Study infections of the brain and spinal fluid in Denmark
This trial focuses on people in Denmark who may have an infection in the brain or the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. Researchers aim to collect and compare diagnostic results for different infection types (viral meningitis, bacterial meningitis, encephalitis, and others) to help confirm the cause and guide care.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT07799402Recruiting
How gut and brain health change with age
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut are linked to brain health as you age. It includes people with normal memory, mild memory problems, or Alzheimer's disease, and aims to find ways to keep brains healthy as we get older.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07455760Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation and speech sequencing study
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation affects speech in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It tests whether the stimulation changes the way you say sequences of sounds.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06320132Recruiting
Study on brain bleed recovery in the ICU
This study looks at how patients recover after a sudden, non-traumatic brain bleed. It aims to learn more about their brain function and daily living skills over time.

Optimizing heart rate for persistent concussion symptoms in military veterans
This trial tests a treatment designed to improve heart rate variability, which may help reduce long-term concussion symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and trouble sleeping. It is for military veterans who have had a mild concussion more than a year ago and still have ongoing symptoms.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06716489Recruiting
Exercise study for women with migraine
This study tests whether aerobic exercise can help reduce migraine symptoms and improve how your body senses and responds to pain. It is specifically for women aged 18–48 who have migraine headaches 3–8 days per month.
Ribeirão Preto, São PauloAges 18–48 - NCT05892510RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tenecteplase after clot removal for no-reflow stroke
This trial tests whether giving tenecteplase directly into the brain artery after a thrombectomy can improve outcomes when blood flow doesn’t fully return (“no-reflow”) in an emergency stroke. It may help some people by reducing ongoing clot-related blockage after the main clot is removed.
Gold Coast, QueenslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05292794Recruiting
CereGate therapy for freezing of gait in Parkinson’s
This trial tests whether CereGate therapy can reduce “freezing of gait,” a walking problem, in people with Parkinson’s disease who already have deep brain stimulation (DBS). If you meet the device and medication stability requirements, the study may help your walking and movement symptoms measured during testing.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 21–80 - NCT04322734Recruiting
Blood tests study immune and metabolism markers in neurodevelopment
This study looks for biological “signals” in blood—related to the immune system and metabolism—to better understand conditions like autism and other brain or development-related disorders. It may help researchers find markers that could guide future diagnosis or treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 18 years - NCT04061135Recruiting
Study brain and movement patterns in Parkinson’s or tremor
This study looks at brain signals, thinking, and movement behaviors in people who have Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor and are being considered for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It may help researchers better understand how DBS affects the brain and day-to-day function.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT00585572Enrolling by invitation
Wisconsin Brain Donor Program for research after death
This program collects donated brain tissue and related samples after death to help researchers study brain diseases. You may be eligible if you’re an approved family member of a specific study participant, or you meet certain health and consent requirements.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07099859RecruitingPhase 4
Losartan after aortic valve surgery for severe leakage
This trial tests if the drug losartan can help the heart recover better after surgery to replace a leaky aortic valve. It may reduce strain on the heart and improve long-term outcomes.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–85 - NCT06329726Recruiting
Thinking and memory after brain stimulation for Parkinson's
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease over time. It compares results from people who have DBS and those who receive only medication.
Milan, LombardyAges 18–70 - NCT07306104Recruiting
Long-term daily brain stimulation with mild electromagnets for Parkinson's
This trial tests whether daily, long-term use of pulsed electromagnetic fields applied to the head can help reduce Parkinson's symptoms. It is for people with mild to moderate Parkinson's who are not on certain blood thinners and have no major health complications like other neurological diseases or active implants.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT07299279Recruiting
Exercise for Brain Health in Parkinson's
This trial studies whether a physical activity program can improve brain health and thinking skills in people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive impairment. It is designed for those who are not already very active.
Roma, RomeAges 30–80 - NCT04605263Enrolling by invitation
Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s walking and falls
This study tests a brain surgery treatment (deep brain stimulation) to help improve gait problems such as freezing of walking, gait instability, or falls in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help people whose walking symptoms are not well controlled by levodopa (a common Parkinson’s medicine).
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07698236Enrolling by invitation
Temporal interference brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference to see if it can improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It is for people aged 40 to 80 who are on stable Parkinson's medications and have mild to moderate symptoms.
ShanghaiAges 40–80 - NCT07567794Recruiting
Gut-Brain Connection Study in Parkinson's Disease
This research examines how the gut and brain are connected in Parkinson's disease and aims to better understand the disease. You'd participate in visits and tests over three years, including some involving your digestive system.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 328 recruiting brain diseases 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 diseases 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 diseases 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.
