How Often to Exercise After a Stroke
This study tests whether exercising more often (high frequency) or less often (low frequency) helps people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago walk better. You'll do high-intensity walking workouts, and the goal is to see which schedule gives the most improvement.

Spinal cord stimulation for freezing gait in advanced Parkinson's
This trial tests if a small device placed near your spine (spinal cord stimulation) can help improve freezing of gait in people with advanced Parkinson's whose medicines aren't enough. It also aims to reduce leg pain if you have it.
Hsinchu, Hsinchu CityAges 40–85 - NCT06644898Recruiting

Cupping for leg stiffness and movement after stroke
This study tests if cupping therapy can reduce leg stiffness and improve movement in people recovering from a stroke. You must be getting rehab at a specific clinic in Joliet.
Joliet, IllinoisAges 30–80 - NCT06666816Recruiting
Watching changes in walking for muscle and nerve diseases
This study watches how people with certain muscle or nerve diseases walk over time. It may help doctors understand changes in walking patterns and is open to adults who can walk and have a genetic diagnosis of a neuromuscular condition.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 18–75 - NCT06688578Recruiting
Can a device that makes small noises improve balance and walking?
This study tests whether a device that plays small, random sounds (called stochastic noise) can help people feel steadier and walk better. It is for healthy adults of two age groups — those 60 and older, and those 21–59.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21 years+ - NCT06722768Recruiting
Smart insole to detect walking changes from a spinal tap in NPH
This study checks if a special smart insole can detect changes in walking after a spinal tap test for people with suspected Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). If you have walking problems and are considering a spinal tap, this trial might help find better ways to measure your response.
Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-doAges Any age - NCT06728787Recruiting
Robot-assisted walking for hereditary spastic paraplegia
This trial tests if robot-assisted walking therapy can help people with hereditary spastic paraplegia (a condition causing progressive leg stiffness and weakness) improve their walking ability. It may be an option if you can walk indoors on your own.
Bosisio Parini, Italy/leccoAges 4–70 - NCT06733077Recruiting
Digital services for Parkinson's disease
This study is developing digital services for people with Parkinson's disease and also includes healthy volunteers. It aims to understand movement problems like freezing of gait and festination, and uses a virtual reality system to measure these issues.
ExeterAges 18 years+ - NCT06750055Recruiting
Walking assessment after lumbar spinal stenosis surgery
This study looks at how well people walk after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis. It may help you understand your recovery if you had surgery 6 weeks to 3 months ago.
DenizliAges 20–65 - NCT06780488Recruiting
Virtual reality balance training for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether a special virtual-reality system that combines head movements and balance exercises can help improve walking and stability for people who have had a stroke. It is designed for those who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can walk with some help.
Roma, RMAges 18–80 - NCT06848205Recruiting
Brain pacemaker study for freezing of gait in Parkinson's
This study looks at how a special brain pacemaker (called the Medtronic Percept device) affects walking problems like freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's. It aims to help understand and improve treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–75 - NCT06850662Recruiting
Backward walking observation training for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether watching videos of backward walking and then practicing it can help improve your walking quality after a stroke. It is designed for people who are at least six months past their stroke and can already walk independently.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT06868160Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve walking in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
MilanAges 45–85 - NCT06878677Recruiting
Personalized exercise program for stroke recovery
This study tests a personalized exercise plan designed using data from your walking and movement to help improve your recovery after a stroke.
HksarAges 45–75 - NCT06887114Recruiting
Lumbar back therapy for better walking and balance after stroke
This study tests a gentle, hands-on therapy called Mulligan Mobilization for the lower back. It may help improve walking, balance, and body awareness after a stroke.
AnkaraAges 30–65 - NCT06906276Recruiting
Brain activity during walking in atypical Parkinson's
This study looks at brain activity while walking in people with atypical Parkinsonian syndromes like PSP or MSA. It may help understand how these conditions affect walking and balance.
Solna, SolnaAges Any age - NCT06943274Recruiting
SWOC activities for balance and walking in children with autism

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gait?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 337 recruiting gait 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 gait 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 gait 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.
