Virtual reality to improve arm function after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a virtual reality program that creates a feeling of body ownership can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have an incomplete spinal cord injury in the neck. It aims to find a new, engaging way to boost recovery.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18–99 - NCT05134142Recruiting
Quality of life after hemipelvectomy for pelvic tumors
This study looks at how people with pelvic tumors feel and function after a hemipelvectomy (surgery removing part of the hip/pelvis). It aims to better understand recovery and day-to-day quality of life after this operation.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT07328126Recruiting
Muscle energy technique for low back pain relief
This trial tests a gentle muscle stretching method (muscle energy technique) on the latissimus dorsi muscle to see if it reduces pain, improves daily function, and increases spine movement in people with long-term low back pain.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–55 - NCT06133244Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for physical function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 188 recruiting physical function 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 physical function 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 physical function 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.
