-
Sedation and pain control for adults with fractures and dislocations in the emergency department
This project will try different sedation and pain-control methods to see which gives adults the best pain relief and satisfaction during emergency-room reductions of fractures or dislocations.
-
Nerve blocks before surgery for older adults with lower leg fractures
This will test whether giving a peripheral nerve-block injection before surgery helps people aged 50 and older with lower leg fractures recover with fewer complications and less opioid use.
-
Blood flow restriction–enhanced rehabilitation for people with tibial shaft fractures.
This trial will test whether using a blood flow restriction device during low-load strengthening exercises helps adults with tibial shaft fractures regain muscle strength and size, heal their fracture, and return to normal function faster than standard exercises alone.
-
Comparing oral and intravenous antibiotics for treating infected nonunion of fractures
This study is testing whether taking antibiotics by mouth works as well as getting them through an IV for people with infected fractures that haven't healed properly after surgery.
-
Breathing exercises before joint surgery
This study is testing if breathing exercises before joint surgery can help patients breathe better after their operation and avoid complications.
