Osteopathic manipulation vs. wrist brace for carpal tunnel
This study tests whether osteopathic manipulation (a gentle hands-on treatment) works better than wearing a wrist brace for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild or moderate carpal tunnel and haven't had surgery, this trial might help find a non-surgical option.
Old Westbury, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07659054Recruiting
Shoulder brace study for clavicle fractures or rotator cuff tears
This study tests how wearing a shoulder brace affects joint movement and coordination in people with clavicle fractures or severe rotator cuff tears, compared to healthy volunteers. It may help understand the best ways to immobilize the shoulder after injury.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 20–65 - NCT07788144Enrolling by invitation
Blood-cleaning therapy for severe belly infections
This study tests a blood-cleaning treatment to remove harmful toxins from the blood of people with severe abdominal infections. It might help their organs recover faster.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT07751068Recruiting
Ankle fracture treatment in children
This trial compares non-surgical treatments for children with a first-time ankle fracture. It aims to find which treatment works best for healing and recovery.
Frisco, TexasAges 5–12 - NCT04416191Recruiting
Immune cells study during inactivity and recovery
This study looks at how your immune system changes when you are inactive and then become more active again. It may help researchers understand how recovery affects immune health after disuse.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–85 - NCT05156749Recruiting
Short vs long casts for certain forearm fractures in kids
This study compares short-arm versus long-arm fiberglass casts to see which one works best for healing certain forearm bone injuries in children. It may help families choose a cast type that supports proper healing while aiming for comfort and safe recovery.
ZurichAges 4–16 - NCT06961578Recruiting
Comparing surgery and collar for odontoid fractures in older adults
This trial is comparing two treatments for a specific type of neck fracture (odontoid fracture) in people over 70: wearing a rigid neck collar versus having surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and quality of life.
Munich, BavariaAges 70 years+ - NCT07292415Recruiting
Nerve repair using Matriderm for finger nerve injuries
This trial tests a special material called Matriderm to help repair damaged nerves in fingers or palms after an injury. It compares Matriderm to standard nerve repair to see if it leads to better recovery.
Nice, Alpes MaritimesAges 16–75 - NCT07628361Recruiting
Strength Training on Uninjured Side During Shoulder Injury Recovery
This study tests whether exercising your uninjured arm and shoulder while your injured shoulder heals in a sling can help you recover strength and function faster. Researchers will also use a safe brain-imaging tool to measure how your nervous system responds to this training.
Santiago, ProvidenciaAges 18–36 - NCT07726407Recruiting
Surface-guided radiation for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a special camera system (SGRT) to help you stay still during head and neck radiation. It may make treatment more accurate and comfortable by using your own breathing to guide positioning.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04323410Recruiting
Compare two ways to fix children’s forearm bone fractures
This study compares two surgical methods—casting versus percutaneous pinning—to treat certain distal (near the wrist) forearm fractures in children. It aims to find which method works best for healing and function, especially in specific fracture types.
HelsinkiAges Up to 10 years - NCT06593912Recruiting
Recovery after peroneal tendon surgery with different casts
This trial compares different immobilization methods after surgery for peroneal tendon or nearby ligament tears. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing and patient-reported outcomes.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07069426Recruiting
Protein and muscle loss during leg immobilization
This study tests how different amounts of dietary protein affect your muscles when your leg is temporarily immobilized in a brace. If you are a healthy, active adult, you might help researchers learn how to prevent muscle loss during periods of reduced activity.
Natick, MassachusettsAges 17–39 - NCT07111325RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
iEVs injection for tennis elbow
This trial tests an injection called iEVs for people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that hasn't gotten better with physical therapy or anti-inflammatory drugs. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps reduce pain.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for immobilization?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 31 recruiting immobilization 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 immobilization 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 immobilization 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.
