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 looks at whether a type of wound care called negative pressure wound therapy (a vacuum-like treatment to help wounds heal) can help predict if someone will have long-term pain after a war-related injury. It aims to understand how this therapy affects pain outcomes.
This study looks at how pain becomes long-term (chronic) after a combat-related traumatic brain injury. By following people soon after their injury, researchers hope to find ways to prevent ongoing pain.
This study is looking at how often blood clots and long-term pain happen after serious arm or leg injuries. If you have had such an injury and are treated in the hospital, joining this study may help doctors better understand and manage these complications.
This study looks at whether using a tourniquet to stop bleeding after a severe arm or leg injury might be linked to ongoing pain later. If you had such an injury and a tourniquet was used, researchers want to learn how your recovery goes.
This study looks at why some people develop long-term pain after a serious injury. It tracks patients over time to find early signs of chronic pain.
This trial studies different surgical approaches to reduce persistent pain in the leftover part of an amputated limb. You may be able to join if your post-amputation pain has lasted more than a year and your pain level stays high despite stable pain treatments and prosthesis use.
