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.

Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT06945211Recruiting
Mirror therapy for arm movement after stroke
This study tests whether doing arm exercises while watching the reflection of your good arm in a mirror can help improve movement and function in your affected arm after a stroke.
IslamabadAges 45 years+ - 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+ - NCT07078565Recruiting
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 - NCT07034547Recruiting
Botox for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a Botox (botulinum toxin) injection can improve arm and leg movement in children with cerebral palsy. It is for kids ages 8–17 who have stiffness mainly on one side and can walk well.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 8–17 - NCT06973590Recruiting
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 - NCT06883266Recruiting
Brain stimulation for movement and fatigue in Parkinson's
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help improve movement and reduce fatigue in people with Parkinson's disease. It's an option for those who are not using deep brain stimulation and don't have certain other health conditions.
Fargo, North DakotaAges Any age - NCT06871878Recruiting
Physiotherapy with telerehab after stroke
This trial tests a physiotherapy program that includes some sessions done at home using video calls. It aims to see if this extra therapy time can help improve arm and leg movement after a stroke.
BothwellAges 16 years+ - NCT06873386Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for glute weakness after back pain
This study tests a non-surgical treatment using a small needle to send gentle electrical pulses to the glute (buttock) muscles. It is for people who have had low back pain in the past and now have weak glute muscles.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06838013Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to improve leg movement after stroke
This trial tests a new way to help people with stroke move their legs better by combining electrical stimulation on the back and leg. If you have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk with or without a cane, this treatment might help strengthen ankle muscles and make walking easier.
Hong KongAges 50–85 - NCT06629428RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of ublituximab for walking and movement in multiple sclerosis

Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–55 - NCT06532123Recruiting
Study on improving muscle control for bowel leakage
This trial tests a treatment to strengthen the muscles that control bowel movements in people with weak anal sphincters. It may help those who have trouble holding in stool or gas.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06011018Recruiting
Mirror Therapy with Electrical Stimulation or Sound Beats after Stroke
This study tests if combining mirror therapy with either gentle electrical stimulation or special sound beats can help improve leg movement and brain activity after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke at least 6 months ago and have some movement in their leg.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–80 - NCT06038929Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation and stomach function study
This study looks at how vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) affects how your stomach works, like emptying and stretching. It may help researchers understand the digestive side effects of VNS in people who already have a VNS device for epilepsy or depression.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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 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.
