Recruiting studies
- NCT06453733Recruiting
Non-invasive brain pressure monitor for TBI
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor pressure inside the skull for people with traumatic brain injury. It compares the new device to the standard invasive method already being used in your care.
London, EnglandAges 16–99 - NCT06459427Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for brainstem hemorrhage
This trial tests a new, less invasive surgery using a robot to help guide the doctor to drain blood from a brainstem bleed. It may be an option for people who can have surgery soon after the bleed and who have a certain level of consciousness.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04459806Recruiting
Study dose timing to improve care for brain injury
This trial studies how to time medication or treatment doses when a person has serious brain injury, using measurements from a pressure monitor in the skull. It may help doctors manage brain swelling and pressure more effectively.
Monza, MBAges 18–80 - NCT03958240Recruiting
Study how cancers trigger the immune system
This study looks at what makes some cancers more “noticeable” to the immune system. It may help researchers design better future immunotherapy by collecting information (often including blood samples) from people with different cancers.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT05026060Recruiting
Test for brain blood flow imaging in children with artery disease
This study uses a special MRI method to measure how much blood is reaching the brain in children with certain artery problems. It may help doctors better assess these conditions during routine care and imaging.
ParisAges Up to 18 years - NCT06429332RecruitingPhase 4
Care bundle study for brain bleed on CT scan
This trial is testing a set of standard care steps (a 'care bundle') for people who have a sudden brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) that shows up on a CT scan. It aims to see if this bundle improves recovery and outcomes.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06429007Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Metformin for infants after brain injury from HIE
This trial tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medicine, can help heal brain injury in infants who had HIE (lack of oxygen at birth) and were treated with cooling. It aims to see if the drug is safe and possible to give to babies between 3 and 6 months old.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 3 months–6 months - NCT06426303RecruitingPhase 4
Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment in Veterans: Brain and Inflammation
This study is for veterans with alcohol use disorder who have been sober for 5 days to 3 weeks. It looks at how trauma, inflammation, and brain function relate to alcohol problems and how well treatment works. You will be in a group that gets medication or a placebo.
Portland, OregonAges 18–60 - NCT06429735Recruiting
Robot-implanted brain-computer interface for severe paralysis
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device that lets you control a computer with your thoughts) that is implanted by a robot. It is for people with severe paralysis who may benefit from a new way to communicate or control devices.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 22–75 - NCT06399952Recruiting
Natural history study for Baker Gordon syndrome
This study follows people with Baker Gordon syndrome over time to better understand the condition. Participants and their caregivers share medical records and complete tests and questionnaires.
Columbia, MissouriAges birth–99 years - NCT05766059Recruiting
Noninvasive brain stimulation to aid stroke or phantom limb pain rehab
This trial tests new, noninvasive brain stimulation techniques to help recovery after stroke weakness or after arm amputation with phantom limb pain. If you fit the type and timing of your condition, the study may help improve pain or hand/arm function without surgery.
Milan, LombardyAges 18–85 - NCT06192407Recruiting
Healthy fats and brain function in older adults
This study tests whether healthy fats (fatty acids) can support brain function as we age. If you are 65–75 and in good general health, you may be able to help researchers learn more about diet and the aging brain.
Burlington, VermontAges 65–75 - NCT06367920Recruiting
Study of brain MRI data in children with developmental delay
This study looks back at medical records of children and young adults (up to age 20) who had brain MRIs to understand developmental delays. It aims to gather information that could help improve care for kids with similar conditions.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges Up to 20 years - NCT04927156Recruiting
Check safety and use of Balt medical devices after treatment
This post-marketing study follows people after they receive Balt medical devices to make sure the devices are safe, work well, and are easy to use in real life. You may be considered if you can consent and your procedure matches their device-use rules.
AngersAges 2 years+ - NCT06391684Recruiting
Brain flexibility in autistic and non-autistic adults
This study looks at how the brain predicts and adapts in autistic and non-autistic people. Participants will have MRI scans and do simple tasks to help researchers understand flexibility in thinking.
GrenobleAges 18–50 - NCT06386510Recruiting
Nerve stimulation to improve arm function after stroke
This trial tests whether stimulating certain nerves in the head can help improve arm movement and brain recovery in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It may be an option if you still have some arm movement but are not currently in rehab.
Laval, QuebecAges 18–85 - NCT06387914Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for chronic stroke pain
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (using a device implanted in the brain) can help relieve severe, long-lasting pain caused by a stroke. It is for people who have tried other treatments without success.
Oxford, OxfordshireAges 21 years+ - NCT06379594Enrolling by invitation
Remote brain health clinic for mild memory problems
This study tests a remote 'brain health clinic' for people with mild memory or thinking problems (mild cognitive impairment). It aims to help diagnose the cause of memory issues from home, so you don't need to travel to a clinic.
London, Denmark HillAges 18 years+ - NCT06391294Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation study for language mapping during awake surgery
This study uses gentle electrical stimulation on the brain during awake surgery to understand how language works. It's for people having brain tumor removal or epilepsy monitoring who can speak English and do not have serious speech or thinking problems.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT06381674Recruiting
Wearable tech for balance rehab after concussion
This study tests whether a wearable device can help people with balance and vision problems after a mild concussion. You will use the device to guide your own exercises and help improve your recovery.
Portland, OregonAges 18–60 - NCT06389175Enrolling by invitation
Non-invasive ear stimulation for depression
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve in your ear to see if it can improve how your stomach and brain communicate, which may help with depression symptoms.
BonnAges 18–55 - NCT05892952Recruiting
Scottish long-term study of aging and thinking
This study follows adults aged 50 and older over time to understand how thinking and memory change. You may help researchers learn what influences healthy aging and cognitive health.
Edinburgh, LothianAges 50–120 - NCT06368648Recruiting
Study of a new forehead sensor for brain pressure monitoring
This study tests a new sensor that measures brain pressure from outside the head. It is for people who are already in the hospital getting their brain pressure and blood pressure monitored continuously.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06360900Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation study for functional dyspepsia
This trial tests a combination of a non-invasive nerve stimulation device and supportive therapy to help people with functional dyspepsia. The goal is to improve digestion and reduce stomach pain.

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.
