Brain signal study during movement in epilepsy patients
This study records brain signals from electrodes already placed in your brain for medical reasons. It looks at how your brain controls movement, which could help develop future devices for people with paralysis.
MoscowAges 18–70 - NCT06503484Recruiting
Brain training with light for stroke arm recovery
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) using near-infrared light can help stroke survivors improve hand and arm movement. You'll receive a type of brain training called neurofeedback during the study.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–75 - NCT06690931Recruiting
Brain training with electrical stimulation and virtual reality for Parkinson's
This study tests a new type of therapy that combines brain training (neurofeedback), mild electrical stimulation to help with movement, and virtual reality exercises. It aims to improve walking and movement for people with Parkinson's disease.
Schiedlberg, Upper AustriaAges 40–80 - NCT06700304Recruiting
Brain implant to help control devices with thoughts
This clinical trial tests a brain-computer interface (a small device implanted in the brain) that may help people with severe paralysis control external devices like a computer or tablet using only their thoughts. The study is for adults with paralysis from a spinal cord injury or ALS, and requires a stable caregiver.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19 years+ - NCT07477613Recruiting
Brain implant for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It may help if you have a single stroke that happened 6 to 18 months ago and still have trouble using your arm.
GrenobleAges 18–70 - NCT06992596Recruiting
Brain implant study for controlling devices with thoughts
This trial tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices using your thoughts. It's for people with limited arm function due to spinal cord injury, stroke, ALS, or similar conditions.
Abu DhabiAges 18 years+ - NCT07081308Recruiting
Brain-computer interface with leg supports for stroke recovery
This study tests a brain-computer interface combined with special leg supports (pneumoorthoses) to help people recover leg movement after a stroke. It may be an option if you had a stroke in the upper part of the brain and have mild to moderate leg weakness.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT07106060Recruiting
Brain imaging of motor imagery effects in spinal cord injury
This study uses a special camera to see how imagining movement (motor imagery) affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to help understand how the brain recovers after injury.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT07127172Recruiting
Brain implant study for controlling devices with your mind
This study tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or tablet just by thinking. It is for people with paralysis or severe weakness in both arms due to conditions like spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke.
London, Greater LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07224256Recruiting
Brain implant trial to help with communication after injury or disease

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain-computer interfaces?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 23 recruiting brain-computer interfaces 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-computer interfaces 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-computer interfaces 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.
