Salvage surgery study for recurrent head and neck skin-cell cancer
This study looks at how well people do after “salvage” surgery (planned surgery after prior treatment) for recurrent or residual squamous cell cancer in the head and neck. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most, including how this surgery affects survival and day-to-day function.
DerbyAges 18 years+ - NCT05574244Recruiting
Partial vs complete prostate surgery to preserve ejaculation
This trial compares two surgical approaches for men with benign prostate enlargement (BPH): one that aims to preserve ejaculation and one that removes more tissue. It looks at how well you recover urinary function and sexual outcomes after surgery.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 40 years+ - NCT05447819Recruiting
Shoulder replacement for worn rotator cuff joint
This trial studies a specific type of reverse shoulder implant to improve shoulder function after severe joint wear. It’s for people whose shoulder pain and loss of function did not improve enough with non-surgical treatments and who need shoulder arthroplasty.
Hellerup, DenmarkAges 50 years+ - NCT05264675Recruiting
Treatment study for thumb tendon injury after wrist fracture
This study looks at outcomes after an EPL tendon rupture that happens with a distal radius (wrist) fracture. It may help improve how thumb function is treated and measured after this specific type of injury.
MölndalAges 16 years+ - NCT04858347Recruiting
Study of a specific knee implant and recovery outcomes
This trial looks at how well a particular knee replacement (a GEMINI SL fixed-bearing prosthesis) works and how people function after surgery. It may help doctors learn what to expect for recovery and long-term results with this implant.
Cali, Valle del Cauca DepartmentAges 18–80 - NCT04926597Recruiting
Extra nutrition after hospital discharge for higher-risk patients
This study looks at whether continuing nutritional support after you leave the hospital can reduce death risk and help you recover better—like improving strength, frailty, and daily functioning. It targets people who are at higher risk of poor nutrition during/after their hospital stay.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07718425Recruiting
Endoscopic mastectomy surgery study
This study tests a new, less invasive surgery called endoscopic mastectomy for women who need breast removal. It aims to see how well the surgery works, how the breast looks and feels afterward, and whether nipple sensation is preserved.
Ponderano, BIAges 18–75 - NCT04833426RecruitingPhase 3
Testosterone levels around prostate surgery and recovery outcomes
This trial studies whether testosterone levels before and around radical prostate surgery affect cancer control and sexual/physical recovery. It may help doctors understand who benefits from testosterone replacement and who should not.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04792892Recruiting
Study of quality of life after new anal cancer diagnosis
This study looks at how people’s day-to-day functioning and quality of life change after an anal cancer diagnosis. It mainly enrolls adults recently diagnosed to understand outcomes early on.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04688593Recruiting
Follow-up study of a hip implant cup and stem system
This study looks at how well a specific hip implant (the acetabular cup and femoral stem) works over short, mid, and long-term follow-up. It may help you and other patients by improving understanding of implant outcomes after surgery.
KielAges 18 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+ - NCT07727551Recruiting
Nerve block before knee replacement for better recovery
This trial tests if a nerve block given a few weeks before knee replacement surgery can improve pain and function after the operation. It is designed for people who have certain risk factors that might make recovery harder.
BrusselsAges 18–60 - 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 - NCT03150511RecruitingPhase 2
Tesamorelin after wrist ulnar nerve injury to improve function

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for functional outcome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 141 recruiting functional outcome 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 functional outcome 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 functional outcome 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.
