Arm and breathing exercises for cerebral palsy
This study tests two types of exercises: one that uses guided arm and shoulder movements (called PNF) and another that focuses on deep breathing (chest expansion). The goal is to see if these exercises can help children with cerebral palsy move their arms better and breathe more easily.

This trial tests if short, high-intensity arm exercises can help people with stable heart failure. It looks at safety and improvements in daily function.
Mersin, MersinAges 18 years+ - 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
This study tests a smart glove system that provides arm and hand exercises at home for people who had a brain injury (like a stroke) more than 3 months ago and have weakness on one side. The goal is to improve use of the affected arm without needing frequent hospital visits.
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 - NCT06948916Recruiting
Test of a 6-minute pegboard and ring exercise in ILD
This study will test a simple exercise test that uses a pegboard and rings to measure how your lungs and body work together. It may help doctors better understand your breathing ability.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT07070778Recruiting
Arterial stiffness study for breast cancer survivors
This study looks at how breast cancer treatment affects artery health. It tests whether artery stiffness is linked to recovery, and may help guide future rehabilitation programs.
Ankara, StateAges 40–69 - NCT01459107RecruitingPhase 2
Upper arm transplant study using immune treatment
This trial tests replacing a missing or non-working lower arm/hand with a donated upper limb (transplant). It also uses a special immune treatment plan and bone marrow infusion to help the body accept the new limb, aiming to improve hand function and quality of life.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–69 - NCT07674329Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab for arm strength after stroke
This trial tests if using virtual reality (VR) exercises early after an ischemic stroke can help improve arm muscle strength, thinking skills, and mood. It is for people who have had a stroke within the last 10 days.
TaipeiAges 18–85 - NCT07598435Recruiting
Arm Recovery Exercises After Stroke: Two Training Methods Compared
This study tests two different physical therapy approaches to help improve arm movement and function in people recovering from stroke. You'll participate in therapy sessions using either rhythmic initiation (guided movement exercises) or isometric training (muscle-tightening exercises) to see which helps your arm recover better.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07520032Recruiting
Shockwave therapy for arm function after stroke
This trial tests whether a non-invasive shockwave treatment can help improve arm movement and strength in people who had their first stroke within the past 6 months. The goal is to see if this therapy reduces stiffness and helps patients regain better use of their arm.
Ajman, Ajman EmirateAges 18–65 - NCT07720609Recruiting
Home versus clinic therapy for arm function after stroke
This trial compares video-based therapy at home to in-clinic therapy for improving arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago. It may help you regain function in your affected arm.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 35–75 - NCT07722429Recruiting
Personalized spinal stimulation for arm function after spinal injury
This study tests a personalized electrical stimulation treatment placed near the spine to see if it can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. If you have a stable injury above the mid-back and have not had new nerve problems in the last 6 months, you may be able to join.
Hualien CityAges 18–70 - NCT04032990Recruiting
Testing a skin-based nerve stimulation for kids’ arm function
This trial studies whether a painless, skin-based treatment (stimulation over the spine) is safe and feasible to improve arm and hand function in children with a spinal cord injury. It’s mainly designed to see if the approach can be done safely and whether it may help upper-limb skills.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 4–18 - NCT07273201Recruiting
Comparing two arm exercises after stroke
This study tests two different types of arm exercises to see which one helps improve arm function better during early stroke recovery. It is for people who recently had a stroke on one side of their brain and are in the early stages of recovery.
CairoAges 50–60 - NCT07619703Recruiting
Stroke Recovery Program Combining Therapy and Brain Stimulation
This study tests whether combining a hand-therapy program (CIMT) with mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) helps women recover hand function and quality of life after a stroke. You would attend therapy sessions over several weeks while receiving non-invasive brain stimulation to help rewire your brain's movement control.
Temuco, AraucaniaAges 30–85 - NCT06928857Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests if an electrical stimulator controlled by muscle signals can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may benefit people who have some movement but not full control in one arm.
GenovaAges 18 years+ - NCT07366697Recruiting
Using wrist sensors to measure daily arm use after stroke
This study tests whether wearing small activity monitors on both wrists for 3 days can better measure how stroke affects daily two-handed tasks. It aims to improve understanding of real-world arm function.
LeuvenAges 18–80 - NCT07404761Recruiting
Moving your arm after stroke or TBI
This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses and augmented reality (a computer overlay on real life) to help people who have arm or hand weakness after a recent stroke or brain injury regain movement.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for upper extremity function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 92 recruiting upper extremity function 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 function 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 function 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.
