- NCT07098572Recruiting
Comparing two types of electrical stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a four-channel electrical stimulation device works better than a standard one-channel device for improving arm and hand movement in people who recently had a stroke. The goal is to help with recovery of daily activities.
Hermagor, CarinthiaAges 18–99 - NCT07763522Enrolling by invitation
Measuring ankle strength in people with herniated disc weakness
This study tests a new way to measure ankle strength in people who have weakness from a herniated disc in the lower back. The goal is to confirm the measurement tool works well for tracking such weakness.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–65 - NCT04755699RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Electrical stimulation study for hand or limb movement recovery
This early-stage study tests whether regular, skin-based electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis or weakness regain movement. You would attend frequent clinic sessions for months, while the team checks your ability to follow instructions and your safety.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT06828653Recruiting
Comparing 3D-printed vs standard ankle braces for walking
This study compares custom-made ankle-foot braces made with a digital 3D printing method versus the traditional plaster cast method. It aims to find out which type is more comfortable and effective for people with conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, or spinal cord injury who need a brace to help them walk better.
Mississauga, OntarioAges 8 years+ - NCT05701280Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation plus rehab after stroke
This trial looks at whether adding deep brain stimulation (a surgically placed device that delivers therapy signals) to rehab can improve arm function after a stroke. It is aimed at people whose stroke happened 12 months to 6 years ago and who still have arm weakness or poor control.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT03059420Recruiting
Genetic study of strabismus and certain birth eye-movement disorders
This study looks for genetic (inherited DNA) causes of strabismus (eyes that don’t line up) and certain birth conditions that affect eye movement and brainstem/cranial nerves. Your participation may help researchers better understand these conditions and guide future testing and care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 day+ - NCT05492513Recruiting
Constraint therapy for adults with mild arm weakness after stroke
This study tests a therapy that focuses on using your weaker arm more after a stroke by “constraining” the better arm during training. It may help improve how you move and use your hand and wrist in daily life if you still have mild movement and can participate in clinic sessions.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05515237Recruiting
Therapy to improve arm use after stroke
This study tests a therapy plan that focuses on using your more-affected arm more often after stroke, plus added sensory activities. It may help improve how well you can move and use that arm in daily life.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–89 - NCT05638191Recruiting
Nerve transfer surgery for arm grasp after neck spinal cord injury
This study looks at whether nerve transfer surgery can help restore hand grasp function after a neck (cervical) spinal cord injury. You may be eligible if your injury is recent and you meet specific strength patterns and can commit to rehabilitation after surgery.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18–70 - NCT05649930Recruiting
Power training for tight calf muscles in children with spastic paresis
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program that strengthens leg muscle power can improve calf muscle length and strength in children with spastic paresis (stiffness from the brain or nerves). If it works, it may help children move more easily and build stronger calves.
AmsterdamAges 4–18 - NCT05866003Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus hand training after stroke
This trial tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and structured hand practice can improve hand movement for people recovering from stroke. It may help because the training targets upper-limb function while using therapy intended to support recovery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21–90 - NCT06152328Recruiting
Virtual reality mirror therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether virtual reality mirror therapy can help people recover arm movement after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke a few months ago and still have some arm weakness.
Bolu, MerkezAges 40–80 - NCT06282406Recruiting
Brain stimulation guided by pupil size for hand recovery after stroke
This study tests a noninvasive (no surgery) brain stimulation technique guided by your pupil size to help improve hand function after a stroke. It is for people who had a single stroke at least 6 months ago and still have hand weakness.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT06406725Recruiting
Detecting vocal cord issues with noninvasive breathing test
This study tests whether a noninvasive breathing support device can detect vocal cord movement problems in children who had heart or airway surgery. It may avoid the need for a scope test.
Queens, New YorkAges 1 day–18 years - NCT06409754Recruiting
Brain-computer interface for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps move your arm using electrical stimulation. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have lasting weakness in one arm.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06574737Recruiting
Can muscle signals predict arm recovery after stroke?
This study tests whether a simple muscle signal test (called surface EMG) can predict how well your arm will recover after a stroke. It involves placing small stickers on your skin to measure muscle activity while you try to move your affected arm.
Bandung, West JavaAges 18 years+ - NCT06575140Recruiting
Stroke recovery arm stimulation study
This study tests a noninvasive stimulation technique to help improve arm movement in people who recently had a stroke. It is for those who still have some ability to move their fingers but have significant weakness on one side.
Mexico CityAges 18–79 - NCT06722677Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation plus rehab for arm strength after stroke
This trial tests whether pairing vagus nerve stimulation with rehabilitation exercises can improve arm function after a stroke. It may help if your stroke was from a clot and you still have weakness in one arm.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 22–80 - NCT07288385Recruiting
Virtual reality and brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests if using virtual reality along with mild brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who are at least three months past their stroke and have moderate arm weakness.
RiyadhAges 18 years+ - NCT07413302Recruiting
Predicting recovery after back surgery for leg weakness
This study looks at which factors before surgery help predict how well leg weakness improves after a single-level microdiskectomy (minimally invasive back surgery for a slipped disk). It may help you understand what to expect if you are having this procedure.
KavalaAges 18 years+ - NCT07598435Recruiting
Arm Recovery Exercises After Stroke: Two Training Methods Compared
This study tests two different physical therapy approaches to help improve arm movement and function in people recovering from stroke. You'll participate in therapy sessions using either rhythmic initiation (guided movement exercises) or isometric training (muscle-tightening exercises) to see which helps your arm recover better.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT04534556Enrolling by invitation
Wireless nerve stimulation to improve stroke recovery
This study tests a wireless nerve stimulation device placed near the vagus nerve to help people recover after a stroke. It focuses on people with specific remaining arm/hand movement and recovery levels at least 12 months after stroke.
Dallas, TexasAges 22–79

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for paresis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 22 recruiting paresis 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 paresis 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 paresis 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.
