Recruiting studies
- NCT05918679Recruiting
Study of brain activity during learning speech sounds
This study looks at how the brain helps you learn and produce speech, especially the “motor” skills involved in making speech sounds. You may be able to take part if you’re healthy and meet the language, hearing, and medication requirements.
Tempe, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04829071RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing brain and movement training after a one-sided stroke
This early research study looks at a way to improve thinking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. It may help people who still have problems using one side of their body to walk and learn new movement skills.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 45–85 - NCT07455461Recruiting
Brain activity during new motor skill learning
This trial uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see how the brain changes when learning a new movement. It is for healthy, right-handed adults who can safely receive TMS.
LoosAges 18–35 - NCT04784832Recruiting
Brain-magnetic training study to improve movement learning
This study tests whether a brain-magnetic (TMS) training approach can improve how people learn and control movements. It’s done in healthy adults to understand how mental training affects motor learning.
DijonAges 18–60 - NCT06556043Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve ankle control in adults with and without stroke
This study uses mild brain stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can help middle-aged and older adults—both healthy and those who have had a stroke—learn ankle movements better. It tests whether stimulating different brain regions can improve motor skills and brain connections.
TaipeiAges 40–80 - NCT07054840Recruiting
Pain and walking learning in older adults
This study looks at how pain affects learning to walk on a special treadmill that moves each leg at a different speed. It's for healthy older adults who want to understand how pain might change the way they learn new walking patterns.
Newark, DelawareAges 55–90 - NCT07304375Recruiting
Exercise and sleep effects on learning and abilities in MS
This trial tests how combining exercise and sleep monitoring can improve motor learning and daily function in people with early relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. It may help you move better and feel more capable in daily life.
CopenhagenAges 18–70 - NCT03974750Recruiting
Robotics training for arm skills after stroke
This study tests whether a robotic training program can help people relearn arm and hand skills after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to compare learning and movement changes.
Yvoir, NamurAges 18–90 - NCT06478303Recruiting
Brain circuits for language and movement learning
This study uses brain imaging and stimulation to see how the brain connects language and movement. It may help improve how we learn motor skills and understand language.
Grenoble, GrenobAges 18–40 - NCT05296408Recruiting
Arm exoskeleton rehab for chronic stroke weakness
This trial tests a wearable arm exoskeleton that uses your muscle signals to help rehab a weak arm after stroke. It may help improve arm movement by pairing training with this device, but you must meet specific movement, skin, and scan-safety requirements.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–89 - NCT06491823Recruiting
Speech learning and memory study
This study tests how people learn and remember new speech patterns. You will participate in speech tasks while an MRI scans your brain activity.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–40 - NCT05960331Recruiting
Study how choice affects learning movement in Parkinson’s
This study looks at whether having more control or “autonomy” helps you learn new movement tasks. It may help researchers find ways to improve physical therapy training for people with Parkinson’s.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT04312126Recruiting
How naps may improve motor learning after stroke or in healthy adults
This study tests whether taking a nap can improve how well people learn a movement task. It may help you understand how sleep affects “motor learning,” both in healthy volunteers and after stroke.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06467292Recruiting
Speech Learning and Memory Study
This study looks at how people learn and remember speech movements. It may help explain how we improve speaking skills over time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–40 - NCT06492252Recruiting
Speech learning and memory study
This study tests how well healthy adults learn and remember new speech patterns. You will say sounds or words, and we will measure how your brain controls speech.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–40 - NCT03726047Recruiting
Exercise and training to improve walking after chronic stroke
This study tests whether exercise plus motor learning training can improve walking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. You may be a good candidate if you can walk on your own and your stroke-related brain injury is not mainly in the cerebellum.
Newark, DelawareAges 18–85 - NCT04171856Recruiting
Robotic training to improve movement after stroke
This study tests a robotic rehabilitation program to help improve arm movement after an acute or chronic stroke (and separately studies people with transient global amnesia). It may help by measuring how well patients can learn and control movement during repeated robot-guided sessions.
Yvoir, NamurAges 18–90 - NCT04789616RecruitingPhase 2
Maraviroc plus stroke rehab to improve recovery
This study tests whether maraviroc (or a placebo) given soon after an ischemic stroke can improve how well people recover with inpatient rehabilitation. It may help some stroke survivors regain arm and/or leg function faster with the usual rehab therapies.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05106140Recruiting
Robots help measure arm learning after a new stroke
This study uses robotic devices to understand how your arm learns movement after a recent stroke. It may help researchers improve stroke rehabilitation by figuring out what kinds of practice work best.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05268861Recruiting
Understanding brain learning after stroke during arm training
This study looks at how thinking and brain processes affect learning to move your arm after a stroke. You may be asked to do arm tasks in a way that helps the researchers understand what helps or limits motor learning.
Laval, QuebecAges 40–75 - NCT05746260Recruiting
Testing sleep timing to improve arm learning after stroke
This study looks at how sleep may affect how well people relearn arm movements after a stroke. If you’re within a month of a stroke that affected your arm, your participation could help researchers understand better ways to support recovery.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT05864157Recruiting
Targeted training to improve walking in Parkinson’s disease
This study tests a targeted motor training approach to improve walking (gait) in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be considered if your walking is affected but you can already walk steadily for 10 minutes without help.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 50–80 - NCT06454656Recruiting
Walking practice for kids with Cerebral Palsy
This study tests a motor learning program to help children with Cerebral Palsy improve their walking. If your child has a walking goal and a caregiver who can help at home, this could be a good fit.
Balrath, MeathAges 6–17 - NCT06467305Recruiting
Speech training and memory study
This study tests how well people learn and remember speech movements. It helps researchers understand speech motor learning in healthy adults.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–40

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for motor learning?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 38 recruiting motor learning 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 learning 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 learning 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.
