Recruiting studies
- NCT05549024RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/CT scan study for certain prostate, brain, or breast cancers
This early-phase study tests special PET/CT scans using a radioactive tracer to see cancer areas that have specific targets. It may help doctors better visualize tumors and plan next steps, using scans that you may already be familiar with (FDG) plus targeted tracers.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07809542Recruiting
Brain scans in people with muscle pain
This study looks at how the brain processes pain in people with muscle pain. Researchers will use special brain scans (MEG and MRI) to see if there are any differences in brain activity. This may help improve future treatments for chronic pain.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–70 - NCT07813559Recruiting
Using a special PET/CT scan to find blood clots
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to see blood clots in the body. The scan uses a tracer that sticks to a protein on blood clots, which might help doctors find clots that other scans miss.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–90 - NCT06001073Recruiting
Heart and brain disease health prediction study
This study uses advanced health data to predict how heart and brain conditions may progress. It aims to help doctors provide better care for people with these diseases.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 3–80 - NCT05504772Recruiting
Personalized genetic testing for children with cancer
This trial studies how personalized (tailored) genetic testing can help guide care for children with cancer. It may help match treatment choices to each child’s genetic risk, and it includes optional return of germline (inherited) test results.

TaipeiAges 7 years+ - NCT07805057Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation for small fiber neuropathy
This trial tests whether magnetic brain stimulation can reduce pain in people with small fiber neuropathy, a nerve condition that causes burning or shooting pain. If you have this condition, this treatment might offer a new way to ease your pain without major side effects.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07799402Recruiting
How gut and brain health change with age
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut are linked to brain health as you age. It includes people with normal memory, mild memory problems, or Alzheimer's disease, and aims to find ways to keep brains healthy as we get older.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07798180Recruiting
Ear stimulation for belly pain in teens
This study tests a small earpiece that sends gentle signals to help reduce belly pain in teens with disorders of the gut-brain interaction. It may offer a drug-free way to manage pain.
Columbus, OhioAges 12–18 - NCT07794956RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Memory study for older adults with a care partner
This study tests a dietary product, called LpD3.5, to see if it can help older adults with mild memory problems. You and a care partner would take part together.
Tampa, FloridaAges 60 years+ - NCT07796061RecruitingPhase 1
Ultrasound plus immune cells for brain tumors
This trial tests a new way to treat a type of brain tumor called diffuse midline glioma. It uses focused ultrasound to open a tiny gap in the blood-brain barrier, which may help special immune cells (T-cells) reach and attack the tumor. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helpful.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 3–25 - NCT07791966Recruiting
Brain stimulation for chronic pain
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help people with chronic pain, specifically Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), manage pain-related avoidance behaviors. It may help reduce pain and improve daily function.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05566496Recruiting
MRI study of different tic disorder types
This study uses MRI (a type of body scan) to look at differences between types of tic disorders in children. It may help doctors better understand what’s happening in conditions like Tourette syndrome and chronic tic disorders.
TaipeiAges birth–18 years - NCT07784088Recruiting
Wireless brain implant for tetraplegia
This trial tests a new implantable brain-computer interface designed to help people with tetraplegia (paralysis of arms and legs) control devices using their thoughts. It may help improve independence and quality of life.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT05566392Recruiting
Studying long-term recovery in children after COVID-19
This study looks at how long “long COVID” affects children over time. It may help doctors better understand what symptoms last and what support could improve recovery.
TaipeiAges 6–18 - NCT07777419Recruiting
Thinking and mood after brain stimulation for Parkinson's
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to help control movement) affects thinking and mood in people with Parkinson's disease. It is a joint study by a Swiss university hospital that uses records from usual care and tests over time.
BernAges 18–75 - NCT07777081Recruiting
How your brain and body recover after a wrist fracture
This study looks at how your brain and body heal after a wrist fracture. By joining, you'll help doctors understand recovery better, which could improve care for future patients.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07776379Recruiting
Predicting recovery with BDNF blood levels in chronic low back pain
This study looks at whether a protein in your blood, called BDNF, can help predict how well you might do with chronic low back pain. By participating, you may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
Daegu, DaeguAges 20–80 - NCT03910010Recruiting
Brain scan study to study pain-related body signals in fibromyalgia
This study uses MRI brain scans to look for body “signals” (biomarkers) that may relate to chronic pain, including fibromyalgia. It may help researchers better understand what’s going on in the brain for people with long-term pain.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18–75 - NCT07768761Recruiting
Electrical stimulation exercise for lower limb paralysis
This trial tests whether a muscle exercise program using electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis in their legs. It may improve muscle strength, blood flow, or other health benefits.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07769957Recruiting
Brain scans for babies with slow growth in the womb
This study uses a special type of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to look at the brain development of babies who are growing slowly in the womb. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better understand this condition and how to care for these babies.
IstanbulAges 18–45 - NCT06564675Recruiting
Using EEG brain waves to predict recovery after cardiac arrest
This trial uses a special EEG device (Brainstatus) to measure brain activity in people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest. The goal is to see if certain brain waves can predict a good recovery.
HelsinkiAges 18–110 - NCT07762365Recruiting
Brain stimulation with reading help for children with dyslexia
This study tests whether pairing a gentle brain stimulation technique with structured reading instruction can improve reading skills in children with dyslexia. It aims to find a new way to support reading development.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,017 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.
