Thinking and blood vessel health after head injury
This study looks at how a past traumatic brain injury (TBI) might affect your thinking skills and blood vessel health over time. You may be eligible if you had a TBI at least 3 years ago and have already completed an earlier evaluation at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE).
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–74 - NCT06127667Recruiting
Balance, brain health, and aging
This study looks at how your brain and blood vessels work together to keep you balanced as you age. It may help researchers understand why some people stay steady on their feet and others don't.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–95 - NCT06615973Recruiting
Stroke recovery and social factors study
This study looks at how social factors (like where you live or your income) might affect thinking and memory after a stroke. If you had a stroke before and joined a related study, you may be able to join this one.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT05331521RecruitingPhase 3
Study to improve brain function in newly diagnosed glioma patients
This Phase 3 study tests a treatment plan after surgery to improve brain function and quality of life in adults with newly diagnosed, specific types of brain tumors (gliomas). It may help you keep thinking clearly and living better while your tumor is treated with standard medicines.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07755670Recruiting
Brain scans to understand hidradenitis suppurativa
This study uses MRI brain scans to see if brain activity differs in people with hidradenitis suppurativa (a painful skin condition) compared to healthy volunteers. It also tracks how treatment affects the brain over 3 months.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–45 - NCT06312748RecruitingPhase 1
Improving blood vessels in veterans with heart failure
This test is looking at whether certain medications (like statins) can help improve blood vessel health in veterans who have heart failure with preserved pumping function. It may help reduce symptoms and keep you out of the hospital.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT05483465RecruitingPhase 4
NAD supplement trial for brain blood vessel health in aging
This trial studies whether taking an NAD supplement can support brain blood vessel health as people age. Participants will be tested for brain and health changes and may help researchers understand how to keep the brain’s blood vessels healthier over time.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 60–85 - NCT06151015Recruiting
Dietary nitrate and calorie restriction for brain health
This study tests whether eating foods rich in dietary nitrates (like beets) combined with reducing calorie intake improves memory and blood vessel function in older adults.
Nottingham, NottinghamshireAges 60–75 - NCT06335836Recruiting
Social connections and brain health in memory decline
This study looks at how being socially isolated or socially active affects memory and brain health in people who feel their thinking is getting worse. You may join if you notice a slow decline in memory or thinking, but otherwise have normal test results.
Nanjing, China, JiangsuAges 45–85 - NCT05079464Recruiting
Exercise plus brain stimulation to improve memory in early impairment
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program, paired with brain stimulation, can improve thinking and memory in people with early “vascular” cognitive problems (not dementia). It may help your brain function before memory loss becomes more severe.
Toronto, OntarioAges 50 years+ - NCT06643013Recruiting
Targeting brain blood vessels to help small vessel disease
This study tests a drug that targets a protein called TSPO to see if it can improve the function of the cells lining the small blood vessels in the brain of people with cerebral small vessel disease. It may help with mild memory or thinking problems.
LondonAges 60–90 - NCT02290834Recruiting
Studying brain and thinking changes after chemotherapy in older breast cancer patients
This study looks at how chemotherapy may affect memory and thinking, using thinking tests and possibly brain imaging. It compares older breast cancer patients who do and do not get chemotherapy, plus a group of healthy older adults.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 60 years+ - NCT07130929Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for muscle weakness after severe stroke
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation technique, called functional electrical stimulation, can help patients recover muscle strength after a severe stroke that left them weak in the arms and legs. It may offer a new way to aid rehabilitation in the early months after stroke.
Florence, FIAges 18–80 - NCT05274919Recruiting
Brain tumor MRI pattern study to map tumor genetics
This study uses special “pattern mapping” from brain MRI scans to see whether MRI images reflect a brain tumor’s genetic type. It may help doctors better match MRI findings to tumor characteristics using scans they may already need for diagnosis.
LeidenAges 18 years+ - NCT04182087Recruiting
Testing thinking skills after a localized brain injury
This trial studies how your thinking and memory abilities work after a single, localized brain injury seen on MRI. It involves cognitive (thinking) tasks to assess changes and may help researchers understand brain function after injury.
GrenobleAges 18–70 - NCT06479174Recruiting
Cognitive strategies after stroke with family support
This study tests if combining cognitive exercises with a safe, mild brain stimulation can help improve memory and thinking after a stroke. It also looks at how shared family health history might affect recovery.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT06819657Recruiting
Remote ischemic conditioning after aneurysm surgery
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your leg) to see if it helps brain recovery after aneurysm surgery. It might reduce secondary damage and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07044596Recruiting
Non-invasive brain stimulation to slow cognitive decline
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation can help slow memory loss or thinking problems. It is looking for healthy volunteers and people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury within the past year.
Madison, WisconsinAges 20–85 - NCT07764679RecruitingPhase 3
Brain scan to detect Alzheimer's plaques
This study tests a new PET brain scan that uses a special dye to show amyloid plaques, which are linked to Alzheimer's disease. It may help doctors see if your memory problems are caused by Alzheimer's or something else.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40 years+ - NCT06303869Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for speech after stroke
This study tests if deep brain stimulation (a small device implanted in the brain) can improve speech and arm movement after a stroke that affected the deeper parts of the brain. It is designed for people who have trouble speaking clearly (dysarthria) from their stroke.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT07588503RecruitingPhase 1
FES Cycling With Blood Flow Restriction for Spinal Cord Injury
This study tests a new exercise method combining electrical stimulation (FES) and controlled blood flow restriction while you cycle. It's designed to improve heart health, blood sugar control, and fitness in people with spinal cord injuries.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–75

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain vascular function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 25 recruiting brain vascular function 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 vascular function 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 vascular function 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.
