Heated tobacco product study for surgically treated leg fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a tobacco heating system (instead of cigarettes) affects how well a surgically repaired tibia or femur fracture heals. It mainly targets smokers with a certain smoking history who do not want to join free smoking-cessation seminars.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a closed tibia or femur (shin or thigh bone) fracture
- Your fracture was treated surgically within 14 days after your injury at the BG trauma clinic Tübingen
- You are a smoker with about 10–20 pack-years and have been smoking for more than 10 years
- You chose not to join the free smoking-cessation seminar offered for the study
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are able to consent for yourself

This trial studies rehabilitation after a tibia (shinbone) shaft fracture that is fixed with a metal nail. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and to take part in a rehab plan that aims to improve recovery after injury.
This study tests how people may misuse or become dependent on heated tobacco products (a type of electronic device that heats tobacco instead of burning it). If you qualify, you'll spend 10 days in a clinic and try these products to help researchers understand their effects.
This study tests whether having access to a heated tobacco product (a device that heats tobacco, not burns it) helps current cigarette smokers quit smoking. You'll try four different flavors over a week and then continue using one you like.
This study follows people age 18+ who broke the tibia (shin bone) and are at higher risk for infection. It compares a standard internal metal nail to a special coated nail to see which one lowers infection problems and supports healing.
This study tests whether NSAID pain relievers (like ibuprofen) affect bone healing after a broken tibia and if they can help reduce the need for stronger painkillers. If you qualify, you could help doctors learn the safest way to manage pain after this common injury.
This trial tests whether a surgical technique called transverse tibial bone transport (TTT) can help heal chronic diabetic foot ulcers. TTT involves moving a small piece of the shinbone to encourage new blood vessels to grow to the wound, which may help it close.
