Recruiting studies
- NCT06699953Enrolling by invitation
EEG study of fentanyl and how it relates to drug liking

This study looks at brain activity while walking in people with atypical Parkinsonian syndromes like PSP or MSA. It may help understand how these conditions affect walking and balance.
Solna, SolnaAges Any age - NCT05768490RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation plus targeted pills for EGFR lung cancer brain spots
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving brain radiation early or later, along with almonertinib (a targeted pill), works better for people with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer that has a small number of brain metastases. It aims to control brain disease while checking safety and effectiveness in a carefully selected group.
Guangdong, GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT05320822Recruiting
Rehab program study for recent mild concussion
This study tests a practical rehabilitation approach for people with a recent mild concussion (mTBI). You may be able to join if your injury happened recently and your symptoms match a “mild” concussion pattern on your medical record.
Fort Liberty, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT07209683Recruiting
Near-infrared light therapy for brain function in adults
This study tests whether shining a special near-infrared light on the head can improve how well your brain works and how clearly you think. It is for healthy younger and older adults who want to help find new ways to support brain health.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 21–85 - NCT06378515Recruiting
Physical activity, sleep, and brain health in students
This study looks at how physical activity and sleep affect your brain health, especially the glymphatic system — a system that helps clear waste from your brain. It is for university students and could help you understand how your daily habits influence your brain.
ValenciaAges 18–40 - NCT06910293Recruiting
Brain Activity During Menstrual Cycle vs. Fertility Treatment
This study looks at how natural menstrual cycles and ovarian stimulation (which mimics some fertility treatments) affect brain activity and hormone levels. Researchers want to understand normal brain changes during the cycle to help improve fertility treatments.
Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi EmirateAges 25–35 - NCT06315010RecruitingPhase 2
Repotrectinib for ROS1-positive lung cancer with brain spread
This clinical trial tests a new targeted therapy pill (repotrectinib) for people with ROS1-positive lung cancer that has spread to the brain. The pill is designed to enter the brain and attack cancer cells that other targeted treatments may not reach well.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT07643493Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Saline vs. clot-busting drug for brain bleeding drainage
This study compares two methods to clear blood from the fluid chambers in your brain after a bleed. Researchers want to see if a clot-dissolving medication (TPA) works better than standard salt solution when delivered through a drainage tube.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–99 - NCT05948813RecruitingPhase 2
TY-9591 for EGFR-mutant lung cancer spread to the brain
This phase 2 trial studies TY-9591 in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain and has specific EGFR mutations. It aims to see whether the medicine can control the cancer in the brain and the rest of the body, without needing immediate brain radiation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05700721RecruitingPhase 2
Niraparib and dostarlimab for cancer with growing brain spots
This trial studies whether the medicines niraparib and dostarlimab can slow advanced cancers that have active, growing brain metastases. It is meant for people whose brain tumors can be measured on MRI and who have had at least one previous treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06649058RecruitingPhase 2
Study on combining drugs and radiation for brain metastases
This trial is for people with cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). It tests a new approach where you start a systemic therapy (drugs that travel through your body) and later add focused radiation to the brain tumors, instead of treating them right away. The goal is to see if this sequence works well and avoids unnecessary side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06813300Recruiting
Brain signals during deep brain stimulation for thinking or moving tasks
This study looks at how brain signals change during deep brain stimulation (DBS) when you are thinking or moving. It aims to find better ways to see if DBS is working by recording your brain's electrical activity.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT06769672Recruiting
Walking and thinking training with brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
Hong KongAges 50 years+ - NCT06933667Recruiting
Brain health and wellness study for adults 50+
This study looks at brain health and wellness programs for people aged 50 and older. It may help you stay mentally sharp and active.
Toronto, OntarioAges 50 years+ - NCT07680959Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for negative symptoms of schizophrenia
This trial tests combining two types of non-invasive brain stimulation (HD-tDCS and iTBS) to help with negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as lack of motivation or social withdrawal. The goal is to see if this combination can improve these symptoms that are often hard to treat with medication alone.
TaipeiAges 18–65 - NCT07435610Recruiting
Acupuncture for children with stomach pain and related issues
This study tests whether acupuncture can help children with stomach pain or other gut-brain interaction disorders. It may be a good option if your child's current treatments aren't working well enough.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 8–17 - NCT05049148Recruiting
Study platelets in brain and spinal tumors
This study looks at how blood “platelets” may be involved in brain or spinal (medullary) tumors by testing tumor tissue taken during surgery or biopsy. It may help researchers understand disease biology and guide future treatments.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06244472Recruiting
New brain scanner for fast brain imaging
This study uses a new type of brain scanner (MEG) to take very fast pictures of brain activity. It's for healthy people or those who've had a mild concussion recently.
BronAges 18–70 - NCT07756229Recruiting
Physiotherapy for long-term neck pain
This study looks at how physiotherapy affects brain activity and symptoms in people with chronic neck pain lasting more than 3 months. It aims to see if physiotherapy can help reduce pain and improve function.
San Sebastián, GuipuzcoaAges 18 years+ - NCT04699799Recruiting
Studies how the brain processes smells

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain activity?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 147 recruiting brain activity 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 brain activity 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 brain activity 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.
