This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation combined with movement training can help people who have had a right-side stroke improve their arm and hand function. It also includes healthy adults to compare results.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–90 - NCT07546292Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Improve Reading and Letter Learning
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help improve how your brain learns letters and sounds, and how well you read. You'll receive mild electrical stimulation to your scalp while learning letter-sound pairs, and researchers will use MRI scans to see how your brain responds.

This study tests whether a digital program with special sensors and a digital twin can help reduce knee pain and improve mobility in older adults with knee osteoarthritis. It also includes healthy adults for comparison.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT07694921Enrolling by invitation
Non-invasive brain stimulation for Alzheimer's disease
This trial tests if a safe, non-invasive electrical stimulation can help people with Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve thinking and memory skills.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 60 years+ - NCT07402941Recruiting
Testing inner ear stimulation during awake ear surgery
This study tests a new way to stimulate your hearing nerve during ear surgery while you are awake. It might help doctors better understand hearing loss and improve future treatments.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05981183Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for chronic kidney disease
This study tests a device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear to see if it can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The device is non-invasive and may improve how your body handles kidney-related issues.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT05928052Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to help ARDS patients get off the ventilator
This study tests whether stimulating nerves in the spine can help people with severe lung injury (ARDS) breathe without a ventilator sooner. It may help shorten the time you need a breathing machine in the ICU.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07237867Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for knee pain in athletes
This study tests if a mild electrical current to a nerve in the groin area can improve thigh muscle strength in athletes with long-standing jumper's knee (patellar tendinopathy). The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce pain and improve function.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–40 - NCT05706831Recruiting
Music and gentle brain stimulation after neurological injury
This trial tests whether combining music with gentle electrical brain stimulation can improve symptoms after a neurologic event, such as language and attention problems. It’s meant for adults who are living with effects of stroke and certain levels of reduced awareness.
Bari, BaAges 18 years+ - NCT07136688Recruiting
Tibial nerve stimulation for kids with spina bifida and bladder issues
This trial tests if a simple, non-surgical nerve stimulation can help children with spina bifida who have bladder control problems. It may reduce the need for strong medications or catheter use.
Houston, TexasAges 4–17 - NCT05337982Recruiting
Exercise training with stimulation after spinal cord injury
This study tests a special exercise program (with muscle training and possible stimulation) soon after spinal cord injury to see how muscles and the body respond. It also includes healthy adults to compare measurements and biomarkers.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT05752071Recruiting
Stomach stimulation to help bowel recovery after major surgery
This trial tests a stomach (gastrointestinal) stimulation approach to help your bowels start working again after extensive surgery, which may cause a temporary problem called postoperative ileus. If it helps, it could mean faster recovery and less time with bowel-related complications.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06334952Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation for hard-to-treat epilepsy
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS for people with drug-resistant epilepsy that starts in one part of the brain. It aims to reduce seizures in those who cannot have surgery or have not been helped by surgery.
BordeauxAges 9 years+ - NCT05980767Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for better recovery after cubital tunnel release
This trial tests a short burst of electrical stimulation during surgery to improve nerve healing and hand function after cubital tunnel release. It may help people with ulnar nerve problems at the elbow recover faster.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT06455137Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for spinal cord injury recovery
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and muscle control in people with spinal cord injury. If you've had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are between 20-70 years old, this might help improve leg function and walking.
Hualien CityAges 20–70 - NCT03738072Recruiting
Test of brain electrical stimulation to plan epilepsy surgery
This study looks at how using a mild electrical stimulation in the brain may help doctors plan surgery for people with drug-resistant focal (partial) epilepsy. It happens during a hospital procedure to map the seizure areas (SEEG), so it may help improve where surgery targets.
ToulouseAges 12–65 - NCT06977503Recruiting
Electrical stimulation with life coaching for burnout in healthcare workers

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.
