Houston, TexasAges 40 years+ - NCT07438223Recruiting
Brain gym exercises for balance in children with spastic diplegia
This study tests whether simple 'brain gym' exercises can help children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy) improve their balance and quality of life. It could be a good option if you have mild muscle stiffness and are between 6 and 8 years old.
Cairo, Faculty of Physical TherapyAges 6–8 - NCT06550284Recruiting
Nerve sensitivity in carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests how small nerve fibers work in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It uses simple sensory tests to understand nerve function, which may help guide treatment.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06791798Recruiting
Breathing treatments for patients on ventilators
This study tests two breathing treatments—ventilator hyperinflation and chest vibration—to see which works better for clearing mucus and improving lung function in people who have been on a breathing machine for 2 to 7 days.
CairoAges 35–55 - NCT07404397RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Treatments for chronic pelvic pain with high muscle tone
This study compares two treatments for chronic pelvic pain caused by tight pelvic floor muscles: a daily muscle relaxant pill (cyclobenzaprine) or a vibrating massage wand. The goal is to see which works better alongside pelvic floor physical therapy.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–65 - NCT06676332Recruiting
Training to improve movement and coordination in children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests whether a special training that combines mental imagery and sensory activities can improve muscle strength and coordination in children who have tight muscles in their legs. It is for children who can walk on their own or with some help.
CairoAges 8–12 - NCT05702138RecruitingPhase 2
High-intensity walking training for recent brain injury
This Phase 2 study tests whether high-intensity, treadmill-based step training can improve walking after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help people who are still having trouble with walking speed and can follow instructions.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06707805Recruiting
Spinal gliding technique for lower cross syndrome
This trial tests a manual therapy technique called sustained natural apophyseal glides (gentle, sustained pressure on the spine) in people with low back pain caused by lower cross syndrome—a pattern where hip flexors and lower back muscles are tight while abs and buttock muscles are weak. If you have lower back pain with a forward-tilted pelvis and meet the age and muscle tightness/weakness criteria, this study may be for you.
Kotli, Azad KashmirAges 30–50 - NCT07368582Recruiting

Core exercise for neck nerve pain
This study tests whether core stabilization exercises (exercises to strengthen your trunk and back) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck that causes arm pain and numbness). If you're between 35 and 50, have had neck pain for over six weeks, and your symptoms fit, you may be eligible.
GizaAges 35–50 - NCT07346755Recruiting
Nerve block and shoulder awareness in stroke-related pain
This study tests whether a nerve block (freezing a nerve near the shoulder) combined with joint position testing can reduce shoulder pain and improve movement in people who have had a stroke.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT07337226Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation and treadmill training for Parkinson's walking
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation on the ear (called taVNS) combined with treadmill walking can improve walking ability in people newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if this combination helps you walk better and more safely.
Roma, RMAges 50–80 - NCT07335133Recruiting
Recovery from ankle arthroscopy surgery
This trial studies how patients recover after ankle arthroscopy (a minimally invasive surgery to look inside the ankle joint). It may help doctors learn what to expect during recovery.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07332897Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for physical therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 324 recruiting physical therapy 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 therapy 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 therapy 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.
