Skin stimulation effects on brain activity during abdominal surgery
This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation on specific points on your skin (called acupoints) can affect the brain's electrical activity during abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. It may help researchers understand how this therapy works and potentially improve recovery in the future.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07578324Recruiting
TENS to reduce pain during prostate biopsy
This study tests whether TENS (a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin) can help reduce pain when combined with numbing medicine during a prostate biopsy procedure. The goal is to see if this may make the biopsy more comfortable for patients.

Nerve stimulation for bladder symptoms in multiple sclerosis
This trial tests a nerve stimulation treatment (TTNS) to improve bladder symptoms like urgency or frequent urination in people with multiple sclerosis. It is a randomized controlled study comparing this approach to a control, and aims to see if it can reduce bothersome bladder issues.
Khobar, Eastern ProvidenceAges 18 years+ - NCT07663578Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for epilepsy patients and healthy volunteers
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation method called TIEFS. It uses safe electric fields to see how it affects thinking and brain waves. You may join if you are having brain surgery for epilepsy or are a healthy adult.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07267910Enrolling by invitation
Measuring inner ear function with weak electrical stimulation
This study uses a weak electrical current to test how well your inner ear balance system works. It may help people with certain inner ear conditions like vestibular schwannoma or vestibular neuritis.
HelsinkiAges 18–70 - NCT05746650Recruiting
Study to improve healing after knee muscle-tendon repair
This study looks at how to improve healing at the muscle-tendon connection after knee reconstruction surgery. You may be able to join if you’re otherwise healthy, within a certain body-size range, and not using medicines that could change muscle or tendon healing.
CopenhagenAges 18–35 - NCT06127602Recruiting
Electrical stimulation plus walking for stroke recovery
This study tests whether adding a type of electrical stimulation to leg muscles during walking can improve walking ability for people who are at least 6 months past a stroke. If you have weakness on one side and can walk on a treadmill with some help, you may be able to join.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT06011018Recruiting
Mirror Therapy with Electrical Stimulation or Sound Beats after Stroke
This study tests if combining mirror therapy with either gentle electrical stimulation or special sound beats can help improve leg movement and brain activity after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke at least 6 months ago and have some movement in their leg.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–80 - NCT05817786Recruiting
Electrical nerve stimulation for persistent arm nerve pain
This trial tests whether stimulating the nerve roots in the shoulder area can reduce long-lasting nerve pain in one arm. It may help people whose arm pain has not improved with standard nerve-pain treatments.

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.
