Stroke study: arm and language skills in Turkish speakers
This study looks at how arm movement, body control, and mental imagery (imagining movement without actually doing it) relate to Turkish language abilities after a stroke. It aims to understand how these functions work together to help recovery.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT05615610Recruiting
Electrical stimulation therapy for brain and arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether painless electrical nerve stimulation placed on the skin can improve thinking (cognitive function) and arm movement in people living with long-term stroke. If you qualify, you may receive this non-drug therapy and be assessed for changes in memory/thinking and upper-limb movement.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT03979235Recruiting
Rehab effectiveness programs for people after stroke
This trial is testing rehabilitation programs by studying how well they work for people with movement problems after a stroke. You may be able to join if you can complete the rehab assessment and follow testing instructions.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06588894Recruiting
Motor imagery and body awareness in type 2 diabetes
This study looks at how well people with type 2 diabetes can imagine movements, sense their body, and think clearly. It aims to understand how these abilities are affected by diabetes.
Kütahya, CentralAges 18–65 - NCT07612371Recruiting
Brain Training for Cerebral Palsy Motor Skills
This study tests whether imagining movements and watching others move can help children with cerebral palsy (a condition affecting one side of the body) improve their motor function and everyday abilities. Researchers want to see if these mental and visual techniques work better than standard care.
IstanbulAges 7–16 - NCT06497920Recruiting
Brain stimulation for motor skills in autistic adults
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called rTMS can improve motor skills (like coordination and movement) in autistic adults. If you have autism and notice challenges with motor function, this study may help.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–40 - NCT07134569Recruiting
VR motor training for adults with autism
This study tests if virtual reality (VR) training can help improve motor skills in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). You will be asked to complete a 6-week VR program to see if it helps your movement and coordination.
TaipeiAges 18–45 - NCT02329652Recruiting
Bionic stimulation to help arm and trunk movement after spinal injury
This study tests a neuroprosthetic system that uses controlled stimulation to help restore movement in the arm and trunk after a spinal cord injury. If you qualify, it may help you regain practical strength and control for everyday tasks.
Cleveland, OhioAges 17 years+ - NCT07339813Recruiting
Understanding brain changes after stroke with advanced MRI
This study uses ultra-powerful MRI to see how the brain reorganizes after a stroke. It may help explain why some people recover arm movement and guide future therapies.
Gif-sur-Yvette, Île-de-France RegionAges 18–70 - NCT07056348Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve movement in Parkinson's or tremor
This study tests brain stimulation in a region called VOP/VIM to see if it can improve motor function. It is for people with movement disorders who are already getting deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT06258538Recruiting
Robot-assisted arm therapy and exercise after stroke
This study tests if combining arm exercises with two types of robot-assisted therapy helps people who have had a stroke improve their arm movement, daily activities, and quality of life. It is designed for individuals with moderate arm weakness.
Taoyuan, TaoyuanAges 20–75 - NCT07287215Recruiting
Motor imagery and daily function in diplegic cerebral palsy
This study tests whether imagining movements (motor imagery) can help improve everyday skills like walking and playing in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. It compares the effects of motor imagery training with standard physical therapy.
BingoelAges 5–18 - NCT06838403Recruiting
Reflex therapy for children with cerebral palsy and swallowing issues
This study tests if a special reflex therapy helps children with cerebral palsy improve mouth movements and reduce drooling, using a type of exercise called Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for motor function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 150 recruiting motor function 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 function 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 function 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.
