BrusselsAges 2–6 - NCT06770010Recruiting
Digital brain training for kids with sickle cell disease
This trial is testing a digital program to help improve working memory (the ability to hold and use information in your mind) for children with sickle cell disease. If you join, you'll use a computer-based training program at home and researchers will see if it works and is easy to use.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 7–16 - NCT06770218Recruiting
Pelvic taping for stability in Down syndrome
This trial tests whether taping the pelvic area can help children with Down syndrome feel more stable. It may improve their movement and balance.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 4–10 - NCT06771687Recruiting
High-intensity interval training for heart conduit patients
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve heart function and fitness in people who have a surgical tube (conduit) connecting their right ventricle to their pulmonary artery. It aims to find a safe and effective exercise program for those with this type of congenital heart condition.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 12–45 - NCT06772675Recruiting

- Clin2 is tracking 3,858 recruiting medical genetics studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 5,779 we cover in this area in total.
- What does “Genetic & congenital” cover here?
- Inherited and congenital conditions present from birth or written into the genes. We group each study into genetic & congenital based on the conditions it studies, so you can scan the whole therapeutic area at once and drill into a specific condition.
- How do I find a genetic & congenital trial near me?
- Use the search to filter genetic & congenital studies by location and eligibility. Every Clin2 trial page explains the criteria in plain English and offers a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read — the study team makes the final decision.
