Recruiting studies near Washington, D.C.
- 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.
Georgetown, District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07204977RecruitingPhase 1
Acamprosate for ALS with C9orf72 gene change
This trial tests a medication called acamprosate to see if it can slow down ALS in people who have a specific genetic change (C9orf72). If you have this gene change and ALS, this study might offer a new treatment option.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT00004568Recruiting
Study of inherited neurological conditions
This study is looking at people with inherited (genetic) neurological conditions, as well as their family members, to better understand these diseases. Participants will receive a thorough evaluation, which may help with diagnosis and research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT01900132Recruiting
Electrical muscle testing for neuromuscular disorders
This study uses a quick, painless electrical test to measure muscle health in people with nerve or muscle disorders and in healthy volunteers. It aims to learn how these measurements change over time, which may help diagnose and monitor these conditions better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–110 - NCT04944940Recruiting
Study tests blood, scans, and genes in SBMA and healthy men
This study looks for early “biomarkers” (measurable signs) in the body using blood tests, imaging scans, and sometimes other procedures in men with genetically confirmed spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA). The results may help future drug studies by showing better ways to track disease changes over time.

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.
