Recruiting studies
- NCT05365282Recruiting
Check how a wrist artery procedure affects hand nerve symptoms
This study looks at whether a procedure on an artery in the wrist is linked to new or worsening nerve symptoms in the hand. It may help doctors understand who is at higher or lower risk and improve safety.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05142800Recruiting
Screening for Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Targeted Therapy
This study is looking at whether targeted therapy for breast cancer changes the risk of arm swelling (lymphedema). It is a screening trial that uses a machine to measure arm size and check for any swelling early on.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT05154799Recruiting
Study of developmental coordination disorder in children and adults
This study is looking at people with developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) using specific movement and coordination assessments. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how to measure it for future treatments or support.
Bron, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 9–40 - NCT05023434Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for hand strength in brain tumor patients
This study uses brain stimulation during surgery to see how it affects hand strength and hand function. It may help doctors understand which brain areas are important for hand movement in people with certain brain tumors.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–75 - NCT04947462Recruiting
Improved control of prosthetic arms with hand nerve signals
This study tests a new way to connect nerve signals from your amputated arm to a prosthetic hand, which may help you control it more naturally and feel what the hand is touching.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04875078Enrolling by invitation
UVA-1 light treatment for hand skin tightness in scleroderma
This study tests whether UVA-1 light sessions can loosen tight skin and improve hand function in people with scleroderma. If you qualify, you would attend UVA-1 treatments twice a week for the study period.
Murray, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT04725201RecruitingPhase 4
IV heparin study after finger or hand reattachment
This study looks at whether giving an IV blood thinner called unfractionated heparin after finger/hand reattachment and restoring blood flow improves healing and safety. If you were accepted into the CEVARMU replant/revascularization program, this trial may be testing a standard-after-surgery medicine approach.
Montreal, QuebecAges 14 years+ - NCT04436042Recruiting
Hand brace therapy for adults with stroke-related arm weakness
This trial studies an active hand brace (orthosis) that helps improve hand use in daily life after stroke. You may be able to join if you have stroke-related hand weakness and can safely use the device as directed.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04207437Recruiting
Daily handheld vibration therapy for chemotherapy nerve pain
This trial studies whether daily handheld vibration can lessen nerve damage symptoms in the hands after certain chemotherapy medicines. It may help reduce numbness, tingling, or pain from chemotherapy-related nerve problems.
Avon, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT03546374Recruiting
Stop a common heart rhythm with surgery add-on therapy
This study looks at whether an added heart device approach around the time of planned open-heart surgery can help treat non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a long-lasting irregular heartbeat. It may help lower ongoing AF burden in people who also need non-emergency heart surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03680872Recruiting
Brain-to-nerve study to improve hand movement after spinal injury
This trial tests a “neural bypass” approach to help restore hand movement and feeling in people with tetraplegia from a spinal cord injury. You would have repeated visits for brain/nerve testing and may receive study procedures to see if function improves.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 22–65 - NCT03400345Recruiting
Follow-up for transplanted arm patients
This study follows people who received a transplanted arm (or both arms) to learn from their ongoing care. You may be asked for small tissue samples (biopsies) and to continue an immunotherapy plan to help protect the transplant.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT03223090Recruiting
Motor language learning study for French speakers
This study tests how people learn language using brain-and-movement training (including tasks during brain scans and non-drug brain stimulation for some parts). It may help researchers understand learning and how the brain adapts during new language practice.
BronAges 20–40 - NCT02896348Recruiting
Home therapy training for hand function after stroke
This trial tests a physio-and-neuro “platform” to help retrain hand movement at home in people who are at least 6 months out from a stroke. It may help improve hand function and confidence doing daily tasks using an at-home retraining program.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–80 - NCT02359253Recruiting
Robot-assisted arm therapy after a recent stroke
This study tests whether robot-guided therapy can improve arm and hand recovery after a stroke. You may be a candidate if your stroke was recent and you still have certain levels of arm weakness and movement.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT02310867RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy to help grafts heal for people with limb loss
This Phase 2 study tests an immune-targeting treatment to help a transplanted tissue “graft” integrate and heal better after limb loss. It may help by reducing problems with healing and rejection, but you must be able to complete frequent follow-up visits and testing.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–65

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hand?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 256 recruiting hand 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 hand 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 hand 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.
