Does wound therapy predict long-term pain after war injury?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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 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.
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 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 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 tests whether using virtual reality (VR) daily in the hospital after a major amputation can help prevent phantom limb pain. You'll use a VR headset to do simple exercises that may keep your brain from sending pain signals to the missing limb.
This trial is testing a system called Suralis to see if it can help evaluate phantom limb pain — pain that feels like it's coming from a missing leg. It's for people who have had a leg amputated below or above the knee, use a prosthetic regularly, and have daily pain scoring at least 3 out of 10.
