Spinal Stimulation to Improve Walking in Chronic Back and Leg Pain
This pilot study tests whether a special spinal cord stimulator—a small device that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help you walk better if you have ongoing nerve pain in your lower back and leg after spine surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve your ability to move around.

Charleston, South CarolinaAges 35–85 - NCT05903001Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing to help track lung disease
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05908279Recruiting
Walking and gait study in people with Parkinson’s disease
This trial studies walking patterns and how walking is controlled in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers understand movement control and improve future therapies by comparing walking ability and patterns.
Louvain-la-NeuveAges 18–99 - NCT05937334Recruiting
Long-term study of asthma in adults in China
This study follows adults with asthma over about 2 years to learn more about asthma and how people do over time. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to join regular visits and follow the study plan.

Test a leg sleeve to improve walking in multiple sclerosis
This trial studies whether using the Cionic “Neural Sleeve” can improve walking and leg movement in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help if your MS affects mobility, and you can safely wear and tolerate the device during the day.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22–75 - NCT06006884Recruiting
Understanding long-term lung effects after COVID-19
This study looks at why some people develop long-term lung problems after COVID-19. It compares people who had severe COVID-19 and were hospitalized to those who had mild infections and recovered at home.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06023069Recruiting
Walking test before surgery and recovery after
This study checks how well you can walk before your planned surgery and whether that affects how quickly you recover afterward.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06024577Recruiting
Comparing exercise programs for healthy, inactive adults
This study compares different exercise programs to see which one people stick with best. It is for young and middle-aged adults who do not currently exercise regularly and are generally healthy.
San Luis Obispo, CaliforniaAges 18–40 - NCT06032065RecruitingPhase 3
Exercise for peripheral artery disease
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program is as effective as supervised exercise for improving walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You will be randomly assigned to one of two exercise groups, and you may be asked to drink beetroot juice as part of the study.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT06056375RecruitingPhase 1
Health effects of community nature walks
This study looks at how going on community nature walks for 9 months affects your health and well-being. You'll walk in a group for 6 months, then pick a nature activity for the next 3 months.

Study of high-intensity interval training after stroke
This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program can help people with walking difficulties after a stroke. It looks for veterans who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and walk slowly, to see if this type of exercise can improve their recovery.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18–89 - NCT06084949Recruiting
Exercise for knee osteoarthritis relief
