Recruiting studies
- NCT04953273Recruiting

Testing better pain control and recovery after orthopedic surgery
This trial looks at how well a pain-control plan works after certain orthopedic surgeries and how it affects recovery and patient-reported outcomes. It may help determine what level of pain relief is meaningful to patients after surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT04782830Recruiting
Wearable sensor study for low blood pressure on standing
This study uses an accelerometer (a wearable motion sensor) to measure symptoms and blood pressure changes when you stand up. It may help doctors better track how neurogenic orthostatic hypotension affects you and how well current treatments are working.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 40–80 - NCT04763356Recruiting
Remote monitoring to manage nerve pain after chemotherapy
This study tests whether remote check-ins (via phone/app/website) can help manage chemotherapy-related nerve pain in the hands and feet. It enrolls adults who developed nerve symptoms after certain cancer medicines and need ongoing monitoring.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT04734106RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Aloe vera for bladder pain and frequent urination
This early-stage study tests whether aloe vera can reduce symptoms of interstitial cystitis, such as bladder pain and frequent urination. You’d help researchers check both safety and symptom relief.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT04661215Recruiting
Testing stomach opening muscle problems in people with gastroparesis
This study looks at whether abnormal function of the pyloric “stomach outlet” muscle is linked to gastroparesis symptoms (slow stomach emptying). It may help researchers better understand what causes symptoms and guide future treatments.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–85 - NCT04572321Enrolling by invitation
Teen depression and suicide research study for youth
This study looks at depression and suicidal thoughts or behaviors in children and teens. It may help researchers better understand these risks and improve supports for young people.
Dallas, TexasAges 8–20 - NCT04503785Recruiting
Tests for swallowing problems using throat pressure and impedance
This study records measurements of how your esophagus (food tube) moves and how the swallowing pathway behaves. It also uses symptom scoring to see how the test results match your swallowing symptoms, which could help improve care for people with swallowing trouble.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–99 - NCT04479696Recruiting
Video coaching to ease anxiety during brain tumor radiation
This study tests a personalized video meant to reduce stress and anxiety for people getting radiation for brain tumors, and for their caregivers. You and your caregiver would complete short questionnaires before and after using the video support.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04224974Recruiting
Engagement and symptom support for newly diagnosed acute leukemia
This trial tests an emotion- and symptom-focused way of engaging with care for people who are newly diagnosed with acute leukemia and starting intensive “induction” treatment aimed at cure. It may help you feel better supported and better able to manage distressing symptoms during a critical early phase of treatment.
Saint John, New BrunswickAges 18 years+ - NCT04226898RecruitingPhase 2
Synbiotic supplement to lessen schizophrenia symptoms
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a “synbiotic” supplement (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) can reduce symptoms of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It may help by targeting gut-related immune and inflammation pathways that could affect brain symptoms.
Batlimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT04151082RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Steroid therapy for late nerve damage after throat cancer radiation
This trial tests whether high-dose steroids (prednisone or methylprednisolone) can improve symptoms of nerve damage that may occur years after radiation treatment for oropharyngeal cancer. It includes a registry for tracking similar nerve issues in head and neck cancer survivors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04123314RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Psilocybin study for depression in mild memory or early Alzheimer’s
This early-phase study tests whether psilocybin (a psychedelic substance) can help with depression in people who have mild memory problems or early Alzheimer’s. The trial also closely monitors safety, thinking changes, mood, and blood pressure before and after dosing.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT03983603Recruiting
Plant stanols and asthma symptoms prevention
This trial tests whether eating plant stanols (a natural substance found in some foods) can help prevent asthma symptoms in people with stable allergic asthma. You would need to take a daily chew and avoid certain cholesterol-lowering products during the study.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18–70 - NCT03794531Recruiting
Study of health, stress, and lifestyle changes in Puerto Rico
This study looks at how people’s health, day-to-day stress, and living conditions in Puerto Rico change over time. You might help researchers understand what trends are happening and what could be improved.
San JuanAges 30–75 - NCT03802851Recruiting
Laser procedure before radiation for prostate cancer symptoms
This trial looks at whether doing a prostate “laser procedure” (called HoLEP) before starting radiation and hormone therapy can improve severe urinary symptoms and reduce urine retention problems. It is for people with prostate cancer who are planning radiation plus hormone treatment and who have significant bladder/urinary trouble.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03851484Recruiting
Study sensory symptoms in people with Tourette-related tics
This study looks at sensory symptoms in adults who have Tourette syndrome or similar long-term tic disorders. Your answers to questionnaires may help researchers understand these symptoms and how they relate to the condition.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03462329Recruiting
Study of expectations after Lyme disease symptoms
This study enrolls people diagnosed with early Lyme disease (erythema migrans) to learn how people’s expectations about symptoms may affect what happens after treatment. Your experience and beliefs will be compared to see if they relate to post-Lyme symptoms.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT02740634Recruiting
Brain imaging study for Alzheimer's disease
This study uses brain scans to understand Alzheimer's disease and related conditions that affect memory, language, or vision. It looks at how changes in the brain happen over time in people with these diagnoses.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 21–80 - NCT02624362Enrolling by invitation

- How do I know if I qualify for a symptom 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 symptom 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.
