Recruiting studies
- NCT06240013Recruiting
Foam rolling vs. stretching for muscle recovery
This study compares two simple ways to help muscles stretch and recover: foam rolling (using a foam cylinder to massage muscles) and a stretching technique called PNF (contracting and relaxing muscles). It looks at how these methods affect flexibility and muscle function in amateur athletes.

Physical therapy for arm and hand function in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests two types of physical therapy to help children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy improve the use of their arms and hands. The treatments focus on stretching and coordination exercises, and they may help your child with daily activities.
Mansehra, KPKAges 6–12 - NCT06459388Recruiting
Balance training methods for stroke recovery
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises to help stroke survivors improve balance and walking. One method uses arm and leg movements, while the other focuses on the pelvis area.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–65 - NCT06658236Recruiting
Arm and breathing exercises for cerebral palsy
This study tests two types of exercises: one that uses guided arm and shoulder movements (called PNF) and another that focuses on deep breathing (chest expansion). The goal is to see if these exercises can help children with cerebral palsy move their arms better and breathe more easily.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges Any age - NCT06674590Recruiting

This trial tests a type of physical therapy called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help reduce pain and improve how well your knee works.
Karachi, SindhAges 40–60 - NCT03171012Recruiting
Exercise rehab with added movement retraining after stroke
This trial tests whether adding a specific movement-retraining method (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) to heart-and-lung style exercise improves recovery after stroke. It focuses on people who still have one-sided weakness and can already walk a short distance.
Recife, PernambucoAges 21–65 - NCT07576127Recruiting
Gongs Mobilization and Stretching for Frozen Shoulder
This study tests two hands-on treatment techniques—gongs mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (a type of guided stretching)—to help reduce stiffness and improve movement in frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder causes pain and loss of motion in the shoulder joint; this trial aims to see if these treatments can help restore function.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07588087Recruiting
Shoulder Release Therapy for Frozen Shoulder Pain
This study tests whether adding a specific muscle-release technique to shoulder exercises helps reduce pain and improve movement in frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Frozen shoulder causes stiffness and pain that limits arm movement; this trial explores whether combining two physical therapy methods works better than standard care.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 35–70 - NCT07616622Enrolling by invitation
Recovery Methods for Upper Arm Weakness After Stroke
This study compares two physical therapy approaches—Roods (a sensory-based technique) and PNF (a stretching and strengthening method)—to help improve arm function in people recovering from their first stroke. Both methods aim to help you regain strength and control in your upper arm and hand.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07758543Recruiting
Facial exercises for improving symmetry in Bell's palsy
This trial tests whether special facial exercises can help people with Bell's palsy regain a more symmetrical face. The exercises focus on muscle control and nerve movement, and may improve recovery when done in the early months.
IslamabadAges 15–60 - NCT07148466Recruiting
Shoulder and arm exercises for stroke with shoulder blade issues
This trial tests if specific shoulder and arm exercises can improve movement and walking in people who had a stroke and have shoulder blade problems. It may help if you have some muscle tightness but can still follow instructions.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–65 - NCT07244042Recruiting
Modified arm therapy for children recovering from stroke
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy for children who have had a stroke. It tests whether adding special movement exercises to a commonly used therapy helps improve arm function better than the therapy alone.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 5–13 - NCT06656156Recruiting
Stretching technique for chronic low back pain relief
This trial tests a physical therapy stretching method called PNF on the hip and hamstring muscles to see if it reduces chronic low back pain. It may help if you have had non-specific low back pain for over 3 months with tightness in your hips or legs.
Karachi, SindhAges 15–40 - NCT06747741Recruiting
Stretching vs. physical therapy for restless leg syndrome in seniors
This study compares a special stretching technique (PNF) with standard physical therapy to see which better relieves restless leg syndrome symptoms in people aged 60 and older. It may help reduce the uncomfortable urge to move your legs at night.
IslamabadAges 60 years+ - NCT07014696Recruiting
Taping and exercise for hand function after stroke
This trial tests two rehabilitation methods - special exercise (PNF) and elastic taping - to see which one helps improve hand function in people who have weakness on one side of the body after a stroke. The goal is to find a better way to regain hand movement and daily use.
Istanbul, BahçeşirAges 18 years+ - NCT07090356Recruiting
Soft tissue therapy versus stretching for athletes with piriformis syndrome
This study compares two techniques—instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and PNF stretching—to see which works better for reducing pain and improving movement in athletes with piriformis syndrome. It may help if you are an athlete with ongoing buttock or hip pain that makes sitting uncomfortable.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–35 - NCT07332845Recruiting
Neck and hamstring therapy for chronic pain

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 25 recruiting proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation 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 proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation 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 proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation 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.
