NanjingAges 2–18 - NCT06852703Recruiting
Studying how pregnancy inflammation affects baby brain development
This study looks for biological markers in the mother's blood that might predict how exposure to inflammation during pregnancy could change a baby's brain development. The goal is to understand these effects in healthy pregnancies and those with certain inflammatory conditions.
Pisa, PIAges 18–40 - NCT06855186Recruiting
Rehabilitation for concussion based on your symptoms
This study tests a symptom-focused rehabilitation program for people who had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) at least 3 months ago. It aims to help with ongoing cognitive complaints like memory or concentration problems.
Wahiawa, HawaiiAges 18–64 - NCT06861868Recruiting

This study looks at how the brain and behavior contribute to obesity from infancy through childhood. It may help researchers understand why some children develop obesity and how to prevent it.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 7–12 - NCT06867198Recruiting
Peanuts for heart, brain, and gut health
This study tests whether eating peanuts can improve health markers like blood sugar, brain function, and digestion in adults with prediabetes (higher than normal blood sugar levels). You may qualify if you are between 20-59 years old, have prediabetes, and a BMI in the overweight to obese range.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 20–59 - NCT06869941Recruiting
How gut health and fat tissue are linked in the brain
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might affect your fat tissue and brain. You may be able to join if you are scheduled to have surgery to remove fat tissue and are willing to sign a consent form.
Girona, GironaAges 20 years+ - NCT06870110Recruiting
Brain training for opioid use disorder
This trial tests a brain-training program for people with opioid use disorder. It uses an EEG headset to measure brain activity while you do computer exercises, and aims to see if this training can help recovery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT06871969Recruiting
Testing a brain-wave device for stroke triage in ambulances
This trial is testing a portable EEG device (a non-invasive cap that measures brain activity) to help ambulance staff quickly determine if a patient is having a stroke. It aims to speed up diagnosis and care for people with suspected stroke symptoms.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06874231Recruiting
Brain connectivity marker for Alzheimer's disease
This study uses brain scans to find a marker for Alzheimer's disease. It is looking for people with normal memory, mild memory problems, or mild Alzheimer's, and who can undergo a spinal tap and MRI.

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.
