Brain-computer interface and virtual reality for functional disorder
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a brain-computer interface (a device that reads your brain signals) combined with virtual reality can help improve movement problems caused by a functional neurological disorder. It may offer a new way to retrain your brain and body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a movement problem like limb weakness, trouble walking, tremor, or dystonia due to a functional neurological disorder.
- Your symptoms are at least moderate in severity.
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You can speak and understand English.
- You are able to use virtual reality and a brain-computer interface.

This study tests whether adding brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to physical therapy can improve walking in people with functional neurological disorder (FND). It may help people with leg weakness and walking problems.
This trial tests if combining a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) with virtual reality (an immersive computer environment) can help improve arm movement after a stroke. It might be a good fit if you had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago and still have some weakness in one arm.
This study tests a new type of therapy that combines brain training (neurofeedback), mild electrical stimulation to help with movement, and virtual reality exercises. It aims to improve walking and movement for people with Parkinson's disease.
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) device designed to help people with severe arm paralysis—from conditions like ALS or stroke—regain some ability to control their arms. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into arm movements, potentially helping you perform daily activities.
This study tests whether virtual reality can help people with functional or essential tremor. You may join if you have one of these tremor types or are a healthy volunteer.
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface using motor imagery can help people with multiple sclerosis. You would imagine moving your limbs while the system translates that into feedback, potentially improving movement or spasticity.
