BronAges 5–50 - NCT06105099Recruiting
Speech therapy for children with cleft palate
This study tests a special speech therapy program for children with a cleft palate who have speech errors. The therapy focuses on improving speech sounds and seeing if the improvements last over time.
GhentAges 4–12 - NCT07248254Recruiting
Effects of a therapy on motor skills and sleep in autistic children
This study tests if a therapy called DPPT helps improve motor skills and sleep in children with autism who also have sensory processing issues. It may be a good fit for children who struggle with movement and sleep.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 6–12 - NCT07271927Recruiting
Light therapy for Parkinson's motor and thinking changes
This study tests whether shining light on the whole body (photobiomodulation) can help with movement and thinking problems in Parkinson's disease. It is for people in early to moderate stages who can walk independently.
Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-doAges 40 years+ - NCT07404241Recruiting
Brain activity linked to movement and mood swings in Parkinson's
This study looks at brain signals related to motor and psychiatric changes in people with Parkinson's who are scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to better understand why symptoms fluctuate and how DBS may help.
GenevaAges 18–80 - NCT07554833Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Motor and Memory Skills
This study tests whether repeated magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the brain can help improve movement and thinking problems in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure how the treatment affects your motor control and cognitive function over the study period.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50–90 - NCT07365566Recruiting
Pain and sleep behavior disorder study
This study looks at pain in people with a sleep condition called idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), where people act out their dreams. It also includes a group of people with narcolepsy who have similar sleep issues. The goal is to understand how pain relates to these conditions.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT03288220Recruiting
Brain stimulation trial to improve arm movement
This trial studies whether a specific kind of non-painful brain stimulation (TMS) can improve arm and hand movement. It tests this in healthy volunteers and in people recovering from stroke.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04312126Recruiting
How naps may improve motor learning after stroke or in healthy adults
This study tests whether taking a nap can improve how well people learn a movement task. It may help you understand how sleep affects “motor learning,” both in healthy volunteers and after stroke.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06035809Recruiting
Smart treatment study for PTSD using brain activity feedback
This study tests a new therapy called SMART, which uses brain imaging to help regulate arousal linked to PTSD. It aims to see if combining brain feedback with therapy reduces PTSD symptoms.
London, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT06111898Recruiting
Understanding movement in infants at risk
This study looks at how the brain and body work together to control movement in infants who are at high risk for developmental issues. It may help find early signs of motor problems.
GenevaAges 8 months–1 year - 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 - NCT07167732Recruiting
CTNNB1 Syndrome Natural History Study
This study follows people with CTNNB1 syndrome over time to better understand the condition. It does not test any new treatment—just collects information to help future research.
SydneyAges Any age - NCT05878002Recruiting
Tests thinking, movement, and sleep after clot removal stroke
This study looks at thinking skills, body movement, and sleep patterns in adults after a specific type of stroke treated with a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors better understand what changes happen after treatment and how to measure them.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT04754906Recruiting
Study how thinking abilities affect planning movement
This study looks at how well people can plan and control movements, and whether thinking ability affects that process. It compares healthy younger adults, healthy older adults, and older adults with mild cognitive problems.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06764810Recruiting
Motor skills and senses in children 4–11
This study looks at how motor skills (like catching, jumping) and sensory processing (how the brain handles sights, sounds, touch) are related in children with and without certain developmental differences. The goal is to better understand these connections to help support children's development.
VicAges 4–11 - NCT06605612Enrolling by invitation
Falls risk test for people with muscle and nerve conditions
This study is creating a test to predict falls in people with neuromuscular disorders. You will fill out a questionnaire about your fall risk.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for motor disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 96 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.
