Blood flow restriction and nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether combining blood flow restriction with mild electrical nerve stimulation can improve ankle and leg movement after a stroke. It may help you if you had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance on your own.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT07034547Recruiting
Botox for children with cerebral palsy

Tai Chi vs. Otago Exercises for Diabetic Nerve Pain
This study compares gentle Tai Chi exercises with a modified Otago exercise program to see which better helps with pain, balance, and movement in people with diabetic nerve pain. If you have had type 2 diabetes for at least 5 years and have chronic nerve pain, this trial may help you find relief and improve your mobility.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–80 - NCT07190092Recruiting
Brain stimulation for post-stroke muscle stiffness and movement
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (deep anterior cerebellar stimulation) to see if it can reduce muscle stiffness and improve movement in people who had a stroke 9–36 months ago and still have tightness or weakness that hasn't gotten better with therapy.
BydgoszczAges 18 years+ - NCT07257107Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation plus robot training for stroke recovery
This trial tests if combining a gentle ear nerve stimulation device with robot-assisted arm training can improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–70 - NCT07259577Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve arm movement, breathing, and quality of life in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It involves a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck during therapy sessions.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–70 - NCT07280104Recruiting
Infants with congenital hypothyroidism and development
This study looks at how babies with primary congenital hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone from birth) grow and develop after being treated. It helps doctors understand if treatment helps them reach normal milestones.
NiğdeAges 6 months–1.5 years - NCT07289191Recruiting
Spinal current stimulation for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18–75 - NCT07291687Recruiting
Test of tDCS for improving walking
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve movement and walking in people who have trouble with motor function. You can join if you're able to walk daily, with or without a walking aid, and don't have metal in your brain.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT07306221Recruiting
Balance training after ACL surgery using visual guides
This study tests if a special video-based balance training program helps people recover knee function better after ACL reconstruction surgery. It is designed for patients who had surgery within the past year using their own hamstring tendon.
BeijingAges 18–45 - NCT07402655Recruiting

Brain stimulation to improve movement in hereditary spastic paraplegia
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called neuromodulation) can improve walking, balance, and other movements in adults with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). It may be a good fit if you can walk with or without help, have stable spasticity medications, and don't have a pacemaker or epilepsy.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for motor function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 149 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.
