SeoulAges 18–75 - NCT07528469Recruiting
Protein drinks and muscle strength in older adults
This study tests whether a daily protein drink can help improve muscle function and strength in people aged 60–85. Researchers will compare a new protein supplement called PeptiStrong with regular whey protein to see which works better.
LiverpoolAges 60–85 - NCT05638464Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help hand movement after stroke
This trial studies whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique can improve hand and arm function in people whose stroke happened more than 12 months ago. It may help if you have mild-to-moderate hand weakness and can follow training instructions.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07342348Recruiting
Power mobility training for arm and hand function in cerebral palsy
This study tests whether using a ride-on toy can help children with cerebral palsy improve how they use their arms and hands. Kids get to practice moving and playing while sitting on a motorized toy.

Hand Scleroderma Experience Survey for People With Systemic Sclerosis
This study is testing a new scale to measure what it's like to live with hand problems caused by systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). By answering questions about your daily hand function, you can help doctors better understand your experience and improve care.
Malatya, MalatyaAges 18 years+ - NCT04276181Recruiting
Nerve and tendon transfer surgery for hand function after spinal cord injury
This trial studies a specialized surgery that reroutes nerves and tendons to help restore hand and grip function after a spinal cord injury. It may help some people regain more useful hand movement if their arm muscle strength and nerve signals are strong enough.
MölndalAges 15–55 - NCT07315724Recruiting
Block training for brain and hand health in older adults
This trial tests whether a technology-assisted block training program can improve thinking skills, hand coordination, and grip strength in older adults living in the community. It may help keep your mind and hands active as you age.
Yilan, TaiwanAges 65 years+ - NCT07752797Recruiting
Ultrasound and nerve tests for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study looks at how ultrasound, nerve tests, and hand function relate to carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to improve understanding of the condition and may help guide future treatment decisions.
Küçükçekmece, IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT06489106Enrolling by invitation
Spinal stimulation to improve hand function in kids with spinal cord injury

Louisville, KentuckyAges 7–12 - NCT07128043Enrolling by invitation
Cassava wax baths for trigger finger pain and function
This study tests whether warm baths made from cassava (tapioca) wax can reduce pain, improve hand function, and help with the catching or locking feeling in people with trigger finger. If you have trigger finger and no other major hand problems, this treatment may offer a gentle, non-surgical option.
Chiang Rai, Tha SutAges 40–70 - NCT06696885Recruiting
Mobile App for Exercise Adherence and Hand Function in Chronic Stroke
