Breathing exercises to improve lung function after neck spinal cord injury
This study tests whether special breathing exercises using a handheld device can help people recover lung strength after a recent cervical (neck-level) spinal cord injury. The exercises are done during in-patient rehabilitation and may help you breathe better and improve your overall recovery.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–38 - NCT06444945Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two hands-on therapies for knee osteoarthritis
This study compares two hands-on therapy techniques (Mulligan and Kaltenborn mobilizations) to see which works better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have mild to moderate knee pain and are between 40 and 70, this trial may help you find a gentler treatment option.
IslamabadAges 40–70 - NCT04812314Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for resistance exercise?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 180 recruiting resistance exercise 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 resistance exercise 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 resistance exercise 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.
