Recruiting studies
- NCT07458503Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus arm therapy for stroke recovery
This study tests a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.

Brain stimulation and BCI for arm movement after stroke
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with a brain-computer interface (a device that reads your brain signals) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some weakness but can move their fingers slightly.
ParisAges 18–85 - NCT07439367Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
This study tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation to help people with arm weakness after a stroke improve their movement and daily function.
Carouge, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT05479006Recruiting
tDCS for arm weakness after stroke
This trial tests whether a targeted, noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve arm weakness and movement after stroke. It may help people who have significant trouble moving one arm on the side affected by stroke.
Urbana, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT06962722Recruiting
Arm training to boost thinking in healthy older adults
This study tests whether a gentle arm movement training program can help keep your thinking skills sharp as you age. It's for healthy older adults who have no memory, heart, or other major health problems.
Derby, DerbyshireAges 65–85 - NCT07000279Recruiting
Testing a wearable robot arm for stroke or nerve injury recovery
This trial tests a wearable robot that helps move your arm. It's for people recovering from a stroke or brachial plexus injury who still have some arm muscle strength but need extra support.
Budrio, BolognaAges 18–65 - NCT07366697Recruiting
Using wrist sensors to measure daily arm use after stroke
This study tests whether wearing small activity monitors on both wrists for 3 days can better measure how stroke affects daily two-handed tasks. It aims to improve understanding of real-world arm function.
LeuvenAges 18–80 - NCT07404761Recruiting
Moving your arm after stroke or TBI
This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses and augmented reality (a computer overlay on real life) to help people who have arm or hand weakness after a recent stroke or brain injury regain movement.
HaifaAges 18 years+ - NCT07429188Recruiting
Study of upper-limb assistive device users
This study looks at how well upper-limb assistive devices (like robotic arms) work for people who use them and for their caregivers. You and your caregiver can help by sharing your experiences in video interviews.
PerpignanAges 18 years+ - NCT07467915Recruiting
Combined mirror therapy and soft robotic glove for hand recovery after stroke
This trial tests if using a soft robotic glove together with mirror therapy can help improve hand and arm movement in people recovering from a stroke. You would wear the glove on your affected hand while looking in a mirror at your unaffected hand, which may help retrain your brain.
Baghdad, BabylonAges 18–70 - NCT06483230Recruiting
Arm recovery program for stroke survivors
This study tests a new way to help stroke survivors improve arm and hand movement. If you had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have moderate arm weakness, you may be able to join.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06876597Recruiting
Robotic arm therapy for stroke recovery
This trial tests a robotic arm system that combines movement and thinking tasks to help people recover arm function after a first stroke. It is for people aged 40–80 who had a stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have some arm weakness but not too severe.
FuzhouAges 40–80 - NCT07698405Recruiting
Advanced rehab technology for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether advanced technology-based rehabilitation can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and use of their affected arm. It may be a good option if you have had a single stroke and still have some arm weakness but no severe muscle tightness or memory problems.
Fiorenzuola d'Arda, PiacenzaAges 18 years+ - NCT06787729Recruiting
Using sensors and a smartphone to help arm recovery after stroke
This study tests if wearing small sensors on your arm at home and using a smartphone app can help improve how you use your weaker arm after a stroke. It is designed for people who are at least a year past their stroke and want to take an active role in their recovery.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06496529Recruiting
Robot arm brace for stroke recovery
This study tests a robotic arm brace (exoskeleton) to help people who recently had a stroke and have trouble moving their arm. The goal is to see if the device can improve arm movement and daily function.
SantiagoAges 18–81 - NCT06945211Recruiting
Mirror therapy for arm movement after stroke
This study tests whether doing arm exercises while watching the reflection of your good arm in a mirror can help improve movement and function in your affected arm after a stroke.
IslamabadAges 45 years+ - NCT07523503Recruiting
One-sided vs. both-sides arm training after stroke
This study compares two ways of doing hand and arm exercises after stroke: practicing with just your weak arm, or practicing with both arms together. The goal is to see which approach helps you regain better movement, strength, and hand coordination.
Kot AdduAges 40–75 - NCT05322837Recruiting
Tracking arm nerve and strength recovery after first stroke
This study follows how stroke survivors’ arm feeling (sensory) and movement (motor) recover over time. It may help clinicians better understand recovery patterns in Asian patients and improve rehabilitation support.
SingaporeAges 21–90 - NCT07691957Recruiting
Nerve study for healthy and amputee volunteers
This study uses a special technique to measure how nerves in the arm send signals to the brain. It compares healthy volunteers and people with an upper-limb amputation to better understand sensation and potentially improve prosthetic devices.
Pisa, PisaAges 18–60 - NCT06057584Recruiting
Sensory and motor training for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a special training program that combines touch and movement exercises to help people who have had a stroke improve the use of their affected arm and hand. It is designed for those who still have some movement but also have trouble with sensation.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT06945185Recruiting
Motor imagery training for arm strength after stroke
This trial tests if imagining arm movements (motor imagery training) can help improve arm strength in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is a non-drug, mental practice approach that may help your brain relearn movement.
IslamabadAges 45 years+ - NCT06782464Recruiting
Freezing nerves for shoulder pain after stroke or brain injury
This trial tests if freezing certain nerves in the upper arm (cryoneurolysis) works as well as standard care for reducing shoulder pain and muscle tightness after a stroke or brain injury. It aims to improve function and ease caregiving tasks.
LuxembourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06303869Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for speech after stroke
This study tests if deep brain stimulation (a small device implanted in the brain) can improve speech and arm movement after a stroke that affected the deeper parts of the brain. It is designed for people who have trouble speaking clearly (dysarthria) from their stroke.

Home glove helps stroke survivors use their arm
This study tests a home-use glove (SaeboGlove®) that may help people who had a stroke grip and hold objects with their hand. It looks at how using the glove affects arm function and what factors help people stick with the program.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for upper limb motor impairment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 51 recruiting upper limb motor impairment 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 upper limb motor impairment 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 upper limb motor impairment 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.
