Recruiting studies
- NCT06818864RecruitingPhase 1
Deep brain stimulation for memory after brain injury
This trial tests if deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve memory and thinking for people who have had a traumatic brain injury. DBS uses a small device placed in the brain to send gentle electrical pulses.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–70 - NCT07398157Recruiting

This trial tests a new deep brain stimulation system that adapts in real time to improve symptom control over 24 hours, especially for people with daytime fluctuations or sleep problems despite standard DBS.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07357298RecruitingPhase 3
Brain MRI surveillance for stage IV breast cancer
This trial tests whether regular brain MRI scans can help detect brain metastases early in patients with stage IV breast cancer who do not yet have any known brain metastases. The goal is to see if early detection improves outcomes.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07355348Recruiting
Cognitive support program for brain metastases
This study is testing a program to provide step-by-step cognitive support for adults whose cancer has spread to the brain. It aims to help people think more clearly and manage any memory or attention problems.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07339085Recruiting
Advanced MRI for brain tumor recurrence or radiation damage
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better tell the difference between a returning brain tumor and radiation injury. It may help guide your treatment decisions.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07327710Enrolling by invitation
Brain-Computer Interface and Electrical Stimulation for Facial Paralysis
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment that combines a brain-computer interface with mild electrical stimulation to help people with one-sided facial paralysis regain movement. It aims to improve facial muscle function by retraining the brain and muscles together.
Changzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06873477Recruiting
Brain injury study for children and young adults
This study looks at children and young adults who have brain damage from a severe head injury or lack of oxygen at birth. It aims to learn more about these conditions and how to help patients.
Rome, LazioAges Up to 20 years - NCT07292766Recruiting
Metabolic Profiles After Severe Head Injury
This study looks at chemical changes in the body after a severe head injury. It aims to find markers that may help guide treatment.
Aksaray, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07274397Recruiting
Early brain scan study after glioblastoma surgery
This study tests whether it is safe and possible to do a special brain scan (nuclear imaging) within the first 3 days after surgery for glioblastoma. It may help doctors understand how well the tumor was removed and guide future treatments.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT05307640Recruiting
Support for caregivers after moderate to severe brain injury
This study tests a caregiver-focused program to improve well-being for people caring for someone who recently had a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. It may help caregivers feel better and cope more effectively during the early recovery period.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06337864Recruiting
Large neutral amino acids for adults with classical PKU
This study tests whether a specific mix of large neutral amino acids (LNAAs) can help adults with classical PKU by lowering phenylalanine levels in the brain. It includes an MRI and PET scan to see how the treatment affects brain activity.
CopenhagenAges 18–50 - NCT05909839Recruiting
7-Tesla brain MRI network study for deep brain stimulation tremor
This study looks at detailed brain imaging using a very strong MRI (7-Tesla) to understand brain network changes after deep brain stimulation for essential tremor. It may help improve how DBS works and how tremor can be better treated in the future.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07209683Recruiting
Near-infrared light therapy for brain function in adults
This study tests whether shining a special near-infrared light on the head can improve how well your brain works and how clearly you think. It is for healthy younger and older adults who want to help find new ways to support brain health.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 21–85 - NCT06303960RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain stimulation for chronic stroke arm recovery
This early-phase trial tests whether brain stimulation (deep brain stimulation in the cerebellum or vagus nerve stimulation) can help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke 1 to 3 years ago.
Jinan, ShandongAges 30–75 - NCT06932692Recruiting
Brain network analysis using 7-Tesla MRI in DBS patients
This study uses advanced brain imaging (7-Tesla MRI and MEG) to understand how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain networks in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It helps doctors learn how DBS works so they can improve treatment in the future.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07198256Recruiting
AI-assisted diagnosis of brain tumors
This trial tests an AI tool that helps diagnose brain tumors like glioma, brain metastases, and lymphoma using MRI scans. It may allow faster and more accurate diagnosis without needing additional tests.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–100 - NCT07187739Recruiting
Mediterranean diet for Parkinson's with deep brain stimulation
This study tests whether a Mediterranean diet can improve nutrition in people with Parkinson's disease who have had deep brain stimulation surgery. It may help you maintain better nutrition and overall health.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 45–64 - NCT07175077Recruiting
7T MRI scan to find tiny brain metastases in small-cell lung cancer
This trial uses a powerful 7T MRI scanner to detect very small brain metastases in people with small-cell lung cancer who choose not to get preventive brain radiation. The goal is to see if this advanced scan can find hidden spots in the brain that regular MRIs miss.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07177781Recruiting
Blueberries and brain function in older adults
This study tests whether eating wild blueberries every day for several weeks can improve brain function in people ages 60 to 75 who are overweight or obese. You'll eat blueberry powder or a placebo and have memory and thinking tests before and after.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 60–75 - NCT07166991RecruitingPhase 3
Anesthesia study for organ donation after brain death
This trial compares different anesthesia strategies used during organ donation surgery after brain death to see which one helps preserve organs better for transplant. It is for brain-dead adult patients in the ICU whose families agree to organ donation and research participation.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT07162246RecruitingPhase 2
Radiosurgery for large brain tumors and metastases
This trial tests a special high-dose radiation treatment for people who have up to two large brain tumors (metastases) and possibly other smaller ones. The treatment aims to control the tumors while limiting radiation to healthy brain tissue.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05397873Recruiting
Biofeedback training to improve vision in hemianopia
This trial tests whether guided “biofeedback” training can help people with hemianopia (a vision field loss) improve how they use their remaining vision. You may be asked to complete vision testing and practice exercises while receiving feedback based on your responses.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–90 - NCT07121582Recruiting
Brain rhythm training for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a way to retrain your brain's rhythms after a stroke to help you move your arm and hand better. It uses a non-invasive head coil (TMS) to stimulate the brain while you squeeze a grip device.

T-DXd with brain radiation for HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of a targeted drug (T-DXd) with brain radiation for women with breast cancer that has spread to the brain and is HER2-positive or HER2-low. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works better than radiation alone.

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.
