Recruiting studies
- NCT07030205Recruiting
Brain imaging study for women with osteoporosis
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to look at how the brain might be linked to bone health in women with osteoporosis. It compares women with osteoporosis to healthy women of the same age.
Clermont-FerrandAges 50 years+ - NCT03233646Recruiting
Retina scans in memory and nerve disorders
This study uses pictures of the back of your eye (retinal imaging) to look for differences in people with neurodegenerative diseases and compares them with people without these conditions. It may help researchers understand eye changes that could connect to brain or nerve health.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05432804RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Selinexor added to temozolomide for recurring brain glioblastoma
This trial studies whether adding selinexor to the standard chemotherapy temozolomide (with radiation) can better treat glioblastoma that has come back after prior treatment. If you meet specific tumor, health, and lab requirements, the goal is to slow tumor growth or improve symptoms.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06875765Recruiting
Long-term brain imaging study for Parkinson's patients
This study uses brain scans to look at nerve endings in people with Parkinson's disease over time. It may help researchers understand how the disease progresses.
LeuvenAges 30 years+ - NCT05115474RecruitingPhase 2
Screening brain MRI study for stage IV breast cancer
This trial checks whether taking screening brain MRI scans in people with stage IV breast cancer helps find brain involvement earlier. It may help guide treatment decisions for those who would otherwise only get brain imaging after symptoms start.
Clearwater, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06884722Recruiting
Brain study of social perception in Parkinson's disease
This study uses brain scans to understand how people with Parkinson's disease process social cues, like faces and emotions. It may help researchers learn more about how Parkinson's affects social thinking.
BronAges 30–75 - NCT05563259Enrolling by invitation
Brain and memory testing in fatty liver disease
This study checks how well your brain and memory work in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It also looks at brain function with special assessments, which may help researchers understand what changes happen with this condition.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 20–75 - NCT05011045Recruiting
Brain radiation study tracking thinking and memory changes
This study looks at how whole-brain radiation affects thinking, memory, and other brain function in people with blood cancers that involve the brain. It may help doctors understand what to expect and which supportive treatments or monitoring could be useful.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05893407Recruiting
Ultrasound test of brain blood flow in ICU injury
This trial tests whether a contrast-enhanced ultrasound can measure blood flow in the brain of people admitted to the ICU for a sudden brain injury. It may help doctors better assess brain damage and guide care using a bedside imaging method.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06961864Recruiting
Brain function in visual snow syndrome
This study uses visual tests and brain scans to understand how the brain processes vision in people with visual snow syndrome compared to those without. It may help researchers learn more about what causes this condition.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–60 - NCT00870129Recruiting
MRI mapping to plan radiation for certain brain tumors
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05661903RecruitingPhase 2
Spinal cord stimulator study for nerve pain and brain effects
This Phase 2 study looks at how spinal cord (or nerve-root) stimulation affects pain signals in the brain and body. You may qualify if you already have a stimulator set to a comfort mode that avoids “tingling” sensations.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06559995RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Ketone drink for alcohol withdrawal
This study tests whether a special ketone drink can ease alcohol withdrawal and help your brain heal. If you have been drinking heavily for at least 3 years and are having withdrawal symptoms now, this might be an option for you.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT05859334RecruitingPhase 2
Erdafitinib for brain tumors that came back or worsened
This Phase 2 study tests erdafitinib, a targeted anti-cancer medicine, for certain brain cancers that have returned or progressed after standard treatment. It may help if your tumor has a specific genetic change (FGFR-TACC fusion) that this drug is designed to attack.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06611254Recruiting
Ultrasound to see blood flow in babies getting cooling therapy
This study uses a special ultrasound with a contrast dye to look at blood flow in the brain and kidneys of newborns with birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen) during cooling treatment. It helps doctors understand how cooling affects these organs.
Erlangen, BavariaAges Any age - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07215910RecruitingPhase 3
Testing vorasidenib with temozolomide after radiation for advanced brain cancer
This trial tests whether adding the targeted drug vorasidenib to standard chemotherapy (temozolomide) after radiation helps people with a specific type of advanced brain cancer called IDH-mutant astrocytoma. It is for patients who have not had previous treatments like chemotherapy or radiation and whose tumors have certain genetic features.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06017973Recruiting
Imaging tests for possible non-convulsive status epilepticus
This trial uses advanced imaging scans (PET-MRI) to help doctors better understand and manage a type of seizure that doesn't cause convulsions. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for people with this condition.
LeuvenAges 16 years+ - NCT05357456Recruiting
Study of brain and memory changes in cortisol-producing adrenal conditions
This study tracks thinking and brain changes over time in people with adrenal findings that produce too much cortisol (a stress hormone) on their own. It may help doctors understand how different treatments or watchful waiting affect the brain and cognition.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 20–65 - 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 - NCT04684368RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment study for children and young adults with NGGCT brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a new treatment approach for certain brain tumors called NGGCT in children and young adults. It may help improve outcomes by targeting tumors in specific brain locations and using tumor marker tests to guide care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3–29

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 189 recruiting brain imaging 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 imaging 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 imaging 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.
