Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03631628Recruiting
Mirror therapy with gentle nerve stimulation for stroke arm recovery
This study tests whether combining mirror therapy with mild electrical nerve stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may be an option if you can move your unaffected arm and have some shoulder and wrist movement on your affected side.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 50–85 - NCT06064695Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation exercise for myasthenia gravis
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise can help adults with generalized myasthenia gravis. It also enrolls healthy controls for comparison. If you have MG and can stand for about 15 minutes, this may be an option.
Fairway, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05904340Recruiting
Acupuncture-like electrical stimulation for nerve pain after chemo
This trial studies whether a skin-applied, acupuncture-like electrical treatment can reduce ongoing nerve pain (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy) after breast cancer chemotherapy. It may help if your nerve symptoms have not improved after finishing chemo.
Changhua, ChanghuaAges 18–80 - NCT06772961Recruiting
Electrical stimulation on acupoints to reduce breathing problems after surgery
This trial tests whether mild electrical stimulation at specific acupoints (on the arm and hand) before and after surgery can lower the chance of breathing complications when you wake up from general anesthesia.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–100 - NCT07365345Recruiting
Electrical Stimulation for Low Blood Pressure During TAVR
This study tests whether electrical stimulation at specific points on the body can help prevent low blood pressure during TAVR, a minimally invasive heart valve procedure. It may help people who are at risk for blood pressure drops during surgery.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 60 years+ - NCT07051265Enrolling by invitation
Pain relief for head and neck cancer patients using TENS or acupressure
This study compares two non-drug methods—TENS (a mild electrical device) and acupressure (gentle finger pressure on specific points)—to help manage pain in people with head and neck cancer. If you have cancer-related pain and need medication, you may be able to join.

Brain stimulation study using implanted electrodes
This study tests a model-based way of using electrical brain stimulation in people who are having surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy or brain tumors. It uses implanted electrodes to measure brain activity and may help improve how stimulation is planned during surgical care.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07368920Recruiting
TENS for low back pain in adults
This study tests if a non-invasive device called TENS (which uses gentle electrical pulses) can help relieve low back pain that comes from muscle knots or tight bands. The device is applied to the skin over the painful area.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–65 - NCT07689019Recruiting
Heat and electrical stimulation for head and neck cancer recovery
This study tests whether applying far infrared rays (a type of heat) or mild electrical pulses to the skin can help improve short-term recovery in people with head and neck cancer who are receiving chemotherapy and radiation together. It aims to see if these treatments can reduce side effects or improve quality of life.
Hualien City, Hualien CountyAges 30–85 - NCT07362862Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation to prevent ICU weakness
This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate leg muscles, helping prevent muscle weakness in ICU patients with severe infections. It may help you recover strength faster and avoid long-term disability.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT07081802Recruiting
Acupuncture and herbs for bowel recovery after surgery

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.
