The treatment aims to help your gut, liver, and brain work together better, which may reduce your symptoms.
Hualien CityAges 18–64 - NCT07477821Recruiting
Muscle and brain health study in aging and neurological disorders
This study looks at the link between muscle health and brain function in people with different neurological conditions or healthy aging. It may help researchers understand how muscle changes relate to memory, movement, and thinking problems.
CataniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06888219Enrolling by invitation
Acupuncture for Swallowing and Tube Removal After Brain Injury
This study tests if acupuncture on the ear and body can help people with severe brain injuries regain the ability to swallow safely and have their breathing tube removed. It's for patients who are at least 1 month but no more than 3 months after a stroke or brain bleed.
FlorenceAges 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+ - NCT05183152Recruiting
Non-invasive brain signal control for assistive devices
This study tests an assistive device that you control using signals from the brain and muscles without surgery. It may help people with movement problems communicate or operate devices using gentle, non-invasive sensing.
Austin, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07493096Recruiting
Intensive therapy program for children with brain-based conditions
This trial tests an intensive therapy program designed to help children with brain-based conditions like cerebral palsy or autism improve their skills in movement, thinking, and daily activities. The program runs for 2 weeks with daily sessions, and researchers will check for changes in your child's abilities.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 4–12 - NCT07341230Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for alcohol addiction
This trial tests if deep brain stimulation can help people with severe alcohol addiction who haven't been helped by other treatments. It involves implanting a device to stimulate brain areas linked to addiction.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18–60 - NCT07457138Recruiting
Brain health study for people with memory worries
This study looks at people who are worried about their memory or thinking skills, even if tests show no problems. It aims to understand brain health over time in a Lombardy clinic.
Costa Masnaga, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT05893186RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing DBS settings for walking and balance in Parkinson’s
This early-phase study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve posture, walking, and balance in people with Parkinson’s disease. If you already have DBS in place, the trial uses computer-based planning to try different DBS directions and settings to see what helps you most.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–89 - NCT06939348Recruiting
Ultrasound therapy for patients with consciousness disorders

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–79 - NCT07865546Recruiting
Advanced brain scans for epilepsy surgery planning
This study uses a very powerful MRI scanner to get detailed images of the brain. It aims to help doctors better understand and plan surgery for people with epilepsy that doesn't improve with medication.
Pisa, ItalyAges 6–65 - NCT07817706Recruiting
A new noninvasive test for small bowel sensation
This study is developing a new, noninvasive test to measure how the small intestine senses stimulation. It aims to create a 'small intestine stress test' that may help better understand and someday diagnose gut sensitivity issues.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–75 - NCT06005194Recruiting

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.
