Sleep and brain training before heart surgery to prevent delirium
This study tests whether a combination of sleep therapy, brain games, and light exercise before heart surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after the operation. Participants will be asked to use a tablet and fitness tracker daily for about an hour before their surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 60 years+ - NCT06723743Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for attention and memory
This study tests if a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation device can help improve attention and memory in veterans with PTSD, depression, or mild brain injury. It uses a small device on the ear to stimulate a nerve that may influence brain function.
Houston, TexasAges 25–64 - NCT06725108Recruiting
Hemodynamic monitor for brain injury patients
This trial tests a new monitor that tracks blood flow in patients with severe traumatic brain injury or bleeding in the brain. The device may help doctors better manage care for these critically ill patients.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT06728592Recruiting
Emergency stroke unit for ischemic stroke within 6 hours
This trial tests a dedicated emergency stroke unit for people with ischemic stroke who can get treatment within 6 hours of symptoms starting. It aims to see if this special care area improves outcomes.
Hong KongAges 18–100 - NCT06731452Recruiting
Brain health study with MRI and TMS
This study looks at brain activity patterns in healthy adults. You'll have an MRI and a non-invasive brain stimulation session (TMS) to help researchers understand how the brain works. If you're already in The BrainHealth Project, this is a chance to learn more about your own brain health.
Dallas, TexasAges 22–100 - NCT06733025Recruiting
Comparing surgery and Botox for arm spasticity
This trial compares two treatments—Botox injections or surgery—for arm and hand spasticity after a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. It may help you decide which option works best for you.
MölndalAges 18 years+ - NCT06734546Recruiting
Exercise and brain health in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether regular exercise can improve brain health in people with type 2 diabetes. If you have type 2 diabetes, are not on insulin, are inactive, and are between 30 and 75 years old, you may be able to join.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 30–75 - NCT06735599Recruiting
Wild blueberries for blood pressure health
This study tests whether eating wild blueberries can improve your gut, brain, and heart health if you have high blood pressure. You'll eat blueberries daily for several weeks and have checkups to see how your body responds.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 45–65 - NCT06735651Recruiting
Wild blueberries for gut, brain, and heart health in prediabetes
This study looks at whether eating wild blueberries can improve your gut health, brain function, and heart health if you have prediabetes. It may help lower your blood sugar and reduce your risk for diabetes and heart disease.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 20–65 - NCT06747260RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Breast milk through the nose for HIE
This trial tests whether giving fresh breast milk through the nose is safe and possible for newborns with HIE (a brain injury from oxygen loss at birth) who are already receiving cooling therapy. It may help protect the brain and reduce injury.
BudapestAges Up to 2 days - NCT06748976Recruiting
Brain activity study during attention tasks
This study looks at how your brain controls attention by measuring brain activity while you perform tasks. It may help researchers understand attention better.
Oro Verde, Entre Ríos ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT06749197Recruiting
Home-based cognitive rehab for brain injury
This study tests a home-based computerized brain training program for people with acquired brain injury. It aims to help improve thinking skills like memory and attention through exercises you can do on your own computer or tablet.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06761365Recruiting
Testing a new device for unruptured brain aneurysms
This trial tests a new device to block blood flow into unruptured brain aneurysms (balloon-like bulges). It is for adults whose aneurysm has not bled and fits specific size requirements. The goal is to see if the device is safe and works well.
SofiaAges 18–80 - NCT06766435Recruiting
A blood test for brain injury after head trauma
This trial tests a new blood test that can help doctors quickly check if you have a brain injury after a head injury. It may help you avoid a CT scan if the blood test shows you are likely fine.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06769464Recruiting
How the brain processes smell in epilepsy surgery patients
This study tests how your brain processes smells, using special recordings during brain surgery for epilepsy. It could help us understand how the brain handles odors.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 12–65 - NCT06769672Recruiting
Walking and thinking training with brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
Hong KongAges 50 years+ - NCT06776250RecruitingPhase 2
Tarlatamab for IDH-mutant brain tumors
This trial tests whether a new drug called tarlatamab is safe and effective for people with certain types of brain tumors that have an IDH mutation. You may be eligible if you have had up to 2 prior treatments after the tumor returned, and you are either having surgery to remove the tumor or the tumor cannot be removed.

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.
