Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–80 - NCT05995951Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for severe OCD
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (a surgical implant that sends electrical pulses to part of your brain) can help people with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that has not improved with standard treatments.
Petah TikvaAges 18–75 - NCT06292585Recruiting
Blocking the artery to treat epidural hematoma
This trial tests a new way to treat a blood clot outside the brain (epidural hematoma) after a head injury. Instead of surgery, doctors use a thin tube to block the artery feeding the clot, which may help the body absorb the clot more safely.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07223645Recruiting
Handgrip exercise and brain blood flow in young adults
This study tests whether a simple handgrip exercise program can improve blood flow regulation to the brain in young adults who are not very active. Participants will do handgrip exercises at home using a mobile app to track their progress.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–35 - NCT07226908Enrolling by invitation
Brain electrode study for epilepsy and memory
This study places electrodes in the brain to learn how seizures spread and how memory works. It may help people with temporal lobe epilepsy understand their condition better and improve future treatments.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07222306Enrolling by invitation
Cannabis, brain inflammation, and suicidal thoughts brain imaging study
This study uses brain scans to see how cannabis affects inflammation and suicidal thoughts. You may join if you're already in a related study and can safely undergo MRI and PET scans.

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.
