PEMF Therapy for Postoperative Pain After Orthopedic Surgery
Recruiting0 awards5 criteria
Redwood City, California
This trial is testing whether PEMF therapy can help reduce pain in patients who have had shoulder or knee surgery. PEMF therapy uses electromagnetic waves to interact with the body's cells, which may reduce pain and speed up healing. The study will measure pain levels, medication use, and physical function after surgery. PEMF therapy has been evaluated as a therapeutic strategy for pain management in several clinical scenarios, showing positive efficacy and safety profiles.
Corticosteroid
Methylprednisolone Taper for Post-Orthopedic Surgery Recovery
Recruiting3 awardsPhase 4
Atlanta, Georgia
This trial is testing whether a 6-day course of oral methylprednisolone, given after a single dose of dexamethasone, is more effective than dexamethasone alone in reducing pain, nausea, and improving range of motion after surgery.
Behavioural Intervention
Dry Needling vs. Manual Therapy for Headaches
Recruiting1 award4 criteria
Youngstown, Ohio
This trial compares dry needling and orthopedic manual therapy for patients with headaches caused by neck problems. Dry needling uses thin needles to relieve muscle tension, while manual therapy involves hands-on adjustments to the neck. Both treatments aim to reduce headache pain by addressing issues in the neck. Dry needling is a treatment technique used by clinicians to relieve symptoms in patients with tension-type headache (TTH), cervicogenic headache (CGH), or migraine.
Probiotics for Gut Microbiome Imbalance

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
