Recruiting studies
- NCT06553625Recruiting
RF ablation study for pain or CNS conditions
This study observes how well a Boston Scientific radiofrequency (RF) system works for treating pain or central nervous system (CNS) conditions. It helps researchers understand real-world benefits for patients scheduled for this procedure.
CologneAges Any age - NCT06596746Recruiting
Tracking markers for neurodegenerative diseases
This study tracks changes in people with Parkinson's disease, other movement disorders, or cognitive decline to find better ways to measure disease progression.
Cassino, FrosinoneAges 10 years+ - NCT06617884Recruiting
Home balance training for movement disorders
This study tests a home-based walking and balance training program for people with cerebellar ataxia or Parkinson's disease. The training is done at home, so you don't need to travel. The goal is to see if this simple exercise program can improve your walking and balance.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–75 - NCT06701851Recruiting
Brain study for movement disorder with PRRT2 gene change
This study uses brain scans to understand movement problems in people with a specific genetic change (PRRT2) that causes sudden, brief episodes of uncontrolled movements. It may help researchers find better ways to treat this condition.
ParisAges 18–75 - NCT06799923Recruiting
MRI-guided laser therapy for hard-to-treat tremor
This trial tests a new, less invasive treatment for severe tremor that hasn't responded to medication. It uses a laser guided by MRI to carefully target and treat the brain area causing tremor, as an alternative to traditional brain surgery.
SalouëlAges 18 years+ - NCT06821230Recruiting
Mindfulness for Parkinson's patients and their caregivers
This study tests whether a dyadic mindfulness program can help both people with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers manage negative emotions. You and your care partner would attend sessions together to learn mindfulness techniques.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06958341Recruiting
Brain and nerve disease registry with optional fluid collection
This study collects extra fluid from a spinal tap to learn more about brain and nerve diseases. It may help find better treatments in the future.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges Any age - NCT06999096Recruiting
Long-read gene testing for inherited movement disorders
This study uses a new DNA reading method to find hidden genetic causes of dystonia. It is for people with dystonia who had standard genetic testing that did not find a cause.
MontpellierAges Any age - NCT07212244Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for hard-to-treat tremor
This study uses a focused ultrasound treatment guided by MRI to calm hand tremors in people with essential tremor that hasn't responded to medication. It aims to improve daily life by reducing shaking without the need for surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 22 years+ - NCT07428447Recruiting
Skin test to predict Parkinson's risk in essential tremor
This study uses a skin biopsy to check for a protein linked to Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if people with essential tremor who have this protein are more likely to develop Parkinson's disease.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 50–85 - 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 - 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 - NCT06884956Enrolling by invitation
High-tech rehab effect on muscle MRI
This trial examines how high-tech rehabilitation for the lower leg affects muscle MRI results. It might help researchers understand if this type of therapy improves muscle condition.
Bosisio Parini, LCAges 8 years+ - NCT06841718Enrolling by invitation
Brain study of freezing in Parkinson's disease
This study uses brain imaging to understand why some people with Parkinson's suddenly feel like their feet are glued to the floor (freezing of gait). It may help find better treatments for this symptom.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06676501Enrolling by invitation
Second side focused ultrasound for essential tremor
This study tests whether a second focused ultrasound treatment on the other side of the brain can safely and effectively reduce tremor in people with essential tremor who already had one treatment. It's for those whose tremor is not well controlled by medication or previous treatments.
BeijingAges 22 years+ - NCT04638452Recruiting
Study of reactions during routine blood tests in autism
This study looks at how people with autism (and some without autism) react during a routine blood test. Researchers will watch and measure behavior and body responses to better understand distress and comfort during needle procedures.
BordeauxAges 6–65 - NCT07365566Recruiting
Pain and sleep behavior disorder study
This study looks at pain in people with a sleep condition called idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), where people act out their dreams. It also includes a group of people with narcolepsy who have similar sleep issues. The goal is to understand how pain relates to these conditions.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT04754906Recruiting
Study how thinking abilities affect planning movement
This study looks at how well people can plan and control movements, and whether thinking ability affects that process. It compares healthy younger adults, healthy older adults, and older adults with mild cognitive problems.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT04672551Recruiting
EMDR therapy for PTSD after a heart attack
This trial studies whether EMDR (a structured therapy that helps process distressing memories) can reduce PTSD symptoms in people who developed PTSD after a cardiac event. It may help you feel less overwhelmed by memories and stress related to the heart event.
ZurichAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT05820074Recruiting
Neural signals and walking changes in Parkinson’s patients
This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
Vitznau, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT06608706Recruiting
Integrated trauma treatment for psychosis
This trial tests a new way to treat trauma in people who have psychosis (like schizophrenia). It combines therapy for trauma with your usual care, and aims to help you feel less distressed by past traumatic events.
BergenAges 16 years+ - NCT07025590Recruiting
Exercise to help lower antidepressants for heart patients
This trial tests whether adding a structured exercise program can help people with both depression/anxiety and heart disease slowly reduce their antidepressant medication. It may offer a way to lower medication use while improving heart and mental health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for movement disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 86 recruiting movement disorders 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 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 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.
