Registry for Exablate treatment in Parkinson’s with medication problems
This trial is a real-world registry that follows people with Parkinson’s who are planning to get an Exablate 4000 procedure (a focused ultrasound treatment) for one-sided symptoms that are difficult to control with medication. It mainly checks outcomes and safety over time, helping doctors understand how well this treatment works in everyday care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–99 - NCT06213272Recruiting
Exercise and reading therapy for stroke-related reading problems
This study combines exercise with a targeted reading therapy to help people who have trouble reading after a stroke. It aims to see if this approach improves reading accuracy.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–85 - NCT06399952Recruiting
Natural history study for Baker Gordon syndrome
This study follows people with Baker Gordon syndrome over time to better understand the condition. Participants and their caregivers share medical records and complete tests and questionnaires.
Columbia, MissouriAges birth–99 years - NCT07268079Recruiting
Testing a VR app for brain and thinking skills
This study is testing a virtual reality app called VIRADIA to see if it can help check brain and thinking skills. Doctors are looking for people with and without a neurological condition like Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis to take part.
Nitra, Nitra RegionAges 18–80 - NCT06735768Recruiting
Daily magnetic brain stimulation to prevent migraines
This study tests a type of magnetic brain stimulation (repetitive TMS) given daily at home to prevent migraines. It may be an option if your migraine medications aren't enough or you want a non-drug treatment.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–65 - NCT07088055Recruiting
Chewing device vs. oral motor therapy for jaw alignment in kids
This study tests whether a special chewing device (Myo Munchee) can help improve jaw alignment and muscle function in children ages 3–5 who have both jaw alignment problems and orofacial myofunctional disorders. It compares the device to standard oral motor therapy.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 3–5 - NCT07761936RecruitingPhase 3
Safinamide for Parkinson's disease pain
This study tests whether safinamide, an add-on medication for Parkinson's disease, can reduce chronic pain in people who also experience motor fluctuations (times when symptoms return between doses). It aims to see if this treatment can improve pain and quality of life.
Verona, VenetoAges 18 years+ - NCT07182058RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brain stimulation device for Parkinson's motor symptoms
This trial tests a wearable brain stimulation device (tES) that delivers gentle electrical currents to your head to help improve Parkinson's motor symptoms like tremor, stiffness, or slowness. The treatment is done at home with remote video monitoring, and may offer a non-medication option to help with movement.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07422675RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for Parkinson's with motor fluctuations
This study tests a new single-dose treatment for Parkinson's disease to see if it can help reduce 'off' time—when medication wears off and symptoms return. It is for people who experience motor fluctuations and are already on a stable medication routine.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 40–80 - NCT05669703Recruiting
Tracking mood and activity patterns in bipolar disorder families
This study watches how a person’s mood and movement change over time, and how those patterns relate to bipolar disorder. It may help researchers better understand the condition in families and potentially improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–70 - NCT07179822Recruiting
Brain retraining for wrist movement after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a brain-training technique that uses small electrical pulses can help improve wrist movement in people with spinal cord injury. It is designed for those who have some wrist weakness but can still produce a tiny electrical signal in the wrist muscle.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT07193355Recruiting
Motor imagery training for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests if thinking about movements (motor imagery) can help improve hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. It may offer a non-drug way to manage symptoms.
Kahramanmaraş, OnikişubatAges 40–75 - NCT07543367Recruiting
Brain implant to restore arm movement in ALS
This study tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI)—a device that reads signals directly from your brain to help control a computer cursor or robotic arm. It's designed for people with ALS whose arms are paralyzed and who haven't responded to standard treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT05800470Recruiting
Brain-training with light sensors to improve walking in Parkinson’s
This trial tests a “neurofeedback” training program using a special light-sensing cap (fNIRS) to help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may also do guided walking practice mentally (imagery training), and your ability to walk and balance will be measured.
Taipei, None SelectedAges 40–85 - NCT06544317Enrolling by invitation
Motor skills training for kids with coordination disorder
This study tests a motor intervention for children ages 9 to 11 with developmental coordination disorder, to see if it helps improve movement and coordination.
Shanghai, PudongAges 8–12 - NCT01900132Recruiting
Measures nerve and muscle signals in healthy people and patients
This study uses a painless electrical method to record how muscles and nerves work over time. It aims to better understand normal patterns (healthy volunteers) and to learn how these signals change in people with neuromuscular or movement-related conditions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–110 - NCT05232604Recruiting
Exercise vs local pain exercises for jaw and neck pain
This study compares two types of treatment: aerobic exercise versus exercises aimed at the painful jaw/neck area. It may help people with long-term jaw and neck pain by testing which approach improves pain and function.
Osnabrück, Lower SaxonyAges 18–60 - NCT06400043Recruiting
Walking while thinking in kids with coordination disorder
This study looks at how walking and thinking at the same time (dual-tasking) affects children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). It may help understand why multitasking can be harder for some kids and lead to better support strategies.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 7–17 - NCT04421248RecruitingPhase 4
Testing blood or brain markers in kids with ADHD
This Phase 4 study checks whether certain markers change in the brain/body when children with ADHD take methylphenidate (a stimulant). It also compares these markers with healthy children to better understand ADHD.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 8–12 - NCT02688959Recruiting
Motor attention training for ADHD in university students
This study tests whether a structured training program can improve attention and focus in people with ADHD. It is designed for students enrolled at the University of Wisconsin–Madison who already have an ADHD diagnosis.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–23 - NCT05988515Recruiting

Study tests blood, scans, and genes in SBMA and healthy men
This study looks for early “biomarkers” (measurable signs) in the body using blood tests, imaging scans, and sometimes other procedures in men with genetically confirmed spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA). The results may help future drug studies by showing better ways to track disease changes over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05909267Recruiting
Testing dopamine-targeted treatment for depression and body inflammation
This study looks at how changing dopamine signaling may affect motivation and movement in people with major depression, and it also involves healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand whether dopamine changes can improve symptoms and how inflammation may relate to brain function.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for motor disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 95 recruiting motor disorders 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 motor disorders 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 motor disorders 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.
