Recruiting studies
- NCT07053033RecruitingPhase 2
Laser surgery or surgery plus second radiation for recurrent brain tumors

This trial tests whether giving medication right after a serious head injury can prevent early seizures. It may help people with certain types of brain injuries seen on CT scans.
Chandigarh, PunjabAges 18–70 - NCT07074938Recruiting
Traditional Chinese medicine for brain injury recovery
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine called An Gong Niuhuang Wan can help people recover brain function after a traumatic brain injury and surgery. It may be a good fit if you are moderately affected (GCS 6–12) and your condition is stable enough to start treatment within three days.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–60 - NCT07092423Recruiting
Special liquid tube feed for brain injury patients
This study tests a special liquid formula (semi-elemental nutrition) given through a feeding tube to people with severe traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this formula is easier on the stomach and causes fewer digestive problems than standard tube feeds.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT07094438RecruitingPhase 1
Brain stimulation and neck surgery for severe Alzheimer's
This early-stage trial tests combining deep brain stimulation (a device that sends electrical pulses to the brain) with a neck surgery that aims to improve brain fluid drainage. It's for people with severe Alzheimer's who can still walk and do not have other major health issues.
BeijingAges 40–80 - NCT07097792Recruiting
Concussion recovery support program for headaches
This study tests a support program for young people who have had a concussion and are still having headaches. It aims to help them recover and feel better.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–29 - NCT07100600RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted drug with or without radiation for HER2-positive breast cancer brain tumors
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to a targeted cancer drug (trastuzumab rezetecan) is better than the drug alone for women with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to the brain. If you have untreated brain tumors from this type of breast cancer, this study aims to find the best way to stop them from growing.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07103681Recruiting
Brain scan study for normal pressure hydrocephalus
This study looks at brain scans and spinal fluid in people with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) to understand how it affects thinking and walking. If you have NPH and are 60 or older, this research may help find better ways to diagnose and treat you.
LondonAges 60 years+ - NCT07110376Recruiting
Brain recordings during sleep with deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's
This study looks at brain activity during sleep in people with Parkinson's who have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. It aims to understand how different DBS settings affect sleep, which may help improve treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07111182Recruiting
Using a Dye to Guide Brain Tumor Surgery
This study tests whether a special dye called 5-ALA can help surgeons see tumor tissue more clearly during brain tumor surgery. If you are having surgery for a high-grade glioma or another brain tumor, you may be able to join and help improve surgical precision.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–99 - NCT07119827Recruiting
Personality traits and recovery after brain injury
This study looks at how your personality might affect recovery after a serious brain injury or stroke. You and a family member will answer a short personality questionnaire to see if certain traits are linked to better recovery.
Verona, VRAges 18–80 - NCT07127172Recruiting
Brain implant study for controlling devices with your mind
This study tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or tablet just by thinking. It is for people with paralysis or severe weakness in both arms due to conditions like spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke.
London, Greater LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07135791Recruiting
Tracking daily fatigue in adults with brain injury or cerebral palsy
This study uses a smartphone app to track how fatigue changes throughout the day in adults with cerebral palsy or acquired brain injury. The goal is to better understand fatigue patterns so doctors can offer better support.
Glostrup MunicipalityAges 30–65 - NCT07139990RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized radiotherapy for lung cancer or brain tumors
This trial tests whether giving tailored radiation alongside standard treatments can improve outcomes for people with extensive stage small cell lung cancer or solid tumors that have spread to the brain. It aims to personalize your treatment plan based on your specific situation.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07154199Recruiting
Ultrasound for brain fog after COVID-19
This trial tests if gentle ultrasound waves to the head can help clear brain fog that lasts after a COVID-19 infection. If you've had COVID and still feel mentally slow or forgetful, this treatment might help your thinking get sharper.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07169370Recruiting
Exercise program for chronic brain injury survivors
This trial tests a 12-week exercise platform designed for people with chronic brain injury. It aims to help you become more active safely at home.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07176494Recruiting
Revision of Deep Brain Stimulator in Parkinson's Disease
This study is for people with Parkinson's disease who need to have their deep brain stimulator (a device that sends electrical pulses to control movement) replaced or adjusted. The researchers want to learn the best way to do this procedure safely.
Ankara, Yenimahalle\AnkaraAges 40–85 - NCT07185971Recruiting
Vision training system for chronic vision loss after brain injury
This study tests a device called PAVE that may help improve vision in people who have lost part of their sight due to stroke, brain injury, or brain surgery. It is for those with ongoing vision problems, not those with eye diseases.
Cedar Rapids, IowaAges 21–80 - NCT07186556Recruiting
Exercise program for fatigue in young brain tumor survivors
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program (done through video calls) can help reduce fatigue in young adult brain tumor survivors. If you’re 18–39 and struggle with tiredness after treatment, this program may help you feel better.
Houston, TexasAges 18–39 - NCT07187843Recruiting
Parkinson's type study: brain-first vs body-first
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects thinking, movement, and brain health differently depending on whether it starts in the brain or the body first. Participants will have tests and scans to track these differences over time.
Reggio EmiliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07197632Recruiting
MRI during brain metastasis surgery
This study uses an MRI scan during surgery to help doctors remove brain metastases more completely. It may help ensure that all tumor tissue is removed.
MunichAges 18 years+ - NCT07197918Recruiting
Finding brain injury with a portable MRI after cardiac arrest
This study uses a portable MRI machine to look for brain injury in people who remain unconscious after their heartbeat is restored (ROSC) from a cardiac arrest. If you are having a standard MRI and being treated with temperature control, you may be eligible.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07214467Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,059 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.
