Upper-Limb Training Methods for Improving Tennis Serve Power
This study compares two different arm-training approaches—plyometric exercises (explosive, bouncy movements) versus traditional strength training—to see which better improves serve speed and arm power in competitive tennis players. If you're an experienced competitive player, this research could help you understand which training method works best for your serve.

Can adaptive gaming help kids with arm differences?
This study explores whether playing video games with adapted controls can help children aged 7 to 17 who have a missing or different arm or hand. It tests how fun and useful these games are for improving movement and daily life.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 7–17 - NCT05638191Recruiting
Nerve transfer surgery for arm grasp after neck spinal cord injury
This study looks at whether nerve transfer surgery can help restore hand grasp function after a neck (cervical) spinal cord injury. You may be eligible if your injury is recent and you meet specific strength patterns and can commit to rehabilitation after surgery.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18–70 - NCT04855214Recruiting
Sharing experiences using an upper-limb prosthesis
This study looks at what it feels like to use an upper-limb prosthesis over time. It may help researchers understand user experiences and improve prosthesis support and training.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07582679Recruiting
Comparing two suture types for arm wound closure
This trial compares two types of stitches (polypropylene and polyglactin) used to close wounds on the upper arm or hand after surgery. The goal is to see which one leads to better healing and fewer complications.
Menoufia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT05665998Recruiting
Brain-controlled spinal stimulation for arm rehab after neck injury
This study tests a brain-controlled spinal stimulation approach to improve arm (upper limb) movement after a neck spinal cord injury. It may help people who have very limited arm function after a stable, traumatic injury, using frequent training and device-related checks.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18–75 - NCT07011420Recruiting
Testing different prosthetics controls for arm amputees
This trial tests how different numbers and types of muscle signals (myoelectric) affect control of a prosthetic hand and wrist. It aims to find the best setup for people with a below-elbow amputation who have used a myoelectric prosthetic before.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07558876Recruiting
Upper limb training with vibration therapy after stroke
This trial tests whether combining task-oriented exercises with focal vibration (gentle vibrating stimulation) can help improve arm and hand function and feeling in people who've had a stroke. The vibration aims to help your brain better sense where your hand is and what it's touching.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT07325708Recruiting
Testing a new implant to control a bionic hand
This trial tests a small implant that reads muscle signals to help you control a prosthetic hand more naturally. You may qualify if you have a missing hand or arm below the elbow and currently use or could use a myoelectric (muscle-signal) prosthetic.
Malvern, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06043518Recruiting
Brain changes after losing an arm or hand
This study uses MRI scans to see how the brain changes in people born without a hand or who lost an arm. You might join as a participant with upper-limb loss or as a healthy volunteer for comparison.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–75 - NCT06139731Recruiting
Physiotherapy for arm burn recovery
This trial tests if physical therapy can improve arm function after burns covering at least 10% of your body and requiring surgery. It may help you regain movement and strength in your burned arm.
KaunasAges 18–65 - NCT07429188Recruiting
Study of upper-limb assistive device users
This study looks at how well upper-limb assistive devices (like robotic arms) work for people who use them and for their caregivers. You and your caregiver can help by sharing your experiences in video interviews.
PerpignanAges 18 years+ - NCT07233161Recruiting
Modified arm therapy for early stroke recovery
This trial tests a modified version of constraint-induced movement therapy to help improve arm function in people who have had a stroke within the last 15 days. You may benefit if you have weakness in one arm and can follow simple instructions.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07054424Recruiting
TMS and bimanual therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests if combining repetitive magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) with two-handed therapy can improve arm function after a first-time stroke. It may help people who have weakness or difficulty using one hand due to a stroke within the past year.

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.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07691957Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for upper limb injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 68 recruiting upper limb injury 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 injury 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 injury 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.
