Exercise and rehabilitation interventions are essential for health resto-ration, yet reviews on related clinical trials remain limited despite in-creasing research interest. This study analyzed the characteristics, de-signs, sample sizes, and outcome variables of clinical trials registered with the Clinical Research Information Service in South Korea, focusing on exercise and rehabilitation interventions. A systematic search using “exercise” and “rehabilitation” identified 1,089 trials registered up to June 9, 2024, with 470 meeting the inclusion criteria. Most studies (79.79%) were retrospectively registered, and 45.11% were open-label trials. Behavioral interventions (26.60%) and medical devices (22.34%) were most common, targeting circulatory (27.45%) and musculoskeletal (19.79%) conditions. Frequently assessed outcomes included ‘balance,’ ‘pain,’ and ‘walking.’ A notable increase in trials was observed since 2017. However, the high proportion of retrospective registrations and open-label designs highlights the need for more prospective and blind-ed trials to enhance research quality.
