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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 50–89 - NCT06564675Recruiting
Using EEG brain waves to predict recovery after cardiac arrest
This trial uses a special EEG device (Brainstatus) to measure brain activity in people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest. The goal is to see if certain brain waves can predict a good recovery.
HelsinkiAges 18–110 - NCT06570681Recruiting
Video call assessment for acute stroke
This trial tests whether a video call with a doctor can help assess stroke symptoms quickly in the ambulance or emergency setting. It aims to see if this approach speeds up care and improves outcomes for people with possible stroke.
Aabenraa, Region SyddanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06582576Recruiting
How gastric electrical stimulation helps gastroparesis
This study looks at how a gastric electrical stimulator works to treat gastroparesis. It compares people who feel their symptoms improve a lot or not much, to understand the device's effects.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06588543Recruiting
Planning brain blood vessel procedures using patient scans
This trial uses your medical images (like MRI or angiography) to create a personalized map of your brain's blood vessels. The goal is to help doctors better plan minimally invasive treatments for aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations.
GhentAges Any age - NCT06588920Recruiting
Brain activity, thinking, and walking study for Parkinson's
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking and walking in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help understand the connections between these functions.
TaipeiAges 40–80 - NCT06589362Recruiting
Nerve stimulation plus cognitive training for brain injury recovery
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive nerve stimulation (on the neck) combined with computerized thinking exercises can help people recovering from a traumatic brain injury improve memory and attention. It is for adults currently in inpatient rehab who can use a keyboard and are medically stable.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–65 - NCT06595511Recruiting
Combined sound, light, and games for Alzheimer's
This study tests a new approach combining special audio-visual stimulation (at 40 Hz) with cognitive games to see if it can help people with Alzheimer's disease. It also includes a group of healthy older adults for comparison.
Istanbul, BeykozAges 60–86 - NCT06596746Recruiting
Tracking markers for neurodegenerative diseases
This study tracks changes in people with Parkinson's disease, other movement disorders, or cognitive decline to find better ways to measure disease progression.
Cassino, FrosinoneAges 10 years+ - NCT06598046RecruitingPhase 2
Utidelone and Capecitabine for triple-negative breast cancer brain metastases
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (Utidelone and Capecitabine) for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink or control the brain tumors.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06599099Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for depression that hasn't responded to other treatments
This trial tests if deep brain stimulation (a surgical implant that sends gentle electrical pulses to a specific area of the brain) can help people with bipolar I disorder who are currently in a severe depressive episode and have not found relief from multiple treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22–64 - NCT06599879Recruiting
Brain radiation effects on memory and attention in kids
This study looks at how radiation from brain tumor treatment affects memory, attention, and thinking skills in children. It uses brain scans and tests to understand these effects.
AngersAges 6–14 - NCT06600269Recruiting
Cycling training for ataxia recovery in SCA
This study tests whether cycling-based coordination training can help people with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) improve balance and movement by priming the brain for recovery.
TaoyuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07521930Recruiting
Brain implant to restore communication and movement control
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06603064Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,059 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.
