This study tests an “adaptive” exercise plan that adjusts over time to help improve aerobic fitness and your body’s fitness response in people with mild memory problems or early Alzheimer’s. It may help you safely build the kind of fitness that supports brain health, while researchers monitor changes with fitness testing and blood work.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 65 years+ - NCT05926596Recruiting
Leg stretching with an on-demand exoskeleton for spasticity
This trial studies whether a wearable exoskeleton that helps with leg stretching can reduce stiffness and improve movement in people with spasticity after a spinal cord injury. It may help you stretch more safely and comfortably, but you must meet specific health and device-wear requirements.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06213272Recruiting

West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–85 - NCT06420752RecruitingPhase 2
Passive stretching for peripheral artery disease
This study tests whether gentle leg stretching, done by a therapist, can improve blood flow and walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries). It may be an option for those who cannot do regular exercise.
La Crosse, WisconsinAges 40–90 - NCT06495190Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stretching?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 122 recruiting stretching 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 stretching 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 stretching 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.
