Baby brain scans in England to study early development
This study does brain imaging (brain scans) in babies to better understand early brain development and how factors like family history and COVID-19 might relate to development. It may help researchers learn which babies could need extra support later.
LondonAges 16–75 - NCT04477785Recruiting
Study to track Parkinson’s signs using imaging, spinal fluid, and genes
This study is building a large, detailed group of people—some with Parkinson’s and some at higher risk—to understand early changes over time. It uses brain imaging (DaTscan SPECT), sometimes spinal fluid tests (lumbar puncture), and genetic information to help researchers better measure disease and develop future treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 30 years+ - NCT04478305RecruitingPhase 1
Duavive trial for mood and anxiety in midlife women
This Phase 1 study tests Duavive’s effects on mood and anxiety symptoms in women going through perimenopause or early menopause. It may help clarify whether this treatment can reduce depression and/or anxiety symptoms in midlife.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 45–60 - NCT04492345Recruiting
Back muscle training for posture problems in Parkinson’s
This trial tests a special way to strengthen the back muscles to improve posture problems in people with Parkinson’s (or similar conditions). It may help reduce postural deformities and improve movement comfort while your Parkinson’s treatment stays steady.
Le LamentinAges 18–85 - NCT04500665RecruitingPhase 2
Colchicine for kidney-related heart inflammation
This Phase 2 trial tests whether colchicine can reduce inflammation and improve heart function in people with kidney disease and a certain type of heart problem. If you qualify, you’ll be closely monitored for side effects and lab changes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–80 - NCT04500847RecruitingPhase 1
Testing repurposed HIV-like drugs for early Alzheimer’s symptoms
This Phase 1 study tests whether an existing type of anti-viral medicine (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors) can help people with early Alzheimer’s disease. It also focuses on safety and proper dosing while measuring brain-related changes and memory-related symptoms.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50–85 - NCT04506593Recruiting
GI Motility diagnosis registry for people with digestion movement problems
This trial is a registry, meaning it collects information about people being evaluated for problems with how the gut moves. It may help doctors better diagnose gastrointestinal motility disorders in the future.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT04516057RecruitingPhase 3
Tested medicine nabilone for agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia
This Phase 3 trial studies whether nabilone can reduce agitation (restlessness, anger, or difficult behavior) in people with Alzheimer’s dementia. It’s designed for older adults who already have agitation despite standard dementia care.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 55 years+ - NCT04519151RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib for ovarian cancer that returned
This Phase 2 trial tests whether pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib can shrink ovarian cancer that has come back after platinum chemotherapy. You may be eligible if your cancer returned after a certain “time off” from prior treatment and you meet key health and safety requirements.
Ramat GanAges 18 years+ - NCT04523857RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib and hydroxychloroquine after breast cancer relapse risk
This Phase 2 trial tests whether abemaciclib plus hydroxychloroquine can kill tiny “leftover” cancer cells in the bone marrow after standard breast cancer treatment. It may help lower the chance of cancer coming back by targeting minimal residual disease.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04528355Recruiting
Study of hospital data after stem cell transplant for non-cancer illness
This study collects medical information from people with certain non-cancer conditions who receive a stem cell transplant. It may help doctors better understand transplant outcomes and care, since the study focuses on data collection rather than adding new treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 2 months–60 years - NCT04529031Recruiting
Study of reminder-based positive thinking for teens with PTSD
This study looks at whether a “reminder-focused positive thinking” approach can help teens with PTSD. It may benefit you by testing how certain cues and supportive thoughts affect PTSD symptoms and related wellbeing.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 11–15 - NCT04536220Recruiting
Blood-based tests to help diagnose pancreatic cancer
This study uses blood taken from a vein to build and check diagnostic models for pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors identify pancreatic cancer more accurately in people who have a suspected mass on imaging.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04543461Recruiting
Lung health study for young adults in the U.S.
This study follows young adults to learn about lung health and risk factors. It may help researchers better understand how breathing symptoms and exposures affect future lung outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 25–35 - NCT04565795Recruiting
Temporary dissolvable ureter stent after uncomplicated ureteroscopy
This trial studies a temporary stent that is designed to dissolve in the ureter after a straightforward ureteroscopy to remove a kidney/ureter stone. The goal is to check safety and how well the device performs, and whether it can replace longer-lasting stents for some people.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21–80 - NCT04579120Recruiting
Brain scan study in healthy aging or early Alzheimer’s
This study uses brain imaging to understand changes in the brain during normal aging and early Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It may help researchers spot early brain changes and evaluate how well imaging measures those changes.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04580420RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an oxalate-lowering medicine for PH1 and kidney failure
This Phase 2 study tests a medicine called DCR-PHXC to lower body oxalate levels in people with PH1 who have advanced kidney failure. By lowering oxalate, the treatment may reduce harm from oxalate buildup and help researchers understand safety and effectiveness.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04582903Recruiting
Send-in sample collection study for immune response to respiratory viruses
This study collects sent-in samples to better understand how your immune system responds during a COVID-19–like illness and after you recover. It may help researchers learn why some people get sick and others stay uninfected, and how immune protection works over time.
Rockville, MarylandAges 1 day–99 years - NCT04599621Recruiting
Testing treatment for heart pain with anxiety or depression
This trial looks at people who have coronary artery disease and unstable or certain stable chest-pain symptoms, especially when anxiety or depressive symptoms are also present. The goal is to see how the study approach helps heart symptoms when mental health symptoms occur at the same time.
SamarkandAges Any age - NCT04602325Recruiting
Blood and brain injury biomarker study for inherited metabolic disorders
This trial studies blood and other measurable signs (biomarkers) that may reflect brain injury after certain inherited metabolic conditions. Results may help doctors better detect and understand brain effects from these illnesses, especially episodes that affect the brain.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 7–18 - NCT04604782RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Test knee muscle activation in people with nerve or movement disorders
This study checks how well your knee muscles “turn on” during guided, controlled knee movements. It may help researchers understand movement problems and improve testing or therapies for neuromotor (nerve/movement) disorders.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for musculoskeletal diseases or conditions?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 4,063 recruiting musculoskeletal diseases or conditions 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 musculoskeletal diseases or conditions 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 musculoskeletal diseases or conditions 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.
