Nudging to use TENS for pain after surgery
This trial tests whether a simple reminder (nudging) can encourage staff and patients to use a device called TENS, which uses mild electrical pulses to help reduce pain after urological surgery.
Gothenburg, VGRAges 18 years+ - NCT07548723Enrolling by invitation
Nerve Stimulation Device Reliability Study
This study tests how reliably a small ear-stimulation device measures heart-rhythm patterns. Researchers want to see if the device gives consistent readings across multiple measurement sessions, which could help doctors monitor heart health in the future.
SinopAges 18–40 - NCT07448350Recruiting
TENS therapy for better sensation after leg amputation
This study tests if a gentle electrical stimulation method called TENS can help people who have lost a leg below or above the knee feel more natural sensations in their missing limb and reduce phantom limb pain.
Rome, RomeAges 18–80 - NCT07293975Recruiting
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 - NCT06541015Recruiting
TENS for improving walking after stroke
This study tests whether a small electrical device (TENS) can help stroke survivors walk better. You will receive TENS or placebo while walking on a treadmill, and the researchers will measure how your muscles respond.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07063979Recruiting
Using a nerve-stimulation band to reduce nausea after weight-loss surgery
This trial tests if adding a small nerve-stimulation device (Reliefband) to standard recovery care can help prevent nausea and vomiting in the first 24 hours after robotic sleeve gastrectomy. If you are having this surgery and match the criteria, you may be able to join.
Plainsboro, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT06957912Recruiting
Ear nerve stimulation for recovery after major surgery
This trial tests if stimulating a nerve in your ear (vagus nerve) before and after noncardiac surgery can improve your recovery. It's for adults aged 18 to 84 having planned or time-sensitive surgery lasting at least 2 hours.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06882733Recruiting
TENS therapy for leg blood flow in healthy adults
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation (TENS) applied to the leg muscles and nerve clusters can improve blood flow behind the knee. It looks at immediate effects and might help understand better ways to support circulation.
Kaohsiung City, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT06527131Recruiting
Pulsed magnetic field therapy for Charcot foot ulcers
This trial tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation can help heal foot ulcers caused by Charcot foot disease. It is for adults aged 50 to 70.
GizaAges 50–70 - NCT07723586Recruiting
TENS vs Ultrasound for mechanical neck pain
This trial compares two common treatments—TENS (a device that uses mild electrical pulses) and ultrasound therapy—along with neck exercises for long-lasting neck pain. You would get one of these treatments for several weeks to see which helps your pain more.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–45 - NCT07569705Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation to Help Breathing After Weight-Loss Surgery
This trial tests whether electrical nerve stimulation (a non-invasive, pain-relieving technique) can help improve breathing problems that sometimes occur after weight-loss surgery. The study measures how well your diaphragm—the muscle that helps you breathe—works after the procedure.
CairoAges 20–60 - NCT07747454Recruiting
Strength exercises or electrical stimulation for diabetic frozen shoulder
This study tests two types of physical therapy—isometric strengthening exercises and TENS (a pain-relieving electrical stimulation)—to see which is better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with diabetes who have frozen shoulder. You may receive one of these treatments for several weeks.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 40–65 - NCT07732764Recruiting
TENS for Pain After Chest Surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 95 recruiting transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation 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 transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation 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 transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation 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.
