CórdobaAges 6–16 - NCT07626619Recruiting
Urdu translation of a muscle and nerve assessment tool
This study is testing a translated version of a tool that measures how well muscles and nerves work. Researchers want to make sure the Urdu translation works correctly for Pakistani patients and healthy volunteers.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–45 - NCT07241884Recruiting
Plantar fascia embolization with SakuraBead for heel pain
This trial tests a new treatment for plantar fasciitis using tiny beads (SakuraBead) that are injected to block abnormal blood vessels and reduce pain. It may help people with chronic heel pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
Tashkent, UzbekistanAges 18–75 - NCT06838793Recruiting
Comparing two nerve block methods for lung surgery
This trial compares two techniques for numbing the chest during lung cancer surgery to see which provides better pain relief. It may help patients recover with less discomfort.
New TerritoriesAges 18–80 - NCT04397484RecruitingPhase 4
Compare two local anesthetics after foot nerve blocks
This study tests whether lidocaine or levobupivacaine works better for how a nerve block behaves after foot surgery. It may help doctors choose the anesthetic that provides more reliable pain control after surgery.
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges 18–75 - NCT05649644Recruiting
Testing two anesthesia types for arm surgery
This trial compares two methods of numbing the arm and chest area during upper-extremity surgery. It may help you and your care team choose the option that works best and feels easiest for breathing and movement.
Hong KongAges 18–75 - NCT07151417RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Steroid injection during total knee replacement
This study tests whether adding a corticosteroid (a type of anti-inflammatory medicine) to the standard pain injection during total knee replacement can improve pain relief. It is for adults getting their first knee replacement at certain military hospitals.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05266976Recruiting
Exercise types and bone markers in healthy older veterans
This study compares different ways of exercising to see how they affect “bone-related” blood markers in older adults. It may help you and researchers understand which exercise patterns support healthy bones.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 60 years+ - NCT07633821Recruiting
3D-Printed Hand Brace for Daily Living Support
This trial tests a custom 3D-printed hand brace (orthosis) designed to help you use your hand better in everyday activities. You would wear it regularly to see if it improves your ability to do daily tasks like eating, dressing, or writing.

Milan, ItaliaAges 6 years+ - NCT05738824Recruiting
Study how inflammatory muscle diseases naturally change over time
This study follows people with suspected or confirmed inflammatory muscle disease (and sometimes healthy adults) to better understand how the condition progresses and what changes over time. It may help researchers identify patterns that could guide future treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for musculoskeletal diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 57 recruiting musculoskeletal diseases 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 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 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.
