Recruiting studies
- NCT01535430Recruiting
Mapping brain function in people with certain brain tumors
This study uses brain “mapping” tests (with MRI and possibly other methods) to identify important brain functions near a tumor. It may help your care team plan a safer surgery by understanding which brain areas do critical tasks.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT04509050Recruiting
Testing a highly effective CF medicine in young children
This study looks at how well a highly effective cystic fibrosis (CF) medicine works in infants and young children, and what biological changes it causes. It may help families understand whether the medicine improves CF function and related measures early in life.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 10 years - NCT04498806Enrolling by invitation
Using activity trackers to measure function in neck myelopathy
This study uses a wearable activity tracker (Fitbit app on your phone) to track how your physical function changes around the time of neck decompression surgery. It may help doctors better measure recovery and day-to-day movement after surgery.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–90 - NCT04530383RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin add-on for adult cystic-fibrosis related diabetes on CF meds
This trial tests whether adding metformin can improve blood-sugar control and related lung cell function in adults who have cystic-fibrosis–related diabetes (CFRD) and are already taking CFTR modulator therapy. It may help if your diabetes is still not well controlled despite those CF medicines.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04506593Recruiting
GI Motility diagnosis registry for people with digestion movement problems
This trial is a registry, meaning it collects information about people being evaluated for problems with how the gut moves. It may help doctors better diagnose gastrointestinal motility disorders in the future.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT04495660Recruiting
Brain and hearing testing after cochlear implants in children
This study uses a non-painful brain-light monitor to check how hearing and thinking skills change after a cochlear implant in deaf children. It also compares results with children who have normal hearing.
ToulouseAges 10 months–7 years - NCT04391335Recruiting
Breathing tests to spot lung scarring after stem cell transplant
This study checks new ways to measure breathing in children who had a stem cell transplant to better detect a lung condition called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. If you join, you’ll do breathing and imaging tests, and researchers will look for patterns that may help with diagnosis.
Toronto, OntarioAges 6–18 - NCT04449666Recruiting
Brain scan and memory testing after bleeding from a brain aneurysm
This trial uses brain MRI scans and memory/brain-function tests in people who are recovering from a specific type of brain bleed (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage). It aims to understand how the brain’s memory area changes after the event and how that may relate to memory function during rehabilitation.
Hessisch OldendorfAges 18–70 - NCT04381663Enrolling by invitation
Tracking symptoms in degenerative neck spine narrowing
This study follows adults with degenerative narrowing in the neck spine to see how symptoms and function change over time. It may help doctors better understand which patients improve or worsen, and why.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT04482478Recruiting
Edl treatment trial for functional indigestion symptoms
This trial studies whether EDL medicine can improve symptoms of functional dyspepsia (indigestion) and is safe for people with this condition. You may be asked to complete symptom questionnaires and undergo stomach testing to confirm there is no other cause for your symptoms.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT04471129Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support after heart surgery to protect heart function
This study tests whether two noninvasive breathing/oxygen treatments after cardiac surgery help improve heart function. It may benefit people with weak pumping function who are recovering in the hospital and can safely use these devices.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT04458584Recruiting
Thumb surgery trial comparing treatments for basal joint arthritis
This study looks at how well different thumb (basal joint) surgery approaches restore strength and function. You would be having planned (non-replacement) thumb surgery, and your chosen surgeon would care for you while researchers compare outcomes.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 21 years+ - NCT04451044Enrolling by invitation
Guided heart stent planning using an inside pressure sensor
This study tests whether using a tiny pressure sensor in heart arteries during a procedure can better guide where to place a stent. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective stent plan by more accurately measuring artery narrowing.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04289571RecruitingPhase 1
Virtual reality vision testing for people with retinal disease
This early-stage study uses virtual reality tasks to check how well a person can move and function using their eyesight. It may help researchers measure vision abilities in a way that could guide future care for retinal disease.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–120 - NCT04297020Recruiting
Checking brain health in breast cancer survivors
This study looks at differences in brain function in people who have had breast cancer, compared with certain people without that history. It’s testing how brain health changes after breast cancer and relates to mood, thinking, and daily functioning.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 35–65 - NCT04330118Recruiting
Study immune cells in DRESS and drug rash reactions
This trial studies how certain immune cells (eosinophils) behave during severe drug reactions like DRESS and during milder drug rashes. It may help doctors understand what drives organ damage and improve how these reactions are managed.
ArrasAges 18 years+ - NCT04343157RecruitingPhase 2
Image-guided radiation for brain tumors that protects thinking
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy for brain tumors that aims to protect your memory and thinking skills. It may be an option if you have certain brain tumors or a small number of brain metastases.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04310241Recruiting
Test eye alignment and vision changes in lazy eye patients
This study looks at vision problems in children with lazy eye (amblyopia) and eye misalignment (strabismus), and whether they improve with treatment. It may help researchers understand what visual changes to expect and which patients respond best.
Cleveland, OhioAges 6 months–90 years - NCT01280994RecruitingPhase 2
Lung MRI test using special gas to measure breathing
This Phase 2 study uses a special type of MRI with inhaled gas to measure how well your lungs work. It may help researchers better understand lung function in healthy people and in people with lung disease.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04179981Recruiting
CPAP treatment effects in older COPD and sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT04246138Recruiting
Robot-assisted knee replacement alignment: best function
This trial compares two types of robot-guided knee replacement alignment to see which one helps people do everyday activities better after surgery. If you have “wear-and-tear” knee arthritis, you may be offered one of the two surgical alignment approaches as part of a study.
Hull, East YorkshireAges 18–90 - NCT04165746Recruiting
Early care program for very young children in foster systems

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,474 recruiting function 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 function 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 function 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.
