Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–50 - NCT03888300Recruiting
Measuring the stickiness of lung mucus in breathing problems

BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT04215679Recruiting
Virtual reality plus mental practice for stroke hand recovery
This trial tests whether “motor imagery” done with virtual reality can improve hand function after a stroke. You may benefit if you have readable Turkish and enough thinking ability to follow the program.
Bolu, MerkezAges 18–80 - NCT04552145Recruiting
Physical therapy versus surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis
This study compares physical therapy to surgery to help relieve symptoms from narrowing in the lower spine. It looks at which treatment works best for walking discomfort caused by spinal stenosis.
LillehammerAges 50–80 - NCT04695834Recruiting
Follow-up after surgery for peroneal nerve foot drop
This study follows people who have a nerve in the leg (the peroneal nerve) that is pinched, causing ongoing foot drop, to see how operative treatment affects recovery and outcomes. It may help improve understanding of what results to expect after surgery and rehabilitation.
Mechelen, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT04934462Recruiting
Non-surgical or arthroscopic treatment for hip microinstability
This study looks at treatment options that may help people with “hip microinstability,” where the hip can feel unstable or not sit perfectly. Researchers will compare non-surgical care and a minimally invasive surgery option to see what works best and why it helps.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05464498Recruiting
Collagen device plus physiotherapy for Achilles tendon pain
This trial tests a collagen-based medical device used along with physical therapy to see if it helps people with Achilles tendon pain heal and improve function. You may be a good candidate if your symptoms are recent and the tendon problem is confirmed by ultrasound.
Roma, ROAges 18–70 - NCT05527080Recruiting
Study brain and movement development in healthy infants
This study looks at how infants’ movement (motility) and early thinking (cognition) develop over time. It may help researchers better understand normal development in healthy babies.
HelsinkiAges 5 months–2.2 years - NCT05589064Recruiting
Diet and nutrition program for lingering concussion symptoms
This study tests whether a dietary and nutrition intervention can improve symptoms that linger after a concussion. It may help people whose post-concussion symptoms have lasted a short to medium time (at least 2 weeks).
Moncton, New BrunswickAges 16 years+ - NCT05741775RecruitingPhase 3
Physiotherapy program for migraine symptoms
This trial tests whether a physiotherapy treatment can reduce migraine symptoms. You may be eligible if you have likely migraine headaches and meet the trial’s symptom screening rules.
Kajang, SelangorAges 18–40 - NCT05816798RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Laser treatment to reduce chronic knee pain before weight-surgery
This trial tests whether photobiomodulation (a type of laser/light therapy) can reduce chronic pain in both knees for people preparing for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. If you have knee pain that limits daily life, the treatment may help you feel better while you’re in the pre-surgery rehabilitation period.
Goiânia, GoiásAges 18–70 - NCT05865314Recruiting
Nutrition plus early therapy for adults in long ICU stays
This trial studies whether a planned nutrition plan, along with early physiotherapy (physical therapy), can improve outcomes for adults who expect to stay in the ICU for at least 7 days. It includes people who need feeding through a tube and/or special IV nutrition while on a breathing machine.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT05906056Recruiting
CPM therapy vs bone overgrowth in hip or knee
This study compares continuous passive motion (a machine that gently moves a joint without you moving it) versus the body’s tendency to form extra bone called heterotopic ossification. It aims to see whether CPM can affect how and how much bone overgrowth develops after neurologic injuries like stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury.
Ioannina, EpirusAges 15–70 - NCT05921175Recruiting
Stimulation and robotic walking training for incomplete spinal injuries
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal area plus robotic gait training can improve walking function in people with a traumatic spinal cord injury who are not walking independently. It’s meant for people with incomplete injuries where some nerve signals still work, and who can safely use the robotic exoskeleton.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–65 - NCT06052280Recruiting
Parkinson's physical therapy: in clinic vs. at home
This study compares in-person physical therapy with a home exercise program you can do using a computer or tablet. It aims to see if remote therapy works as well as coming to the clinic, which could make it easier for you to get the help you need.
CuneoAges 18 years+ - NCT06113614Recruiting
Light Therapy After Shoulder Fracture Surgery
This study tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) applied after surgery helps people recover better from a shoulder fracture. It is for adults aged 18–65 who have a specific type of humerus fracture that needs surgery with a plate and screws.
São PauloAges 18–65 - NCT06206200Recruiting
Thinking and moving after ACL surgery

- How do I know if I qualify for a physiotherapy 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 physiotherapy 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.
