Recruiting studies
- NCT03452202Recruiting

Rehab study for arm weakness after stroke
This study tests a rehabilitation approach to help people recover arm movement after an ischemic or bleeding stroke. You may be able to join if you’re currently an inpatient in the stroke neurology unit and have arm weakness but are medically stable and able to follow simple instructions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT03582917RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin D during rehabilitation for teen scoliosis
This study looks at whether vitamin D affects recovery during rehab for teens with idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways spine curve without a known cause). It may help the rehab process by improving vitamin D–related factors in growing teens.
AsvestochóriAges 10–18 - NCT03610763Recruiting
Training brain recovery after arm nerve repair
This study tests a way to help your brain and nerves work better after an arm/hand nerve repair that is already in the long-term (chronic) recovery stage. It may help improve hand and arm function by targeting “neuroplasticity,” meaning the brain’s ability to adapt after injury.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT03663361Recruiting
Ankle rehab plan for a new ankle sprain
This trial studies a rehabilitation approach to improve outcomes for a fresh ankle sprain (Grade I–III) started within the first 72 hours. It may help you recover faster and better, but it also has safety exclusions related to seizures and certain implanted devices.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–44 - NCT03824106Recruiting
Frailty rehab program for older adults at YMCA
This trial studies a rehabilitation (rehab) program to help older adults who are at risk of losing mobility and independence. You may be offered group-based rehab at the YMCA if you meet age, mobility, safety, and participation requirements.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT03857529Recruiting
Rehab training for stroke arm control using brain and hand stimulation
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT03949400Recruiting
Exercise therapy and a soft knee brace for knee arthritis
This study tests whether an exercise program plus education, along with a soft brace, helps improve symptoms and function in adults with knee osteoarthritis. It may help people who have knee pain by combining movement training with daily support.
Aalborg, NothernAges 18 years+ - NCT03974750Recruiting
Robotics training for arm skills after stroke
This study tests whether a robotic training program can help people relearn arm and hand skills after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to compare learning and movement changes.
Yvoir, NamurAges 18–90 - NCT03981471Recruiting
Fall prevention program for older adults who can walk
This study looks at how to reduce falls in older adults living in the community by testing fall-prevention strategies and what helps them most. You may be able to join if you can walk safely for testing and can follow the study instructions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT03987334Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab for chronic neck pain
This trial studies whether virtual reality exercises can help reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic neck pain or whiplash. You may be invited to take part in guided VR rehab sessions if you meet the safety and health requirements.
Milan, MIAges 18–70 - NCT03995238Recruiting
Gait training for veterans with leg amputations
This study tests a walking rehabilitation plan to improve how you walk after a lower-leg amputation. It may help if your walking steps are uneven and you have diabetes and/or circulation problems in your legs.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 40–89 - NCT07542600Recruiting
Spa therapy to help women with infertility after embryo transfer
This study tests whether spa-based rehabilitation—including thermal water treatments and relaxation therapies—may improve fertility outcomes in women who have had unsuccessful embryo transfers. Researchers hope it might help prepare the body for pregnancy.
Františkovy Lázně, Carlsbad RegionAges 20–40 - NCT07588932RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Medication and Robot Training for Stroke Arm Recovery
This study tests whether three medications (Telmisartan, Cilostazol, and Metformin) combined with robotic arm training can help people improve arm movement and strength after a chronic stroke. You would participate in supervised training sessions using a robotic rehabilitation system.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 21–80 - NCT04078373Recruiting
Rehab study of bladder problems after recent stroke
This trial looks at urinary (bladder) problems in people who are in the early recovery phase after a stroke, while they receive inpatient rehabilitation. It may help improve how bladder issues are managed during rehab after stroke.
LjubljanaAges Any age - NCT04081896Recruiting
Rehab program for adults with spine pain
This trial studies whether a prescribed physical therapy (rehab) program helps people with spine pain. It may help by improving pain and function when a clinician has already recommended rehabilitation.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–89 - NCT04092504Recruiting
Recovery program for older adults after physical trauma
This study looks at an “optimized recovery” plan for people age 65 and older who are in the hospital because of physical trauma. It may help improve how you recover in the hospital, but you must be able to communicate and not be receiving palliative (comfort-focused) care.
GothenburgAges 65 years+ - NCT04190134RecruitingPhase 1
Robot training to help you use a reading magnifier
This study tests a “socially assistive robot” that coaches and supports you in using your reading magnifier. It may help you use the device more easily and comfortably for reading tasks.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04206215Recruiting
Noninvasive brain stimulation for carpal tunnel pain relief
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can reduce chronic carpal tunnel (CTS) pain, especially when pain spreads beyond the usual nerve area. If you have long-lasting CTS pain that hasn’t improved with standard treatments, you may be able to try this therapy while being closely monitored for safety.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT04229056Recruiting
Computer training to improve thinking and planning after stroke or Parkinson’s
This trial tests computer-based “self-training” to improve executive function, such as working memory—your ability to hold and use information in mind. It’s for adults with a prior stroke, cardiac arrest, or Parkinson’s disease who have trouble on a specific working-memory task.
CopenhagenAges 18–100 - NCT04331392Recruiting
Online memory training for people with recent brain injury
This trial tests an online memory program for people with a recent traumatic brain injury (TBI) to help with thinking and memory. It may be useful if your injury is recent and you can safely do MRI scanning.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–55 - NCT04477330Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for rehabilitation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,161 recruiting rehabilitation 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 rehabilitation 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 rehabilitation 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.
