Comparing two types of electrical stimulation for overactive bladder
This study compares two non-invasive treatments for overactive bladder (sudden, frequent urges to pee) in women who haven't gotten relief from standard medications. One treatment uses a vaginal probe, the other uses pads on the perineum (area between the vagina and anus). Both aim to calm the bladder muscles.
DenizliAges 18 years+ - NCT07441122Recruiting
Brain game for focus: Using brain-computer tech in older adults
This study tests if a brain-computer interface can help older adults improve attention. You'll use a computer that reads your brain signals and gives feedback to train your focus.
Austin, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT07558759Recruiting
Brain Stimulation Study for Psychiatric Conditions
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference to help treat psychiatric conditions. Researchers will use MRI scanning and specialized stimulation equipment to see if this approach is safe and helpful.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–65 - NCT02991248Recruiting
Balance training for people with spinal cord injury
This study looks at a treatment to improve how well you can balance and stay steady while moving if you have a spinal cord injury. It may help with side-to-side (lateral) balance and walking control.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–65 - NCT03184545RecruitingPhase 3
Electrical stimulation vs physical therapy for knee pain
This trial compares an electrical stimulation treatment to standard physical therapy for people with long-lasting pain in the front of the knee. It aims to see which approach better improves symptoms and function for patellofemoral pain syndrome.
New York, New YorkAges 18–40 - NCT03201094Recruiting
NMES and whey protein for recovery after aneurysmal brain bleed
This pilot study tests whether a therapy that gently stimulates nerves (NMES) and a whey-protein supplement (HPRO) can improve recovery after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a type of bleeding around the brain. Participants are usually treated soon after the bleed and stay in the ICU long enough for the study measures.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03870672Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus hand practice for severe stroke arm weakness
This trial tests whether using noninvasive brain stimulation, along with guided hand exercises, can improve hand opening and arm function after a stroke. It may help people with severe hand weakness who still have some ability to follow instructions and move the shoulder and elbow.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–90 - NCT04550728RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Robot training plus electrical stimulation after stroke
This trial tests a “hybrid” rehab program that combines robot-assisted walking practice with electrical stimulation to help movement after stroke. It may help people improve walking and leg function at home as they work with a caregiver.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT05008705Recruiting
Protein and muscle stimulation for hospitalized seniors
This trial tests whether increasing protein intake plus using a gentle electrical muscle stimulation device can help maintain or build muscle mass in older adults while they are hospitalized. It may help prevent muscle loss that can happen after short hospital stays.
São PauloAges 65 years+ - NCT05062369Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus training to support alcohol abstinence
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (tDCS) and cognitive training can help people with alcohol use disorder stay abstinent. You may be included if you are currently not drinking and can commit to the program timeline.

Epidural electrical stimulation for steadier blood pressure after spinal injury
This study tests a treatment that delivers electrical stimulation through an epidural device to help stabilize blood pressure and improve trunk control in people with a spinal cord injury. It may help reduce episodes of dizziness or drops in blood pressure when standing and support better body control during activity.

Personalized brain stimulation help for bipolar depression anhedonia
This study looks at using brain scans to better tailor transcranial direct current stimulation (a noninvasive brain stimulation) for people with bipolar depression who feel little pleasure. It aims to see whether matching the stimulation to your brain signals can improve symptoms like anhedonia.
Houston, TexasAges 18–50 - NCT05343130Recruiting
Brain-controlled electrical therapy for arm mobility after spinal injury
This trial studies a brain-computer system that helps control electrical stimulation to improve arm movement after a spinal cord injury. It may help with functional use of the upper limbs during rehabilitation if you meet the specific injury, spasticity, and safety requirements.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for electrical stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 363 recruiting electrical stimulation 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 electrical stimulation 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 electrical stimulation 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.
