Recovery from facial paralysis study
This trial tests a physical therapy approach to help people recover from Bell's palsy or other types of facial paralysis that started recently (within the last 6 months). It aims to see if specific treatments can improve facial movement and function.
CorrientesAges Any age - NCT06574737Recruiting
Can muscle signals predict arm recovery after stroke?
This study tests whether a simple muscle signal test (called surface EMG) can predict how well your arm will recover after a stroke. It involves placing small stickers on your skin to measure muscle activity while you try to move your affected arm.
Bandung, West JavaAges 18 years+ - NCT06701422Recruiting
Neck Spinal Cord Stimulation for Recovery After Surgery
This study tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord in the neck can help you recover function after cervical spine surgery. It is for people who need neck surgery and do not already have a stimulator device in their neck or chest.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06701474Recruiting
Knee replacement recovery: comparing body composition groups
This study looks at how well people recover after total knee replacement, comparing those with different body composition levels. The goal is to see if a measure called 'phase angle' affects recovery of strength and function.
Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 55 years+ - NCT06641271Enrolling by invitation
Vagus nerve stimulation with hand exercises for MS
This study tests if vagus nerve stimulation (a mild electrical pulse on the ear) combined with hand exercises can help repair the protective coating of your nerves and improve hand function in multiple sclerosis.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–70 - NCT06853015RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Double dose of 4-AP for spinal cord injury recovery
This study tests whether a higher dose of a drug called 4-AP can help improve leg movement and function after a spinal cord injury. It is for people who have had a spinal cord injury at or above the lower back and can already move their ankle and hip slightly.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT07074938Recruiting
Traditional Chinese medicine for brain injury recovery
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine called An Gong Niuhuang Wan can help people recover brain function after a traumatic brain injury and surgery. It may be a good fit if you are moderately affected (GCS 6–12) and your condition is stable enough to start treatment within three days.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–60 - NCT07204067Recruiting
Mirror therapy for hand recovery after recent stroke
This study tests whether mirror therapy—a simple exercise where you watch your unaffected hand move in a mirror to trick your brain—can help improve hand function after a recent stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke within the last month and have weakness on one side of their body.
Malakand, KPKAges 40–55 - NCT07538726Recruiting
Early weight-bearing after pelvic fracture surgery
This study tests whether patients can safely put weight on their leg earlier than usual after pelvic fracture surgery, and whether this helps them recover movement and function faster. Researchers will compare early partial weight-bearing to standard care.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18–55 - NCT07657182RecruitingPhase 4
Study comparing two nerve grafts for arm or hand recovery
This study tests a new nerve graft (Avance) against the standard sural nerve graft (taken from your leg) for repairing cut nerves in the arm or hand. The goal is to see which helps you recover function better over 2 years.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07323147Enrolling by invitation

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65–100 - NCT07322198Enrolling by invitation
Gong's mobilization with scapular lift for frozen shoulder
This trial tests two types of physical therapy for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) to see which better improves shoulder movement and function. One therapy includes a special lift of the shoulder blade (scapular high lift), and the other does not.

Coughing exercises vs breathing device after heart surgery in children
This study compares simple coughing exercises with a breathing device (incentive spirometry) to help children recover lung function faster after heart surgery. It may help reduce complications and shorten hospital stays.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for functional recovery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 92 recruiting functional recovery 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 recovery 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 recovery 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.
