Recruiting studies
- NCT06391086Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for arm recovery after recent stroke
This study tests if focused ultrasound (a noninvasive sound wave therapy) can help improve arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It is for people whose stroke occurred within the last three months and who still have some arm weakness.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06212219Recruiting
EEG brain training to help arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can improve arm movement in people who recently had a stroke. It uses an EEG cap to measure your brain activity while you do arm exercises, helping you relearn how to move your affected arm.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - NCT05902910Recruiting
Robot therapy to improve arm movement after long-term stroke
This trial tests whether a therapy robot (the Luna EMG rehabilitation robot) can improve arm movement and be acceptable to use for people with chronic stroke. It focuses on helping the arm recover function over time and seeing how well patients tolerate the approach.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT05600374Recruiting
Brain stimulation timed to brain rhythms after recent stroke
This trial tests a special brain-stimulation approach that targets your brain’s natural 8–12 Hz rhythm to improve arm and hand recovery after stroke. It’s designed for people in the early days after an ischemic stroke, when motor recovery is still changing quickly.
Frankfurt a.M., Frankfurt a.M.Ages 18 years+ - NCT04312269Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus memory practice to improve stroke arm recovery
This trial tests whether a combined therapy—MyoCI plus memory “reactivation”—can improve arm movement recovery after stroke. It’s meant for people with ongoing arm weakness at least 6 months after their first stroke.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 21–100 - NCT07604948Recruiting
Blood Flow Restriction Training for Basketball Recovery
This study tests whether briefly restricting blood flow to the legs (using an arm cuff on the thigh) can help male basketball players recover faster and improve leg strength after games. Researchers want to see if this technique, called ischemic preconditioning, reduces fatigue and speeds healing.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–25 - NCT03485040Recruiting
Rehab study for arm weakness after stroke
This study tests a rehabilitation approach to help people recover arm movement after an ischemic or bleeding stroke. You may be able to join if you’re currently an inpatient in the stroke neurology unit and have arm weakness but are medically stable and able to follow simple instructions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT04755699RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Electrical stimulation study for hand or limb movement recovery
This early-stage study tests whether regular, skin-based electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis or weakness regain movement. You would attend frequent clinic sessions for months, while the team checks your ability to follow instructions and your safety.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT07657182RecruitingPhase 4
Study comparing two nerve grafts for arm or hand recovery
This study tests a new nerve graft (Avance) against the standard sural nerve graft (taken from your leg) for repairing cut nerves in the arm or hand. The goal is to see which helps you recover function better over 2 years.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07698405Recruiting
Advanced rehab technology for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether advanced technology-based rehabilitation can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and use of their affected arm. It may be a good option if you have had a single stroke and still have some arm weakness but no severe muscle tightness or memory problems.
Fiorenzuola d'Arda, PiacenzaAges 18 years+ - NCT06818201Recruiting
Brain stimulation for ACL surgery recovery
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation called tDCS can improve how your brain controls leg muscles and speeds up recovery after ACL surgery.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 16–40 - NCT07631078Recruiting
Transcranial magnetic stimulation plus therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation combined with physical therapy to help people who have had a stroke regain arm and hand movement. It's for individuals who have some movement but could still improve, at least a year after their stroke.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07833189Recruiting
Imagery training for knee recovery after ACL surgery
This study tests whether adding mental imagery exercises to standard rehabilitation can improve knee function and brain changes after ACL reconstruction. It may help you recover better by strengthening the connection between your mind and your knee movements.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT06641271Enrolling by invitation
Vagus nerve stimulation with hand exercises for MS
This study tests if vagus nerve stimulation (a mild electrical pulse on the ear) combined with hand exercises can help repair the protective coating of your nerves and improve hand function in multiple sclerosis.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–70 - NCT07056049Recruiting
Extra arm exercises after stroke
This trial tests whether adding more arm exercises early after a stroke helps people recover arm and hand movement. If you qualify, you would get extra motor training in addition to your regular therapy.
OfakimAges 18 years+ - NCT06709950Recruiting
Art therapy for movement recovery after stroke
This study tests art therapy (like painting or clay) to help improve movement and emotional well-being after a recent stroke. It is designed for people in the subacute phase (2 weeks to 3 months after their first stroke) who have mild to moderate physical challenges and can actively participate in creative activities.
Jiamusi, HeilongjiangAges 40–75 - NCT06713252Recruiting
Art therapy for stroke recovery
This study tests whether art therapy can help improve non-motor symptoms (like mood and thinking) during the early recovery phase after a stroke. Participants will attend art sessions while continuing their regular rehab.
Jiamusi, HeilongjiangAges 40–75 - NCT07400939Recruiting
Brain stimulation and hand movement training for stroke recovery
This trial tests if combining brain stimulation with watching hand movements can improve hand function in people who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago. It may help you regain better use of your affected hand.
Kota Kinabalu, SabahAges 18–59 - NCT05157282Recruiting
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 - NCT06638723Recruiting
Better walking after leg amputation
This study tests a new training program to help improve walking and balance for people with one leg amputation. You'll visit UNLV six times for practice sessions.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT07119827Recruiting
Personality traits and recovery after brain injury
This study looks at how your personality might affect recovery after a serious brain injury or stroke. You and a family member will answer a short personality questionnaire to see if certain traits are linked to better recovery.
Verona, VRAges 18–80 - NCT06885502Recruiting
Stroke rehab with motor and cognitive assistance
This trial tests a personalized system that helps stroke survivors improve arm movement and thinking skills. It uses a device that guides your arm and mind through exercises, and you may benefit if you had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have some arm function.

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.
