High-flow oxygen with a face interface versus nasal mask
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen to people with serious breathing problems after chest trauma. It looks to see whether a high-flow system works better when delivered through a face interface rather than a facial mask, after standard nasal oxygen fails within 72 hours.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 20–99 - NCT05837676Recruiting

BolognaAges 18–50 - NCT06496035Recruiting
Blood flow training for leg fracture recovery
This study tests whether a special exercise method called blood flow restriction training helps people heal faster after a broken shinbone (tibia). It might improve strength and recovery during physical therapy.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT06511232RecruitingPhase 4
Morphine in bone for ACL surgery pain
This trial tests if giving morphine directly into the bone during ACL reconstruction can reduce pain after surgery. It may help patients who are having a specific type of ACL repair using their own patellar tendon.
Houston, TexasAges 18–40 - NCT06497712Recruiting
Hypnosis for pain during emergency room stitches
This trial tests if hypnosis can reduce pain when getting stitches in the emergency room. If you have a stitchable wound and are at least 18 years old, you may be able to join.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06511934Recruiting
BrainGate2 tablet trial for tetraplegia
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BrainGate2) system for people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs). It aims to see if the system can help you control a tablet computer using only your brain signals. This is for people who were already in the BrainGate2 study.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06503406Recruiting
Testing a new dressing for deep wounds to speed healing
This trial tests a special wound dressing (SupraSDRM®) to help deep, full-thickness wounds heal faster and reduce the time needed before a skin graft can be placed. It may be an option for people with a large, deep wound from an injury, surgery, or burn that isn't ready for a graft yet.

This study checks how well a vestibular implant works over many years for people who already got one in earlier research at Johns Hopkins.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 22–90 - NCT06505135Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Stem cells for rotator cuff tear repair
This study tests whether injecting your own stem cells (taken from belly fat) during rotator cuff repair helps the tendon heal better and reduces pain. It's for people with a recent, repairable tear who are otherwise healthy.
Sønderborg, DanmarkAges 40–69 - NCT05875038Recruiting
Smart fall-monitoring video with telealerts versus alerts alone
This study tests whether a smart video monitoring system with emergency-style alerts works better than alerts alone for preventing or responding to falls at home. It focuses on older adults who have recently fallen and may find returning home unsafe.
Amiens, PicardieAges 75 years+ - NCT05786742Recruiting
Radiation plan test for early prostate cancer with a boost
This trial tests a more concentrated radiation schedule for early-stage prostate cancer, using an extra high-dose “boost” delivered from inside the body. It may help by treating the prostate more precisely while aiming to keep side effects manageable.
QuébecAges 18–95 - NCT06493851Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy to speed recovery after ACL reconstruction
This trial tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help you recover faster after ACL knee surgery. If you're having ACL reconstruction, this treatment might reduce healing time.
ZrifinAges 18–45 - NCT06477796Recruiting
Improving sleep in veterans with TBI and sleep problems
This study tests a new way to help Veterans with both a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and sleep problems get better rest. If you are a Veteran with sleep trouble and a history of TBI, this program may help improve your sleep without needing extra medication.
Portland, OregonAges 18–89 - NCT06495294Recruiting
