Recruiting studies
- NCT00912041Recruiting
Test of a brain-to-computer device for quadriplegia
This study tests whether a tiny brain computer interface can help people with quadriplegia (loss of movement in all four limbs) communicate or control technology. It’s mainly a feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the device can work safely and reliably in real life.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07521930Recruiting
Brain implant to restore communication and movement control
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT07052344Recruiting
Brain-gut connection study in spinal cord injury
This study looks at how the brain and gut communicate in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and healthy controls. It uses non-invasive methods to understand these signals, which might help improve bowel and overall health.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT01894802Recruiting
Brain recording and stimulation to help control a computer
This study tests a brain-machine interface that records brain activity and uses stimulation to help people with severe hand/arm movement loss communicate or control tasks using a computer. It may help restore some control and reduce dependence on hands that cannot be used normally.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 22–70 - NCT06888817RecruitingPhase 3
Bevacizumab vs steroids for brain radiation injury
This trial tests if bevacizumab works better than steroids for people with brain swelling caused by radiation. If you have this condition and meet certain health requirements, you may join.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06529380Recruiting
Brain stimulation for severe self-harm in children with autism
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation can reduce severe self-injurious behaviors in children with autism. If standard treatments haven't worked, this approach may offer a new option.
Toronto, OntarioAges 5–17 - 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+ - NCT06867809Recruiting
Spinal and brain stimulation for arm movement after neck injury
This study tests whether using a combination of spinal and brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a cervical spinal cord injury (neck area) at least one year ago. It is for those with some remaining movement but not full strength.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07603752Recruiting
Brain implant to restore arm movement in spinal cord injury
This trial tests a wireless implant placed on the brain's surface to help people with cervical (neck-level) spinal cord injuries regain some arm and hand movement. The device reads brain signals and sends them to muscles, potentially bypassing the damaged spinal cord.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07640711Recruiting
Brain-Computer Interface for High Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) system designed to help people with severe spinal cord injuries regain some ability to move or control devices using their thoughts. The device reads signals directly from the brain to bypass the injured spinal cord.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18–70 - NCT07334977RecruitingPhase 2
Brain and spinal cord stimulation after stroke or injury
This trial tests whether stimulating the brain and spinal cord together can help people recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury. It also includes a healthy control group for comparison.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06429735Recruiting
Robot-implanted brain-computer interface for severe paralysis
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device that lets you control a computer with your thoughts) that is implanted by a robot. It is for people with severe paralysis who may benefit from a new way to communicate or control devices.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 22–75 - NCT05936619Recruiting
Brain-computer device for communication in people with paralysis
This trial tests a “brain-computer interface” that aims to help people with paralysis communicate. It involves surgery to place a device and uses frequent follow-ups, including daily help from a caregiver to watch the surgical area and behavior.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07784088Recruiting
Wireless brain implant for tetraplegia
This trial tests a new implantable brain-computer interface designed to help people with tetraplegia (paralysis of arms and legs) control devices using their thoughts. It may help improve independence and quality of life.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT05273216Recruiting
Study blood vessel injury after clot removal for stroke
This trial looks at how blood flow damage (“reperfusion injury”) happens after mechanical clot removal in certain stroke types. It may help doctors better prevent complications after the procedure.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06606119Recruiting
Brain, bone marrow, and gut study after major injury
This study is looking at how the brain, bone marrow, and gut interact after a severe injury. It may help doctors understand how to better treat trauma patients.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT06104735Recruiting
Hand training with brain and spinal cord stimulation after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether combining hand exercises with stimulation of the brain and spinal cord can improve hand function after a spinal cord injury. You would attend about 53 study visits at the Bronx VA Medical Center.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT05665998Recruiting
Brain-controlled spinal stimulation for arm rehab after neck injury
This study tests a brain-controlled spinal stimulation approach to improve arm (upper limb) movement after a neck spinal cord injury. It may help people who have very limited arm function after a stable, traumatic injury, using frequent training and device-related checks.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18–75 - NCT07224256Recruiting
Brain implant trial to help with communication after injury or disease
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) that is implanted by a robot. It is designed to help people who have lost the ability to speak clearly or use their hands well, due to conditions like ALS, stroke, or spinal cord injury.
Dallas, TexasAges 22–75 - NCT06710626Enrolling by invitation
Using brain implants to control assistive devices
This trial looks at how well people who already have a Neuralink N1 brain implant can use it to control assistive devices like computers or wheelchairs. It's only for people already in the PRIME Study who meet certain safety and performance checks.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT05818410Recruiting
Brain and tech training after below-knee leg loss
This study looks at how your brain works with assistive technology after losing a leg below the knee. It may help researchers improve how prosthetic devices feel and function by measuring brain and movement signals during training.
BrusselsAges 18–65 - NCT06700304Recruiting
Brain implant to help control devices with thoughts
This clinical trial tests a brain-computer interface (a small device implanted in the brain) that may help people with severe paralysis control external devices like a computer or tablet using only their thoughts. The study is for adults with paralysis from a spinal cord injury or ALS, and requires a stable caregiver.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19 years+ - NCT06829212Recruiting
Wireless brain implant for device control
This trial tests a wireless brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or wheelchair just by thinking. It's designed for people with paralysis or double arm amputations who want to regain some independence.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain injuries?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 459 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.
