- NCT06399952Recruiting
Natural history study for Baker Gordon syndrome
This study follows people with Baker Gordon syndrome over time to better understand the condition. Participants and their caregivers share medical records and complete tests and questionnaires.
Columbia, MissouriAges birth–99 years - NCT07055633Recruiting
Improving cognitive rehab for veterans with concussion and PTSD
This trial tests a program to help veterans with memory, attention, or thinking problems after a mild concussion (mTBI) and with PTSD. It also looks at depression and sleep issues. The goal is to improve thinking and daily life.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05837676Recruiting
Problem-solving training for concussion symptoms
This trial tests whether a structured problem-solving skill program can improve mood and thinking symptoms after a concussion. It may help Veterans who have had concussion symptoms for several months and are currently feeling psychological distress.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05400499Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation study in Parkinson’s visuomotor function
This trial studies how deep brain stimulation affects hand-eye (visuomotor) coordination in people with Parkinson’s. It may help researchers understand whether the stimulation settings change movement control for daily tasks.
Cleveland, OhioAges Any age - NCT06857851Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation study for movement in Parkinson's
This study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve how you see and move. DBS uses a device implanted in your brain to help control Parkinson's symptoms. This research aims to find better settings for that device to improve your coordination and daily function.
Cleveland, OhioAges Any age - NCT04043442Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Brain stimulation study for alcohol use with mild brain injury
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation to help with day-to-day functioning in people who have alcohol use disorder and a history of mild traumatic brain injury. It also uses brain and symptom testing to see who may benefit most and why.
Hines, IllinoisAges 22–65 - NCT05647044RecruitingPhase 1
Brain stimulation to reduce impulsivity and suicidal thoughts after mild TBI
This early-stage study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (called iTBS) can reduce impulsivity and suicidal thoughts in Veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and recent suicidal thinking. If you qualify, you may be offered a monitored treatment plan and assessments for safety and symptom changes.
Hines, IllinoisAges 22–65 - NCT04286516Recruiting
Brain and robot training for arm movement after stroke
This study tests whether brain stimulation and robotic/arm training can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke. It may help strengthen movement and coordination by targeting brain pathways related to arm control.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 45–90 - NCT06494319Recruiting
PTSD treatment app for veterans with combat trauma
This study tests a virtual training program and mobile app to help veterans manage PTSD from combat. It aims to reduce symptoms and improve daily life.
Houston, TexasAges 18–79 - NCT07752784Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Tau brain imaging in people with mild thinking changes or Alzheimer's
This study uses a special PET scan to take pictures of abnormal tau protein in the brain. It aims to see if the scan results match what is found in brain tissue after death, which could help improve diagnosis of Alzheimer's and related conditions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT06477796Recruiting
Improving sleep in veterans with TBI and sleep problems
This study tests a new way to help Veterans with both a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and sleep problems get better rest. If you are a Veteran with sleep trouble and a history of TBI, this program may help improve your sleep without needing extra medication.
Portland, OregonAges 18–89 - NCT07225582Recruiting
Best sensory feedback for hand function after spinal injury
This study is for people who have already received the ReHAB system in a previous trial. It aims to find the best ways to use sensory feedback from the device to help with hand and arm function after tetraplegia.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22–65 - NCT06109909Recruiting
Brain training for light sensitivity after mild head injury
This study tests if a type of brain training called neurofeedback can help reduce sensitivity to light in people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury, also known as a concussion, at least 6 months ago.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT05811312Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation and brain changes in chronic pain
This study uses non-invasive brain monitoring to see how spinal cord stimulation may change brain activity in people with chronic nerve pain. It aims to better understand how treatment affects the brain and pain over time.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07329621RecruitingPhase 1
Brain imaging study of MSP-2020 in healthy men
This study uses brain scans to see how well an experimental drug called MSP-2020 attaches to certain serotonin receptors in the brain. It may help researchers understand how this drug works in the body.
LondonAges 23–55 - NCT05584124RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation treatment for lasting fatigue after stroke
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation method (repetitive magnetic pulses) to see if it can reduce fatigue that continues long after a stroke. It may help people whose stroke fatigue has lasted more than six months and who can safely undergo repeated sessions.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 34–80 - NCT07050862Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation to help veterans quit smoking
This study tests a personalized brain stimulation treatment to help veterans quit smoking. It uses magnetic pulses to target brain areas involved in addiction, which may reduce cravings and make it easier to stop.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT04124029Recruiting
Study how mild brain injuries may relate to dementia
This study looks at how past mild traumatic brain injury may contribute to brain changes seen in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It may help researchers understand risk and brain markers by comparing people with mild or moderate TBI, people with mild memory problems, and healthy controls.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30–90 - NCT07167732Recruiting
CTNNB1 Syndrome Natural History Study
This study follows people with CTNNB1 syndrome over time to better understand the condition. It does not test any new treatment—just collects information to help future research.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain development?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 67 recruiting brain development 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 development 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 development 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.
