Pain relief during brace removal with TENS or vibration
This study tests two drug-free methods—gentle electrical stimulation (TENS) and high-frequency vibration—to see if they can reduce pain when braces are removed.
BaghdadAges 15–35 - NCT07079215Recruiting
Device trial for opioid withdrawal symptoms
This trial tests a physical device (ADTPM 1) to help manage withdrawal symptoms in people who are dependent on opioids. The goal is to see if the device can safely reduce withdrawal discomfort.
Daegu, DaeguAges 19–80 - NCT07289191Recruiting
Spinal current stimulation for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18–75 - NCT06708572Recruiting
GCSF after Kasai surgery for biliary atresia
This study tests a medicine called GCSF (helps make white blood cells) in babies who have had Kasai surgery for biliary atresia. It aims to see if GCSF can improve liver function and overall outcomes.
Cairo, Menofia GovernorateAges 3 weeks–1 year - NCT05664412Recruiting
Brain stimulation trial to improve thinking in 22q11.2 deletion
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation approach to help improve executive function—skills like planning, attention, and self-control—in people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. If you qualify, you would be asked to participate and allow study procedures to see whether this treatment helps.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 14–25 - NCT06658769Recruiting
Brain stimulation to prevent confusion after surgery in older adults
This study tests if transcranial magnetic stimulation (a gentle brain stimulation) can help prevent or reduce confusion or memory problems after major surgery in people over 60. If you already have mild memory issues, this might help protect your thinking skills.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 60–120 - NCT07652944Recruiting
Magnetic field therapy for chronic lower back pain
This trial tests whether magnetic fields applied to your back can relieve chronic lower back pain that has lasted at least 12 weeks. It's for people aged 18 to 64 who are willing to attend all study visits.
Edwards Air Force Base, CaliforniaAges 18–64 - NCT06930716Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation with physical therapy for consciousness disorders
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (a nerve in the neck) can help people with long-term disorders of consciousness move better during physical therapy. It may be an option if you are still in a coma, vegetative, or minimally conscious state and have been stable for more than 6 weeks.
New York, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT07680842Recruiting
Non-invasive ultrasound for drug-resistant epilepsy
This study tests a non-invasive focused ultrasound treatment for people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to medications. The goal is to see if this gentle ultrasound can reduce seizures without surgery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21–65 - NCT06458166Recruiting
Youth soccer fatigue and jump performance study

Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06545877Recruiting
Survey of REKOVELLE for fertility treatment
This survey collects information from people who have already used REKOVELLE (a medication that helps the ovaries produce eggs) as part of their fertility treatment. Taking part will help researchers learn how the medication works in real-world daily practice.
Omitama, IbarakiAges Any age - NCT04773691Recruiting
High-frequency brain stimulation to help cut alcohol use
This trial tests whether high-frequency rTMS (a non-surgical brain stimulation) can reduce how much alcohol you drink. It targets people with alcohol use disorder who are not fully stopping, and who want to cut down after a past relapse or failed withdrawal attempt.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05401929Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stimulant use?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 171 recruiting stimulant use 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 stimulant use 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 stimulant use 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.
