Recruiting studies
- NCT04877977Recruiting
Long-Term Follow-Up for People With Mood Disorders
This study follows people with mood disorders over a long time to better understand how symptoms and functioning change. You may be able to join if you already agreed to take part in an earlier mood/anxiety study and you meet basic participation needs.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04788524Recruiting
Brain and stress study in depressed teens with control feelings
This study uses brain scans and short real-life mood/stress check-ins to understand how stress and perceived control work in teens with depression. It may help researchers better pinpoint brain patterns linked to depression and how teens experience control during stressful moments.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges 14–18 - NCT04634175Enrolling by invitation
Yoga program for compulsive sexual behavior
This trial studies whether a 12-week yoga program can reduce compulsive sexual behavior and anxiety. It is offered to a specific group of participants in Brazil and focuses on daily mind-body practice.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT04582916RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan study of inflammation in major depression
This Phase 1 study uses a PET brain scan to look at inflammation-related activity (cyclooxygenase) in people with major depressive disorder (MDD). It may help researchers better understand how depression is connected to inflammation in the brain.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT04581902Recruiting
Study blood and brain markers in moderate to severe depression
This study looks at changes in depression “markers” to understand what treatments help and why. You’ll have non-invasive brain stimulation and scans before and after treatment, over about 8 weeks.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT04578249Recruiting
Blocking blue light at night after heart surgery
This trial tests whether reducing blue light at night after certain planned heart surgeries helps protect mood, thinking, and recovery. If you have no history of major mental health problems or organ problems, you may be able to join the study.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 45–75 - NCT04024917Recruiting
Cardiac coherence training to reduce anxiety before abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether “cardiac coherence” breathing/relaxation practice can lower anxiety in people with peritoneal cancer who are scheduled for a major surgery. It may help by calming stress before and around the operation.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT04161066RecruitingPhase 1
Psilocybin plus buprenorphine to help opioid use disorder symptoms
This Phase 1 study tests how adding psilocybin to a standard opioid treatment (buprenorphine-naloxone) affects recovery and symptoms in people with moderate-to-severe opioid use disorder. It may help researchers understand whether this combination is safe and beneficial alongside medication for opioid withdrawal and cravings.
Madison, WisconsinAges 21–65 - NCT04041479RecruitingPhase 3
Brain-scan guided rTMS for treatment-resistant depression
This trial tests whether using brain-related “biomarkers” from your scans to guide rTMS can improve depression that hasn’t responded to at least one antidepressant. It may help by targeting brain circuits linked to depression more precisely.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 22–65 - NCT03973268RecruitingPhase 1
Ketamine study to understand treatment response in hard-to-treat depression
This early-stage study tests ketamine and looks at what brain changes may explain why it helps people with major depression that hasn’t improved with usual treatments. You may be asked to stay in the hospital and complete detailed interviews, mood rating scales, and brain imaging.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT03926403Recruiting
Hypnosis support for anxiety during face surgery
This trial looks at whether guided hypnosis can improve how people feel about having face surgery performed with numbing medicine (local anesthesia). If you’re experiencing significant anxiety beforehand, hypnosis support may help you feel more comfortable during your outpatient procedure.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04004169Recruiting
Closed-loop deep brain stimulation for long-lasting depression
This study tests a special kind of brain stimulation that can adjust to your brain signals while treating major depression that has not improved with standard treatments. It may help people with severe, long-term treatment-resistant depression, but it requires brain surgery and frequent visits.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 22–70 - NCT03914664Enrolling by invitation
Brain and sensation study in adults with Tourette syndrome
This study looks at brain activity and how sensory experiences feel in adults with Tourette syndrome. It compares you to carefully matched adults without neurologic or psychiatric conditions to understand what is different in the brain.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03896529Recruiting
Study how aging and stress affect memory navigation
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and controlled stimulation to understand how normal aging and stress affect memory and thinking, including how people navigate. It may help researchers learn what changes in the brain happen over time and with stress.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 65–80 - NCT03954483Recruiting
Ear test studies brain wave rhythms for adults
This trial measures a specific brain rhythm (theta waves) using sensors placed on or near the ear canal. It’s mainly looking for healthy adults who can safely complete ear, hearing, and balance checks.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18–40 - NCT03764098RecruitingPhase 2
Guanfacine to reduce heavy drinking in adults with alcohol use disorder
This Phase 2 study tests whether guanfacine can reduce drinking in women and men who drink heavily and meet criteria for alcohol use disorder. It also looks at how the medicine affects drinking patterns in a controlled setting.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 21–70 - NCT03777267Recruiting
Test a brain-sensing device for stress, anxiety, or insomnia
This exploratory study tests how a wearable brain-sensing setup (with sensor leads/earbuds) works for people with stress, anxiety, or sleep problems. You may be asked to sit still during sessions and complete brief questionnaires to confirm your symptoms.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 11 years+ - NCT03842007Recruiting
Study of constipation symptoms and how bowel function works
This study looks at how normal bowel movements work, and what goes wrong in people with long-term constipation. It may help researchers better understand constipation causes, which can guide future treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT03586258Recruiting
Brain scan and memory testing for people with brain injury
This study uses memory and thinking tests along with brain scans (likely MRI) to understand how different types of brain damage affect thinking. It may help doctors learn more about brain-related cognitive problems.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT03428009Recruiting
Study links dystonia symptoms to genetic and brain differences
This study looks at how different types of dystonia (movement disorders) relate to genetics and brain findings from scans. You might help researchers understand why symptoms look different from person to person and what patterns may matter.
Dallas, TexasAges 11 years+ - NCT02543983RecruitingPhase 2
Brain scan and ketamine study for suicidal thoughts
This trial studies how ketamine affects the brain in people dealing with suicidal thoughts or an active suicide crisis. It uses questionnaires, consent testing, and brain imaging to look for biological changes that may relate to symptom improvement.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - 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
