Motor Neuron Disease clinical trials in Massachusetts
We’re tracking 6 recruiting motor neuron disease studies with a site in Massachusetts — including Phase 1 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT05354622Recruiting
Genetic testing study for inherited leg stiffness
This study looks at genes (DNA) to understand an inherited condition that causes gradually worsening leg stiffness. It may help researchers learn what causes the condition and potentially guide future care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 month–30 years - NCT05966038Recruiting
Study of ALS and related movement nerve conditions
This study collects and stores medical information from people diagnosed with ALS or certain related conditions affecting movement. It may help researchers better understand how these illnesses change over time and improve future treatments.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT06885918Recruiting
ALS Research Collaborative study
This study is a research collaborative that collects information from people with ALS or their families. It aims to better understand the disease and find markers that could help develop treatments.
Watertown, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05137665Recruiting
Study tracks ALS and health markers over time at home
This study follows people with ALS and healthy volunteers to measure how specific body fluids, symptoms, and at-home tracking change over time. It may help researchers find early signs of disease changes and better ways to measure treatment effects.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06422208Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Parkinson's cell transplant trial using your own cells
This trial tests whether transplanting special dopamine-producing cells made from a patient's own skin cells can help treat Parkinson's disease. It is for people who have had Parkinson's for at least 5 years and still respond well to medication.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55–80 - NCT06687837RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell therapy for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests whether implanting your own stem cells (made into dopamine-producing brain cells) can improve Parkinson's motor symptoms. You would need to be a candidate for brain surgery and have a stable medication routine.

What taking part in a motor neuron disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there motor neuron disease clinical trials in Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 6 recruiting motor neuron disease studies with a site in Massachusetts, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a motor neuron disease study in Massachusetts?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a motor neuron disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New motor neuron disease studies open in Massachusetts regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
