Study of JBI-778 for lung, brain, and salivary gland tumors
This trial tests a new oral medication, JBI-778, in patients with certain types of lung cancer, brain tumors, or salivary gland cancer. The drug is designed to target specific genetic changes in these tumors, and the study aims to assess its safety and effectiveness.
Surat, GujaratAges 18 years+ - NCT07601841Recruiting
Light therapy to improve sleep after brain injury
This study tests whether light therapy can help people sleep better after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers will use MRI brain scans and sleep tracking to see if light therapy changes how your brain clears toxins during sleep.
Portland, OregonAges 18–89 - NCT07718321Recruiting
StimolIrpinia for brain injury rehab: a feasibility trial
This trial tests a new cognitive rehab tool called StimolIrpinia for people recovering from a serious brain injury. It aims to see if the tool is acceptable and helpful for improving thinking and memory.
Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, AVAges 18–75 - NCT06312631Recruiting
Home glove helps stroke survivors use their arm
This study tests a home-use glove (SaeboGlove®) that may help people who had a stroke grip and hold objects with their hand. It looks at how using the glove affects arm function and what factors help people stick with the program.
ToulouseAges 18–90 - NCT06950437Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy for language in children with autism
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called aiTBS, guided by brain scans, to help improve language in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is for children aged 3 to 6.5 years who have language delays and speak Mandarin.
BeijingAges 3–6 - NCT07031687Recruiting
A new brain stimulation study for early Alzheimer's
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method (temporal interference stimulation) to see if it can improve memory in people with early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to understand how the stimulation affects brain function.
Sanya, HainanAges 60–80 - NCT07298902Recruiting
Non-invasive brain stimulation to help quit smoking
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help long-term smokers quit. You'll receive a safe magnetic pulse to brain areas linked to cravings, and researchers track your progress.
Houston, TexasAges 20–60 - NCT07287527Recruiting
Light therapy for memory and brain health
This study tests whether a type of light therapy called photobiomodulation can improve brain connections and thinking abilities in people with mild memory problems.
IstanbulAges 55 years+ - NCT07747181Recruiting
Brain stimulation and yoga for thinking skills in psychosis
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with yoga can improve thinking and memory in people with psychosis. It may help with daily functioning and quality of life.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 18–65 - NCT05667649RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cells injected in brain for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s
This Phase 1 study tests whether injecting your own (autologous) activated fat-derived stem cells into the brain is safe and potentially helpful for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The goal is to see how the treatment affects the brain and symptoms, using cells made from your own donated fat tissue.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 45–80 - NCT06979466Recruiting
Electrical device for chronic stroke recovery
This trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation to help people who had a stroke several months to years ago improve arm and hand movement. You would use the device while sitting and do physical exercises with help from a caregiver.

Gainesville, FloridaAges 65 years+ - NCT06895863Recruiting
Personalized magnetic brain therapy for hard to treat depression
This study tests a new way to use magnetic brain stimulation tailored to each patient to treat depression that hasn't improved with at least two different medications. It may help people who are still struggling with moderate to severe depression.
Glostrup MunicipalityAges 18–95 - NCT07594795Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain activity?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 143 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.
