Muscle stimulation, exercise, and blood sugar control in older adults with type 2 diabetes
This study tests if combining electrical muscle stimulation with exercise can help older adults with type 2 diabetes living in nursing homes better manage their blood sugar. Participants will receive supervised sessions over several weeks.
Viseu, Viseu DistrictAges 60 years+ - NCT07646405Recruiting
Electrical stimulation and light resistance training for older adults' muscles
This study tests whether combining electrical muscle stimulation (a gentle electrical current applied to muscles) with light resistance exercises can help adults over 65 build stronger leg muscles and improve their ability to walk and move around.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 65–85 - NCT06009978Recruiting
Added muscle stimulation after Achilles tendon rupture
This trial tests whether adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to standard care helps people recover better after an Achilles tendon rupture. It might improve strength and function in the leg.
Mölndal, VGregionAges 18–65 - NCT07550647Recruiting
Early Rehab Program After Hip Replacement Surgery
This study tests a rehabilitation program that starts soon after hip replacement surgery for arthritis or hip developmental issues. The program uses telehealth (video calls) to help you recover strength and mobility at home.
Niğde, MerkezAges 50–75 - NCT06953375Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for faster recovery after knee replacement
This study tests if adding a gentle electrical stimulation (called NMES) to standard physical therapy helps people recover strength faster after knee replacement surgery. It is for patients who go to specific UCHealth or Intermountain Health therapy clinics after their first total knee replacement.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07538102Recruiting
Breathing Exercises for Ventilated ICU Patients
This study tests whether specialized breathing exercises can help strengthen the breathing muscle (diaphragm) in patients on breathing machines in the ICU. Researchers will measure changes in the diaphragm's thickness and function.
Çorum, CentreAges 18 years+ - NCT03201094Recruiting
NMES and whey protein for recovery after aneurysmal brain bleed
This pilot study tests whether a therapy that gently stimulates nerves (NMES) and a whey-protein supplement (HPRO) can improve recovery after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a type of bleeding around the brain. Participants are usually treated soon after the bleed and stay in the ICU long enough for the study measures.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05919940Recruiting
Testing a muscle stimulation and extra protein plan in ICU patients
This trial tests whether electrical muscle stimulation plus extra protein (protein substitute) can improve muscle health and metabolism in critically ill adults in the ICU. If you’re newly admitted and expected to stay on a breathing machine for several days, it may help you keep more muscle strength during recovery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06370325Recruiting
Electrical stimulation after ankle fracture surgery
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device placed on the skin around the ankle can help recovery after ankle fracture surgery. It may reduce pain, swelling, and healing time.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT06828679Recruiting
AI system to improve arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether an AI-powered system can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago. It uses electrical stimulation to activate muscles and may lead to better recovery.
Hong Kong, Sha TinAges 65–80 - NCT07099911Recruiting
Electrical stimulation and blood sugar control after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a type of electrical stimulation on leg muscles can help control blood sugar levels in people with spinal cord injury. It compares results to those without injury to see if this treatment might improve health.
Bath, United KingdomAges 18 years+ - NCT07311018Recruiting
Electrical stimulation and motion games for hand function in cerebral palsy
This study tests whether combining electrical stimulation (a gentle muscle zapping) with fun hand exercises using a motion-sensor game can improve hand and wrist movement in children with cerebral palsy. It is designed for children who can move their arms and hands with some difficulty but are not too severely limited.
Istanbul, BeykozAges 6–15 - NCT07492719Recruiting
Swallowing exercises with visual feedback after stroke

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neuromuscular electrical stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 61 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.
