Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT03979235Recruiting
Rehab effectiveness programs for people after stroke
This trial is testing rehabilitation programs by studying how well they work for people with movement problems after a stroke. You may be able to join if you can complete the rehab assessment and follow testing instructions.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT03980457Recruiting
Exoskeleton walking therapy for stroke recovery
This trial studies whether assisted walking training with an exoskeleton can improve recovery after stroke, especially for walking and daily function. You may be offered therapy once you are medically stable, able to stand, and able to participate safely.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–90 - NCT04005469RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Treprostinil to protect kidneys during transplant injury
This early-phase study tests whether treprostinil (Remodulin®) can reduce injury to a transplanted kidney right after surgery. If it works and is safe, it may help improve outcomes for people receiving a deceased-donor kidney transplant.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18–75 - NCT04006561Recruiting
Brain lymphoma study using targeted whole-brain radiation
This trial studies how newly diagnosed primary central nervous system (brain) non-Hodgkin lymphoma responds to a specific type of radiation to the whole brain, and it also looks at changes in thinking, mood, and behavior. It may help doctors understand how this treatment affects day-to-day brain function.
TaoyuanAges 18–80 - NCT03228290Recruiting
Liver transplant care study using patient function check
This study looks at how people with liver disease function day to day, especially around liver transplant care. It may help improve how doctors assess readiness and recovery needs.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07603076Recruiting
Vein Problems and Symptoms in Lipedema
This study looks at how vein function relates to lipedema (a condition causing painful fat buildup in legs). Researchers will use ultrasound to check your veins and ask about your symptoms to better understand how the two conditions connect.
Istanbul, UskudarAges 18–65 - NCT04014413Recruiting
Fecal transplant for gut and immune-related conditions
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges Any age - NCT04015609Recruiting
Spanish therapy sessions for Latino people with advanced cancer
This study tests a psychotherapy (talking/support) intervention designed for Latino/Hispanic adults with stage III or IV solid tumor cancer. It uses Spanish-only questionnaires and interviews, and may help by addressing emotional distress during advanced cancer care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04019548RecruitingPhase 3
Test swallowing and quality of life during chemo-radiation for throat cancer
This study looks at how well people swallow and how their quality of life changes during standard chemo-radiation for newly diagnosed throat (oropharyngeal) cancer. The goal is to better understand swallowing side effects so care can improve.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT04022616Recruiting
Study immune cells in breast cancer patients
This study looks at how certain immune cells behave in people with breast cancer. It may help researchers understand the disease and how the immune system affects it.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04032990Recruiting
Testing a skin-based nerve stimulation for kids’ arm function
This trial studies whether a painless, skin-based treatment (stimulation over the spine) is safe and feasible to improve arm and hand function in children with a spinal cord injury. It’s mainly designed to see if the approach can be done safely and whether it may help upper-limb skills.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 4–18 - NCT04044963Recruiting
Exercise program before kidney transplant to improve physical strength
This trial tests whether a home exercise program before kidney transplant can improve physical function and strength. If you’re getting a transplant and can safely exercise, you may be able to join the study and help compare outcomes.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT04066465Recruiting
Testing how proton therapy affects thinking in young people
This study looks at how proton radiation therapy may affect thinking, learning, and brain function in children and teens with a primary brain tumor. It uses repeated short brain/learning tests to track possible changes over time.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 8–18 - NCT04070937Recruiting
Imaging findings and balance function in bilateral vestibulopathy
This study compares CT/MRI imaging results (radiological lesions) with balance system function tests in people with bilateral vestibulopathy. The goal is to see whether changes seen on scans match how well your inner-ear/balance nerves are working, which could improve understanding and future treatment decisions.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18–90 - NCT04095351Recruiting
Study of connective tissue disease affecting the lungs
This study looks at people aged 18 and older who have a connective tissue disease and lung involvement. It aims to better understand how these lung problems progress and may help doctors choose better care.
InnsbruckAges 18–80 - NCT04109820Recruiting
Testing MitoQ for blood clotting activity in sickle cell
This trial studies whether MitoQ changes how your platelets (blood cells that help clot) work and how much “reactive oxygen” your body makes. It includes adults with sickle cell anemia and African American healthy volunteers to compare results.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04137835Recruiting
Noninvasive motion testing for arm and leg function
This study tests how well your upper and lower body moves using non-invasive methods (no procedures or surgery). It’s likely best for healthy adults who can follow instructions and want to help researchers measure movement and function.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–65 - NCT04171323Recruiting
Active mind training to improve thinking and delay dementia
This study tests an “active mind” computer-based program to help improve thinking skills and possibly slow the process toward dementia. You may be randomly assigned to different program options to see which approach works best for your goals.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 55–89 - 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+ - NCT04182087Recruiting
Testing thinking skills after a localized brain injury
This trial studies how your thinking and memory abilities work after a single, localized brain injury seen on MRI. It involves cognitive (thinking) tasks to assess changes and may help researchers understand brain function after injury.
GrenobleAges 18–70 - NCT04196244RecruitingPhase 4
IV-contrast CT vs no-contrast CT for urgent abdominal pain
This study compares two types of CT scans—using IV contrast dye versus not using dye—in people who need an emergency abdominal scan but have reduced kidney function. It aims to see which approach is safer and works well enough to help doctors find the cause.
EspooAges 18 years+ - NCT04198909Recruiting
Testing a new way to measure hearing nerve health

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.
