Exoskeleton walking training for children and young adults
This trial tests whether a robotic leg exoskeleton can help improve walking in children and young adults with certain conditions (like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, or spinal cord injury) or those with no walking issues. The goal is to find out if the exoskeleton is safe and effective for everyday use, especially in younger people who might lose the ability to walk as they get older.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–25 - NCT06848660Recruiting
Neck brace study for stable fractures
This study tests if a neck brace (orthosis) works well for treating stable neck fractures without surgery. It may be an option if you have a recent, mild neck break and are healthy enough for non-surgical care.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05240014Recruiting
Powered leg braces to help people move more easily
This study tests modular powered leg braces (orthoses) to improve voluntary movement and walking ability in adult participants. It may help you learn whether the braces are safe and useful for your kind of mobility and daily movement.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–85 - NCT06737601Enrolling by invitation
Shockwave or splint for trigger finger
This study compares two treatments for trigger finger: a special hand splint and shockwave therapy (a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to help the finger move smoothly). Researchers want to see which works better.
BariAges 18 years+ - NCT06645054Recruiting
Testing a smart hallway system in clinics
This trial tests a smart hallway system that may help monitor walking. It is for people who can walk a short distance on their own, have no major memory or thinking problems, and speak Slovenian.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT06622655Recruiting
Home use of Agilik for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests if using a device called Agilik at home can help children with cerebral palsy who have a crouched walking pattern. Crouch gait is when knees stay bent while walking, and the Agilik may help improve movement.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 5–17 - NCT06267469Recruiting
Splints for thumb deformity in rheumatoid arthritis
This study tests whether a custom-made plastic splint or a fabric splint works better for a specific thumb deformity (boutonniere deformity) in women with rheumatoid arthritis. The goal is to see which type of splint helps straighten the thumb and improve function.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–65 - NCT06487910Recruiting
3D-printed pressure garment for burn scars
This trial tests a custom 3D-printed pressure garment for healing burn scars that have become thick and raised. The goal is to see if it helps the scars heal better.
MetzAges 18 years+ - NCT06234124Recruiting
A shoe to improve walking after stroke
This study tests a special shoe that changes friction to help improve walking for people who have had a stroke. It lasts 6 months and involves daily exercises at home.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06127316Recruiting
Heel lift height and foot pressure with custom braces
This study tests if changing the height of a heel lift in a custom foot brace can improve how weight is distributed on your foot after a serious ankle or hindfoot injury. If you have pain when walking, this could help find better ways to reduce that pain.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–65 - NCT05917678Recruiting
Compare head-shape treatments for infants with flat spots
This study looks at whether repositioning and a custom head-shaping helmet help improve head shape in babies who have cranial deformation. You may be asked to follow standard care and have your baby monitored for changes over time.

Conservative care for trigger finger after steroid shots
This study looks at non-surgical (conservative) treatment options for trigger finger after you’ve already had a cortisone shot in the affected finger(s). It may help determine what approach works best to reduce symptoms without more invasive procedures.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT05644522Recruiting
At-home brace study for leg support and walking
This study tests an at-home wearable activity monitor and brace-related walking support for people who already use a knee-ankle-foot brace. It may help researchers understand how brace use and day-to-day movement relate to walking ability.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–89 - NCT03935295RecruitingPhase 4
Dysport with a brace for teens with specific scoliosis curves
This trial studies whether adding Dysport (a botulinum toxin shot) to standard bracing can improve scoliosis in teens. It’s mainly for certain curve patterns and requires careful brace follow-through.

Active hand brace study for C6–C7 spinal cord injury
This trial tests an active hand brace designed to help people with C6–C7 spinal cord injury improve hand and finger movement. It may help with daily hand use by training and supporting weaker motor control after injury.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05296408Recruiting
Arm exoskeleton rehab for chronic stroke weakness
This trial tests a wearable arm exoskeleton that uses your muscle signals to help rehab a weak arm after stroke. It may help improve arm movement by pairing training with this device, but you must meet specific movement, skin, and scan-safety requirements.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–89 - NCT05154253RecruitingPhase 1
Improving ankle push-off in children with cerebral palsy
This early (Phase 1) study tests a way to improve how well the ankle muscles help you push off when walking in cerebral palsy. If the ankle function improves, it may lead to a more comfortable and safer walking pattern.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for orthosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 48 recruiting orthosis 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 orthosis 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 orthosis 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.
