Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05240885Recruiting
Study how aging and health affect body function and metabolism
This trial studies how the body changes with aging in both healthy people and people with health conditions. It may help researchers better understand what affects physical function and metabolism over time.

Balance and walking strength testing for spinal deformity adults
This study checks balance and leg strength using simple walking and movement tests. It focuses on adults with spinal deformity and compares them to people without deformity, to better measure how well you function.

Fisetin for better walking and strength in breast cancer survivors
This study tests whether fisetin (a natural compound) can improve physical function, like walking ability, in breast cancer survivors who feel frail. It may help strengthen muscles and improve daily activity after treatment.
Alhambra, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04890821Recruiting
Percutaneous ring repair for leaking tricuspid valve
This early study tests a minimally invasive device that helps tighten (repair) the tricuspid valve ring to reduce severe leaking. It may help people who still have symptoms from right-sided heart failure even after taking the best available medicines.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04705623Recruiting
Iyengar yoga for hot flashes and menopause health
This trial studies whether a structured Iyengar yoga program can improve “bio-functional age” and related health measures in women after menopause. You may help the researchers learn if yoga can reduce menopause symptoms like hot flushes and improve how your body functions.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05848609Recruiting
Quality of life study for older adults having robotic colon surgery
This study looks at how older people feel and function after robotic surgery for colorectal cancer. It may help doctors understand what to expect and how to better support quality of life during recovery.
BrusselsAges 70 years+ - NCT05738720Recruiting
Home breathing rehab to reduce COPD flare-ups and hospital visits
This trial tests whether a breathing and exercise program done at home can lower COPD flare-ups and the chance of needing hospital care. It may help people with more severe COPD manage breathlessness and stay stable.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT03752034Recruiting
Muscle fragments after rotator cuff surgery to improve shoulder function
This study looks at whether using “muscle fiber fragments” during/after rotator cuff repair can help your shoulder work better. It targets people with a small tear in one shoulder who can follow the post-surgery follow-up plan.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 40–80 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04393181Recruiting
Study how donor heart function affects transplant outcomes
This study looks at how well donor hearts work and how that affects outcomes after heart transplantation. It may help transplant teams choose and use donor hearts more effectively.
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT04030650Recruiting
Study of walking expectations on slopes and stairs after limb amputation
This study looks at how people with a leg amputation think about and perform walking on stairs and up/down slopes. It may help researchers understand what supports safer, more confident mobility.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05869812RecruitingPhase 2
HMB supplement study to help recovery after surgery
This trial tests whether taking an HMB supplement after surgery can help improve muscle size and function during recovery. It may be helpful if you are a female athlete planning rehab at a specific physical therapy clinic.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,557 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.
