This study compares in-person physiotherapy with remote telerehabilitation after a specific type of wrist fracture surgery. It aims to see if doing rehab at home works as well as going to a clinic.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–65 - NCT06368206Recruiting
Testing a fingertip light sensor for blood pressure
This study tests a new way to measure blood pressure by using a light sensor on your fingertip, instead of a traditional arm cuff. It aims to see if this optical method works as well as standard blood pressure checks.
LausanneAges 21–85 - NCT06448689Recruiting
Wrist monitor study for itch in eczema and psoriasis
This study tests whether a wrist-worn device can accurately measure scratching during sleep in people with eczema (atopic dermatitis) or psoriasis. It may help doctors better understand and treat nighttime itching.
ParisAges 14–70 - NCT06509633Recruiting
Pain education and rehab for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests whether combining a special type of pain education with standard rehabilitation helps people with moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome feel better and improve hand function. It aims to help you understand your pain and recover.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–50 - NCT06698536Recruiting
Testing a cuffless blood pressure monitor
This study tests a new wrist-worn device that measures blood pressure without a cuff. You'll wear the device and have your blood pressure taken with a standard cuff to see how well the new method works.
LausanneAges 21–85 - NCT06735092Recruiting
Exercise vs. braces for tennis elbow
This study compares two types of treatment—exercise therapy and elbow braces—for people with long-term elbow pain (lateral elbow tendinopathy, also known as tennis elbow). It aims to see which treatment helps more.
Istanbul, BuyukcekmeceAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT06818760Recruiting
Remote monitoring for pregnant women with heart conditions
This study tests if a wrist wearable can safely monitor pregnant women with congenital heart disease. It aims to improve care during pregnancy, delivery, and after birth by tracking health data remotely.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06883669Recruiting
AI for wrist and hand joint ultrasound
This study is testing if an artificial intelligence program can help doctors take clearer images of the wrist and hand using ultrasound. It is for healthy volunteers to help build the AI system, and for experienced sonographers to test how well it works.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–100 - NCT06941662Recruiting
Huntington's disease biobank: remote monitoring study
This study is building a biobank to better understand Huntington's disease by using remote monitoring and deep phenotyping (collecting detailed health information). It may help develop better ways to track the disease and improve care for people with the Huntington's gene expansion.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06989905RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a brain stimulation method for spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a brain stimulation technique can improve arm and hand function in people with spinal cord injury at or above C6. It may help strengthen signals from the brain to the wrist muscles.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07060430Recruiting
Comparing two wrist therapies after Colle's fracture
This study compares two types of gentle hand exercises to help people whose wrists have become stiff after a Colle's fracture. The goal is to see which approach works better for restoring wrist movement.
IslamabadAges 40–70 - NCT07162415Recruiting
Ganglion resection for wrist pain
This trial tests if removing a wrist ganglion (a benign fluid-filled lump) helps reduce pain better than other treatments. It is for adults with wrist pain from a confirmed ganglion cyst who have not had wrist surgery before.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT07166198Recruiting
Stopping age-related muscle weakness in women during inactivity
This study tests if a gentle hand exercise or a noninvasive brain stimulation can prevent muscle weakness in middle-aged women when they limit arm use for a period. It may help protect your strength and nerve function during recovery or downtime.
Manhattan, KansasAges 40–65 - NCT07297277Recruiting
Checking if the Huawei D2 watch measures blood pressure accurately

Newcastle upon TyneAges 18 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+ - NCT07474909Recruiting
Comparing two ways to give dexamethasone for hand surgery in children

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for wrist?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 73 recruiting wrist 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 wrist 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 wrist 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.
