Recruiting studies
- NCT04750551Recruiting
Breathing stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
This trial studies a breathing-related stimulation method (called BreEStim) to help improve arm and hand movement after stroke. It may help people who still have muscle stiffness in the hand and arm months after a stroke.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06029062Recruiting
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the brain can help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be an option if you can still slightly move your fingers.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT04750564Recruiting
BreEStim to help arm movement after long-term stroke
This pilot study tests a type of nerve stimulation (BreEStim) to improve arm and finger movement in people with chronic stroke-related stiffness. It may help if you have persistent, measurable muscle tightness and are medically stable.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT04752319Recruiting
Breathing-based stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
This pilot study tests a breathing-related stimulation approach (called BreEStim) to improve arm and hand movement in people with chronic stroke. It may help reduce stiffness and improve motor control, especially if you still have moderate movement difficulty.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06065384Recruiting
Arm training for recovery after recent spinal cord injury
This trial tests a type of arm and hand exercise training to see if it helps the brain and nerves recover after a recent spinal cord injury in the neck. It may help people who have some movement left in their arms or hands.
AntwerpAges 16–90 - NCT04574037Recruiting
Predicting arm recovery after stroke
This study tries to predict how well your arm movement may improve after a stroke. It uses brain and/or nerve testing (like MRI and TMS) and could help doctors plan the best rehabilitation for you.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07369648Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation plus rehab for stroke recovery
This trial tests if a treatment that uses magnetic pulses on the head (called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) combined with physical therapy can help improve movement and daily activities after a stroke. It is for people who had their first ischemic stroke and have weakness on one side.
HanoiAges 18–80 - NCT07439367Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
This study tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation to help people with arm weakness after a stroke improve their movement and daily function.
Carouge, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06483230Recruiting
Arm recovery program for stroke survivors
This study tests a new way to help stroke survivors improve arm and hand movement. If you had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have moderate arm weakness, you may be able to join.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07814313RecruitingPhase 2
Paired stimulation to improve leg movement after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether pairing nerve stimulation with voluntary leg movements can boost recovery of leg function after a spinal cord injury. If you have some voluntary leg movement but still struggle with walking, this therapy might help strengthen those signals and improve stepping.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 19–85 - NCT05914038Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation to improve arm recovery after stroke
This trial studies whether personalized rTMS (a noninvasive brain stimulation) can help improve arm and hand strength after a recent stroke. It may help people who still have weaker upper-limb movement within the first few months after stroke.
Taipei County, TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07661849Recruiting
Comparing remote vs. in-person arm therapy after stroke
This trial compares two types of therapy—telehealth sessions at home versus in-person sessions—to help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It aims to see if remote therapy works as well as coming to the clinic.
El Paso, TexasAges 21 years+ - NCT07629674Recruiting
Video Therapy to Help Leg Movement Recovery After Stroke
This study tests whether watching specially designed videos can help improve leg strength and walking ability in people recovering from stroke. You'll receive this video therapy alongside your regular rehabilitation care.
Saint-EtienneAges 18–80 - NCT06847295Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for standing and walking after paralysis
This trial tests if a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord, combined with daily therapy, can help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain some ability to stand or walk. It also looks at reducing muscle spasms and improving quality of life.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–50 - NCT05591196Recruiting
Electrical spinal stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment meant to help people regain hand and arm movement after a stroke. You would attend frequent therapy-style sessions, and the team would track your arm function over about eight months.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–80 - NCT07266662Recruiting
Sensory aids and brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This study tests if adding sensory aids or brain stimulation can improve arm and hand movement for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It may help if you have some movement but not full use of your arm.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–56 - NCT06906588Recruiting
Robot arm therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests if using a robot to help with arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago. The therapy is for the weaker arm and aims to help you regain strength and control.
Cassino, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07132021Recruiting
Ear nerve stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive ear stimulation device to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke in the last 5 years and still have arm weakness.
Recife, PernambucoAges 18–75 - NCT07113990Recruiting
Electroacupuncture and brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether combining two therapies—electroacupuncture (needles with mild electric current) and rTMS (a magnetic pulse to the brain)—can help you regain movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke less than 6 months ago and are still working on motor recovery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 40–75 - NCT07073235Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help leg movement after chronic stroke
This trial is testing if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called iTBS, can improve leg movement in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some weakness on one side.
StockholmAges 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+ - NCT06604143Recruiting
Hand and finger recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a hand exercise program can improve movement in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It aims to help you regain control of your hand and fingers.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19–80 - NCT06381388Recruiting
Brain connection study for arm recovery after stroke
This study looks at how the two sides of your brain work together to help your arm recover after a stroke. It uses brain stimulation (TMS) and MRI scans to understand brain healing and may help guide future treatments.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06506279Recruiting
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a new brain stimulation device to help people recover arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for those who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have moderate arm weakness.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for motor recovery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 46 recruiting motor recovery 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 recovery 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 recovery 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.
