Treating stroke beyond 24 hours with artery-opening procedure
This study tests whether opening a blocked large artery in the brain up to 5 days (or even 7 days if symptoms are worsening) after a stroke can improve outcomes. It uses a catheter-based treatment (endovascular therapy) for people who have not responded to standard care and have limited brain damage so far.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05993351Recruiting
Concussion assessment using MRI and blood tests
This study uses MRI scans and blood tests to measure brain recovery after a concussion. It will help doctors understand how concussions affect the brain and find better ways to diagnose them.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 9–50 - NCT07091500Recruiting
Exercise and a weight-loss drug for people with obesity
This trial tests whether combining a GLP-1 medication (a type of diabetes drug that also helps with weight loss) with an exercise program can improve physical function in people with obesity. If you are obese and have trouble with daily activities, this study may help you become more mobile and healthier.
St Louis, MissouriAges 50–75 - NCT07086950Recruiting
Brain training game for thinking skills in multiple sclerosis
This study tests a fun brain-training game designed to improve thinking and memory in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help with everyday mental tasks like concentrating and processing information.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT07090057Recruiting
Targeting the plantaris muscle in ankle surgery for children
This study tests if removing the plantaris muscle during surgery improves ankle movement in children with tight heel cords. It aims to see if this extra step leads to better outcomes.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 4–17 - NCT07089537Recruiting
Muscle relaxation and brain waves
This study tests how a simple muscle relaxation technique affects brain wave activity in healthy adults. It might help you understand your own relaxation response.
Kaohsiung CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07092995Enrolling by invitation
Understanding freezing of gait in Parkinson's using VR and brain signals
This study uses virtual reality and brain recordings from your DBS device to understand why some people with Parkinson's experience freezing of gait (feeling like your feet are stuck to the ground). You'll be asked to walk in a safe VR environment while researchers monitor your brain activity.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07087951Recruiting
Sound therapy for memory loss in older adults
This study tests whether listening to a special sound (gamma-frequency tones) can help slow down memory loss in older adults. It's for people who have mild memory problems but not dementia or other brain disorders.
Taoyuan, GuishanAges 60 years+ - NCT07087002RecruitingPhase 1
GPC2-CAR T cells for children and young adults with relapsed medulloblastoma
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy called GPC2-CAR T cells for children and young adults whose medulloblastoma or related brain tumor has come back or not responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if these specially designed immune cells can find and attack the tumor.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT06562127Recruiting
Water exercise and cognitive training for veterans with TBI
This trial tests if combining water-based exercise with cognitive training over eight months can help improve thinking and memory in veterans with a past mild or moderate brain injury. It may benefit veterans aged 50-89 who have ongoing cognitive complaints.

Brain-computer interface with leg supports for stroke recovery
This study tests a brain-computer interface combined with special leg supports (pneumoorthoses) to help people recover leg movement after a stroke. It may be an option if you had a stroke in the upper part of the brain and have mild to moderate leg weakness.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT07082218Recruiting
Sleep program to help teens recover from concussion
This study tests whether a sleep-focused program can help teenagers recover from a concussion. If you have ongoing symptoms after a concussion, this program might improve your sleep and speed up recovery.

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.
