Recruiting studies
- NCT04524637Recruiting

LagosAges 18–65 - NCT06894238Recruiting
Can brain waves predict confusion after brain surgery?
This trial uses an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a non-invasive way to measure your brain's electrical activity, to see if it can help predict confusion or delirium after planned brain surgery. The goal is to find out if brain wave patterns can warn doctors early, which might lead to better care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - 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. It is for U.S. government employees and their families who have already tried Xeomin at a U.S. military or medical facility.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07268053RecruitingEarly Phase 1
B7-H3 drug for recurrent brain tumor or brain metastases
This trial tests a drug called GSK5764227 (a B7-H3 targeted antibody-drug conjugate) in people whose glioblastoma has come back after standard treatment, or who have brain metastases that need surgery. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink or control the tumor.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07251868Recruiting
Study of SG in breast cancer with brain metastases
This study follows patients with breast cancer that has spread to the brain and who have already received the drug Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG). The goal is to learn how well SG works in real-world settings and to see how patients are doing over time.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07256704Recruiting
Hypnosis and attention for neurological conditions
This study looks at whether hypnosis can help improve attention in people with conditions like stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. It may help if you have trouble concentrating or focusing.
LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT05233475Recruiting
Rehab program after concussion in Danish adults
This trial tests a “get going” rehabilitation program for people who recently had a concussion (mild brain injury) from a head impact. It may help reduce concussion symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning in the months after injury.
Hammel, Deb´nmarkAges 18–60 - NCT04898491Recruiting
Pain behavior scale study for adults who cannot speak
This study checks whether a “pain behavior” checklist works well and gives consistent results in adults who can’t communicate verbally and who have an artificial airway. It may help clinicians better recognize pain in people who cannot tell them directly.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06642896Recruiting
Pupil check after medicine for brain swelling in children
This study checks how children’s pupils react after they receive a medicine to lower brain pressure. It aims to see if a quick pupil test can help doctors know if the medicine is working.
Grenoble, ISEREAges 1 month–17 years - NCT06836856RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Beta blockers after traumatic brain injury: a study
This trial tests whether giving a beta blocker drug after a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury can improve recovery. It is for patients who have a brain injury but only minor or no other injuries.
ZagazigAges 18–75 - NCT06306118Recruiting
Guiding device for more precise brain biopsies
This trial tests a new positioning device that helps doctors take small tissue samples (biopsies) from brain lesions more precisely during surgery. If you have a brain lesion that needs to be removed, this study may help improve accuracy.
Graz, StyriaAges 18–80 - NCT06899516Recruiting
Brain tumors and pets: A study of needs and concerns
This study explores the relationship between people with brain tumors and their pets. It uses a questionnaire to better understand what concerns and needs you may have as a pet owner during your illness.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT07237386Recruiting
Testing a smart insole for walking in people with brain or spinal cord injury
This study tests a special insole that measures how you walk, compared with a high-tech walking lab. It's for people with stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury who can walk on their own for 6 minutes.
GhentAges Any age - NCT07239115RecruitingPhase 3
Levetiracetam to prevent seizures after brain tumor surgery
This trial tests whether the drug levetiracetam can prevent seizures in people who have brain tumor surgery. If you are having surgery to remove a brain tumor and have never had a seizure, this study may help keep you from having one after the operation.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07225101RecruitingPhase 4
Testing STRATAFIX stitches for brain and spine surgery
This trial tests a special type of stitch (called STRATAFIX) for closing wounds after brain or spine surgery. It may help the wound heal better and reduce complications.
Lansing, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07224503Recruiting
Comparing two programs for brain tumor patients
This study compares two programs that help brain tumor patients with thinking and memory issues. The goal is to see which program works better for improving daily life.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07227610RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation for larger brain tumors that have spread
This study tests a type of radiation treatment for people with one or more brain tumors that are larger than usual (2 to 5 centimeters). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective, and may be an option if you are not having immediate surgery.

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.
