Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–17 - NCT06802094Recruiting
Balance and movement strategies in children with DCD
This study compares how children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder (a condition affecting motor skills) move their bodies during balance tasks. Researchers will use special tests and motion sensors to see different movement patterns, which could help design better therapy for kids with balance or coordination challenges.
Diepenbeek, LimburgAges 7–12 - NCT06912841Enrolling by invitation
Deep brain stimulation for genetic movement disorders
This trial is for people of any age with a genetic movement disorder who are getting or considering deep brain stimulation (DBS). It tries to match the best DBS settings for each person.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT07351955Recruiting
New brain stimulation study for children with tic disorders
This trial tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method for children aged 5 to 18 with tic disorders who haven't been treated before. It aims to see if this new approach can help reduce tics safely.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 5 months–18 years - NCT07446530Enrolling by invitation
Gamified movement for kids with sensory integration issues
This study looks at whether fun, game-based exercises can help children with sensory integration issues (like trouble with balance, body awareness, or touch sensitivity). If your child qualifies, they will take part in a gamified movement program designed to improve these skills.
Changchun, JilinAges 3–6 - NCT06122675Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for movement problems in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (a small device placed in the brain that sends electrical pulses) can help improve movement problems in children and young adults with a certain type of cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it can reduce involuntary movements like twisting or jerking.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 7–25 - NCT06016296Recruiting
Movement and storytelling for kids aged 3-6
This study tests whether combining movement activities and storytelling can improve physical performance in children ages 3 to 6. It is designed for kids who are typically developing and can participate in group sessions at their school or daycare.
San Clemente, Maule RegionAges 3–6 - NCT00001252Recruiting
Movement and Motion Study Database
This study builds a database of how people move and walk—both healthy volunteers and those with movement disorders. Researchers use this information to better understand neuromuscular conditions and improve treatment options.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–99 years - NCT06278961Recruiting
Filming Baby Movements at Home
This study will record your baby's natural movements using a home video taken on your smartphone. It aims to learn how babies learn to move, whether they are healthy or have certain medical conditions.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 2 months–5 months - NCT07363603RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tianasen for GNAO1-related epilepsy and movement disorders
This trial tests a new drug called Tianasen for children with a specific GNAO1 gene change who have seizures and movement problems that haven't improved with standard treatments. The drug is given via a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and aims to reduce symptoms.
MoscowAges 1–14 - NCT07727837Recruiting
Pelvic floor health in children with poop problems
This trial looks at how defecation disorders (trouble pooping or soiling) in children affect their quality of life, walking, balance, and physical function. It aims to understand the links between these problems and the pelvic floor muscles.
Izmir, BornovaAges 6–18 - NCT06951854RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug for children with autism
This trial tests a new medicine (NV01-A02) in children aged 6 to 15 who have autism. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and helpful for managing autism symptoms.

Nerve block effects on diaphragm in kids having arm surgery
This study tests a special numbing shot (nerve block) around the shoulder to see how it affects the muscle that helps kids breathe (the diaphragm) during and after arm surgery. It may help doctors choose safer pain methods for school-aged children.
ShanghaiAges 6–12 - NCT07701694Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for movement disorders in children?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 29 recruiting movement disorders in children 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 movement disorders in children 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 movement disorders in children 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.
