Pregnancy, Baby Brain Scans, and Child Development Study
This study looks at how a mother's health and experiences during pregnancy may affect her baby's brain growth and early development. You and your baby would have special MRI brain scans, fill out some questionnaires, and then your child's development would be followed until they are 6 years old.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT07053033RecruitingPhase 2
Laser surgery or surgery plus second radiation for recurrent brain tumors
This trial is testing whether a second, precise dose of radiation to the brain, after a tumor has been removed or treated with a laser, can help people with recurrent brain metastases. It's for patients whose brain tumors have come back after prior radiation therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07049003RecruitingPhase 1
Deep brain stimulation for severe tremor
This trial tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with severe tremor from essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, or cerebellar conditions who haven't improved with standard treatments. It targets a different brain area to see if it can reduce shaking and improve daily activities.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT07044557Recruiting
Avoiding dexamethasone in brain metastasis surgery
This trial tests whether skipping the steroid dexamethasone around brain tumor surgery is safe and effective for patients with brain metastases. If you have a new brain tumor and a mass elsewhere in your body, you may be able to join.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT07048002Recruiting
Silent brain infarct and cognitive decline after heart surgery
This trial tests a bundle of interventions to prevent silent brain infarctions (small 'silent' strokes) and thinking problems after heart or blood vessel surgery with a heart-lung machine. If you are 60 or older and having such surgery, this study may help protect your brain health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 60 years+ - NCT06992973Recruiting
Radiation before surgery for large brain metastases
This trial tests a new approach for people with a single large brain tumor that has spread from another cancer. You would receive a short, focused dose of radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) in small, separate treatments, followed by surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the usual treatment.
RomeAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07031544Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for severe OCD
This study tests whether implanting a small device deep in the brain—like a pacemaker for OCD—can help people whose severe OCD hasn't gotten better with standard medications and therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05564949Recruiting
Ketogenic diet for brain tumors after standard treatment
This trial studies whether a very low-carbohydrate diet (a ketogenic diet) can help people with certain brain tumors. It’s meant as an added treatment alongside the usual care to see if it’s safe and potentially beneficial.
Chaïdári, AthensAges 18–80 - NCT06999161Recruiting
Tracking Antibiotic Levels in ICU Brain Injury Patients
This study monitors the amount of certain antibiotics in the blood of patients with acute brain injury in the intensive care unit. It aims to make sure the antibiotics are at the right level to fight infection, especially in patients whose kidneys are clearing drugs faster than normal.
NîmesAges 18 years+ - NCT02685969Recruiting
Brain scan study of amyloid and brain sugar use
This study uses brain imaging to measure two things in the brain—amyloid protein and how the brain uses sugar. It may help researchers better understand early brain changes in people in the ALFA project.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 45–75 - NCT07012629RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing future strokes after silent brain infarcts
This study tests whether blood thinners and/or cholesterol-lowering medications can prevent future strokes in people who have small, silent brain infarctions found on MRI. If you've never had a stroke or TIA before, and are not already on similar medications, you may be a candidate.
AalborgAges 50 years+ - NCT06999122Recruiting
Testing a new helmet-style brain scanner for stroke bleeding
This trial tests a new type of brain scanner (similar to a helmet) that looks for bleeding in the brain without radiation. It is for people who have had stroke-like symptoms in the last 24 hours and have not yet received treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT07003139RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BNCT for High-Grade Malignant Brain Tumors
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy called boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for people with high-grade malignant brain tumors. It aims to see if BNCT is safe and effective for tumors that have not been treated or have come back after standard treatments.
HsinchuAges 18 years+ - NCT06992596Recruiting
