Stroke recovery and social factors study
This study looks at how social factors (like where you live or your income) might affect thinking and memory after a stroke. If you had a stroke before and joined a related study, you may be able to join this one.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT00575081Recruiting
Brain mapping during stereotactic procedures
This study builds a “brain atlas” by collecting information during stereotactic brain procedures. It may help doctors better plan and understand these brain procedures in the future.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 6–90 - NCT05577598Recruiting
Brain scan study of deep brain stimulation in OCD
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how brain sugar use changes during deep brain stimulation for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It may help researchers understand what brain activity patterns relate to treatment response.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–75 - NCT05446584RecruitingPhase 2
Study memory changes in people with past mild head injury
This Phase 2 study looks at how memory problems (amnestic mild cognitive impairment) may relate to a history of a mild traumatic brain injury. It compares people with a past mild head injury to people without one to better understand what might be driving memory symptoms.
Dallas, TexasAges 55 years+ - NCT07535593RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Electrical Acupoint Stimulation for Consciousness Disorders
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) to help people recover consciousness after severe brain injury. The treatment uses mild electrical pulses on specific points on the hands and may help improve awareness and responsiveness.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT04751331RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study brain response to inflammation in depression
This early-stage study tests how your brain responds to an “inflammatory challenge” in people with major depressive disorder and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand the immune-to-brain link in depression and guide future treatments.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 18–65 - NCT07177261Recruiting
Brain synchrony study for schizophrenia
This study looks at how brain activity syncs between people with schizophrenia and others. It aims to understand social interaction differences—potentially leading to better treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07227987Recruiting
Cognitive rehab for anger in Veterans with TBI and PTSD
This study tests a cognitive rehabilitation program to help Veterans with TBI and PTSD manage anger. You and a trusted support person will participate together to learn skills to reduce anger and improve thinking.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05566496Recruiting
MRI study of different tic disorder types
This study uses MRI (a type of body scan) to look at differences between types of tic disorders in children. It may help doctors better understand what’s happening in conditions like Tourette syndrome and chronic tic disorders.
TaipeiAges birth–18 years - NCT03819608Recruiting
Brain stimulation and rehab after mild concussion with PTSD or cognitive issues
This trial studies whether brain stimulation plus targeted brain rehabilitation can improve symptoms after a mild concussion (mTBI). You may be invited if your concussion happened at least 3 months ago and your symptoms are affecting thinking or mood, with or without PTSD.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT05437705Recruiting
Brain scan and stimulation study for low mood
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and a brain-stimulation method (TMS) to understand and possibly change brain patterns linked with low mood. You may be eligible if you have moderate to severe depression symptoms and can safely complete the scans and stimulation sessions.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT06399952Recruiting
Natural history study for Baker Gordon syndrome
This study follows people with Baker Gordon syndrome over time to better understand the condition. Participants and their caregivers share medical records and complete tests and questionnaires.
Columbia, MissouriAges birth–99 years - NCT06561919Recruiting
