Stronger at Home Intervention for Hip Fracture

Kingston, Ontario
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a new 14-week individually-tailored home-based rehabilitation program called "Stronger at Home" with usual care in improving functional recovery in community-dwelling older adults after hip fractures. The main question this trial aims to answer are: • Is the Stronger at Home program more effective than usual care in improving functional recovery at the end of the 14-week intervention? secondary questions include: * What is the cost-utility of the Stronger at Home program compared to usual care at 3.5 months, 6 months, and 12 months after discharge? * Does the program have a sustained impact on functional recovery at 6 months and 12 months post-discharge? Participants in the trial will be asked to engage in the following tasks: * Participate in the Stronger at Home program, which includes using a self-directed toolkit consisting of educational resources and an illustrated exercise program. * Follow the guidelines provided in the toolkit for gradually increasing exercise intensity and incorporating different types of exercises into their daily life. The effects of the Stronger at Home program will be compared to those of usual care.

Tourniquet for Ankle Fracture

Iowa City, Iowa
Lower extremity tourniquet utilization remains a controversial practice during the operative fixation of rotational ankle fractures and is often left to surgeon discretion. At our own institution, tourniquet use varies between surgeons with some providers using a tourniquet for every case, while others regularly do not utilize tourniquets. Despite benefits of decreased surgical time and decreased blood loss, many studies have cited negative outcomes associated with tourniquet usage including increased postoperative swelling and pain, increased wound complications, and increased risks of deep vein thrombosis. These outcomes have been limited to retrospective reviews and meta-analyses with few randomized control trials specifically evaluating these outcomes in ankle fracture patients. To better assess the impact of tourniquet use on ankle fracture postoperative outcomes, this randomized control trial seeks to 1) compare differences in postoperative visual analog scale pain scores for patients undergoing operative fixation of rotation ankle fractures with and without a tourniquet, while 2) evaluating rates of wound, thrombotic, and surgical complications associated with tourniquet use. Patients will be randomized by an Excel random number generator to a tourniquet and non-tourniquet group. Patients will remain blinded to randomization. The treating orthopaedic trauma surgeon will be notified by the PI of the study informing them of the randomization status to ensure appropriate tourniquet utilization the day of surgery. Patients will then undergo standard operative fixation and postoperative management as clinically indicated by the orthopaedic trauma team. Patients will follow-up at 2 weeks and subsequently every 4 weeks as is protocol at our institution. Patient charts will be reviewed for patient and perioperative factors, as well as postoperative complications (i.e. wound complications, need for repeat surgical intervention, and deep vein thrombosis).

GIK Therapy for Broken Leg Bones

New York, New York
The purpose of this phase 2 randomized control trial will be to evaluate the effect of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) therapy in the setting of lower extremity trauma to reduce short- and long-term muscle damage, acute rhabdomyolysis, and acute kidney injury. The study will consist of 40 patients with femur or tibial shaft fractures randomized to the GIK arm (using a well-described systemic GIK protocol; n = 20) or the control arm (using isotonic saline; n = 20). The use of systemic GIK is expected to decrease the overall amount of lower extremity muscle cell death and result in improved muscle function in the postoperative period. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that GIK will lead to less severe rhabdomyolysis and a concomitant decrease in the incidence of AKI that results from the byproducts of muscle cell death.

Bridge Plate Timing for Wrist Fractures

New York, New York
The purpose of this randomized control trial will be to determine whether the duration of bridge plate fixation of distal radius fractures can be reduced to 6-8 weeks without worsening of functional outcomes relative to the current standard of greater than 12 weeks of fixation. The secondary aim of the study is to determine whether a reduced duration of bridge plate fixation leads to an increase in wrist range of motion following plate removal compared to the standard duration of fixation. 100 patients with comminuted distal radius fractures that are indicated for bridge plate fixation will be randomized to the Accelerated Removal arm (n = 50) or the Standard Removal arm (n = 50).

Bracing vs Splinting for Broken Arm

New York, New York
The goal of this study is to determine which initial method of immobilization for humeral shaft fractures in the emergency room maximizes patient comfort. The two methods of initial management for humeral shaft fractures are sarmiento bracing (pre-fabricated fracture brace) and coaptation splinting. In this study, the team will compare patient related outcomes and comfort for each method of initial management of humeral shaft fractures. Participant pain, narcotic usage, and function will be tracked over a 2 week period to see which method of immobilization is preferred.

PENG vs FIC Nerve Blocks for Hip Fracture Pain

Brooklyn, New York
Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks are an important tool for treating pain due to orthopedic injury in the ED. They provide long lasting, opioid-sparing pain relief that is generally safe and well-tolerated by patients1. Elderly patients with hip fractures commonly present to the ED, and their injury can be painful. Commonly used opioid pain regimens can have deleterious side effects, especially in elderly patients, like somnolence, delirium, hypotension and respiratory depression. The fascia iliaca compartment (FIC) block has become a familiar technique to emergency physicians as a pain control treatment for hip fractures. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block has recently been proposed as a novel method to treat pain due to hip, acetabular and pelvic fracture by targeting the terminal sensory articular nerve branches of the femoral nerve (FN), obturator nerve (ON), and accessory obturator nerve (AON). At this time there has been no study comparing the efficacy of the two nerve blocks, PENG and FIC. This aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of the PENG block (20mL of Bupivacaine 0.50%) to that of the FIC block (40mL of Bupivacaine 0.25%) for patients with hip fractures in the ED. Our hypothesis is that PENG will demonstrate analgesia that is non-inferior to FIC. Subjective pain scores on a scale of 0 to 10 will be assessed before and after the block. All subjects will receive 4mg of morphine after consent and prior to the block.

Early Weight-Bearing Device for Ankle Injury

Brooklyn, New York
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of the Fibulink Syndesmosis Repair System to maintain reduction of the ankle syndesmosis. Appropriate reduction of the syndesmosis is critical due the changes in tibiotalar contact pressure observed in cadaveric studies.6,7 Malreduction and instability of the distal tibiotalar joint can lead to chronic instability, increased articular damage and ultimately degenerative arthritis.7,8 Medial to lateral translation of distal tibia and fibula of 2 mm or more has been considered pathologic.9 Earlier biomechanical study demonstrated the Fibulink system is superior in maintaining displacement of less than 2 mm.4 Given the improved strength, we also look to evaluate the outcomes of initiating full weight bearing (100%) with Controlled Ankle Motion (CAM) boot at 4 weeks postoperatively. One of the big limitations for trans-osseous screw fixation is delayed weight bearing due to risk of screw breakage.1 Suture button technique allowed for early weight bearing with average of 6 weeks postoperatively using TightRope.2,10-12By initiating full weight bearing (100%) with CAM boot at 4 weeks postoperatively, this would be a significant improvement in current clinical practice.

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Bone Fractures clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Bone Fractures clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Bone Fractures trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Bone Fractures is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Bone Fractures medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Bone Fractures clinical trials?

Most recently, we added OPTIONS Program for Osteoporosis, CINB + Medical Therapy for Rib Fractures and Morphine or Ketamine for Pain to the Power online platform.
