Validating a digital cognitive test for head trauma patients
This study aims to validate a digital cognitive assessment tool (Neuralix) for people who have experienced moderate to severe head trauma within the past 5 years. Participation helps ensure the tool is accurate and useful for monitoring recovery.
ClamartAges 18–65 - NCT06128148RecruitingPhase 1
Study of JYP0322 for ROS1 fusion-positive solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called JYP0322 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change called a ROS1 fusion. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective against these tumors.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06821568Recruiting
Home brain stimulation for memory and walking concerns
This study tests if a gentle brain-stimulation device used at home can help older adults who have both memory worries and slower walking. A study partner will help you use the device.
Roslindale, MassachusettsAges 65–90 - NCT06819462Recruiting
Inhaled colistin to prevent ventilator pneumonia in brain injury patients
This trial tests whether giving an inhaled antibiotic called colistin can prevent pneumonia in patients with brain injuries who are on ventilators. If effective, it could reduce lung infections and improve recovery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06815432RecruitingPhase 1
GPC-3 CAR T cells for recurrent GPC-3 positive glioblastoma
This trial tests whether a special type of immune cell (called CAR T cells) can fight a brain tumor called glioblastoma that has come back. The cells are made to target a protein on the tumor cells, and the study will see if this treatment is safe and helpful.
Houston, TexasAges 21–70 - NCT06821646Enrolling by invitation
Brain responses in depression and autism with TMS and EEG
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) and brain wave recording (EEG) to understand how the brain works in people with autism, depression, or both. It may help find better ways to treat these conditions.
TaipeiAges 20–50 - NCT06819020Enrolling by invitation
Adaptive deep brain stimulation for freezing of gait in Parkinson's
This trial tests an adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) system designed to improve freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease. It is for people who still have trouble walking despite medications and are already planning to have DBS surgery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21–75 - NCT06819657Recruiting
Remote ischemic conditioning after aneurysm surgery
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your leg) to see if it helps brain recovery after aneurysm surgery. It might reduce secondary damage and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06819904Recruiting
Combined talk therapy and balance rehab for mild TBI
This trial tests a new type of therapy that combines acceptance and commitment therapy (a counseling approach) with vestibular rehabilitation (exercises for balance and dizziness). It's designed for people with mild traumatic brain injury who still have symptoms like dizziness, anxiety, or memory problems.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–49 - NCT06823193Recruiting
How self-processing impacts mental time travel
This study explores how thinking about yourself affects your ability to imagine past or future events. It may help researchers understand how the brain connects self-awareness to memory and planning.
Castel Goffredo, MantovaAges 40–80 - NCT05710549Recruiting
Brain study of autobiographical memory using brain stimulation
This study looks at how the brain supports remembering your own past experiences. It tests brain mechanisms using brain scanning (MRI) and noninvasive brain stimulation to see how these memory processes work.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18–85 - NCT06092125Recruiting
Brain disease imaging study with PET/MR scans
This trial uses advanced PET and MR scans to better understand and diagnose brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy, and brain tumors. It may help identify new ways to track these conditions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT04588311RecruitingPhase 3
Epoetin to improve outcomes in severe trauma ICU patients
This trial tests epoetin alfa (a blood-building medicine) to help reduce death and severe disability in critically ill trauma patients in the ICU. You may be considered if your ICU team expects a longer stay and the timing after injury is early.

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.
