Diet study to improve blood sugar control in new diabetes
This study looks at how carbohydrate intake may affect how well insulin-producing cells work and how stable your blood sugar becomes in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. It may help families learn dietary steps that improve glucose control early on.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 5–12 - NCT05899439Recruiting
Blood test study of immune changes in type 1 diabetes
This study looks at how your immune system changes over time and how that relates to developing type 1 diabetes. You may be able to join if you can have blood drawn, since the study focuses on blood samples.
Gainesville, FloridaAges birth–100 years - NCT05903859RecruitingPhase 3
Study to improve fertility in men after spinal cord injury
This phase 3 study tests a treatment to improve reproductive function (fertility-related measures) in men who have had a traumatic spinal cord injury. If you may be eligible, it could help researchers see whether the treatment improves reproductive outcomes for men with spinal cord injury.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05908591Recruiting
Pregnancy sleep study on breathing, blood vessel function, and safety
This study looks at how sleep and breathing changes during pregnancy may affect blood vessel function and pregnancy safety. You may be asked about your sleep and possibly have health checks during the middle of pregnancy.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05909267Recruiting
Testing dopamine-targeted treatment for depression and body inflammation
This study looks at how changing dopamine signaling may affect motivation and movement in people with major depression, and it also involves healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand whether dopamine changes can improve symptoms and how inflammation may relate to brain function.
SteglitzAges 18–65 - NCT05912257Recruiting
Nutrition program before and after surgery to protect function
This study tests whether an “optimizing nutrition” plan before and after cancer surgery can help older adults maintain physical strength and daily functioning. You may be randomly assigned to the nutrition program or another study group, and you’ll be asked about diet and physical function.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 55 years+ - NCT05920629Recruiting
Moderate drinking and heart recovery after a recent heart attack
This study looks at whether moderate alcohol intake affects heart function after a recent heart attack. You may be asked to follow a specific plan and attend scheduled visits so researchers can measure changes in your heart and overall recovery.
Basel, BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT05921422Recruiting
Study of thinking skills in children with cerebral palsy

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05943652Recruiting
Study of how functional overlay affects movement disorders
This study looks at movement disorders that are functional (not caused by damage to the nervous system) or non-functional, and how a “functional overlay” may change symptoms. It is observational, meaning it does not test a new treatment, but it may help researchers better understand these differences and improve care.

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.
