Brain training with neurofeedback for children after brain injury
This study helps children and teens improve thinking and memory after a brain injury or epilepsy using a brain-computer interface that gives feedback as they do mental exercises. It is a training program that may help strengthen brain function.
SingaporeAges 7–21 - NCT04867317RecruitingPhase 3
Growth hormone treatment for veterans with mild traumatic brain injury and hormone deficiency
This study tests whether giving growth hormone, a natural substance that helps the body grow and repair tissues, can improve symptoms in veterans who have both a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) and a deficiency in growth hormone. If you qualify, you may receive the treatment or a placebo (inactive shot), and the study will track your quality of life and symptoms over time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21–55 - NCT07056361Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation for better movement in tremor and Parkinson's
This study tests whether stimulating specific brain areas (VOP/VIM) during deep brain stimulation surgery can improve movement and muscle control. It includes people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease who are already scheduled for this surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT07481396Recruiting
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.
Daejeon, Jung-guAges 18 years+ - NCT06188364RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Helping caregivers of traumatic brain injury patients
This trial tests if mobile health support (texts and calls) helps caregivers of people with traumatic brain injury after rehab. You may join as the main caregiver if you supervise daily care and have a smartphone or can get one.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06624488Recruiting
Brain injury markers after cardiac arrest and outlook
This study looks at certain proteins in the fluid around the brain and in the blood after a cardiac arrest. These proteins may help doctors predict how the patient will recover, which could guide their care.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07230002Recruiting
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+ - NCT07749625Recruiting
Robotic arm training for recovery after stroke or injury
This study tests whether a robotic arm trainer can help improve arm movement and function in people with conditions like stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury. It may help you regain strength and control in your arm.
DhakaAges 18–60 - 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.

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.
