Recruiting studies in Maryland
- 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 - NCT01875588Recruiting
Long-term study of thinking and memory in adults with HIV
This study looks at how thinking and memory change over time in adults with HIV and compares them with adults without HIV. Researchers will do regular visits and brain/cognitive testing to understand what affects thinking and memory and to learn what might help.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT02107989Recruiting
MRI and brain scans before epilepsy surgery
This study collects noninvasive brain scan data (mainly MRI, sometimes MEG) from people being evaluated for focal epilepsy surgery, and from healthy volunteers. It aims to build reference “normal” brain images and improve how doctors plan and interpret epilepsy surgery evaluations.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–120 - NCT01900132Recruiting
Electrical muscle testing for neuromuscular disorders
This study uses a quick, painless electrical test to measure muscle health in people with nerve or muscle disorders and in healthy volunteers. It aims to learn how these measurements change over time, which may help diagnose and monitor these conditions better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–110 - NCT01730131Recruiting
Study of PML in patients, at-risk people, and healthy volunteers
This study follows people with suspected or confirmed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), people at higher risk, and healthy volunteers. It uses visits, brain imaging (MRI), and stored biological samples to better understand how PML progresses and who is at risk.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - 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 - 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 - NCT00001248Recruiting
MRI Brain Imaging Study for Multiple Sclerosis
This research study uses MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)—a safe, non-invasive scanner—to take detailed pictures of your brain and understand how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects it over time. You may qualify whether you have MS or are a healthy volunteer for comparison.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00004568Recruiting
Study of inherited neurological conditions
This study is looking at people with inherited (genetic) neurological conditions, as well as their family members, to better understand these diseases. Participants will receive a thorough evaluation, which may help with diagnosis and research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT01273129Recruiting
Surgery for epilepsy that medicines cannot control
This trial looks at using brain surgery to treat epilepsy that does not improve with usual medicines, or epilepsy caused by a brain tumor. It may help some people reduce seizures if surgery is appropriate for their situation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–99 - 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 - NCT00001778Recruiting
Understanding HTLV Infection and HAM/TSP Disease
This research study evaluates people with HTLV infection, a virus that can cause a nerve disorder called HAM/TSP. Researchers want to better understand who gets this condition and why, which may help develop future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00598351Recruiting
Study tracks changes in NF2 using repeated brain scans
This study follows people with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) over time to learn how the condition changes, using repeat MRI scans. The information may help researchers understand disease patterns and improve future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–75 - NCT00060541Recruiting
Evaluation and treatment of brain and nerve surgery conditions
This is a research program at the National Institutes of Health that evaluates and treats people with surgical brain and nerve conditions—like brain tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and chronic pain. You'll receive expert evaluation and care while helping doctors learn more about these disorders.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–99 - NCT00004577Recruiting
New Brain Imaging Methods Research Study
This research study tests new ways to take detailed pictures of your brain using MRI (a safe imaging machine). You'll help researchers develop better imaging methods by lying still in the scanner for up to 2 hours.

What taking part in a stroke 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 stroke clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 87 recruiting stroke 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 stroke 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 stroke 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 stroke 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.
