Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06950437Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy for language in children with autism
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called aiTBS, guided by brain scans, to help improve language in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is for children aged 3 to 6.5 years who have language delays and speak Mandarin.
BeijingAges 3–6 - NCT06375265Recruiting
Sleep improvement program for older surgery patients
This trial tests a digital sleep improvement program for older adults who are about to have knee or hip replacement surgery. It aims to help you sleep better before and after surgery, which may improve your brain health and recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT06203626Recruiting
Portable MRI for brain imaging at the bedside
This study is testing a new, portable MRI machine that can be used right at your bedside. It aims to see if it can take clear pictures of the brain for people with strokes, brain conditions, or symptoms of a brain problem.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT05216770RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain-scan study of voice dystonia and tremor
This early study uses brain and voice-related testing to better understand what is happening in the brain in people with laryngeal dystonia or voice tremor. The results may help scientists learn more about these conditions and how they differ from healthy voices.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07354139Recruiting
Can brain stimulation help adults who stutter speak more fluently?
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce speech errors in adults who have stuttered since childhood. If you are 22 or older, speak English as your main language, and have developmental stuttering, you may be able to join.
Richardson, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT07096336Recruiting
Vitamin D3 and brain waves in Parkinson's study
This study tests whether taking vitamin D3 can improve brain wave patterns in men with Parkinson's disease who have low vitamin D levels. It may help understand if vitamin D supports brain health.
Dhaka, ShahbagAges 51–70 - NCT06618703Recruiting
Brain radiation in childhood: early hormone check
This study follows children who had brain radiation for cancer to check for early hormone changes. It aims to catch and treat any hormone problems sooner.
AngersAges 4–18 - NCT06529380Recruiting
Brain stimulation for severe self-harm in children with autism
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation can reduce severe self-injurious behaviors in children with autism. If standard treatments haven't worked, this approach may offer a new option.
Toronto, OntarioAges 5–17 - NCT06073886RecruitingPhase 2
Better brain stimulation for long-lasting concussion symptoms
This trial tests whether personalized brain stimulation can help people who have ongoing symptoms more than 20 on a standard concussion scale, such as headaches, dizziness, or trouble concentrating, after a mild head injury in the past year.
Westwood, Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT05925322Recruiting
Social reward therapy for depression-related suicidal thoughts
This study looks at whether “social reward” psychotherapy can change brain activity and reduce suicidal thoughts in adults ages 50–80 who also have major depression. You may be offered psychotherapy along with brain scans to see how your brain responds over time.
New York, New YorkAges 50–80 - NCT07246044Recruiting
Brain stimulation for teens with bipolar depression targeting S1
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (HD-tDCS) to see if it can help teens with bipolar disorder who are currently in a depressive episode. It aims to find a new treatment option for adolescent bipolar depression.

Alcohol and social interaction brain study
This study looks at how drinking alcohol affects brain activity during social interactions. You will be asked to visit the lab, consume a measured amount of alcohol, and have your brain activity recorded while talking or interacting with others. It aims to help understand social brain function.
Champaign, IllinoisAges 21–30 - NCT06821646Enrolling by invitation
Brain responses in depression and autism with TMS and EEG
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) and brain wave recording (EEG) to understand how the brain works in people with autism, depression, or both. It may help find better ways to treat these conditions.

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.
