better recovery and comfort.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06788262Recruiting
Brain health study for female pro soccer players
This study looks at how heading the ball and minor head impacts might affect the brain and thinking skills in female professional soccer players, compared to tennis players. It aims to help understand any long-term effects of playing soccer.
StrasbourgAges 32–65 - NCT06782464Recruiting
Freezing nerves for shoulder pain after stroke or brain injury
This trial tests if freezing certain nerves in the upper arm (cryoneurolysis) works as well as standard care for reducing shoulder pain and muscle tightness after a stroke or brain injury. It aims to improve function and ease caregiving tasks.
LuxembourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06782711Enrolling by invitation
Study of 3D-printed skull implants for bone loss repair
This trial tests a custom-made, 3D-printed skull implant to repair missing bone in the head (cranioplasty). It may help people who have a bone defect larger than 1 cm and are in generally good health.
Guadalajara, JaliscoAges 18 years+ - NCT06783231Enrolling by invitation
How do we identify with an aggressor?
This study explores the psychological phenomenon called identification with the aggressor, using tasks that involve reading emotions and association tests. It may help us better understand how people process difficult experiences.
Ages 18 years+ - NCT06632587Recruiting
Early vs. late skull replacement after brain surgery
This trial compares putting the skull piece back early (around 8 weeks after the initial surgery) versus later (after 8 weeks) in people who had a hemicraniectomy for high brain pressure. The goal is to see which timing leads to better outcomes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05736146Recruiting
Testing Gulf War illness blood markers for better diagnosis
This study checks blood tests to see whether they can help confirm Gulf War illness. If you qualify as having Gulf War illness (or are a similar Gulf War veteran without it), your blood and health information may be used to validate these marker tests.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 35 years+ - NCT05992363Recruiting
Comparing stents for malignant ureteral blockage
This trial tests whether using two newer stents (Tandem Polyurethane) works better than the standard single silicone stent for people whose urine tubes are blocked by cancer. The goal is to improve urine flow and relieve discomfort.
Petah TikvaAges 18 years+ - NCT06775925Recruiting
Robot-assisted vs. standard arm therapy for spinal cord injury
This trial compares robot-assisted arm therapy with standard occupational therapy to see which helps people with a recent cervical spinal cord injury regain hand and arm function better. You may be eligible if you are in early rehab and have limited use of your arms or hands.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT06772077Recruiting
Testing a walking robot for kids with spinal cord injury
This study tests a wearable robotic exoskeleton called ATLAS 2030 to help children with a spinal cord injury practice standing and walking. The goal is to see if it is safe and easy to use.

Study of older adults after hip fracture treated in hospitals
This is an observational study that follows people age 65 and older after a hip (femur) fracture to learn about their care and outcomes in participating hospitals. It won’t test a new treatment, but your participation may help improve future care for older patients.
