LMP744 drug for returning glioblastoma
This trial tests an experimental drug called LMP744 for people whose glioblastoma has come back. It aims to see if the drug can slow or stop tumor growth by targeting specific proteins in cancer cells.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - 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.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 21–80 - NCT06163625Recruiting
Brain activity and memory in treatment-resistant depression
This study looks at how the brain's frontal lobe (DLPFC) works during memory tasks in people with treatment-resistant depression. It compares brain activity between depressed patients and healthy controls using MRI and possibly a brain stimulation technique (rTMS). It aims to understand why some people don't respond to standard treatments.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT07182331Enrolling by invitation
Brain Stimulation and Sensory Training for Children with Autism
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method combined with sensory activities to help children with autism. The goal is to see if this approach can improve how they process sensory information.
AlmatyAges 6–12 - NCT06908174Recruiting
Prosocial behavior and brain differences in autism vs typical development
This study compares how children with and without autism show helpful and kind behaviors, and looks at brain scans to see related differences. It aims to understand the brain networks involved in social behavior.
ShanghaiAges 2–17 - NCT06626789RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brain signal training to help regulate emotions
This study tests a new brain-training technique that may help people with borderline personality disorder manage their emotions better. You will do mental exercises while an MRI scans your brain, and the results will show whether this training can reduce emotional distress.
Freiburg im BreisgauAges 18–65 - NCT05996900Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for adults with epilepsy
This study uses advanced brain monitoring and noninvasive magnetic stimulation to understand how repetitive brain stimulation works in people with epilepsy who are already scheduled for hospital monitoring. It may help develop better treatments for seizures.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT05594017RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Test medicine to change brain rhythms and study memory
This early research study tests whether a medicine can change the brain’s electrical “rhythms” while people do memory-related tasks. It may help researchers understand how brain timing affects memory in people who are already being evaluated with specialized brain electrode monitoring.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT07526740Recruiting
Brain Stimulation and Training for Mild Memory Loss
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with cognitive training games can help people with mild cognitive impairment—early memory and thinking problems. The goal is to see if this combination improves thinking abilities and slows cognitive decline.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 60–85 - NCT06673966Recruiting
Schizophrenia brain and immune health study
This study looks at how immune system health relates to brain changes in people with schizophrenia. It uses brain imaging and electrical activity tests to understand these connections.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT07386769Recruiting
Brain activity during social interaction in opioid use

La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07182344Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation and attention control in kids with ADHD
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help children with ADHD improve their attention. If it works, it could offer a new non-medication option.

Study tracking results after Abbott deep brain stimulator surgery
This study follows people who are getting a new Abbott deep brain stimulator (DBS) device or replacing the battery/implantable pulse generator to see how outcomes change over time. It mainly applies to certain DBS targets and diagnoses, and it uses follow-up visits to track results.
Tucson, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT04095026Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 304 recruiting brain disorder 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 disorder 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 disorder 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.
