Ultrasound to set breathing support in brain injury patients with lung issues
This trial tests if chest and head ultrasound can help doctors adjust the breathing machine (PEEP) for patients with both a severe brain injury and a serious lung condition called ARDS. The goal is to improve care without harming the brain.
ThessalonikiAges 18 years+ - NCT07250789Recruiting
Brain Care Study: Screen and help for thinking decline in type 2 diabetes
This study screens older adults with type 2 diabetes for early signs of memory or thinking problems, and offers a program to help keep the brain healthy. It aims to find out if a combination of lifestyle changes, mental exercises, and medical support can slow cognitive decline.
CopenhagenAges 65 years+ - NCT05359653RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Clemastine to study MRI changes in relapsing MS
This early-phase study tests whether clemastine (a drug being studied for “myelin repair”) changes how MS looks on special MRI scans. It may help researchers understand if the treatment supports restoring nerve covering in people with relapsing-remitting MS.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT07095920Recruiting
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a brain stimulation device (Brain Q) to help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke 6 months to 5 years ago. The goal is to see if it can boost recovery beyond standard therapy.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07682155Recruiting
Study of Brain Cleaning System in Organ Donors
This study looks at the brain's natural cleaning system in people who have just passed away and are registered as organ donors. It aims to understand how this system works, which could one day help with brain diseases.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges Any age - NCT07680959Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for negative symptoms of schizophrenia
This trial tests combining two types of non-invasive brain stimulation (HD-tDCS and iTBS) to help with negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as lack of motivation or social withdrawal. The goal is to see if this combination can improve these symptoms that are often hard to treat with medication alone.
TaipeiAges 18–65 - NCT07253974Recruiting
Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Recovery Study
This study follows people who had a stroke linked to atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and are in a rehabilitation program. Researchers want to see how recovery goes and what helps patients improve.
BarcelonaAges 18–99 - NCT07259291Recruiting
Comparing two remifentanil dosing methods during anesthesia
This trial compares two ways of giving the pain medicine remifentanil during anesthesia. It looks at how well the computer models predict the right dose for each patient.
TrevisoAges 18–80 - NCT07269353Recruiting
Brain-computer interface study for teens with cerebral palsy
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) can help teenagers with cerebral palsy improve wrist movement in their affected arm. It may offer a new way to strengthen arm function without surgery or needles.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 12–17 - NCT07274527Recruiting
Amnioinfusion for babies exposed to thick meconium during labor
This trial tests whether adding fluid into the womb (amnioinfusion) during labor can protect a baby's lungs and health after being exposed to thick meconium (baby's first poop). It may help reduce breathing problems and improve long-term outcomes.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07278206Recruiting
Brain stimulation for long COVID fatigue and brain fog
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain treatment called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help with the severe fatigue and brain fog that often come with long COVID. You would need to be able to come to the hospital for multiple treatment sessions.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07279740RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation plus medication for apathy in dementia
This study tests if combining a type of brain stimulation (repetitive TMS) with a medication (methylphenidate, commonly used for ADHD) can improve apathy in people with dementia. If you have Alzheimer's or mixed dementia and struggle with low motivation, this trial may help you.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT07280923Recruiting
Wheelchair use and neurologic disorder study
This study aims to see if a new survey, the PReFS, is accurate and reliable for people who use wheelchairs because of a neurologic condition. If you qualify, you may help improve how doctors measure your health.
Waco, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07281300Recruiting
Mindfulness for breathing distress in lung cancer
This trial tests a mindfulness-based program to help lung cancer patients manage breathing difficulty and other symptoms. It aims to reduce distress and improve daily life.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07282470Recruiting
Epigenetics and liquid biopsy for meningioma patients
This study looks at genetic changes in meningioma tumors and body fluids to find ways to personalize treatment. It may help doctors better predict how the tumor will behave and choose the best therapy.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07282691Recruiting
Validating eye tests for mild brain injury
This study looks at eye tests for people who had a mild brain injury (mTBI) in the last 1 to 6 months. It aims to better understand and measure eye movement problems that can happen after such an injury.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,063 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.
