New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03170440Recruiting
Non-invasive nerve stimulation for PTSD and sleep
This study tests a non-invasive way to stimulate nerves without surgery in people with PTSD, especially looking at sleep and related symptoms. It may help by improving how your nervous system and sleep patterns work over time.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–55 - 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+ - NCT03578003Recruiting
Bright morning light to improve sleep in veterans
This study tests whether using bright morning light can improve sleep quality in veterans. You may be able to join if you’re not already using a light box and you don’t have certain eye or mood conditions.
Portand, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT03694626Recruiting
Test a light-response study to measure and track light sensitivity
This study aims to objectively measure how your pupils respond to light and how your eye muscles react using recording tests. It may help confirm the cause of light sensitivity (especially after a brain injury) and better track how it responds to care.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT03957343Recruiting
Parkwood Pacing and Planning app for concussion recovery
This study tests a smartphone or tablet app (the Parkwood Pacing and Planning app) that may help people after a mild concussion manage recovery. You may be able to join if you’re an adult, can use the app device, and have a confirmed mild concussion.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03990909Recruiting
BCAA supplements to help improve sleep
This pilot study tests whether taking BCAA supplements can improve sleep problems. You may be able to join if you’re a veteran with sleep issues and can do the study by phone.
Portland, OregonAges 18–89 - 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 - NCT04442971Recruiting
Music therapy for consciousness recovery after brain injury
This trial studies whether music therapy can help improve the level of consciousness in people recovering from a traumatic brain injury. If you are in early neurological rehabilitation, it may be offered as an add-on approach to support recovery.
Hessisch OldendorfAges 18–85 - NCT04445649Recruiting
Find factors to help people regain consciousness after brain injury
This study looks at what predicts recovery of consciousness after certain serious brain injuries, such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. It may help clinicians better identify which patients are more likely to wake up and guide early rehabilitation and care.
Hessisch OldendorfAges 18–85 - NCT04459806Recruiting
Study dose timing to improve care for brain injury
This trial studies how to time medication or treatment doses when a person has serious brain injury, using measurements from a pressure monitor in the skull. It may help doctors manage brain swelling and pressure more effectively.
Monza, MBAges 18–80 - NCT04550377RecruitingPhase 2
Cannabidiol for PTSD, including PTSD after mild head injury
This Phase 2 study tests whether cannabidiol (CBD) can reduce PTSD symptoms, including in people who also had a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). It’s meant to see if CBD is helpful and safe for PTSD symptoms over the study period.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT04602325Recruiting
Blood and brain injury biomarker study for inherited metabolic disorders
This trial studies blood and other measurable signs (biomarkers) that may reflect brain injury after certain inherited metabolic conditions. Results may help doctors better detect and understand brain effects from these illnesses, especially episodes that affect the brain.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 7–18 - NCT04610697Recruiting
Cognitive training for people in forensic mental health care
This trial studies whether a structured “cognitive remediation” program (training thinking skills) can help people receiving care on a forensic treatment unit. It may benefit those who want support improving attention, memory, or problem-solving as part of their treatment.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18–55 - NCT04712591Recruiting
Testing a recovery approach for people with severe brain injury
This study is testing a recovery strategy for adults who are in intensive care after a severe brain injury and are not able to follow commands. It may help doctors learn better ways to support recovery in this critical situation.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04982562Recruiting
7-tesla MRI for symptoms after a mild concussion
This study checks whether a stronger MRI scan (7-tesla) can help diagnose and better understand ongoing symptoms after a mild concussion. You would be scanned about 7 days after your injury to compare results with typical care.
PoitiersAges 20–72 - NCT05049057RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a nerve-blocking shot for recent mild TBI
This Phase 2 study tests a medication that blocks a pain signal (a CGRP receptor antibody) in people who recently had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and are also dealing with post-traumatic headache (PTH). The goal is to see if it can reduce symptoms and improve recovery after the injury.
Fort Bragg, North CarolinaAges 18–50 - NCT05115929Recruiting
Surgery for dangerously high pressure after head injury
This trial compares two emergency surgery approaches for people with traumatic brain injury who have dangerously high pressure inside the skull that does not improve with standard treatments. The goal is to see which approach leads to better long-term outcomes.
ClamartAges 18–65 - NCT05176392Recruiting
Stimulation treatment plus therapy for post-injury headaches

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain injuries?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 452 recruiting brain injuries 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 injuries 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 injuries 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.
