Recruiting studies
- NCT06439823Recruiting
Study of arm and leg movement in people with walking problems
This study observes how your arms and legs move as you walk or do other activities. It compares people with conditions that affect movement (like muscle diseases) to healthy volunteers to understand differences.
Liège, LiegeAges 2 years+ - 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 - NCT06696469Recruiting
Virtual reality for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests if a virtual reality system called BeCure can help people who had a stroke recover arm movement. It's for people who are still in the early to later stages of recovery (not the very first days) and have some movement and sitting balance.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT06698380Recruiting
Mirror therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether using a mirror to create the illusion of movement can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. It may be a good option if you have limited arm movement and can follow simple instructions.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 45–65 - NCT06673953Recruiting
Breathing training for heart surgery recovery with neck posture problems
This trial tests whether a breathing exercise device can improve heart and lung function in men who had heart bypass surgery at least 3 months ago and also have neck pain from poor posture. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger after surgery.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 45–55 - NCT05866003Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus hand training after stroke
This trial tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and structured hand practice can improve hand movement for people recovering from stroke. It may help because the training targets upper-limb function while using therapy intended to support recovery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21–90 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07657182RecruitingPhase 4
Study comparing two nerve grafts for arm or hand recovery
This study tests a new nerve graft (Avance) against the standard sural nerve graft (taken from your leg) for repairing cut nerves in the arm or hand. The goal is to see which helps you recover function better over 2 years.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for upper limb function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 105 recruiting upper limb 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 limb 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 limb 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.
