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+ - NCT02098265Recruiting
Brain-signal device for stroke arm rehabilitation
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07588490Recruiting
TENS for sudden severe lower back pain in the emergency room
This trial tests a pain-relief device called TENS (a small machine that sends mild electrical pulses through your skin) for people with sudden, severe lower back pain in the emergency department. Researchers want to see if TENS can help reduce your pain quickly without extra medications.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07356128Recruiting
How people with cochlear implants and hearing aids understand sound
This study tests how well children and adults can use sound from both ears when they have a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other (or a special device that combines both). It looks at how your brain makes sense of sounds to help improve hearing and speech understanding.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 5 years+ - NCT07569705Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation to Help Breathing After Weight-Loss Surgery
This trial tests whether electrical nerve stimulation (a non-invasive, pain-relieving technique) can help improve breathing problems that sometimes occur after weight-loss surgery. The study measures how well your diaphragm—the muscle that helps you breathe—works after the procedure.
CairoAges 20–60 - NCT07144631Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for restless legs in pregnancy
This trial tests if a small nerve stimulation device can safely and effectively reduce restless legs symptoms in pregnant people. If you are between 21 and 26 weeks pregnant with a confirmed diagnosis of restless legs syndrome (RLS), you may be eligible.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06541015Recruiting
TENS for improving walking after stroke
This study tests whether a small electrical device (TENS) can help stroke survivors walk better. You will receive TENS or placebo while walking on a treadmill, and the researchers will measure how your muscles respond.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT05345015Recruiting
Radio waves for muscle or low back pain and function
This trial tests whether a high-frequency radio-wave treatment can reduce pain and improve movement in adults with a muscle strain (hamstring) or acute or chronic low back pain. It may help you feel less pain and function better, depending on your specific injury and medical details.
KavalaAges 18–65 - NCT05615610Recruiting
Electrical stimulation therapy for brain and arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether painless electrical nerve stimulation placed on the skin can improve thinking (cognitive function) and arm movement in people living with long-term stroke. If you qualify, you may receive this non-drug therapy and be assessed for changes in memory/thinking and upper-limb movement.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT07754305Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for electrical stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 350 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.
