Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT05245903Recruiting
Test a supplement and track brain changes with wearable sensors
This study tests whether taking nicotinamide riboside (a form of niacin) affects early memory changes in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It also uses passive wearable or sensor data (“digital biomarkers”) to measure changes over time.

This Phase 1 study tests a special MRI approach (using a contrast agent) to better measure changes in muscles in people with mitochondrial diseases. It also includes some healthy volunteers and other critically ill patients to compare results and check safety.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 10–60 - NCT06070662Recruiting
New MRI test for small heart vessel disease
This study tests a new way to diagnose small blood vessel disease in the heart using an MRI scan during a stress test. It is for people who are already participating in a larger heart imaging study and are scheduled for a catheter procedure.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT06078891Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
BCG vaccine to lower Alzheimer's blood markers
This trial tests whether the BCG vaccine (a tuberculosis vaccine) can lower a blood marker linked to Alzheimer's disease. It is for people aged 70–80 who have slightly elevated p-tau181 levels but still have normal thinking and daily living skills.
JerusalemAges 70–80 - NCT06033924Recruiting
Home Walking Program for Vets with Leg Artery Disease
This study tests a home-based walking program delivered through telehealth for Veterans with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It aims to help you walk farther with less pain.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21 years+ - NCT06053164RecruitingPhase 2
Portable oxygen for activity in mild-to-moderate lung disease
This study is testing whether using portable oxygen during physical activity can help people with mild-to-moderate interstitial lung disease feel better and be more active. It is for people whose oxygen levels drop during exercise but are normal at rest.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–85 - NCT06032065RecruitingPhase 3
Exercise for peripheral artery disease
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program is as effective as supervised exercise for improving walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You will be randomly assigned to one of two exercise groups, and you may be asked to drink beetroot juice as part of the study.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT06054516Recruiting
Study of heart metabolism in ischemic heart disease using advanced imaging
This trial uses a special imaging technique (hyperpolarized MRSI) to study metabolism in the heart muscle of people with chronic heart failure caused by ischemic heart disease. It aims to help doctors better understand how the heart uses energy.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 18–90 - NCT06041880Recruiting
Calf Stretching for Better Walking in PAD
This study tests whether a simple daily calf-stretching routine can improve walking ability and blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease. It offers a non-drug, non-surgical approach that you can do at home.
University Park, PennsylvaniaAges 40–85 - NCT05800275RecruitingPhase 2
Tucatinib and capecitabine plus spinal trastuzumab for HER2+ cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of tucatinib and capecitabine (taken by mouth) plus trastuzumab delivered into the spinal fluid, to treat breast cancer that has spread to the leptomeninges (lining around the brain/spinal cord). It may help reduce cancer activity in the spinal fluid and improve symptoms.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05960331Recruiting
Study how choice affects learning movement in Parkinson’s
This study looks at whether having more control or “autonomy” helps you learn new movement tasks. It may help researchers find ways to improve physical therapy training for people with Parkinson’s.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06018831Recruiting
Kidney screening for newborns
This study offers free urine and ultrasound screening for kidney disease in all newborn infants, with a goal to find and track potential issues early over the first 3 years of life.
Nantong, JiangsuAges Up to 6 years - NCT06023446Enrolling by invitation
Can eye photos detect early Alzheimer's disease?
This study uses a special camera (OCT) to take pictures of the retina (the back of your eye) to see if it can detect Alzheimer's disease very early. You may be eligible if you are either cognitively normal or have mild cognitive impairment, and have already had a test for Alzheimer's-related brain changes.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 50–89 - NCT06015191Recruiting
Remote heart rehab for teens with congenital heart disease
This trial tests a home-based cardiac rehab program for adolescents with certain types of congenital heart disease. It aims to help you exercise safely and improve your fitness using online coaching and monitoring.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 12–19 - NCT06001827Recruiting
Study of a wrap to help new dialysis access points heal
This trial tests a special wrap placed around a new arm access point for dialysis (called an AV fistula) to see if it helps the access stay healthy and work better. It is for people who need a new AV fistula for kidney dialysis.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05994014Recruiting
Comparing two heart scans for artery blockages
This study compares two types of heart scans to see which one better finds blockages in the arteries of people with chest discomfort or shortness of breath when active. You will have both a special CT scan and a PET/CT scan to check the health of your heart arteries.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05995418Recruiting
Cost and health impact study for Alzheimer's in China
This study looks at the financial and health effects of Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) in China. It aims to understand how the disease affects patients and families over time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for musculoskeletal diseases or conditions?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 4,026 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.
