Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06678438RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block vs. hematoma block for wrist fracture realignment
This study compares two ways to numb your arm before a doctor moves your broken wrist back into place: one is a nerve block (injection near the shoulder), and the other is a hematoma block (injection into the fracture site). The goal is to see which method works better for pain relief during the procedure.
Hillerød, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06672458Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to help arm and hand function after spinal cord injury
This trial uses a non-invasive device called MyndMove to apply small electrical pulses to the arm muscles, helping to improve movement after a spinal cord or nerve injury. It may be an option for people who still have some connection between their brain and arm muscles.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT04921592Recruiting
Arm therapy for people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury
This trial looks at an upper-arm exercise program for people with long-term (at least 6 months) spinal cord injuries in the neck area. It may help improve how you use your arms and manage stiffness, while also checking if the program is safe for participants.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07263295Recruiting
Diaphragm function after shoulder block with long-lasting numbing medication
This study checks how a nerve block for upper arm surgery affects the diaphragm, the muscle that helps you breathe. It uses a long-lasting numbing medicine to see if breathing is affected.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06990555Recruiting
Cast art for kids with broken bones
This study looks at using a special cast art program for children with broken arms or legs. It aims to see if decorating casts can make the experience better for kids and their families.
Portsmouth, VirginiaAges 5–18 - NCT07773155RecruitingPhase 4
Pain control after hand or wrist surgery: nerve block with or without ketorolac
This study tests two different pain relief methods after hand or wrist surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus an anti-inflammatory medication called ketorolac. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05267951Recruiting
Closed-loop spinal stimulation to improve hand use after spinal injury
This trial tests a smart form of spinal stimulation that responds to your body’s signals to help improve upper-extremity (arm/hand) function after a spinal cord injury. If it works, it may make everyday hand tasks like dressing, grooming, or feeding easier.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–70 - NCT06489106Enrolling by invitation
Spinal stimulation to improve hand function in kids with spinal cord injury
This study tests a noninvasive spinal stimulation device to help children with spinal cord injury regain hand strength and control. It may improve grip and daily activities.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 7–12 - NCT06743607Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to improve arm and hand function at home
This trial tests whether using a special device that sends small electrical currents to the spinal cord can help people recovering from a recent spinal cord injury regain movement in their arms and hands. The treatment happens in your home with the help of a caregiver.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06806514Recruiting
Exercise and muscle strength in chronic low back pain
This trial measures how well you can use your arms and how strong your breathing and other muscles are if you have chronic low back pain. It aims to understand the links between these factors to improve future treatments.
KırşehirAges 18–65 - NCT06172621Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation study for ALS hand weakness
This study tests whether combining brain and spinal cord stimulation can improve hand function in people with ALS who have partial weakness but still some movement in their fingers. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach can strengthen nerve connections.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT06535373Recruiting
Blood flow restriction training for hand grip strength
This study tests if using a blood flow restriction band on your arm during exercise can improve grip strength more than exercise alone. It is for healthy adults aged 18 to 35 who want to see if this safe, supervised training can boost their hand and arm strength.
Pomona, CaliforniaAges 18–35 - NCT06587308Recruiting
How pressure garments affect arm function after stroke
This study tests whether wearing special pressure garments on the arm can improve movement, feeling, and quality of life for people who have had a stroke. It may help if you have some arm weakness but not too much tightness or other health problems.
Weifang, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06797154Recruiting
Stroke recovery study: wrist sensor to boost arm use
This study tests a wrist-worn sensor that vibrates to remind you to use your weaker arm. It's designed for people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness, to help them use their affected arm more during daily activities.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT06837324Recruiting
Smart glove therapy for arm weakness after brain injury

SeoulAges 19–85 - NCT06837363Recruiting
Smart board rehab for arm weakness after brain injury
This trial tests a smart board therapy that you can do without in-person contact to help improve arm movement if you have weakness on one side from a stroke, brain injury, or tumor. It is for people who are at least 3 months past their diagnosis and can understand simple instructions.
SeoulAges 19–85 - NCT07014696Recruiting
Taping and exercise for hand function after stroke

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for upper extremity fractures?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 26 recruiting upper extremity fractures 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 upper extremity fractures 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 upper extremity fractures 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.
