Rehab program to improve arm and trunk control after spinal injury
This trial helps people with recent traumatic spinal cord injury improve arm movement and trunk (upper body) stability using a training program that includes electrical stimulation. If you’re early after injury and can safely use stimulation, you may benefit from more controlled movement for daily tasks.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT04642456Recruiting
Balance and walking strength testing for spinal deformity adults
This study checks balance and leg strength using simple walking and movement tests. It focuses on adults with spinal deformity and compares them to people without deformity, to better measure how well you function.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–79 - NCT05805410Recruiting
Trunk therapy in children with spastic cerebral palsy
This study looks at how special trunk (core) exercises or positioning affect movement and muscle control in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). It may help families understand which trunk-focused interventions improve function and comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 4–12 - NCT06438432Recruiting
Trunk exercises for young children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether special trunk exercises can help young children with cerebral palsy improve their balance and walking. It compares children who do the exercises with those who get usual care.
NancyAges 1.5 years–6 years - NCT06643104Recruiting
Testing a 3D scan method for scoliosis in teens
This study tests a new 3D imaging method to assess scoliosis by comparing back height difference and trunk rotation angle. It aims to find a simpler way to measure spinal curves in teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
HangzhouAges 10–18 - NCT07587203Enrolling by invitation
Numbing medication for shoulder surgery and breathing
This trial compares two types of numbing medications (liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine) given as a nerve block for shoulder surgery. Researchers want to see which one works better for pain relief and causes fewer problems with your breathing afterward.

Front block for better recovery after hip replacement
This study tests if a special nerve block called the front block (pericapsular nerve group block) improves recovery after hip replacement surgery. You may be eligible if you are having hip replacement under spinal anesthesia and do not have certain health issues.
KonyaAges 18 years+ - NCT03663790Recruiting
Gait retraining for knee osteoarthritis movement patterns
This trial tests whether a structured walking retraining program can improve how your leg moves if you have knee osteoarthritis. It may help reduce strain on your lower body during walking by changing walking technique.
Manassas, VirginiaAges 18–80 - NCT04747626Recruiting

This trial studies how much numbing medicine is needed for an ultrasound-guided nerve block used during elective shoulder rotator cuff surgery. It may help reduce side effects while still providing good pain control.
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges 18–75 - NCT05111093Recruiting
Epidural electrical stimulation for steadier blood pressure after spinal injury
This study tests a treatment that delivers electrical stimulation through an epidural device to help stabilize blood pressure and improve trunk control in people with a spinal cord injury. It may help reduce episodes of dizziness or drops in blood pressure when standing and support better body control during activity.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT05167994RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery radiation plus an anti-cancer drug for soft tissue sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving radiation before surgery, along with anlotinib and penpulimab, can improve treatment for localized soft tissue sarcoma. It may help shrink or control the tumor before conservative surgery.
