Wearable device and coaching to improve arm use after stroke
This study tests whether a wearable device that tracks arm movement, plus coaching to use your weaker arm more, can help you recover better after a stroke. It's for people who are at least 6 months past their stroke and have some arm weakness but can still use their hand.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18–84 - NCT04773691Recruiting
High-frequency brain stimulation to help cut alcohol use
This trial tests whether high-frequency rTMS (a non-surgical brain stimulation) can reduce how much alcohol you drink. It targets people with alcohol use disorder who are not fully stopping, and who want to cut down after a past relapse or failed withdrawal attempt.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05007379Recruiting
Testing new immune cells on breast cancer samples in the lab
This trial studies whether newly made immune cells (“CAR-macrophages”) can attack breast cancer when tested on your tumor samples grown in the lab (“organoids”). If you need surgery or a tumor biopsy as part of your usual care, your sample may be used to test this approach.
LilleAges 18–100 - NCT05475600Recruiting
Biofeedback and relaxation for ICU patients with blood cancers
This trial tests whether guided biofeedback and relaxation techniques can help people with blood cancers while they are in the ICU. It may improve comfort and stress during critical illness, compared with standard care.
MetzAges 18–75 - NCT05953584RecruitingPhase 2
Etavopivat for preventing stroke risk in sickle cell children
This trial studies etavopivat to see if it can improve blood-flow measurements in the brain that predict future stroke risk in children with sickle cell disease. If you qualify, you would take the study medicine and be monitored with brain blood-flow testing.
Raipur, ChhattisgarhAges 12–16 - NCT06081062RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Fabagal in people with Fabry disease
This trial is testing a new enzyme replacement therapy called Fabagal for people with Fabry disease who have not had prior treatment. It aims to see if it helps with kidney, heart, or brain problems caused by the disease.
ManilaAges 8 years+ - NCT06159335RecruitingPhase 3
PET/MR scan for brain metastasis imaging
This trial uses a special PET/MR scan with a radioactive tracer to help tell the difference between tumor regrowth and changes from radiation treatment in people with brain metastases. It may help doctors make better treatment decisions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for patient activation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 439 recruiting patient activation 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 patient activation 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 patient activation 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.
