BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07474571Recruiting
Study of aging bones and joints using advanced scans
This trial uses scans like X-rays, CT, or MRI to study how bones and joints age. It aims to understand aging-related problems and may help develop better ways to detect or treat them.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07498491Recruiting
Weighted blanket study for adults with ongoing pain
This study tests whether using a weighted blanket (10–25 pounds) while sleeping can help adults with chronic pain. If you join, you'll use the blanket every night for about 5 weeks and complete simple online questionnaires.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT07532070Recruiting
Exercise and Therapy for Chronic Pain and Sleep Problems

Osteopathic treatment versus physical therapy for neck and head dysfunction
This study compares two hands-on treatment approaches—osteopathic manipulation and physiotherapy—for chronic neck pain, headaches, and dizziness caused by cervical dysfunction. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these treatments and help researchers understand which works better.
Pristina, PejtonAges 18–65 - NCT07563777Recruiting
Long-term study of human aging and health
This is a long-term research study that follows people over time to understand how humans age. Researchers will collect information about your health and lifestyle to learn what helps people stay healthier as they get older.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07602595Recruiting
Understanding pain after childhood rheumatic disease or surgery
This study helps researchers learn how young adults (ages 14–26) who had rheumatic disease or orthopedic surgery as children experience pain over time. By understanding your story, the study may help doctors better support others facing similar challenges.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 14–26 - NCT07646782Recruiting

Deep vs. Shallow Needle Treatment for Neck Pain
This study compares two ways of using dry needling (a technique where thin needles are inserted into tight muscles) to treat neck pain caused by muscle knots. Researchers will use ultrasound and electrical testing to see which approach works better and is safer.
Dammam, Eastern ProvinceAges 18–65 - NCT07535879Enrolling by invitation
Neck Pain Treatment Using Pressure Feedback for Teachers
This study tests whether using pressure feedback (a device that gives you information about muscle tension) while doing neck exercises helps reduce neck pain in teachers. Researchers want to see if this technique strengthens deep neck muscles and improves your symptoms.
Istanbul, KüçükçekmeceAges 22–65 - NCT07476976Enrolling by invitation
Joint hypermobility, body awareness, and quality of life study
This study looks at how flexible joints (joint hypermobility) affect body awareness and quality of life. The goal is to learn more about these connections and suggest helpful exercises or treatments.
KaunasAges 1.7 years–8.3 years - NCT07331766Enrolling by invitation
Collaborative care for chronic pain patients
This trial tests a team-based treatment approach for people with chronic pain. You'll work with at least two pain clinic specialists to create a care plan that fits your needs.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for musculoskeletal?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 216 recruiting musculoskeletal 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 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 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.
