Brain implant study to restore hand function after spinal cord injury
This trial tests a fully implanted wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) to help people with paralysis from a neck-level spinal cord injury regain hand and arm movement. The BCI reads brain signals and sends them to your arm, bypassing the damaged spinal cord.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07627516Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for arm and leg weakness after stroke
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulation device—a small implant that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help improve arm and leg strength and movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and haven't fully recovered with regular therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.

Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07513714Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a therapy using small electrical pulses to help people who have had a stroke move their arm and hand better. It is for people who already receive Botox injections for muscle tightness and have some movement in their arm.
Foggia, FoggiaAges 18–80 - NCT07500480Recruiting
Home use of a wearable grasping device after stroke
This trial tests if a wearable device that helps open and close the hand can be used at home by people who have weakness after a stroke. It may help improve your ability to grasp objects like a glass or spoon.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06786000Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus hand therapy for stroke recovery
This trial tests a combination of mild electrical brain stimulation and a special hand therapy program to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for adults who had a stroke more than three months ago and still have moderate to mild arm weakness.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07441057Recruiting
Studying a therapy for arm movement in kids with stroke
This study tests whether a therapy called CHRIST can help children who've had a stroke improve the movement and function of their affected arm and hand.
Mandi Bahāuddīn, Punjab ProvinceAges 7–12 - NCT06829212Recruiting
Wireless brain implant for device control
This trial tests a wireless brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or wheelchair just by thinking. It's designed for people with paralysis or double arm amputations who want to regain some independence.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06866730Recruiting
Testing a video game for arm and hand rehab in kids
This study tests whether a special video game can help children with neurological conditions improve use of their arms and hands. The game is designed to be fun and engaging while working on movements like reaching and gripping.
AntonyAges 4–17 - NCT06892886Recruiting
Virtual reality for arm rehab after stroke
This trial tests if immersive virtual reality can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. If you had a first stroke within the last month and still have arm weakness, this might be an option.
FerraraAges 18–80 - NCT06818877Recruiting
Brain-powered virtual reality game for arm training in kids with cerebral palsy
This study uses a virtual reality game controlled by brain activity to help children with cerebral palsy improve arm and hand movement. It also includes typically developing children to see how the game works for everyone.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 6–17 - NCT05615766Recruiting
Robotic arm exoskeleton rehab for people with arm weakness
This trial tests a robotic device that helps move your arm and hand during rehabilitation, with the goal of improving elbow and hand function. You may be a good fit if you have certain nerve/spinal cord injury levels and can still make some finger and elbow muscle movements at the start.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05884762Recruiting
Brain training rehab for arm recovery after a recent stroke
This trial tests an upper-limb (arm/hand) rehabilitation program guided by brain activity signals, started soon after a stroke. It may help people with early incomplete arm recovery improve hand and arm function.
RennesAges 18–80 - NCT05557864Recruiting
Brain scan study for Parkinson’s patients with deep brain stimulators
This study looks at how the location of a deep brain stimulator in Parkinson’s disease affects movement problems. It mainly uses advanced 7T brain imaging to compare brain activity and motor symptoms.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–89 - NCT06698380Recruiting
Mirror therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether using a mirror to create the illusion of movement can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. It may be a good option if you have limited arm movement and can follow simple instructions.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 45–65 - NCT06696469Recruiting
Virtual reality for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests if a virtual reality system called BeCure can help people who had a stroke recover arm movement. It's for people who are still in the early to later stages of recovery (not the very first days) and have some movement and sitting balance.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT06806397Recruiting
Brain imaging study of arm weakness after stroke
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
MoscowAges 35–70 - NCT05762796Recruiting
Brain scan and stimulation study for kids with mild concussion
This study tests whether a brain “stimulation” approach, paired with brain imaging (MRI), can help children who still have symptoms after a mild concussion. There is also a comparison group of children without concussion history.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 10–15 - NCT07657182RecruitingPhase 4
Study comparing two nerve grafts for arm or hand recovery
This study tests a new nerve graft (Avance) against the standard sural nerve graft (taken from your leg) for repairing cut nerves in the arm or hand. The goal is to see which helps you recover function better over 2 years.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06906588Recruiting
Robot arm therapy for arm recovery after stroke

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for upper limb motor impairment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 49 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.
