Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–69 - NCT06903416RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nerve stimulation for arm and hand function after spinal cord injury
This study tests a non-invasive, painless nerve stimulation technique to see if it can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. It may help people who have had a neck-level injury more than 9 months ago.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–75 - NCT07115225Recruiting
Shoulder tests for athletes after a dislocation
This study tests a set of physical tests to see how well they measure shoulder function in people who have had a shoulder dislocation and plan to return to sports. It may help you understand if you are ready to go back to your sport safely.

Follow-up for transplanted arm patients
This study follows people who received a transplanted arm (or both arms) to learn from their ongoing care. You may be asked for small tissue samples (biopsies) and to continue an immunotherapy plan to help protect the transplant.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT03610763Recruiting
Training brain recovery after arm nerve repair
This study tests a way to help your brain and nerves work better after an arm/hand nerve repair that is already in the long-term (chronic) recovery stage. It may help improve hand and arm function by targeting “neuroplasticity,” meaning the brain’s ability to adapt after injury.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT04110730Recruiting
Testing 3D-printed prostheses on hand and arm brain signals
This study looks at how 3D-printed prosthetic devices affect brain and nerve activity related to moving and using the upper limb. You might be able to join if you are a child or teen who is missing part of a hand/arm and has upper-limb movement difficulties.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 3–18 - NCT07303582RecruitingPhase 4
Freezing nerves to ease pain from muscle tightness
This study tests if freezing specific nerves (cryoneurolysis) can reduce pain caused by muscle tightness (spasticity) after a brain or spinal cord injury, or from multiple sclerosis. It is for people who already get Botox injections for this pain.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06156904Recruiting
Study of b.Bone bone graft for defects in arms, legs, pelvis
This trial is following patients who receive a bone graft using a product called b.Bone to treat bone defects in the arms, legs, or pelvis. Researchers will collect information during your regular follow-up visits to see how well the bone heals.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06065384Recruiting
Arm training for recovery after recent spinal cord injury
This trial tests a type of arm and hand exercise training to see if it helps the brain and nerves recover after a recent spinal cord injury in the neck. It may help people who have some movement left in their arms or hands.
AntwerpAges 16–90 - NCT07784530Recruiting
Hand and Eye Dominance in Volleyball Players
This study looks at how being right- or left-handed affects arm skills in volleyball players. It will help understand how your dominant hand and eye work together, which could improve training and performance.
IstanbulAges 18–30 - NCT07784517Recruiting
Breathing technique for arm performance in volleyball players
This study looks at how a breathing technique called diaphragmatic facilitation affects arm and upper body performance in volleyball players. It may help improve your game by enhancing shoulder and arm function.
IstanbulAges 18–30 - 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 - NCT06806397Recruiting
Brain imaging study of arm weakness after stroke
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
MoscowAges 35–70 - NCT07349914Enrolling by invitation
Shoulder Pain and Function with Heart Devices
This study looks at shoulder pain and how well the shoulder works in people who have a heart device like a pacemaker. It aims to understand if having the device affects shoulder function over time.
Ankara, SamanpazariAges 18 years+ - NCT07338760Recruiting
Core stability exercises effect on balance in archers
This study looks at whether doing core (trunk) muscle exercises for a short time can help archers with their balance and how well they can use their upper body when shooting. It is for archers who are already in a licensed program.
Kağıthane, IstanbulAges Any age - NCT07331012Recruiting
Flywheel exercise for better basketball skills in teens
This study tests if upper body flywheel exercises can improve basketball skills, muscle oxygenation, and reduce fatigue in adolescent male basketball players. Flywheel exercises use a spinning wheel to create resistance during movement.
IğdırAges 10–18 - NCT07253909Enrolling by invitation
Arm function in heart failure with ICD or CRT devices

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for upper extremity injuries?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 63 recruiting upper extremity injuries 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 injuries 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 injuries 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.
