Recruiting studies
- NCT05989646Recruiting
Brain activity study in children with overactive bladder
This study looks at brain activity in children with overactive bladder and daytime wetting compared to healthy children. It uses MRI scans to understand how the brain controls the bladder, which could lead to better treatments.
AalborgAges 6–14 - NCT05017142Recruiting
Pediatric brain inflammation registry for Swiss patients
This study is a registry that collects health information from children and teens in Switzerland diagnosed with certain inflammatory brain and spinal cord conditions. It helps researchers understand these illnesses better over time and may guide future treatments.
Aarau, Canton of AargauAges Up to 36 years - NCT04770025RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation with therapy for risky alcohol use
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation device can make standard psychotherapy work better for people who drink in a risky way. It’s designed for community participants who are not already in alcohol-use treatment.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 21–60 - NCT06912841Enrolling by invitation
Deep brain stimulation for genetic movement disorders
This trial is for people of any age with a genetic movement disorder who are getting or considering deep brain stimulation (DBS). It tries to match the best DBS settings for each person.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06904508Recruiting
Therapy for anxiety in autistic youth from high-need communities
This trial tests whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help reduce anxiety in autistic children and teens. It also looks at brain activity changes before and after therapy.
Montclair, New JerseyAges 8–14 - NCT02670161Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Using electronic records to improve care for brain and nerve conditions
This study looks at how doctors use electronic medical records to improve treatment and care for people with certain brain and nervous system conditions. It may help because it tests practice-based approaches across neurology visits.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18–100 - NCT07560696Recruiting
Web-based therapy for thinking and speech after illness
This study tests whether patients recovering from serious illness in the ICU or stroke ward can use a web-based platform called Cognishine to help rebuild their thinking skills and speech ability. The goal is to see if this online approach works well and is practical for patients receiving support from therapists.
LiverpoolAges 18 years+ - NCT05085704Recruiting
Brain scans to study metabolism in healthy and diabetic people
This study uses MRI brain scans at different strengths to measure how the brain uses energy (metabolism) in health and in people with genetically confirmed G1D. It may help researchers understand brain energy changes related to metabolic disease and diabetes.
New York, New YorkAges 16–80 - NCT02531880RecruitingPhase 1
MRI test of a brain barrier issue in hard-to-treat epilepsy
This early-phase study uses a special MRI approach to look for signs that the “blood-brain barrier” is breaking down in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It may help researchers understand what is happening in the brain and guide future treatments, though it is primarily a testing/study study.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–60 - NCT07745712Recruiting
Testing a robotic exoskeleton for children with walking difficulties
This trial tests a robotic exoskeleton called ABLE Kids to help children with walking difficulties due to neurological or muscle conditions. It checks if the device is safe and works well. Children who meet certain size and health requirements may be eligible to participate.
Girona, GironaAges Up to 17 years - NCT07202494Recruiting
Brain aging and resilience MRI study
This study uses powerful MRI scans to understand how the brain ages and why some people stay healthy while others develop neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's. It compares healthy volunteers to people with certain conditions, and all participants get a detailed brain MRI.
MarseilleAges 18–90 - NCT07264166Enrolling by invitation
Gene therapy trial for cerebral palsy and HIE
This trial tests a gene therapy given as a nose spray for people with cerebral palsy or HIE. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps improve movement over two years.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 2–65 - NCT06938542Enrolling by invitation
Palliative care needs for kids with rare diseases
This study asks children with rare diseases and their families about what kind of palliative care (comfort and support) they need. It aims to understand how to better help families through their child's illness.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–99 - NCT06583395Enrolling by invitation
Meditation retreat study with fitness tracker
This trial studies people attending a 7-day meditation retreat to see how meditation affects well-being. You will wear a fitness tracker and answer surveys.
Palm Desert, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - 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 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.
