Electrical Stimulation clinical trials
Below are recruiting electrical stimulation clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 350 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT05854160Recruiting
Brain stimulation study during epilepsy surgery evaluation
This trial studies how stimulating the brain changes communication between parts of the brain involved in emotion and memory. You may be able to join if you are already having epilepsy surgery and doctors will place specific brain electrodes as part of your evaluation.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05167786Recruiting
Electrical spinal cord stimulation for walking after stroke
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05923203Recruiting
Testing combined hearing with cochlear implant and hearing aid
This trial studies a “combined” hearing approach that uses a cochlear implant plus low-frequency sound from a hearing aid. It may help people with different hearing profiles (including cochlear-implant users) hear more naturally by testing how well this combined setup works.
Edmond, OklahomaAges 5 years+ - NCT07577661RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Electrical and medication combination therapy for sleep apnea
This trial tests whether combining electrical stimulation (via an Inspire device you already have or will get) with two medications can better treat obstructive sleep apnea. You'll help researchers understand if this combination works better than the device alone.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–79 - NCT07160413Recruiting
Peripheral nerve sensitivity test in healthy adults
This study tests how sensitive healthy people's nerves are to mild electrical stimulation on the arm. It aims to understand normal nerve response and could help improve treatments for nerve-related conditions.
Biel, BielAges 18 years+ - NCT06863207Recruiting
Testing a new treatment for teens with stomach and nerve problems
This study tests whether a personalized nerve stimulation treatment can help teens with cyclic vomiting syndrome or functional dyspepsia who also have symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, like dizziness, fatigue, or heart palpitations when standing.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 11–18 - NCT06415591Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for fibromyalgia in veterans
This trial tests whether a mild ear nerve stimulation device can reduce pain for veterans with fibromyalgia. It also looks at how the brain changes with treatment using MRI scans for some participants.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07115394Recruiting
Brain wave tracking during DBS for movement disorders
This study uses EEG (a non-invasive scalp recording) to measure brain signals while deep brain stimulation (DBS) is active. It aims to better understand how DBS affects brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonia.
HamburgAges 35–85 - NCT05851326Recruiting
Ultrasound and gentle stimulation for stubborn muscle pain
This trial tests whether low-energy ultrasound and electrical/magnetic stimulation can reduce long-lasting myofascial pain in the low back, neck, or tension-type headaches. It may help if your pain has lasted at least 3 months and is still noticeable despite your current treatment plan.
GrazAges 18–99 - NCT07592221Recruiting
Electrical Stimulation for Foot Drop After Stroke
This study tests a combination of two types of electrical stimulation to help improve foot drop (difficulty lifting your foot when walking) in people who've had a stroke. The goal is to help you walk more naturally and safely.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07056361Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation for better movement in tremor and Parkinson's
This study tests whether stimulating specific brain areas (VOP/VIM) during deep brain stimulation surgery can improve movement and muscle control. It includes people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease who are already scheduled for this surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT05959551Recruiting
Brain stimulation study to change brain connections
This study tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation technique (placing a gentle electrical current through the scalp) can change how different parts of the brain communicate. It may help researchers understand treatments for brain function—if you’re eligible and don’t have certain safety concerns.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT05626608Recruiting
Directional brain stimulation for Parkinson’s tremor and movement control
This trial tests a continuous electrical brain stimulation device placed in a deep brain area to help Parkinson’s symptoms—especially tremor and trouble with movement. It may help improve daily function and reduce periods when medicine does not work well.
Montpellier, FranceAges 18–70 - NCT06797284Recruiting
Light, electrical, and magnetic therapy for sleep issues
This study tests if light, electrical, or magnetic treatments can help people with insomnia, narcolepsy, or REM sleep behavior disorder improve their sleep-wake problems. It compares these gentle brain stimulation methods to understand which works best.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 8–75

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.
