Recruiting studies
- NCT06902116Recruiting
Bowel preparation for colostomy reversal in children
This study compares two approaches for preparing the bowel before reversing a colostomy (closing the opening in the belly) in children. The goal is to see if using a bowel-cleansing regimen for three days leads to fewer complications than skipping prep entirely.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 1–15 - NCT06929000Recruiting
Testing an adjustable headrest for painless abortion in overweight patients
This study tests whether a special adjustable headrest can help make painless abortion surgery safer and more comfortable for people who are overweight or obese. You may be able to join if you are planning this procedure, have a BMI over 24, and are otherwise healthy enough for anesthesia.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 20–50 - NCT05954455Recruiting
Studying speech and swallowing development in children with SMA type 1
This study looks at how speech, communication, and swallowing (“bulbar function”) develop in babies and children with SMA type 1. It aims to better understand what to expect over time for children who start approved SMA treatments early.
LondonAges birth–18 years - NCT07746323Recruiting
Shoulder positioning for less pain after lung surgery
This study tests whether a special arm position during lung surgery can reduce shoulder pain afterward. It may help you recover more comfortably.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07561125RecruitingPhase 2
IVIG for lung disease in very preterm infants
This trial tests whether giving intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) early after birth can help prevent or treat a serious lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in babies born at 28 weeks or earlier. It may help reduce the need for breathing support and oxygen.
ShanghaiAges 1 day–2 months - NCT05031507Recruiting
Study of bone disorders and inherited genetic factors
This study looks at bone (skeletal) disorders to better understand possible genetic causes, especially when phosphate levels or bone growth are affected. You may join either if you (or your child) has a bone disorder, or if you’re an unaffected family member who might help compare results.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 months–100 years - NCT03307317Recruiting
Testing brain signaling in infants at early risk
This study looks at how the brain “mirrors” or responds to actions, with the goal of finding early signs of neurodevelopmental disorders. It includes healthy adults and infants, and infants who may be at risk, to compare brain patterns early on.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 9 months–65 years - NCT03831958Recruiting
Follow-up study of children cured of Cushing disease
This study checks long-term health in people who were treated successfully for Cushing disease when they were under 21. It also collects information from family members to study genetic links to pituitary tumors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–90 - NCT04331353Recruiting
Asthma trial to reduce cockroach exposure at home
This study looks at whether reducing cockroaches in a child’s home can improve asthma control and reduce asthma flare-ups. It enrolls children who have ongoing (uncontrolled) asthma and will spend most nights in the study home.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 5–17 - NCT04948658Recruiting
Freezing ovarian tissue to protect future fertility
This study looks at storing ovarian (ovary) tissue by freezing it for people at higher risk of losing fertility. It may help preserve options for having biological children later, especially for certain genetic conditions, cancer-related risks, or planned gonad removal.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–35 - NCT05282095Recruiting
Study how HPV changes affect outcomes in CIN2
This study follows women with an early abnormal cervix cell change (CIN2/CIN2-3) to see how HPV DNA “integration” relates to whether the condition improves or worsens. It may help doctors better predict prognosis and guide safer monitoring, especially if you want to become pregnant.
Fuzhou, FujianAges Up to 45 years - NCT05359991Recruiting
Exercise study in children and teens with lung or blood conditions
This study tests how safe and effective a structured exercise program is for children and teens. It also compares results between children with sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and healthy peers (and some teens after COVID-19 infection).
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 10–17 - NCT05553743Recruiting
Study of donated breast milk and how it affects child health
This study looks at breast milk donated for research and how it may relate to infant and child health. If you’re an adult who is breastfeeding and can donate extra milk, you may be able to participate.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05588167Recruiting
Niemann-Pick type C patient database and genetic data study
This study collects health information and genetic samples from people diagnosed with Niemann-Pick disease type C. The goal is to build a large database that can help researchers better understand the condition and improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3 months+ - NCT05600946Recruiting
Study of body differences in creatine transporter deficiency
This study looks at physical and body features in people with creatine transporter deficiency caused by a specific gene change (SLC6A8). It may help doctors better understand the condition and how it shows up, which can improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–40 - NCT06006091Recruiting
Letrozole for preparing the womb before embryo transfer
This study tests if a medicine called letrozole can help prepare the lining of the womb for a frozen embryo transfer. It may be an option for women under 40 who have had limited previous IVF cycles.
ShanghaiAges Up to 40 years - NCT06019182Recruiting
MEHMO syndrome: Understanding the condition over time
This study follows people with or at risk for MEHMO syndrome over time to better understand the condition and identify biological markers. It may include both affected individuals and their family members to see how the condition runs in families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 week–100 years - NCT06259006RecruitingPhase 3
Early Dexamethasone for Sydenham's Chorea in Children
This trial tests whether a short course of dexamethasone (a steroid tablet) can help children with Sydenham's chorea (movement tics after a strep infection) recover faster. The goal is to see if early treatment improves symptoms and reduces side effects compared to other treatments.
Darwin, Northern TerritoriesAges 4–17 - NCT06276309Recruiting
Protein study of cervical neuroendocrine tumors
This study looks at the proteins in cervical neuroendocrine tumors to understand how they behave and how they affect long-term outcomes. It aims to find new markers that could help predict prognosis and guide treatment.
Fuzhou, FujianAges Any age - NCT06593080Recruiting
Testing a TB diagnosis checklist for children
This study is testing a new way to diagnose TB in children using simple symptom checklists. It aims to see if these checklists can help doctors find TB earlier and more accurately, especially in children who are very young or have other health problems.
Chingola, CopperbeltAges Up to 14 years - NCT06749366Recruiting
Finding Genes Linked to Cartilage Tumors and Blood Vessel Issues
This study uses genetic testing to find genes that cause certain types of cartilage tumors and blood vessel problems. If you or your child has one of these conditions, joining could help doctors understand what causes them and find better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT06851754RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone therapy for teens with early menopause
This trial tests whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps protect bone health in teenagers with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). It compares HRT to a placebo and also includes healthy volunteers for comparison.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 11–19 - NCT06918470Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for child health?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 151 recruiting child health studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a child health trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a child health trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
