Movement Disorders clinical trials in Massachusetts
We’re tracking 7 recruiting movement disorders studies with a site in Massachusetts, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT06585618Recruiting
Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation Registry
This study creates a list of children who already have or plan to get Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to see how it helps with movement problems. Joining helps doctors learn more about how DBS works in kids.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–18 years - NCT06585605Recruiting
Study of epilepsy and movement disorder genes in children
This study looks at children with epilepsy and movement disorders to better understand the genes involved. It aims to help doctors recognize and treat these conditions more effectively.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–18 years - NCT06967727Recruiting
Registry study for epilepsy and movement disorders
This study is creating a registry to track the health of people who have specific genetic changes that cause epilepsy and uncontrolled movements (dyskinesia). It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how they change over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–30 years - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05354622Recruiting
Genetic testing study for inherited leg stiffness
This study looks at genes (DNA) to understand an inherited condition that causes gradually worsening leg stiffness. It may help researchers learn what causes the condition and potentially guide future care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 month–30 years - NCT04071847Recruiting
Study tracking results after Abbott deep brain stimulator surgery
This study follows people who are getting a new Abbott deep brain stimulator (DBS) device or replacing the battery/implantable pulse generator to see how outcomes change over time. It mainly applies to certain DBS targets and diagnoses, and it uses follow-up visits to track results.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - 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.

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 Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 7 recruiting movement disorders studies with a site in Massachusetts, 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 Massachusetts?
- 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 Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, 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 Massachusetts 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.
