This study is testing special screws that dissolve over time, used in foot and ankle surgeries for fractures, realignments, or joint fusions. The screws are meant to hold bones together while they heal, then safely absorb into the body. Researchers will follow 125 adults for 4 ye…

This study tests whether a special dye called ICG, used with a new imaging device, can help surgeons see how healthy a patient's bone is during surgery. Ten adults with open fractures or bone infections will receive the dye and be imaged. The goal is to see if this technique can …

This study tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help emergency room doctors find broken bones, dislocations, and other bone problems more quickly and accurately. About 4,800 patients with arm or leg injuries will have their X-rays reviewed either with or without AI assi…

This study is testing whether taking a higher dose of vitamin D (2400 IU daily) during pregnancy can prevent asthma and persistent wheezing in children up to age 3. Researchers plan to enroll 2000 pregnant women in Denmark. Participants take either vitamin D or a placebo capsule …

This study is testing whether taking high-dose fish oil supplements during pregnancy can reduce the risk of asthma and persistent wheezing in children up to age 3. The researchers are recruiting 2,000 pregnant women in Denmark who have low blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Par…

This study looks at whether adding art or color to a child's cast can improve their satisfaction and reduce how much pain they feel after breaking an arm or leg bone. About 96 children aged 5 to 17 will be randomly assigned to get a plain white cast, a colored cast, or a custom-d…

This study compares a nonopioid pain control plan to standard opioid pain medicine in 75 adults after surgery for a broken collarbone. The goal is to see if the nonopioid plan can control pain just as well while reducing opioid side effects and addiction risk. Participants are ra…

This study looks at whether medications with anticholinergic effects increase the risk of bone fractures in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers will follow 100 adults with RA, recording their medications and using special scales to measure anticholinergic load. They wil…
