Locked in Syndrome clinical trials
Below are recruiting locked in syndrome clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 6 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT03567213Recruiting
CortiCom brain signal system for communication in severe paralysis
This trial tests a system that records brain signals to help people with severe paralysis and little or no speech communicate. It involves a surgical implant and frequent study visits to see if the system can work safely and reliably for communication.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 22–70 - NCT05724173Recruiting
Test of a brain-to-computer device for ALS hand paralysis
This study checks whether a brain-computer interface (a BrainGate2 system) is safe and workable for people with ALS. If you qualify, you may be asked to try the device and complete study tasks to help researchers learn how well it can support communication or control.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06094205Recruiting
BrainGate2 speech study for people with tetraplegia
This study tests a brain-computer interface to help people with severe paralysis communicate by decoding attempted speech or movements. It may offer a new way to interact with devices using only brain signals.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06207591Recruiting
Brain implant study for locked-in communication
This study tests a new brain implant (CortiCom) that may help people who are locked-in or nearly locked-in communicate again. It involves surgery to place the device in the brain and requires a caregiver and commitment to follow-up visits.
UtrechtAges 18–70 - NCT00912041Recruiting
Test of a brain-to-computer device for quadriplegia
This study tests whether a tiny brain computer interface can help people with quadriplegia (loss of movement in all four limbs) communicate or control technology. It’s mainly a feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the device can work safely and reliably in real life.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07460037Recruiting
Brain signal study for speech recovery after stroke or injury
This trial uses a special brain-mapping test called high-density ECoG to study how people who have lost speech due to stroke, brain tumor, or ALS can be helped by reading brain signals when they imagine speaking. It may lead to new devices that let people with severe speech problems communicate using only their thoughts.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 20–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for locked in syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 6 recruiting locked in syndrome 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 locked in syndrome 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 locked in syndrome 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.
