Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–99 - NCT04164225Recruiting
Testing how qigong affects brain activity in chronic low back pain
This study looks at how doing qigong may change brain activity and physical symptoms in adults with long-lasting low back pain. It’s mainly to see whether the brain and symptom measures can be identified and tracked after qigong practice.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–70 - NCT06717165Recruiting
Brain stimulation with talk therapy for OCD
This study tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation technique (tACS) to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help reduce OCD symptoms more than CBT alone. It is for adults with OCD who have not completed a full course of CBT before.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT05652153Recruiting
Brain-signal study for teens with depression and suicide thoughts
This study looks at how certain brain “inhibitory” signals work in teenagers and young adults who have depression and either suicide thoughts or past suicide behavior. The goal is to better understand suicide risk and what might help reduce it, using brain and brainwave testing.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 13–21 - NCT07467551Recruiting
Pain scale study for patients on breathing machines
This study tests a pain scale for patients who are on a breathing machine and cannot speak. It aims to help doctors better recognize pain in these patients.
IstanbulAges 18–85 - NCT06373718Recruiting
How sleep affects emotions in insomnia with low mood
This study explores how improving sleep might help regulate emotions in people who have both insomnia and mild depressive symptoms. You could help researchers understand the link between sleep and mood.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT05092100Enrolling by invitation
Study on how the brain reduces confusion during memory learning
This study tests how the brain helps you form new memories when there is competing information (interference). It may help researchers understand memory processes and why learning can feel harder in distracting situations.
Eugene, OregonAges 18–80 - NCT07176455Enrolling by invitation
Dietary habits after stomach cancer surgery
This trial studies how older stomach cancer survivors' eating habits change after surgery and tests ways to help them eat healthier. It focuses on people who just had their stomach cancer removed.
NanjingAges 60 years+ - NCT07565402Recruiting
Brain Stimulation and Skills Training for Adult ADHD
This study tests whether combining mild electrical brain stimulation (called tDCS) with behavioral skills training can help adults with ADHD focus better and manage their symptoms. Researchers want to understand how this combination works and whether it could be a useful treatment option.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–55 - NCT06942858Recruiting
Boosting therapy for anorexia with brain stimulation
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can help cognitive-behavioral therapy work better for people with anorexia nervosa. It aims to improve outcomes by targeting brain areas linked to thinking and behavior.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–35 - NCT05805410Recruiting
Trunk therapy in children with spastic cerebral palsy
This study looks at how special trunk (core) exercises or positioning affect movement and muscle control in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). It may help families understand which trunk-focused interventions improve function and comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 4–12 - NCT06286774Recruiting
Sleep and alcohol treatment study

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for behavior and behavior mechanisms?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 29 recruiting behavior and behavior mechanisms 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 behavior and behavior mechanisms 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 behavior and behavior mechanisms 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.
