Movement Disorders clinical trials in Maryland
We’re tracking 10 recruiting movement disorders studies with a site in Maryland, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT05413291Recruiting
Study of movement disorders over time
This study follows people (or family members of people) who have or might have a movement disorder to better understand how symptoms change over time. You may be asked to attend study visits and complete study procedures for the duration of the study.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT00018889Recruiting
Understanding Movement Disorders Through Genetics and Traits
This research study helps scientists understand how genes and family traits connect to movement disorders like Parkinson's disease or tremor. You may be asked to answer questions about your symptoms, provide family history, and possibly have an MRI scan to help researchers learn more about these conditions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT00001208Recruiting
Botulinum toxin for involuntary movement and muscle disorders
This study tests botulinum toxin (a medication that relaxes muscles) to treat various involuntary movements like tremors, muscle spasms, or uncontrolled facial movements. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT02014246Recruiting
Genetic study of movement disorders and dementia
This study looks at DNA (genetic material) in people with movement disorders or dementia, and in some family members or healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand why these conditions happen and how genes may contribute.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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 - NCT06498596Recruiting
New ways to study movement in kids with movement disorders
This study tests new ways to measure movement (like walking and joint motion) in children and young adults. It's for people with cerebral palsy and healthy volunteers, to better understand movement differences.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–25 - NCT02119611Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s, dystonia, or tremor
This study tests deep brain stimulation (DBS), a therapy that sends electrical signals to the brain, for movement problems like Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremor. It may help people whose symptoms are not controlled enough with medications, or who already have a DBS device and need ongoing management.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01581580Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation surgery for movement disorders
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation surgery can help people with certain movement problems, chosen by a specialized team. You may be considered if medicines (or other treatments) aren’t controlling your symptoms well enough or if the condition causes major disability.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT05539196Recruiting
Registry for Exablate treatment in Parkinson’s with medication problems
This trial is a real-world registry that follows people with Parkinson’s who are planning to get an Exablate 4000 procedure (a focused ultrasound treatment) for one-sided symptoms that are difficult to control with medication. It mainly checks outcomes and safety over time, helping doctors understand how well this treatment works in everyday care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–99 - NCT05726591Recruiting
Robotic exoskeleton study to improve walking in children
This study looks at how safely using a pediatric robotic exoskeleton over the long term can improve how children walk. It’s for children ages 3–17 who have certain movement or spine-related conditions and who can meet walking and joint-movement requirements.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–17

What taking part in a movement disorders 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 movement disorders clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 10 recruiting movement disorders studies with a site in Maryland, 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 movement disorders study in Maryland?
- 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 Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, 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 movement disorders 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 movement disorders studies open in Maryland 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.
