BielefeldAges 18 years+ - NCT04856501Recruiting
Parenting support for preterm toddlers’ brain and self-control
This study tests whether a responsive parenting program helps toddlers born early think, learn, and manage behavior more easily. It also checks whether families can complete toddler brain and behavior assessments (including brain scans).
Houston, TexasAges 1.3 years–2.5 years - NCT06900101Recruiting
Monitoring study in brain injury intensive care
This study uses a special monitoring system to closely watch patients in the neurologic intensive care unit. It may help doctors better understand and treat brain injuries.
France, BronAges 18–90 - NCT06487832Recruiting
Effect of diabetes drug on brain response to insulin
This study tests whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of diabetes medicine) changes how the brain responds to insulin in people with different body sizes. It may help understand if this drug can improve brain function related to insulin.
TübingenAges 18–70 - NCT06221553RecruitingPhase 1
New CAR T-cell treatment for DIPG brain tumor
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called B7H3 IL-7Ra CAR T-cells for children with DIPG, a tough-to-treat brain tumor. The treatment is given directly into the fluid around the brain using a special catheter, and the goal is to see if it's safe and if it can help fight the tumor.
Bangkok, PathumwanAges 1–18 - NCT07253974Recruiting
Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Recovery Study
This study follows people who had a stroke linked to atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and are in a rehabilitation program. Researchers want to see how recovery goes and what helps patients improve.
BarcelonaAges 18–99 - NCT07252011Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for mood swings
This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation method to help people with mood swings. It aims to improve mood stability and brain function.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT07259291Recruiting

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.
