Spinal cord stimulation to improve hand function after tetraplegia
This trial tests whether a special device that stimulates the spinal cord can help people with long-lasting neck spinal cord injuries recover useful hand movement and grip strength. It may help your nervous system communicate better so daily hand tasks become easier.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT06815601Recruiting
Brain stimulation for better limb function after spinal cord injury
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation method can improve arm and hand function in people with spinal cord injury, as well as in healthy individuals. The goal is to find a safe and effective way to boost recovery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT07433023RecruitingPhase 2
Spinal stimulation and drug therapy for motor skills in cerebral palsy
This trial tests if combining spinal cord stimulation with a drug called 5-azacitidine can improve movement and muscle control in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to help with daily activities like walking or using hands.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 4–17 - NCT07446114Recruiting
Brain-computer interface trial for ALS (Canada)
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) device that may help people with ALS or motor neuron disease regain some control over their environment. It involves implanting the device in a blood vessel in the brain.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07533903Recruiting
Brain-Computer Interface for Arm Control in Paralysis
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) device designed to help people with severe arm paralysis—from conditions like ALS or stroke—regain some ability to control their arms. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into arm movements, potentially helping you perform daily activities.
MelbourneAges 21 years+ - NCT06303869Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for speech after stroke
This study tests if deep brain stimulation (a small device implanted in the brain) can improve speech and arm movement after a stroke that affected the deeper parts of the brain. It is designed for people who have trouble speaking clearly (dysarthria) from their stroke.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT07404761Recruiting
Moving your arm after stroke or TBI
This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses and augmented reality (a computer overlay on real life) to help people who have arm or hand weakness after a recent stroke or brain injury regain movement.
HaifaAges 18 years+ - NCT07733726Enrolling by invitation
Dual-Task Mouth and Memory Training for Oral Frailty
This study tests a program that combines mouth exercises with memory tasks to see if it can improve both chewing, swallowing, and thinking skills in people who have oral frailty and some memory decline.
KowloonAges 50 years+ - NCT07432789Recruiting
Testing a motion app for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests a smartphone app that measures how children with cerebral palsy move. It aims to see if the app can accurately track motor abilities, which could help doctors and families monitor progress more easily.
DijonAges 6–18 - NCT04706234Recruiting
Check swallowing and voice function in neurodegenerative diseases
This study looks at how well the throat and voice-related functions work in people with certain long-term brain or nerve conditions. It uses a specific throat exam during FEES to better understand swallowing and laryngopharyngeal (throat-area) function.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT06410014Recruiting
Assessing overall health in patients with complex needs
This study tests a method for evaluating overall functioning in patients who have complex health problems. It aims to help doctors better understand your situation and improve care.
FrederiksbergAges 18 years+ - NCT07073248Recruiting
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS to see if it can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It might help you regain some function in your weaker arm.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT05632120Enrolling by invitation
Testing how COPD affects daily movement and participation
This study looks at how chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may affect your body function, walking, and ability to take part in everyday life. It may help researchers understand what support or therapies could improve daily activities.
Istanbul, Fatih/İstanbulAges 35–80 - NCT06662955Recruiting
Exercise with sound cues after ACL reconstruction
This study tests if adding sounds (like a metronome beat) to your rehab exercises helps your leg muscles work better after ACL reconstruction. It is for athletes who had their ACL surgery within the past 2 weeks and are ready to start moving.

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.
