Brain training with electrical stimulation and virtual reality for Parkinson's
This study tests a new type of therapy that combines brain training (neurofeedback), mild electrical stimulation to help with movement, and virtual reality exercises. It aims to improve walking and movement for people with Parkinson's disease.
Schiedlberg, Upper AustriaAges 40–80 - NCT06691490Recruiting
Brain activity and daily physical activity study
This study looks at how your brain's perception of effort is linked to how much physical activity you do. It uses EEG (a cap that records brain waves) and fMRI (an MRI that shows brain activity) to understand this connection.
La TroncheAges Any age - NCT06697808Recruiting
Using Ultrasound to Detect Brain Issues in Children
This trial tests if a portable ultrasound can spot brain problems in children needing a head CT in the emergency room or ICU. If effective, it could offer a faster, radiation-free way to check for issues.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06698172Recruiting
Home vision training to improve movement after brain injury
This study tests whether home-based visual exercises can improve movement skills in people who have vision loss after a stroke or head injury. If you have partial blindness (on one side or top/bottom) and your brain injury is more than 6 months old, this program may help you regain motor function.
Zaragoza, ZaragozaAges 18–80 - NCT06700304Recruiting
Brain implant to help control devices with thoughts
This clinical trial tests a brain-computer interface (a small device implanted in the brain) that may help people with severe paralysis control external devices like a computer or tablet using only their thoughts. The study is for adults with paralysis from a spinal cord injury or ALS, and requires a stable caregiver.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19 years+ - NCT06703320Recruiting
Virtual reality pathfinding study for stroke recovery
This study uses a virtual reality pathfinding game to see how your brain activates after a stroke. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06704425Recruiting
How back pain affects thinking in older adults
This study looks at how chronic low back pain might affect memory, attention, and other thinking skills in adults aged 60 to 85. You will complete questionnaires, thinking tasks, and a brain scan to help researchers understand the link between pain and cognitive function.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 60–85 - NCT07683169Recruiting
Trauma molecular processes study
This trial studies biological processes after a traumatic brain injury. It looks at brain tissue samples from patients who need surgery to remove a brain bruise to learn more about healing and injury.
BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT05277519Recruiting
Rehab retraining for walking after stroke or brain injury
This study tests a rehab program aimed at improving how the brain learns movement, to help people walk more independently after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. It may help by targeting walking and movement control of the affected leg.
ParisAges 18–70 - NCT07215221Recruiting
TBI screening in substance use treatment
This study tests a new way to screen for traumatic brain injury (TBI) among people receiving substance use treatment. If you are in outpatient therapy for substance use, you may be able to join.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07445841Recruiting
Exercise to protect the brain after a first stroke
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent thinking and memory problems after a first stroke. It might help you keep your brain healthy if you join within the first six months after your stroke.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 40–80 - NCT07569887Recruiting
Brain Imaging Study of Arteriovenous Malformations Before and After Surgery
This research study uses special brain imaging scans to understand how an unruptured arteriovenous malformation (an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the brain) affects blood flow and thinking abilities before and after surgical treatment. The goal is to learn how surgery impacts brain function and cognition in patients like you.
Montpellier, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07477613Recruiting
Brain implant for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It may help if you have a single stroke that happened 6 to 18 months ago and still have trouble using your arm.
GrenobleAges 18–70 - NCT07037966Recruiting
Portable brain MRI for multiple sclerosis
This study tests a new portable brain MRI to see if it can help diagnose multiple sclerosis. It may be easier to use than regular machines.
ValenciaAges 18–65 - NCT06857851Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation study for movement in Parkinson's
This study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve how you see and move. DBS uses a device implanted in your brain to help control Parkinson's symptoms. This research aims to find better settings for that device to improve your coordination and daily function.
Cleveland, OhioAges Any age - NCT07459699Recruiting
Probiotics for kids with mild ADHD
This study tests whether a probiotic supplement can help children with mild ADHD by improving communication between the gut and the brain. It may offer a natural way to support focus and behavior.

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.
