Studying brain injury after cardiac arrest through spinal fluid
This trial is looking at the spinal fluid of people who survived a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated for brain injury. The goal is to learn more about brain damage and find new ways to help patients recover.

Navigating in virtual worlds after brain injury
This study looks at how people who had a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury at least 3 months ago walk and navigate in complex virtual environments. Participants will use virtual reality to test their movement strategies.
RennesAges 18–55 - NCT07635329Recruiting
Home Vision Therapy Guided by Brain Scans
This study tests whether vision rehabilitation exercises done at home, guided by brain imaging, can help people regain vision after a stroke, brain injury, or tumor. Participants will use brain scans to personalize their therapy.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06810336RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Pain control after brain surgery: methadone vs remifentanil
This trial compares two medicines, methadone and remifentanil, to see which one works better for pain after brain surgery. It may help improve your recovery and comfort.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT06876857Recruiting
UCF Cerebrospinal Fluid Biobank for Adults
This is a research biobank at the University of Central Florida that collects and stores cerebrospinal fluid samples for future studies. It is open to most adults who can give their consent.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06956417Recruiting
Memory rehab after concussion
This trial tests a memory rehabilitation program for people who have had a concussion and still have memory problems. It uses a computer, tablet, or smartphone to help improve memory.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–59 - NCT07014748Recruiting
Study of a head scanner for combat brain injuries in Ukraine
This trial tests a handheld scanner to help doctors quickly see if a head injury needs further care. You may join if you have a combat-related head injury with signs of brain trauma and no large scalp wounds.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT07056348Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve movement in Parkinson's or tremor
This study tests brain stimulation in a region called VOP/VIM to see if it can improve motor function. It is for people with movement disorders who are already getting deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT05004610RecruitingPhase 2
Hypertonic lactate treatment after cardiac arrest
This trial studies whether giving a specific IV fluid (hypertonic lactate) soon after resuscitation from cardiac arrest can improve recovery. It is for adults who remain in a deep unresponsive state after return of spontaneous circulation.
Brussels, BelgiumAges 18 years+ - NCT05562232Recruiting
Creatine for persistent concussion symptoms after 6–18 months
This trial studies whether creatine monohydrate can improve long-lasting symptoms after a concussion. It’s for adults whose symptoms have lasted between 6 and 18 months.
OdenseAges 20–45 - NCT05682677Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus cognitive training for depression after mild head injury
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and cognitive training can reduce depression symptoms in people who have ongoing mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help by targeting both mood and thinking/processing skills affected after mTBI.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT05855252Recruiting
Study on monitoring and outcomes after moderate to severe head injury
This observational study follows adults with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury to understand care and outcomes. It collects information from the first 48 hours in the ICU and may help improve how clinicians monitor and treat patients in the critical early period.
Kogarah, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06036147Recruiting
Concussion Recovery Program for Teens
This study tests a remote program to help teens ages 11 to 18 recover from a concussion that happened 1 to 12 months ago. You'll learn ways to manage symptoms like headaches, tiredness, or trouble focusing, all from home.
Dallas, TexasAges 11–18 - NCT07025317Recruiting
Study on concussions and brain training in older adults
This study looks at how repeated concussions affect the brain as we age. It tests a computer-based brain training program and uses MRI scans to see if training can help improve thinking and memory.
Victoria, British ColumbiaAges 60 years+ - NCT07185971Recruiting
Vision training system for chronic vision loss after brain injury
This study tests a device called PAVE that may help improve vision in people who have lost part of their sight due to stroke, brain injury, or brain surgery. It is for those with ongoing vision problems, not those with eye diseases.
Cedar Rapids, IowaAges 21–80 - NCT07404761Recruiting
Moving your arm after stroke or TBI
This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses and augmented reality (a computer overlay on real life) to help people who have arm or hand weakness after a recent stroke or brain injury regain movement.
HaifaAges 18 years+ - NCT06115291Enrolling by invitation
Smell training study for adults with smell loss
This study tests whether a daily smell training routine can help improve your sense of smell. It is open to adults with any kind of smell loss or problem, including those with conditions like COVID-19 or head injury, but not certain brain diseases.

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.
