Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03160131Recruiting
Rehab program to improve vision after brain injury
This study looks at rehabilitation to improve vision after a brain injury. It may help people with significant vision problems regain everyday visual function.
Copenhagen, HellerupAges 14 years+ - NCT07560904Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Improve Memory in Cognitive Decline
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help improve working memory (the ability to hold and use information briefly) in people with mild cognitive impairment related to Parkinson's disease or Lewy body disease. The stimulation targets deep brain structures without surgery.
BrnoAges 60–80 - NCT07560631Recruiting
Facial Tracking to Monitor Brain Injury Recovery
This study uses camera technology to track subtle facial movements as a way to detect awareness and recovery in people with severe brain injuries. It may help doctors better understand and monitor patients who have suffered traumatic brain injury.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 22–85 - NCT07552233Recruiting
NK Cell Therapy for Recurrent Brain Tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (NK cells) for patients with malignant brain tumors that have come back or worsened despite previous treatment. The goal is to see if these specially prepared immune cells can help fight the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06742450Recruiting
Comparing two ways to stimulate the brain for Parkinson's
This trial compares two methods of deep brain stimulation (constant current vs constant voltage) for people with Parkinson's who already have the device placed but haven't turned it on yet. The goal is to see which method works better.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06017973Recruiting
Imaging tests for possible non-convulsive status epilepticus
This trial uses advanced imaging scans (PET-MRI) to help doctors better understand and manage a type of seizure that doesn't cause convulsions. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for people with this condition.
LeuvenAges 16 years+ - NCT07523113Recruiting
Brain Fog Treatment for ME/CFS Using Cognitive Training
This study tests whether a computerized cognitive training program combined with a mild electrical nerve stimulation device (worn on the ear) can help improve thinking and memory problems in people with ME/CFS. The goal is to see if this approach helps with brain fog and daily functioning.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07490418Recruiting
Brain injury screening for mild head trauma or neurological symptoms
This trial tests a device (TES HT100) to screen for brain injuries in people with mild head trauma or certain neurological symptoms. It aims to quickly identify who might need imaging or follow-up care.
Castel Volturno, CEAges 18 years+ - NCT07485361Recruiting
Brain scanning in disorders of consciousness
This trial uses a portable brain scanner (fNIRS) to study brain activity in people with disorders of consciousness, like coma or minimally conscious states. It may help doctors better understand and track recovery in these patients. Healthy volunteers are also needed as a comparison group.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07483528Enrolling by invitation
Ways to help people with chronic brain injury manage health
This study compares different ways to help people with long-term traumatic brain injury (TBI) manage their health care. If you have had a TBI for at least a year and see a brain injury doctor, you may be able to join—especially if you also have other health conditions or use multiple medications.

Bevacizumab with focused radiation vs standard brain radiation for lung cancer with brain spread
This trial tests combining a drug called bevacizumab with a focused radiation treatment for people with lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It compares this to the standard radiation approach, and aims to see which better preserves memory and controls tumors.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07455136Recruiting
Blood test for traumatic brain injury diagnosis and monitoring
This study is testing a new blood-based test to help doctors diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI) and track recovery or complications. If you have had a head injury and a CT scan as part of your care, you may be able to join.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07426848Recruiting

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.
