Study of Brain Cleaning System in Organ Donors
This study looks at the brain's natural cleaning system in people who have just passed away and are registered as organ donors. It aims to understand how this system works, which could one day help with brain diseases.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges Any age - NCT07680439RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T cell therapy study for children with DIPG brain tumor
This trial tests a new CAR T cell therapy (BCB-276) for children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called DIPG. The therapy uses your own immune cells that are specially trained to attack the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–26 - NCT04846140Recruiting
Non-invasive brain stimulation to help side vision in glaucoma
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can improve peripheral (side) vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It targets people whose central vision is still relatively preserved but whose side vision has a measurable “gap” on vision testing.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT05929729RecruitingPhase 4
Brain study in women with iron deficiency anemia
This is a study that looks at how iron deficiency anemia may affect the brain, and it also checks whether giving iron through an IV is safe and helpful for some participants. You may be in an observation-only group or an iron-treatment group, depending on study testing.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 16–60 - NCT07675070Recruiting
Temozolomide (Amitzo) for grade III or IV brain tumors
This trial studies a new form of the chemotherapy drug temozolomide (called Amitzo) in people with aggressive brain tumors (grade III or IV gliomas). It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective, and is for patients who need treatment for a new diagnosis or for tumors that have come back after standard care.
TehranAges 18–80 - NCT07671950Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for neuropathic dental pain
This trial studies whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with a type of nerve-related tooth pain called atypical odontalgia. It is for those who have not found relief from standard treatments like medications or injections.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19–80 - NCT07679581Recruiting
Cannabis, brain waves, and attention study
This study looks at how cannabis use affects brain activity and attention. It compares heavy users and non-users to understand the effects on memory and focus.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 21–40 - NCT07675499RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Exercise and Nasal Insulin for Type 2 Diabetes

New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 55–80 - NCT06473714Recruiting
Brain stimulation for language in progressive aphasia
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation called tDCS to see if it can help improve language control in people with primary progressive aphasia. It is done in a hospital in Nice, France.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT07671261Recruiting
Brain surgery for schizophrenia guided by electrode mapping
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) guided by SEEG (a way to map brain activity with electrodes) can help treat schizophrenia. It is for people with moderate to severe symptoms who have not improved after trying at least two different antipsychotic medications.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT07665216Recruiting
Chatbot for anhedonia and depression
This study tests whether a chatbot-based intervention can improve brain function and reduce symptoms in people who feel very little pleasure or interest (anhedonia) and have depression. You would have MRI scans to see how your brain responds.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–40 - NCT07667478Recruiting

Houston, TexasAges 55–90 - NCT07668167Recruiting
Combined brain stimulation study in healthy adults
This study tests a special type of electrical stimulation (eTNS) combined with flashing lights and sounds at 40 Hz to see how it affects brain activity. It may help researchers understand how to improve brain network function.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06675851RecruitingPhase 4

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.
