Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05536531Recruiting
NMES therapy to help prevent ICU muscle weakness
This trial tests whether a device that delivers small electrical pulses to muscles can help prevent breathing and muscle weakness in very sick ICU patients. It also looks at changes in blood markers that may relate to muscle weakness and recovery.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 18 years+ - NCT06316349Recruiting
Leg exercises and electrical stimulation for balloon pump patients
This study tests if leg exercises and mild electrical stimulation can help people who have a balloon pump in their leg artery. It aims to see if these treatments improve strength and recovery while the pump is in place.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06601686Recruiting
Study on brain stimulation and meditation for healthy adults
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with meditation helps people let go of their sense of self (ego-disengagement). You may be eligible if you are a healthy adult who meditates regularly.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–80 - NCT07282938Recruiting
Robot hand and electrical stimulation for hand function after stroke
This test combines a soft robotic hand and electrical stimulation to help improve hand movement in people recovering from a stroke. It may benefit stroke survivors who have some ability to extend their fingers and are in the early months of recovery.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–65 - NCT07736885Recruiting
Hand stimulation for thinking problems after stroke
This study tests a gentle, painless electrical stimulation on specific points on the hands to see if it helps improve thinking and memory after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke in the last 2 weeks to 6 months and are noticing some cognitive changes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 35–80 - NCT06582576Recruiting
How gastric electrical stimulation helps gastroparesis
This study looks at how a gastric electrical stimulator works to treat gastroparesis. It compares people who feel their symptoms improve a lot or not much, to understand the device's effects.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06601699Recruiting
Can brain stimulation help you let go of ego?
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people become more mindful and less attached to their ego. You'll do simple meditation tasks and brain scans to see how your brain changes.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–80 - NCT06950593Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests if a mild electrical current applied to the skin can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is for those with significant arm weakness who are not currently in regular therapy.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07578532Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests two non-surgical treatments—magnetic and electrical nerve stimulation applied to the skin over the sacrum (base of spine)—to help control bladder overactivity in people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to reduce involuntary bladder contractions and improve bladder control.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07036393Recruiting
Acupuncture vs. TENS for pain after upper belly surgery
This trial compares two non-drug treatments — acupuncture and TENS — to see which works better for pain after upper abdominal surgery. You might join to help find a gentler option for recovery.
Al MansurahAges 20–45 - NCT07206797Recruiting
Ultrasound to measure muscle activity from spinal cord stimulation
This study uses ultrasound to see how muscles respond to two types of electrical stimulation (spinal cord and functional electrical stimulation). It may help researchers better understand how to treat muscle weakness or paralysis.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18–60 - NCT07244861Enrolling by invitation
TENS for neck muscle stiffness and pain
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device (TENS) applied to the neck can reduce muscle stiffness and pain in people with ongoing neck pain. If you have had neck pain for at least 6 weeks and are willing to avoid certain medications the day before, you may be able to join.
ErzurumAges 18–50 - NCT04957355Recruiting
NMES therapy to improve balance and reduce falls after stroke
This trial tests whether NMES (a small electrical stimulation you feel on the skin) can improve balance and lower fall risk in people with stroke-related weakness. It may help you walk more steadily and safely, while the study measures balance and fall-related outcomes.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT06851195Enrolling by invitation
Electrical stimulation for leg strength in COPD
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to your leg muscles can help you feel less breathless and less tired during daily activities, and improve your confidence in exercising. It is for people with stable COPD who are already in a pulmonary rehab program.
Kaohsiung, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT06882733Recruiting
TENS therapy for leg blood flow in healthy adults
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation (TENS) applied to the leg muscles and nerve clusters can improve blood flow behind the knee. It looks at immediate effects and might help understand better ways to support circulation.
Kaohsiung City, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT06184451Recruiting

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.
