Breast milk through the nose for HIE
This trial tests whether giving fresh breast milk through the nose is safe and possible for newborns with HIE (a brain injury from oxygen loss at birth) who are already receiving cooling therapy. It may help protect the brain and reduce injury.
BudapestAges Up to 2 days - NCT07683169Recruiting
Trauma molecular processes study
This trial studies biological processes after a traumatic brain injury. It looks at brain tissue samples from patients who need surgery to remove a brain bruise to learn more about healing and injury.
BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT07694258Recruiting
Testing a helmet for brain stimulation in consciousness disorders
This study tests a special helmet that uses ultrasound to stimulate the brain in people with disorders of consciousness caused by brain injury. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and possible to do.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT07732374RecruitingPhase 2
Long-term results after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in veterans
This study follows veterans who previously finished a 40-session hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) program. It tracks how their memory, mood, and daily function are doing 12 weeks later, to understand long-term benefits.
Boise, IdahoAges 18 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 - NCT07759063Enrolling by invitation
Self-paced walking study for stroke or brain injury survivors
This study tests a new way to help people who have had a stroke or brain injury walk with a more even step. It uses a treadmill that adjusts to your own pace, which may improve your walking symmetry.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19–75 - NCT07521384Enrolling by invitation
Real-World Study of Intranasal Cell Therapy for Brain Injuries
This study follows people who receive intranasal stem cell or exosome therapy (tiny packages from special cells) for brain or neurological conditions like stroke, brain injury, or cerebral palsy. Researchers track how well the treatment works by measuring inflammation markers in the blood and monitoring clinical improvements over time.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 4–80 - NCT02550522Recruiting
Using brain signals to control a powered exoskeleton
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface can help you control a powered leg exoskeleton. If you have stable long-term nerve/movement problems and need better mobility, the device may help you move with more independence.
GrenobleAges 18–55 - NCT07127172Recruiting
Brain implant study for controlling devices with your mind
This study tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or tablet just by thinking. It is for people with paralysis or severe weakness in both arms due to conditions like spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke.
London, Greater LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06992596Recruiting
Brain implant study for controlling devices with thoughts
This trial tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices using your thoughts. It's for people with limited arm function due to spinal cord injury, stroke, ALS, or similar conditions.
Abu DhabiAges 18 years+ - NCT03414242Enrolling by invitation
Neck and brain tests after a sports head or neck injury

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT07106060Recruiting
Brain imaging of motor imagery effects in spinal cord injury
This study uses a special camera to see how imagining movement (motor imagery) affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to help understand how the brain recovers after injury.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT07357428Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain injuries?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 460 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.
