This study tests whether a gentle arm movement training program can help keep your thinking skills sharp as you age. It's for healthy older adults who have no memory, heart, or other major health problems.
Derby, DerbyshireAges 65–85 - NCT06875895Recruiting
Motor imagery training for partial rotator cuff tears
This trial tests whether mental practice of shoulder movements can reduce pain and improve function in people with a partial rotator cuff tear. If you have shoulder pain that hasn't gone away after 4 weeks, this could be an option.
KütahyaAges 18–65 - NCT07095062Recruiting
EEG brain mapping study for Friedreich's ataxia
This study uses an EEG (a painless test that records your brain's electrical activity) to map the brain connections in people with Friedreich's ataxia. It aims to better understand how the condition affects the brain.
Conegliano, TrevisoAges 8–60 - NCT06947343Recruiting
Action observation vs motor relearning for stroke balance
This study compares two types of therapy—watching actions and a standard motor relearning program—to see which helps stroke survivors improve their balance and walking. If you are able to stand briefly, you may benefit from this extra rehab.
IslamabadAges 45 years+ - NCT07657182RecruitingPhase 4
Study comparing two nerve grafts for arm or hand recovery
This study tests a new nerve graft (Avance) against the standard sural nerve graft (taken from your leg) for repairing cut nerves in the arm or hand. The goal is to see which helps you recover function better over 2 years.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06354790Recruiting
LAMA2-related dystrophy natural history study in children
This study follows children with LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy to learn how the condition changes over time. It does not test a new treatment, but helps researchers understand the disease better.
GarchesAges 2–15 - NCT06641271Enrolling by invitation
Vagus nerve stimulation with hand exercises for MS
This study tests if vagus nerve stimulation (a mild electrical pulse on the ear) combined with hand exercises can help repair the protective coating of your nerves and improve hand function in multiple sclerosis.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–70 - NCT06476782Recruiting
Motor learning and exercise for stroke recovery
This study tests a combined motor relearning program and aerobic exercise to improve balance and leg function in people recovering from a stroke that happened 1 to 5 months ago. If you qualify, you would receive this therapy to help with your standing stability and walking ability.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–70 - NCT07629856Recruiting
Dual-Task Training to Improve Balance After Stroke
This study tests whether doing balance exercises while performing mental tasks together can help stroke survivors improve their stability and walking ability. Many stroke patients struggle with balance, and this training aims to help them regain confidence and reduce fall risk.
Chak One Hundred Fifty-seven, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–75 - NCT07491484Recruiting
Physical function and quality of life in ALS patients
This trial measures how physical function affects daily life and well-being in people with ALS. It aims to understand how movement abilities impact patient-reported outcomes.
Salisbury, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06945185Recruiting
Motor imagery training for arm strength after stroke
This trial tests if imagining arm movements (motor imagery training) can help improve arm strength in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is a non-drug, mental practice approach that may help your brain relearn movement.
IslamabadAges 45 years+ - NCT06782464Recruiting
Freezing nerves for shoulder pain after stroke or brain injury
This trial tests if freezing certain nerves in the upper arm (cryoneurolysis) works as well as standard care for reducing shoulder pain and muscle tightness after a stroke or brain injury. It aims to improve function and ease caregiving tasks.
LuxembourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06806397Recruiting
Brain imaging study of arm weakness after stroke
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
MoscowAges 35–70 - NCT07055945Recruiting
Visual-motor training for arm function after stroke
This trial tests if a type of training that combines eye exercises with arm movements can help people who have had a stroke regain better use of their affected arm.
Ankara, TürkiyeAges 18–75 - NCT06498011Recruiting
Training to improve arm and hand function after stroke
This study tests a new type of training that combines thinking, feeling, and moving to help improve arm and hand function after a stroke.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07284810Enrolling by invitation

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.
