Hand therapy for stroke: may help speech and swallowing
This study tests whether a special hand therapy using brain-computer interface and electrical stimulation can also help improve speech and swallowing problems after a stroke. You may be eligible if you're at least 3 months past your stroke, have some arm weakness, and have aphasia or dysphagia.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT06140940Recruiting
Mental imagery study for people with and without aphantasia
This study compares how people who cannot create mental pictures (aphantasia) and people who can perform motor imagery tasks and undergo noninvasive brain stimulation.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06739967Recruiting
Speech Therapy for Italian Speakers with PPA
This study tests speech and language therapy for people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA). It aims to see if targeted exercises can help maintain or improve communication skills.
BariAges 40–85 - NCT06613204Recruiting
Support program for family caregivers of FTD patients
This study tests a behavior change program for family members caring for someone with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). It aims to help caregivers manage upsetting behaviors and reduce stress.
Portland, OregonAges 18–100 - NCT06576089Recruiting
Stroke recovery rehab trial testing Maraviroc vs. placebo
This trial tests if the drug Maraviroc (compared to a placebo) can improve stroke recovery when added to standard rehabilitation. It is for people who have had a specific type of stroke (ischemic anterior circulation) and have weakness on one side of the body, and are already in inpatient rehab.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06538311RecruitingEarly Phase 1
TMS treatment for early Alzheimer's disease
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help people with early Alzheimer's disease or related memory problems. It's a safe, gentle way to stimulate brain cells using magnetic pulses.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–99 - NCT06529744Recruiting
Using blood tests to better diagnose early dementia
This study is testing whether simple blood tests can help doctors better understand the type and progression of memory or thinking problems in people with early dementia. It aims to improve confidence in the diagnosis and future outlook.
North York, OntarioAges 30–95 - NCT06365658Recruiting
Cognitive function in healthy adults
This study looks at how thinking and memory work in healthy adults and compares them to people with certain health conditions. As part of the control group, you will help researchers understand normal cognitive function.
Gdansk, Pomeranian VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06213272Recruiting
Exercise and reading therapy for stroke-related reading problems
This study combines exercise with a targeted reading therapy to help people who have trouble reading after a stroke. It aims to see if this approach improves reading accuracy.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–85 - NCT06191198RecruitingPhase 2
Communication Bridge 3: Speech therapy for PPA
This study tests a web-based speech therapy program called Communication Bridge for people with Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) and their communication partners. The goal is to improve communication skills and quality of life.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–100 - NCT05845047Recruiting
Telemedicine speech therapy for stroke-related language problems
This trial tests a home-based (telemedicine) therapy that uses focused brain “engagement” exercises to help improve language after a stroke. It is meant for adults with stroke-related aphasia (language difficulty) and checks whether you can participate reliably with the tasks.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT05425615Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation to improve language after left stroke
This study tests a form of brain stimulation (TMS) in people who had a stroke affecting the left side of the brain. It aims to understand whether stimulation can help with language processing tasks at least a month after stroke.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–85 - NCT05093673Recruiting
Brain stimulation for language recovery after stroke
This study tests whether stimulating the cerebellum can improve word-finding and language skills in people with aphasia after a left-sided stroke. It’s meant for people who are months past their stroke and still have naming difficulties.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04715399Recruiting
Research study collecting data for neurodegenerative diseases
This study collects health information from people with neurodegenerative diseases, some family members, and healthy controls to help researchers better understand these conditions. It may help future diagnosis and research, and participation may include noninvasive checks and other procedures depending on your situation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04680130Enrolling by invitation
Study of brain, genetics, and clinical symptoms in neurodegenerative illness
This study looks at how your symptoms, brain imaging (MRI), and genetic factors relate to neurodegenerative conditions. It may help researchers better understand what causes these illnesses and how to classify them.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 21 years+ - NCT03174938Recruiting
BioFINDER 2 study for healthy aging and memory problems
This study uses brain scans and a spinal fluid test to better understand memory and thinking changes in different groups, from people with healthy thinking to early or established dementia. If you qualify, it may help researchers learn what’s driving these conditions and how they progress.
ÄngelholmAges 20–100 - NCT02740634Recruiting
Brain imaging study for Alzheimer's disease
This study uses brain scans to understand Alzheimer's disease and related conditions that affect memory, language, or vision. It looks at how changes in the brain happen over time in people with these diagnoses.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 21–80 - NCT02328573Recruiting
Group singing for people after stroke and their caregivers
This study looks at whether group singing can help people who have had a stroke and support the people who care for them. If you or your caregiver are interested in group singing, this may be a simple way to try the intervention while contributing to research.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for aphasia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 90 recruiting aphasia 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 aphasia 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 aphasia 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.
