Rotator cuff tear study: nerve function and tear size
This study looks at how the size and type of a rotator cuff tear affects the nerve that controls shoulder movement. It may help doctors understand why some tears lead to more pain or weakness.
Stoke-on-TrentAges 18 years+ - NCT06333171RecruitingPhase 2
4-aminopyridine for faster skin wound healing
This trial is testing a medication called 4-aminopyridine (also known as AMPYRA®) to see if it helps skin wounds heal faster. It is for healthy adults who have a wound that can heal on its own, and does not involve any surgery.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–70 - NCT06544408Recruiting
Brain stimulation for fast relief of PTSD
This study tests a rapid, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to reduce PTSD symptoms. It aims to offer a faster way to help adults with PTSD feel better.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT06543277Recruiting
Nerve stimulation with hand therapy for spinal cord injury
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive nerve stimulation on the ear combined with arm and hand therapy to see if it can improve movement and function for people with neck-level spinal cord injury who still have some hand ability.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06533345Recruiting
Pain-free research for chronic pain
This trial studies a collaborative approach to help people with chronic pain, which is pain that lasts beyond a recent injury. It may be a good fit if you're not currently seeking medication for your pain.
Auburn, AlabamaAges 21–80 - NCT06537557Recruiting

Guli, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06542705Recruiting
Internal brace for ACL reconstruction with BTB graft
This trial tests whether adding an internal brace (a strong suture tape) during ACL reconstruction with a BTB graft helps improve knee stability and recovery. It is for people ages 18 to 35 with a first-time ACL tear who are otherwise healthy.
New York, New YorkAges 18–35 - NCT06541756Recruiting
Fibrin clot repair for torn knee cartilage
This trial tests whether adding a fibrin clot to standard meniscus repair helps heal a torn knee cartilage better. You'd get surgery, then an MRI one year later to check healing.
AnkaraAges 18–50 - NCT06538376Recruiting
New portable chest X-ray for ICU patients
This study tests a new portable chest X-ray that can be used in the ICU to check for problems like fluid in the lungs, trouble breathing, or swallowing issues. It is designed to help doctors see these problems more easily without moving you to the radiology department.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06533969Recruiting
Brain signals for controlling assistive devices
This study is for adults with a spinal cord injury who want to help researchers improve devices like wheelchairs or robotic arms. They will record your brain signals to see how you can control assistive tools.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05716048RecruitingPhase 1
Rehab program study for adults with lasting brain injury symptoms
This Phase 1 trial tests a combined rehabilitation program to improve function in people living with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) for at least a year. It may help people who still have new problems with learning and memory and who are not very physically active.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–65 - NCT05615766Recruiting
Robotic arm exoskeleton rehab for people with arm weakness
This trial tests a robotic device that helps move your arm and hand during rehabilitation, with the goal of improving elbow and hand function. You may be a good fit if you have certain nerve/spinal cord injury levels and can still make some finger and elbow muscle movements at the start.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06520020Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can be safely used for people with spinal cord injury. If you have had a surgery to stabilize your spine, this stimulation could help with recovery.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT06521086Recruiting
Better nutrition recovery for trauma patients
This study tests if a special nutrition plan helps older adults recover better after a traumatic injury. It aims to improve healing by providing extra nutrition through food and drinks.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 45 years+ - NCT06529757Recruiting
Skin wetting in burn survivors
This study tests how wetting the skin affects burn survivors and healthy volunteers. It may help find ways to manage body temperature or improve comfort during recovery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06515184RecruitingPhase 3
Coenzyme Q10 for Gulf War illness study
This study tests whether coenzyme Q10 (a natural supplement) can improve symptoms of Gulf War illness, such as fatigue and body pain. It involves taking the supplement or placebo for several months, with regular check-ins via Zoom and a few blood draws at a local lab.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06514950Recruiting
Yoga breathing for heart and lung health after spinal cord injury
This study tests a gentle yoga breathing program using a smartphone app to help people with spinal cord injury improve how their heart and lungs work together. It might be a good fit if you use a wheelchair, have a compatible smartphone, and are otherwise healthy.
Cambridge, MassachusettsAges 18–60 - NCT06521671Recruiting
Fracture healing after hip surgery in younger adults
This trial tests whether a new surgical method helps hip fractures heal better in adults aged 18 to 64. It uses special X-rays to track how the bone moves over time.
AarhusAges 18–65 - NCT06525610Recruiting
CT scan study for knee fracture repair after replacement
This study uses a special weight-bearing CT scan to look at how your new knee replacement and the bone around it heal after surgery to fix a broken bone just above the knee. It may help doctors understand how well the repair holds up when you put weight on it.
London, OntarioAges 50–90 - NCT06522958Enrolling by invitation
New soft food for children after cleft surgery
This study tests a new type of soft food designed to help children with cleft or craniofacial conditions recover better after surgery. The food melts quickly in the mouth, which may make it easier and safer to eat during healing.
