Recruiting studies
- NCT06066775Recruiting
Glucose, fats, and brain health in aging
This study looks at how blood sugar and fat levels relate to brain aging over time. It may help understand why some people's brains age faster than others.

Guided future thinking for exercise and brain health
This study tests whether a technique called 'guided episodic future thinking' (imagining positive future events) can help you stick with a physical activity program and support healthy brain aging. You'll be asked to exercise on a stepper machine and have MRI scans and blood draws.
Kansas City, KansasAges 45–65 - NCT06572332Enrolling by invitation
Brain scan study for sleep in older Chinese adults
This study uses brain scans to understand sleep problems in older Chinese adults. If you are 60+ and have trouble sleeping, you may help researchers find better ways to improve sleep.
Hong KongAges 50–90 - NCT07461584Recruiting
Memory boost in older adults with optimal dosing
This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method to see if it can improve memory in healthy older adults. It uses carefully chosen doses to find the best approach.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT07357090Recruiting
Carbon dioxide and brain waste clearance trial
This trial tests if breathing in carbon dioxide helps the brain clear waste. It may show how the brain heals after a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18–82 - NCT05483465RecruitingPhase 4
NAD supplement trial for brain blood vessel health in aging
This trial studies whether taking an NAD supplement can support brain blood vessel health as people age. Participants will be tested for brain and health changes and may help researchers understand how to keep the brain’s blood vessels healthier over time.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 60–85 - NCT07392723RecruitingPhase 2
Flaxseed nutrition to protect memory in APOE4 adults
This study tests a special flaxseed-based nutrition drink to see if it can slow memory loss in older adults who have the APOE4 gene and mild cognitive impairment (early memory trouble). If you qualify, you'll take the drink daily for a year and have memory tests and brain scans.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 60 years+ - NCT05048680Recruiting
Breathing low-oxygen training to support brain blood flow in seniors
This study tests whether brief “low-oxygen” conditioning can improve blood flow to the brain and overall cerebrovascular (brain blood vessel) health in older adults. It may help people who are generally less active, as long as they have no major medical or safety barriers for the training.
La Tronche, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 60–80 - NCT05296980Recruiting
Testing a dementia risk-reduction program for older adults
This study checks whether a program called REMINDER can help reduce risk of developing dementia by improving risk factors over 12 weeks. It’s for older adults who have higher dementia risk but do not currently have dementia.
CoimbraAges 60–75 - NCT07208318RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Restructuring brain signals for aging vision
This study tests a new way to help older adults improve their vision by retraining how the brain processes visual information. It may help with age-related vision changes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06137339Recruiting
Daily avocado and cognition in older adults
This study tests whether eating one avocado daily for 6 months can help keep your thinking and memory sharp as you age. You must not currently eat many avocados or vegetables, and be willing to change your diet.
Kansas City, KansasAges 65–85 - NCT07497347Recruiting
Amino acids and lifestyle for brain aging in older adults
This study tests whether taking a specific amino acid supplement, along with lifestyle changes, can help slow or improve brain aging in older adults who have mild depression. It aims to see if these nutrients can support brain health and mood.
BresciaAges 65–85 - NCT06183658Recruiting
Healthy Brain Aging Study for Adults 55–90
This study looks at healthy brain aging in older adults. It involves brain scans, blood tests, and regular check-ins to understand how memory and thinking change over time.
Shenzhen, OtherAges 55–90 - NCT06221631Recruiting
Brain aging in MS and healthy people
This study compares how the brain ages in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers. It uses MRI scans and other tests to understand brain aging better.
Bern, Canton of BernAges 18–65 - NCT06969209Recruiting
Brain aging in adults with PKU
This study looks at how the brain ages in adults with PKU. It uses an MRI scan to compare brain changes between people with PKU and healthy volunteers.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06243016Recruiting
Breaking sitting with high-intensity exercise for brain health
This study tests whether breaking up long periods of sitting with short bursts of high-intensity exercise can improve brain health. It is for people who are sedentary and not very active but otherwise generally healthy.
Urbana, IllinoisAges 40–75 - NCT05881239Recruiting
Remote smell tests to track early Alzheimer’s health changes
This trial uses remote, at-home (or remote) smell-based testing to help researchers assess health in people with preclinical Alzheimer’s disease and in control participants. It may help by showing how well smell-related changes can signal disease status over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT06792877Recruiting
Mindfulness for thinking in early Alzheimer's
This study tests if mindfulness training can help protect thinking and memory in early-stage Alzheimer's disease. It compares mindfulness to other activities to see if it slows down memory loss.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain aging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 56 recruiting brain aging 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 aging 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 aging 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.
