Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–45 - NCT06617377Recruiting
Can MRI predict brain recovery after cardiac arrest?
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to try to predict whether people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest will recover. It is looking for adults who are in a coma and have not woken up after being taken off sedation medicines for at least three days.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT07346989Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve function in frail older adults
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) to see if it can improve physical function and daily activities in older adults who are showing early signs of frailty. You will be asked to do some simple exercises and cognitive tasks while receiving or not receiving the stimulation.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 65–90 - NCT03857529Recruiting
Rehab training for stroke arm control using brain and hand stimulation
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT05565443Recruiting
Ultrasound plus GCase treatment for Parkinson’s symptoms
This trial studies whether MR-guided focused ultrasound combined with an enzyme treatment called GCase can improve Parkinson’s disease. It includes people with specific Parkinson’s diagnosis and scan findings, and it may help those with certain genetic or imaging markers.
Toronto, OntarioAges 35–80 - NCT06320132Recruiting
Study on brain bleed recovery in the ICU
This study looks at how patients recover after a sudden, non-traumatic brain bleed. It aims to learn more about their brain function and daily living skills over time.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06643013Recruiting
Targeting brain blood vessels to help small vessel disease
This study tests a drug that targets a protein called TSPO to see if it can improve the function of the cells lining the small blood vessels in the brain of people with cerebral small vessel disease. It may help with mild memory or thinking problems.
LondonAges 60–90 - NCT07269353Recruiting
Brain-computer interface study for teens with cerebral palsy
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) can help teenagers with cerebral palsy improve wrist movement in their affected arm. It may offer a new way to strengthen arm function without surgery or needles.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 12–17 - NCT07662291Recruiting
Effects of forehead nerve stimulation on brain and heart
This study tests how gentle electrical stimulation on your forehead (like a tiny healing patch) affects brain waves and heart rate in healthy people. You will have two MRI scans on different days—one with the device turned on and one with it off—to see if the tingling sensation changes your brain or body activity.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–35 - NCT07567599Enrolling by invitation
Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson's Disease
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease who are having a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS), where thin electrodes are placed in the brain to help control movement symptoms. Researchers will track how well the surgery works and how it affects daily activities.
Belo Horizonte, Minas GeraisAges Any age - 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+ - NCT05022940Recruiting
Track recovery and participation after adult brain injury rehab
This study follows adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) during and after rehabilitation, to better understand how recovery and daily participation change over time. It may help improve rehab programs for people like you in the future.
Montreal, QuebecAges 17 years+ - NCT07225582Recruiting
Best sensory feedback for hand function after spinal injury
This study is for people who have already received the ReHAB system in a previous trial. It aims to find the best ways to use sensory feedback from the device to help with hand and arm function after tetraplegia.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22–65 - NCT06981897Enrolling by invitation
Early cognitive rehab for moderate brain injury recovery
This trial tests whether starting cognitive rehabilitation early after a moderate traumatic brain injury helps improve thinking, memory, and daily function. If you're an adult with a moderate brain injury who is medically stable, this study may help you regain skills faster.
Cairo, ManialAges 18 years+ - NCT05343130Recruiting
Brain-controlled electrical therapy for arm mobility after spinal injury
This trial studies a brain-computer system that helps control electrical stimulation to improve arm movement after a spinal cord injury. It may help with functional use of the upper limbs during rehabilitation if you meet the specific injury, spasticity, and safety requirements.
Tlalpan, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07026734Recruiting
Speech and Swallow Effects of Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects speech and swallowing in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to help understand changes so doctors can better support you after DBS surgery.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 45–85 - NCT02290834Recruiting
Studying brain and thinking changes after chemotherapy in older breast cancer patients
This study looks at how chemotherapy may affect memory and thinking, using thinking tests and possibly brain imaging. It compares older breast cancer patients who do and do not get chemotherapy, plus a group of healthy older adults.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 60 years+ - NCT07130929Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for muscle weakness after severe stroke
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation technique, called functional electrical stimulation, can help patients recover muscle strength after a severe stroke that left them weak in the arms and legs. It may offer a new way to aid rehabilitation in the early months after stroke.
Florence, FIAges 18–80 - NCT06408415Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 184 recruiting brain function 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 function 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 function 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.
