Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06859866Recruiting
Light therapy for gum disease around dental implants
This trial tests whether a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy) you can use at home can help reduce inflammation around dental implants (peri-implant mucositis). It's designed for people with early gum problems around implants, before they get worse.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT05266898RecruitingPhase 4
HPV vaccine response study for people living with HIV
This trial studies how well the Gardasil-9 HPV vaccine triggers the body’s immune response in people living with HIV. It may help doctors understand the best way to protect against HPV-related cancers and infections in this population.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18–65 - NCT07245732RecruitingPhase 4
Steroid pills vs. shots for rheumatoid arthritis flares
This trial compares steroid pills to steroid shots for controlling sudden worsening of rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. It aims to find which method works better and is easier for you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06017817Recruiting
Light therapy for implant gum disease
This study tests a special light-activated treatment (antibacterial photodynamic therapy) to fight infection around dental implants. It may be an option for people with moderate to severe implant-related gum disease who are not smokers and do not have diabetes.
StockholmAges 18–85 - NCT07346092Recruiting
Health beliefs and social behaviors about nicotine pouches
This study looks at how graduate students at Ohio State University perceive and use oral nicotine pouches. The goal is to create better ways to communicate the addictive risks of these products.

Steroid injection vs. pill for wisdom tooth recovery
This trial compares two treatments—a steroid placed under the gum and a pill—to reduce pain, swelling, and other problems after removing a lower wisdom tooth. It is for generally healthy patients who need that surgery and haven't taken anti-inflammatory drugs recently.
Dharān, KoshiAges 18 years+ - NCT07667088Recruiting
Whitening mouthwash using oil pulling

Fitzroy, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT01365169Recruiting
How activity level and daily function relate to cancer survival
This study looks at how physical activity (movement during the day) and a clinician-rated “day-to-day function” score relate to overall survival in people with certain cancers. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from activity-focused care and better monitoring.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03511846Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Pain biomarker study for headache or back nerve pain
This study looks at measurable “pain signals” (biomarkers) in people with certain headache disorders or lumbar nerve pain, and compares them with healthy people. It may help researchers better understand what drives pain and how it can be detected.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04055428RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a hormone supplement to improve heart and metabolic health
This study tests whether adding a natriuretic peptide medicine improves heart health and metabolism in Black adults. It may help with blood pressure and related health markers, but you must meet specific health and safety criteria.

Esophageal risk and tissue registry study
This study collects information and, if you already need blood tests or procedures, may take extra small tissue samples (biopsies) to better understand esophageal-related conditions. It may help researchers learn about risk and future management for people with certain esophagus or reflux-related diagnoses.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06084520Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for oral health?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 181 recruiting oral health 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 oral health 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 oral health 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.
