El Paso, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05536531Recruiting
NMES therapy to help prevent ICU muscle weakness
This trial tests whether a device that delivers small electrical pulses to muscles can help prevent breathing and muscle weakness in very sick ICU patients. It also looks at changes in blood markers that may relate to muscle weakness and recovery.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 18 years+ - NCT05908214Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for leg stiffness and overactive nerves
This study tests a treatment using high-frequency electrical stimulation to reduce overactive nerve signals that can cause stiff legs, poor ankle control, cramps, or restless legs. It may help improve movement and comfort during walking or at night, depending on the condition.
LausanneAges 18 years+ - NCT06011018Recruiting
Mirror Therapy with Electrical Stimulation or Sound Beats after Stroke
This study tests if combining mirror therapy with either gentle electrical stimulation or special sound beats can help improve leg movement and brain activity after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke at least 6 months ago and have some movement in their leg.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–80 - NCT06302946Recruiting
Brain therapy with electrical stimulation and mindfulness for stroke patients
This study tests if combining neuromuscular electrical stimulation (gentle muscle zaps) with mindfulness exercises helps stroke patients recover better. It aims to improve movement and well-being.
Cairo, DokkiAges 50–65 - NCT06316349Recruiting
Leg exercises and electrical stimulation for balloon pump patients
This study tests if leg exercises and mild electrical stimulation can help people who have a balloon pump in their leg artery. It aims to see if these treatments improve strength and recovery while the pump is in place.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06554106Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for fibromyalgia pain
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation therapy can reduce pain and improve daily life in people with fibromyalgia. It aims to offer a drug-free option to manage symptoms.
ElâzığAges 18–65 - NCT06127602Recruiting
Electrical stimulation plus walking for stroke recovery
This study tests whether adding a type of electrical stimulation to leg muscles during walking can improve walking ability for people who are at least 6 months past a stroke. If you have weakness on one side and can walk on a treadmill with some help, you may be able to join.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT06722391Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to improve metabolism in overweight adults
This study tests whether a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment can help improve metabolism in people who are overweight and inactive. It may be an option for those who do not exercise regularly.
El Paso, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06887855Recruiting
Swallowing therapy for recent stroke patients
This trial tests two new exercises for people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. If you had a stroke within the last six months and haven't tried swallowing therapy before, this may help you regain strength in your throat muscles.
Doha, Baladiyat ad DawhahAges 18–75 - NCT06964438Recruiting
Post-surgery electrical muscle stimulation study for colorectal or stomach cancer
This trial tests if using a mild electrical device on your legs after surgery can help you recover faster. It is for people with colorectal or stomach cancer who are having curative abdominal surgery.
Derby, DerbyshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07076797Recruiting
Exercise and electrical stimulation for older women's legs

Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 65–84 - NCT07112911Recruiting
Electrical stimulation with robot for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation with a robotic device can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good option if you have some movement in your arm but not full strength.
Hong KongAges 25–70 - NCT07161648Recruiting
Can electrical stimulation prevent exercise resistance?
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to your muscles can help prevent a common problem where exercise becomes less effective over time. You will be asked to jog or run on a treadmill and follow some simple rules about caffeine and alcohol.
Fort Collins, ColoradoAges 18–40 - NCT07190599Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neuromuscular electrical stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 62 recruiting neuromuscular electrical stimulation 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 neuromuscular electrical stimulation 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 neuromuscular electrical stimulation 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.
