Recruiting studies
- NCT06259877Recruiting
Breathing, balance, and function after a stroke
This study tests how breathing muscle strength, balance, and trunk control relate to daily function after a stroke. It aims to help you recover better.
KirikkaleAges 18 years+ - NCT07173972RecruitingPhase 2
Proton radiation for inoperable soft tissue sarcoma
This trial studies a high-dose, shortened course of proton beam radiation for people with soft tissue sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to improve tumor control while reducing side effects.
BergenAges 18 years+ - NCT07169344RecruitingPhase 2
Short course radiation before sarcoma surgery
This trial tests a shorter, 3-week course of radiation therapy (using protons or standard X-rays) given before surgery for localized soft tissue sarcoma. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for treating the tumor while reducing side effects.
BergenAges 18 years+ - NCT06955377Recruiting
Bending forward and airway protection in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how bending forward (trunk flexion) affects your body's ability to protect your airway in Parkinson's disease. It may help understand breathing risks and guide therapy.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT07151534Recruiting
Body awareness, trunk stability, and arm function in MS
This study explores how body awareness and trunk stability relate to arm function in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It aims to understand these connections to help improve rehabilitation for MS patients.
Ankara, AltındağAges 10 years+ - NCT07134192Recruiting
Using a dye to guide sarcoma surgery
This trial tests a special dye that helps surgeons see the edges of sarcoma tumors during surgery. It may help them remove all the cancer while saving healthy tissue.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06975202Recruiting
Trunk Muscle Activation in Pain-Free Adults
This study checks how reliably trunk muscle activity can be measured in healthy people. It helps researchers understand normal muscle function without pain.
GhentAges 18–65 - NCT06987188Recruiting
Modified Pilates for balance and trunk control in children
This study tests whether modified Pilates exercises can help children with mild intellectual disability improve trunk control and balance. It aims to find a fun and effective way to support their physical development.
Lahore, PinjabAges 6–12 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06882213Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation and core exercises for stroke recovery
This study tests if combining a gentle electrical brain stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation) with core stability exercises helps improve trunk control after a stroke. It may be helpful if you are 55 or older, had your first stroke within the past six months, and can stand and walk on your own.
Banī SuwayfAges 55–75 - NCT06835049RecruitingPhase 2
Heating therapy before surgery for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a new approach for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma of the arm, leg, or trunk. Before surgery, you would receive chemotherapy combined with local hyperthermia (a treatment that gently heats the tumor area) to see if this can improve outcomes.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT02509455Recruiting
Study measures balance during standing and walking
This study checks how your trunk (upper body) sways while standing and walking using a motion sensor. It’s meant to better understand balance control and compare how people move when standing still and in motion.
BaselAges 18–80 - NCT06780423Recruiting
Muscle changes in colorectal cancer cachexia
This study compares muscle changes in people with colorectal cancer who have experienced weight loss (cachexia), those with colorectal cancer without weight loss, and healthy volunteers. Participants will have their trunk and leg muscles examined to understand how cachexia affects the body.
Diepenbeek, LimburgAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06320288Recruiting
Balance and movement study in children with cerebral palsy
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy control their trunk and center of mass while walking. It may help understand balance challenges and guide future therapies.
NancyAges 1.5 years–18 years - NCT04747626Recruiting
Stent-based repair for damaged upper aorta segments
This trial studies a specific surgical approach using branched stents to repair multiple damaged parts of the upper (thoracic) aorta. It may help people who need urgent or complex aortic repair and are expected to survive more than two years.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06022159RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation therapy for older adults with sarcoma
This trial tests a shorter, more convenient radiation schedule (hypofractionated) for older or fragile adults with soft tissue sarcoma in a limb or trunk. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective before surgery.
BordeauxAges 65 years+ - NCT02329652Recruiting
Bionic stimulation to help arm and trunk movement after spinal injury
This study tests a neuroprosthetic system that uses controlled stimulation to help restore movement in the arm and trunk after a spinal cord injury. If you qualify, it may help you regain practical strength and control for everyday tasks.
Cleveland, OhioAges 17 years+ - NCT05191121Enrolling by invitation
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+ - 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.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for trunk?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 70 recruiting trunk 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 trunk 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 trunk 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.
