Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07172165Enrolling by invitation
Improving detection of clot signals in brain ultrasound
This study focuses on improving how doctors classify tiny signals (called microembolic signals) from the brain, which can help detect stroke risk. Your recorded signals—if from a solid source, like a clot—will be reviewed by experts to develop better computer tools.
PortoAges 18 years+ - NCT07073521Recruiting
Cognitive therapy for adjusting to vision loss
This study tests new ways to help people adjust to vision loss using thinking and coping strategies. If you are an adult with vision loss and willing to share feedback, this may be a good fit.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT06784375Recruiting
Personalized diabetes education with a continuous glucose monitor
This study tests if a personalized education program, supported by continuous glucose monitor (CGM) wear, can help adults with type 2 diabetes improve their blood sugar control. Participants will receive extra training and a CGM device to see how food, activity, and medications affect their glucose levels in real time.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06631807Enrolling by invitation
How blindness affects sleep, dreams, and spatial skills
This study looks at how the number of years a person has been blind affects their sleep, dreams, and spatial abilities. It may help us understand how the brain adapts when vision is lost, which could lead to better support for people with visual impairments.
GenovaAges 18–85 - NCT06121219Recruiting
Can visual retraining after stroke improve sight?
This trial tests whether special computer-based visual exercises can help people whose vision was damaged by a stroke. You would do the exercises at home for several months.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21–80 - NCT04634383Recruiting
Testing a brain-connected implant to help some blind people see
This early safety study tests an implanted device placed in the brain to help people with very limited sight (no or minimal light). It focuses on whether the implant can be safely used and whether it may support vision-related signals over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 19–70 - NCT02983370Recruiting
Cortical visual implant to help people with severe blindness
This trial studies a device that may help people with severe blindness by sending signals to the brain’s visual areas. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with long-term, severe vision loss and good overall health and can complete testing for several months.
Elche, AlicanteAges 18–70 - NCT02435940Recruiting
Registry for inherited eye vision conditions
This study is a registry, meaning it collects information about people with inherited retinal (retina) diseases. It may help researchers learn how these conditions progress and connect you with future studies or treatments.
Columbia, MarylandAges Any age - NCT03094429RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing NaBen add-on to clozapine for tough schizophrenia symptoms
This trial tests whether adding NaBen (a supplement-like medicine) to clozapine can improve “residual” symptoms in adults with difficult-to-treat schizophrenia. The study also checks safety and the best dose, using a placebo (inactive pill) for comparison.
Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT03455478Recruiting
Study of adult vision health in Shanghai residents
This study looks at the eye health of adults who live in Shanghai. It may help researchers understand vision problems in the local population and improve future eye care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT04800393Recruiting
Breast surgery anesthesia and its effects on immunity and survival
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia during breast cancer surgery to see how they affect the immune system and outcomes after surgery. It may help identify which anesthesia approach is better for people like you having early-stage, operable breast cancer surgery.
MoscowAges 45–74 - NCT06012552RecruitingPhase 2
Tianeptine for COVID-19 brain fog
This study tests whether the medication tianeptine can improve brain fog and thinking problems that persist after COVID-19. It may help if you are 18 or older, have had COVID-19, and have noticed new memory or concentration issues.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT05938439Recruiting
Testing a magnetic device for Candy Cane Syndrome
This trial studies how well a small magnetic device works to relieve problems caused by Candy Cane Syndrome, such as pain, nausea, vomiting, or reflux-like symptoms. It will also check whether the device is safe for your anatomy and overall health.
BrusselsAges 18–85 - NCT07855159Recruiting
Testing an arm support device for ear, nose, and throat surgeons
This study looks at whether a wearable arm support (exoskeleton) helps reduce strain for surgeons who perform procedures through the mouth or neck. It measures muscle activity during surgery to see if the device is helpful.
StevenageAges 18 years+ - NCT06201065RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (lenvatinib and toripalimab, a type of immunotherapy) plus a special chemotherapy infusion directly into the liver artery for people with advanced liver cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding the immunotherapy helps shrink tumors better than the standard combination.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06241599RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
AK104 with chemo for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This study tests if adding a new immunotherapy drug (called AK104) to standard chemotherapy can help people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back or spread after previous treatment. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06264297Recruiting
Nerve radiofrequency treatment for chronic leg pain
This trial tests a new type of treatment (high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency) that uses a special needle to deliver energy to the nerve root in your lower back. The goal is to see if it can reduce chronic leg pain caused by a pinched or irritated nerve.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for blindness?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 210 recruiting blindness 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 blindness 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 blindness 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.
