Recruiting studies
- NCT06571032Recruiting
EEG guidance for brain stimulation after severe injury
This study tests whether using brain wave monitoring (EEG) can help guide electrical stimulation treatment for people with severe traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this approach can improve recovery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07635823Recruiting
Adaptive deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS)—a surgical treatment that uses electrical pulses to help control Parkinson's symptoms. Unlike standard DBS, this system adapts automatically to your body's needs. You may qualify if you've never had DBS surgery or if you've had it before and are willing to switch to the new device.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05040542Recruiting
Brain scans of social emotions in infants
This study uses brain testing (including MRI scanning) to better understand how young children’s brains support social emotions and communication. It may help researchers learn what brain patterns look like in typical early development.
Xiamen, FujianAges Up to 6 years - NCT07632092Recruiting
Brain Imaging Study After Radiotherapy for Cancer Spread
This study uses a special type of brain scan (PET imaging) to better understand how cancer that has spread to the brain responds to radiation treatment. The scan may help doctors see which patients are responding well to treatment.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07623785Recruiting
Beef and Brain Health in Older Adults
This study looks at whether eating lean beef and dairy products daily affects brain health markers in people 65 and older. Researchers will track blood, urine, and other samples to see if beef consumption influences how your brain functions at the molecular level.
Brookings, South DakotaAges 65 years+ - NCT07623577RecruitingPhase 2
Sac-TMT and Bevacizumab for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Brain Tumors
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (Sac-TMT and bevacizumab) to treat triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. Triple-negative means the cancer cells lack three common markers, making it harder to treat with standard therapies.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03720522Recruiting
Study brain-heart signals in acute stroke using MRI
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact right after an acute ischemic stroke. It may help doctors better understand what happens in the first hours of stroke and improve monitoring or future treatments.
Bern, Canton of BernAges 18–86 - NCT04233788Recruiting
Brain mass imaging study using MRI to learn what causes it
This study uses MRI scanning to better describe a suspected brain mass and understand what it might be. You may be asked to lie in the scanner for about one hour, if you meet the study’s safety and eligibility rules.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06702826RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab plus radiation for lung cancer brain mets
This trial tests a combination of a targeted immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab) with a precise type of radiation to treat brain tumors that have grown after initial lung cancer treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can safely shrink brain metastases and improve outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07617168Recruiting
Education Support for First-Time Brain Tumor Surgery Patients
This study tests whether education and support for patients having their first brain tumor surgery—and their caregivers—helps them cope better and recover more smoothly. You and your caregiver would receive educational materials and support throughout your treatment journey.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07613918Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow Monitoring in Critically Ill Children
This study measures how well blood flows to your child's brain while they're in the intensive care unit on a breathing machine. Understanding this flow may help doctors better care for critically ill children.
Madison, WisconsinAges 1 day–17 years - NCT07612917Recruiting
Brain Activity Changes in Glioma Patients During Treatment
This study tracks how brain activity and connections change in patients with gliomas (brain tumors) as they receive treatment. Researchers use special brain scans to understand how treatment affects the brain's function, which may help improve care for glioma patients in the future.
Linz, Upper AustriaAges 18–64 - NCT07620470Recruiting
Brain Tumor Imaging Study Using Advanced CT Scans
This study examines how a specialized CT scanner (Spectral CT) captures detailed images of brain tumors. Researchers will review your imaging scans to understand how well this technology helps doctors see and understand brain tumors.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07606300Recruiting
Light Training to Help Light Sensitivity After Head Injury
This trial tests whether a training program using colored light targets can help reduce light sensitivity (photophobia) that some people experience after a traumatic brain injury. The training involves focusing your eyes on lights during several visits.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07604701Recruiting
Online program for anger in military and veterans
This trial tests an online program called Man Therapy to help military members and veterans manage anger. You'll use the platform and see if it reduces anger symptoms.
Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05254197Recruiting
Brain tumor monitoring study with follow-up brain scans
This study follows people with lower-grade (WHO grade 2 or less) brain tumors using repeat MRI scans over time. It helps doctors understand how these tumors change and which patients may safely delay treatment at first.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT06715995Recruiting
Light stimulation's effect on brain waves in healthy older adults
This trial tests if a special light (gamma light) can change brain wave patterns in healthy adults over 55. It aims to understand how light might help keep the brain sharp.
Taoyuan, GuishanAges 55 years+ - NCT06184295Recruiting
Robotic balance training for better balance after brain injury
This study tests whether training on a robotic device can help improve balance and posture for people who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) within the last 6 months to 5 years. It may help if you have some balance issues and can stand without support for 5 minutes.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–65 - NCT05965947Recruiting
Telehealth nutrition coaching for adults after brain injury
This study tests whether regular, online (Zoom) nutrition sessions can help adults living with a brain injury make healthier food choices from home. It’s designed for people who can join sessions by internet and participate in decision-making.
Tuscaloosa, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06418594RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo for HER2-negative breast cancer brain metastasis

Deep brain stimulation for severe trigeminal nerve pain
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation can reduce intense facial pain from trigeminal neuralgia when medicines and prior procedures have not helped. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a specific MRI finding near the trigeminal nerve pathway.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT02824731Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,015 recruiting brain 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 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 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.
