Study on frailty in seriously ill adults
This study looks at why some seriously ill adults become frail. It involves imaging and other tests to help doctors better understand and care for patients with serious conditions.
TampereAges Any age - NCT06623565Recruiting
Advanced imaging for extensive brain tumor removal
This trial uses advanced imaging to help surgeons remove as much of a malignant brain tumor as safely possible. It may be a good fit if you have a new diagnosis of glioblastoma or a certain astrocytoma and are healthy enough for surgery.

Predicting successful breathing tube removal in brain injury patients
This study tests if simple breathing tests can predict whether a patient with a traumatic brain injury will successfully breathe on their own after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to make the removal process safer.
Tanta, MahalaAges 18–65 - NCT07731334Recruiting
Memory problems in non-neurology rehab patients
This study looks at how common mild cognitive impairment and dementia are in people staying in rehabilitation units for heart, lung, or orthopedic problems. It aims to understand memory and thinking issues that may be overlooked in these settings.
Florence, FIAges 45 years+ - NCT07727512Recruiting
PCOS and Brain Health
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) to compare brain health in people with PCOS versus healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how PCOS may affect the brain and potentially guide future treatments.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–45 - NCT07732374RecruitingPhase 2
Long-term results after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in veterans
This study follows veterans who previously finished a 40-session hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) program. It tracks how their memory, mood, and daily function are doing 12 weeks later, to understand long-term benefits.
Boise, IdahoAges 18 years+ - NCT06600269Recruiting
Cycling training for ataxia recovery in SCA
This study tests whether cycling-based coordination training can help people with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) improve balance and movement by priming the brain for recovery.
TaoyuanAges 18 years+ - NCT05487534Recruiting
How sugar swings may affect brain and eating in type 1 diabetes
This study looks at whether changes in blood sugar (“sugar swings”) affect brain functioning and eating behaviors in adults with type 1 diabetes. You would likely track your blood sugar and complete computer-based tasks or questionnaires to help researchers understand these links.
MontrealAges 18–65 - NCT06633627Recruiting
Brain response study for tooth sensitivity
This study looks at how your brain responds to tooth sensitivity. Researchers will test a simple air puff on your teeth and measure brain activity to better understand nerve signals from sensitive teeth.
SheffieldAges 18 years+ - NCT04267978RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug combination for recurrent brain tumor growth
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding recombinant human endostatin to temozolomide and irinotecan can slow or control recurrent gliomas (brain tumors) after prior standard treatment. It may help by targeting tumor blood vessel growth while also using chemotherapy to attack cancer cells.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT04070040RecruitingPhase 2
Camrelizumab for returning brain lymphoma after prior treatment
This trial studies camrelizumab (an immune medicine) for primary CNS lymphoma that has come back after standard treatment. It aims to shrink the lymphoma seen on MRI and help control the disease with a new immune-based approach.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04501718RecruitingPhase 2
Study of apatinib plus chemotherapy for recurrent childhood medulloblastoma
This trial tests whether adding apatinib to temozolomide and etoposide helps children whose medulloblastoma has come back. It aims to slow the tumor and improve outcomes after standard treatments.
BeijingAges 2–21 - NCT04501705Recruiting
Apatinib for adults with recurring atypical or malignant meningioma
This trial tests whether apatinib can shrink or control recurring atypical/malignant meningioma that has come back after surgery and radiation. It focuses on adults with measurable regrowth on MRI and good overall health to safely take an oral medicine.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07710040RecruitingPhase 1
Proton radiation before surgery for high-grade brain tumors
This trial tests proton radiation therapy given before surgery for people with a single, high-grade brain tumor. The goal is to see if pre-surgery radiation helps with treatment outcomes.
Obninsk, Kaluga OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT07714434Recruiting
Attention and balance study for young adults
This study looks at how visual attention relates to balance. It may help understand how they interact in healthy young adults.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–35 - NCT07710417RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Float therapy for healthcare workers with PTSD
This study tests whether floating in a shallow pool of water can help reduce PTSD and stress-related symptoms in first responders and emergency medical personnel. If you're a healthcare worker struggling with work-related trauma, this floating therapy might offer relief.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 18–64 - NCT06643013Recruiting
Targeting brain blood vessels to help small vessel disease
This study tests a drug that targets a protein called TSPO to see if it can improve the function of the cells lining the small blood vessels in the brain of people with cerebral small vessel disease. It may help with mild memory or thinking problems.
LondonAges 60–90 - NCT04981184Recruiting
Testing muscle signals to predict walking recovery after stroke
This study looks at surface muscle electrical signals (from electrodes on the skin) to understand and predict how well your balance and walking may improve after a first stroke. You might benefit by learning more about your recovery and by helping researchers find better ways to track progress.
KaunasAges 18–89 - NCT06454591Recruiting
Using fast MRI to understand brain injury recovery
This study uses a quick MRI scan to check brain function and predict recovery after a traumatic brain injury. It may help researchers develop better ways to assess and treat TBI patients.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07698236Enrolling by invitation
Temporal interference brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference to see if it can improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It is for people aged 40 to 80 who are on stable Parkinson's medications and have mild to moderate symptoms.
ShanghaiAges 40–80 - NCT07703722RecruitingPhase 3
Psilocybin and therapy for depression with trauma
This trial tests psilocybin (a compound from certain mushrooms) combined with a structured therapy to see if it helps people with depression linked to trauma. It focuses on how the treatment affects the connection between the gut and brain.
Islamabad, CapitalAges 18–60 - NCT07698899RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for childhood brain and CNS cancers
This trial tests a radioactive drug (177Lu-DTPA-Omburtamab) given directly into the fluid around the brain for children and teens with certain brain cancers or cancers that have spread to the central nervous system. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for tumors that have come back or not responded to other therapies.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 3–22 - NCT07700862Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease
This trial compares two ways to place electrodes in the brain to reduce tremors. It may help people with Parkinson's disease whose main symptom is shaking.

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.
