Brain stimulation and training to reduce binge eating
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (a safe, non-invasive technique called TMS) and a computer-based training program can help reduce binge eating episodes. Researchers will also look at changes in brain activity using MRI scans.
GranadaAges 18–60 - NCT07569263RecruitingPhase 1

Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06413173Recruiting
Remote brain stimulation for attention after mild TBI
This trial tests if a remote brain stimulation device can improve attention and concentration in active-duty service members who have had a mild traumatic brain injury. Participants use the device at home while completing tasks to help with daily focus.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT06095297Recruiting
Cognitive rehab for brain fog from long COVID
This study tests a computer-based cognitive training program combined with a gentle nerve stimulation device to see if it can improve brain fog and daily functioning in people with long COVID. If you're struggling with thinking, memory, or concentration after COVID, this might help.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07848594Recruiting
Temperature-regulating bed cover for sleep and health
This study tests whether a special temperature-regulating bed cover can improve sleep quality and reduce body inflammation, and how it affects gut health and your body's internal clock. You will use the bed cover and other devices at home, and provide blood and stool samples to see how your body responds.
Newton Center, MassachusettsAges 45 years+ - NCT07665216Recruiting
Chatbot for anhedonia and depression
This study tests whether a chatbot-based intervention can improve brain function and reduce symptoms in people who feel very little pleasure or interest (anhedonia) and have depression. You would have MRI scans to see how your brain responds.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–40 - NCT07451769Recruiting
Testing a new drug target for migraine relief
This trial tests a substance that activates adrenomedullin receptors, which may be a new way to treat migraines. It may help people who have migraines without aura and aren't on preventive migraine medications.
Glostrup MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06691490Recruiting
Brain activity and daily physical activity study
This study looks at how your brain's perception of effort is linked to how much physical activity you do. It uses EEG (a cap that records brain waves) and fMRI (an MRI that shows brain activity) to understand this connection.
La TroncheAges Any age - NCT07041450Recruiting
Screening for Alzheimer's treatment using digital tests and blood tests
This study is testing whether simple digital memory tests and blood tests can help find people who might qualify for anti-amyloid treatments (medications that target Alzheimer's-related proteins). It aims to make screening easier and faster, without needing a spinal tap or PET scan.
Greenfield Park, QuebecAges 55–90 - NCT07020312RecruitingPhase 2
Brain training to improve muscle recovery after joint surgery
This trial tests whether brain-computer interface training can help you regain muscle control more effectively after knee or hip surgery. It focuses on four common procedures and uses neurofeedback to optimize muscle activation during recovery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04225975Recruiting
Study brain activity in babies right after birth
This study measures a newborn’s brain activity immediately after delivery. It may help doctors better understand early brain function in healthy full-term babies.
AmiensAges 1 minute–15 minutes - NCT07873151Enrolling by invitation
Voice-activated call light for limited arm mobility
This study tests a voice-activated call light system that lets people with limited arm movement call for help by speaking. It aims to make it easier and safer for clients to get assistance.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT07044804Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve language in Down syndrome
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome improve their language skills. It aims to see if this safe method can boost word-finding and speaking ability.
RomeAges 12–21 - NCT06980090Recruiting
How doctors' expectations affect their emotions
This study looks at how expecting to feel pain can change how doctors react emotionally. It uses brain scans (MRI) and mild electrical stimulation (tTIS) to understand these effects.
Hanover, New HampshireAges 18–55 - NCT06564675Recruiting
Using EEG brain waves to predict recovery after cardiac arrest
This trial uses a special EEG device (Brainstatus) to measure brain activity in people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest. The goal is to see if certain brain waves can predict a good recovery.
HelsinkiAges 18–110 - NCT06993142Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain activity?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 145 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.
