A new brain stimulation study for early Alzheimer's
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method (temporal interference stimulation) to see if it can improve memory in people with early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to understand how the stimulation affects brain function.
Sanya, HainanAges 60–80 - NCT07312435Recruiting
B vitamins and Omega-3s for brain health in older adults
This trial tests whether taking B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids can slow brain shrinkage in older adults. It may help those with low vitamin levels keep their memory sharp.
OsloAges 65 years+ - NCT04182087Recruiting
Testing thinking skills after a localized brain injury
This trial studies how your thinking and memory abilities work after a single, localized brain injury seen on MRI. It involves cognitive (thinking) tasks to assess changes and may help researchers understand brain function after injury.
GrenobleAges 18–70 - NCT04306432Recruiting
Check how cognitive tests change after brain tumor radiation
This trial studies how radiation therapy affects thinking and memory in adults with certain brain tumors. It may help doctors understand which patients are more likely to have cognitive side effects and how to measure them over time.
Copenhagen, Capital RegionAges 18–100 - NCT07074938Recruiting
Traditional Chinese medicine for brain injury recovery
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine called An Gong Niuhuang Wan can help people recover brain function after a traumatic brain injury and surgery. It may be a good fit if you are moderately affected (GCS 6–12) and your condition is stable enough to start treatment within three days.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–60 - NCT07319078Recruiting
Online treatment for kids with stomach pain
This study tests an internet-based program to help children and teens with certain long-term stomach conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or ongoing stomach pain. It aims to see if online tools can reduce symptoms and improve daily life.
StockholmAges 8–17 - NCT05342454Recruiting
Brain tumor surgery patients using brain scan and mapping software
This study checks a new computer software tool that helps doctors map important brain networks and how blood flow responds during brain scans. It may help improve planning and safety for people having brain tumor surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03609112Recruiting
Study brain and thinking risks in children with solid tumors
This study looks at how cancer treatment may affect children’s thinking and brain health. It may help doctors better understand risks so they can monitor and support learning and memory during and after treatment.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges Any age - NCT06081218Recruiting
Exercise and brain function in cannabis users
This study looks at how a single session of exercise affects brain function and memory in regular cannabis users compared to non-users. You will exercise on a bike or watch a movie, and then do memory tests and a blood draw.
LilleAges 18–35 - NCT04296604Recruiting
tDCS brain stimulation to improve thinking and mood
This study tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation called tDCS can improve “executive function,” which means skills like planning, focus, and decision-making. It is designed for people with several mental health and substance-use conditions, and it may help you if those skills are affected by your diagnosis.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT06857851Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation study for movement in Parkinson's
This study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve how you see and move. DBS uses a device implanted in your brain to help control Parkinson's symptoms. This research aims to find better settings for that device to improve your coordination and daily function.
Cleveland, OhioAges Any age - NCT06797661Recruiting
Brain lesion blood flow study before surgery
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain changes when there is a mass that can be removed with surgery. You would join before any treatment, which helps doctors understand the link between the brain lesion and blood vessel function.
BrusselsAges 18–90 - NCT07044596Recruiting
Non-invasive brain stimulation to slow cognitive decline
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation can help slow memory loss or thinking problems. It is looking for healthy volunteers and people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury within the past year.
Madison, WisconsinAges 20–85 - NCT02543424Recruiting

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.
