Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT07698405Recruiting
Advanced rehab technology for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether advanced technology-based rehabilitation can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and use of their affected arm. It may be a good option if you have had a single stroke and still have some arm weakness but no severe muscle tightness or memory problems.
Fiorenzuola d'Arda, PiacenzaAges 18 years+ - NCT06681610Recruiting
Testing pulse stimulation to improve movement in ALS
This trial studies if a non-invasive pulse stimulation can help people with ALS move better. It aims to see if this treatment can improve motor function.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 21–80 - NCT06698380Recruiting
Mirror therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether using a mirror to create the illusion of movement can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. It may be a good option if you have limited arm movement and can follow simple instructions.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 45–65 - NCT06696469Recruiting
Virtual reality for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests if a virtual reality system called BeCure can help people who had a stroke recover arm movement. It's for people who are still in the early to later stages of recovery (not the very first days) and have some movement and sitting balance.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT06709950Recruiting
Art therapy for movement recovery after stroke
This study tests art therapy (like painting or clay) to help improve movement and emotional well-being after a recent stroke. It is designed for people in the subacute phase (2 weeks to 3 months after their first stroke) who have mild to moderate physical challenges and can actively participate in creative activities.
Jiamusi, HeilongjiangAges 40–75 - NCT07611565Recruiting
Sensory therapy versus physical therapy for children with athetoid cerebral palsy
This study compares two types of therapy—sensory integration therapy (which uses activities to help the brain process movement and touch) and conventional physical therapy—to see which better improves movement and motor skills in children with athetoid cerebral palsy (a type of cerebral palsy affecting smooth, controlled movement).
Mansehra, KPKAges 6–12 - NCT07609407Recruiting
Pelvic Stability Training After Stroke for Leg Function
This study tests whether special exercises focused on stabilizing your pelvis (hip area) can help improve leg strength and movement after a stroke. The training is designed for people in the early recovery phase who are learning to stand and walk again.
Faisalabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT06713252Recruiting
Art therapy for stroke recovery
This study tests whether art therapy can help improve non-motor symptoms (like mood and thinking) during the early recovery phase after a stroke. Participants will attend art sessions while continuing their regular rehab.
Jiamusi, HeilongjiangAges 40–75 - NCT07562100Recruiting
AI-Powered Exercise Program for Oral Cancer Patients Returning to Work
This study tests a smartphone-based exercise and wellness program designed to help people recently diagnosed with oral cancer prepare their body and mind before treatment, with the goal of helping them return to work faster and more safely. Researchers will track whether the program improves recovery and reduces healthcare costs.
TaipeiAges 20–70 - NCT07559006Recruiting

This study looks at how shoulder pain affects arm movement, balance, and daily activities in people who've had a stroke. Researchers want to understand the connection between shoulder pain and physical recovery after stroke.
Kütahya, KütahyaAges 18–80 - NCT07488429Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus therapy for leg function in cerebral palsy
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) with physical therapy can help improve leg movement and reduce muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than therapy alone.
AnkaraAges 5–18 - NCT07425756Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for arm movement after stroke
This trial tests whether combining two types of nerve stimulation (one on the ear, one on the arm) can improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It's for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have some but not full use of their affected arm.
KowloonAges 50–75 - NCT07428161Recruiting
Task-oriented circuit training for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether a specific type of exercise program, called task-oriented circuit training, can improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke. It may be an option if you have some movement in your wrist and fingers.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for motor function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 145 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.
