Can movement predict chronic pain after combat limb injuries?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study is looking for people with combat-related arm or leg injuries to see if how they move can predict long-term pain. Researchers hope to better understand who might develop chronic pain and help improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a combat-related injury to your arm or leg (like from an explosion, bullet, or sharp object).
- Your injury was checked by a doctor within the first 72 hours.
- You had at least moderate pain (3 or more on a 0-10 pain scale) right after the injury.
- You can give permission to be in the study and attend follow-up visits.

This study follows people who had a combat-related brain injury to see how pain develops over time. By tracking your pain, researchers hope to find ways to prevent long-term pain.
This study looks at whether a wound treatment called negative pressure wound therapy (a vacuum device that helps wounds heal) can predict if someone will have long-term pain after a war-related injury. It aims to help doctors better manage pain for people with these injuries.
This study looks at people who have had serious arm or leg injuries to see how often they get blood clots and how much pain they feel over time. It may help doctors understand and treat these problems better after major limb trauma.
This study looks at whether using a tourniquet (a tight band to stop severe bleeding) after a serious arm or leg injury is linked to developing long-term pain. If you had such an injury and a tourniquet was used, doctors want to learn more to improve future care and pain management.
This study looks at how pain develops after a serious injury involving multiple body areas and at least one broken limb. It aims to find out what factors predict long-term chronic pain, which could help improve future care.
This study looks at whether an infection in the area where your limb was removed can predict if you will have ongoing pain there. It aims to help doctors better understand and manage post-amputation pain.
