Tracking balance and inner-ear function after Gamma Knife for schwannoma
This study looks at how balance and inner-ear (vestibular) function change after Gamma Knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma. It may help doctors understand what to expect during recovery and how well these functions improve.
ToulouseAges 18–65 - NCT04877197Recruiting
Home telehealth coaching to improve mood after heart hospitalization
This Phase 3 study tests a home-based telehealth program (behavioral activation coaching) to improve functioning in people who recently left the hospital after a heart-related event and also have major depression. It may help you feel more able to do everyday activities and better manage depression symptoms.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT04812314Recruiting
Study how exercise changes body fat and metabolism
This study looks at how starting exercise changes the structure and function of body fat. It may help you understand how exercise affects things like cholesterol and blood sugar, even if you’re not currently exercising regularly.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–40 - NCT04804384Recruiting
Testing a brain-controlled hand device after a stroke
This study tests whether a “closed-loop” neuroprosthesis (a hand-control device that responds to your movement) can improve hand grasping after a stroke. It may help people who cannot open or grab objects on their own, and who can safely participate during a short hospital stay.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT04708431Recruiting
Study of health and wellbeing in people with androgen insensitivity
This study looks at the long-term health and wellbeing of people with androgen insensitivity, a genetic condition that affects how the body responds to androgens (male-type hormones). It may help your care team understand what to watch for over time and improve future guidance for patients and families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–99 - NCT04722835Recruiting
Study lung immune cells in people at risk for COPD
This study looks at different lung immune cell patterns and how they work in smokers who are not yet diagnosed with COPD or asthma. It may help researchers understand why some people are more likely to develop COPD, which could guide future prevention or early treatments.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT04758624Recruiting
Study brain changes after deep brain stimulation for tremor
This study looks at how brain “wiring” (connectivity) and brain function change over time in people with essential tremor after successful deep brain stimulation. You might benefit by helping researchers better understand what DBS does in the brain, which can improve care for others with tremor.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT04708613Recruiting

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.
