Animal-assisted therapy for kids after brain injury
This study looks at whether guided time with therapy animals helps children recover after an acquired brain injury, and what factors affect whether it works. Families may be asked to allow animal sessions and track responses over time.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 4–24 - NCT07267819Recruiting
Xeomin for migraines after a brain injury or health incident
This trial looks at whether Xeomin (a shot that relaxes muscles) helps prevent migraines in people who have had a traumatic brain injury or an unexplained health event, such as a blast or sudden illness.

Online brain testing for people with neurological conditions
This trial studies how well a remote, online memory and thinking assessment works for people with neurological disorders or injuries. You may be invited if you can do the computer-based testing and speak Swedish.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT07109804Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation to improve walking after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether stimulating a small area deep in the brain (the cuneiform nucleus) with a device called deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people walk better after a spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if it improves walking speed and stability.
Miami, FloridaAges 22–70 - NCT04869059Recruiting
tDCS for mild brain injury memory word finding
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) can improve word-retrieval problems after a mild or moderate concussion-like brain injury. It may help if testing shows trouble finding the right words when speaking.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06523127Recruiting
Life support decisions and quality of life after severe brain injury
This study looks at patients with severe brain injuries who were in the ICU in 2022. It explores how decisions about life-sustaining treatment affect their quality of life two years later.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT07135791Recruiting
Tracking daily fatigue in adults with brain injury or cerebral palsy
This study uses a smartphone app to track how fatigue changes throughout the day in adults with cerebral palsy or acquired brain injury. The goal is to better understand fatigue patterns so doctors can offer better support.
Glostrup MunicipalityAges 30–65 - NCT07413900Recruiting
Brain injury study for babies and toddlers
This study looks at biomarkers (biological signs) in infants who had a brain injury around birth or were born very early, and compares them with healthy babies. The goal is to learn more about brain injuries and recovery.
Madison, WisconsinAges 3 months–2 years - NCT07463027Enrolling by invitation
Veteran brain injury rehab with integrated care
This trial tests a 3-week rehabilitation program for veterans with traumatic brain injury and other conditions. It aims to improve recovery through team-based care.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–65 - NCT05364749Recruiting
CT scan approach for people on blood thinners after head injury
This trial looks at a more targeted CT scan plan for people who are on blood thinners and have a head injury. It may help doctors decide who needs imaging right away and how to keep care safe and efficient.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 16 years+ - NCT07197918Recruiting
Finding brain injury with a portable MRI after cardiac arrest
This study uses a portable MRI machine to look for brain injury in people who remain unconscious after their heartbeat is restored (ROSC) from a cardiac arrest. If you are having a standard MRI and being treated with temperature control, you may be eligible.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07269457RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin D3 for recovery after mild to moderate brain injury
This trial tests if taking vitamin D3 can help reduce swelling and speed up recovery after a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury. It is for people who have low vitamin D levels.
LagosAges 18–65 - NCT02793999Recruiting
Near-infrared monitoring to guide cooling in newborns
This study tests a special, non-invasive sensor (near-infrared light) to help doctors choose the best cooling treatment for some newborns after brain injury. It may improve how well cooling works and how safely it’s managed in the first week of life.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 2 years - NCT07490418Recruiting
Brain injury screening for mild head trauma or neurological symptoms
This trial tests a device (TES HT100) to screen for brain injuries in people with mild head trauma or certain neurological symptoms. It aims to quickly identify who might need imaging or follow-up care.
Castel Volturno, CEAges 18 years+ - NCT07381959Recruiting
Brain injury markers in children with brain tumors
This study looks at markers of brain injury in children with brain tumors who have or have not received radiation therapy, compared to healthy children. It aims to better understand how treatments affect the brain.

Study on energy and protein in severe brain injury patients
This study measures how your body uses energy and protein if you are in the ICU with a severe brain injury while on a breathing machine. It can help doctors better understand your recovery needs.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain injuries?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 451 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.
