Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07354139Recruiting
Can brain stimulation help adults who stutter speak more fluently?
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce speech errors in adults who have stuttered since childhood. If you are 22 or older, speak English as your main language, and have developmental stuttering, you may be able to join.
Richardson, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT07356284RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke treatment study for blocked arteries with narrowing
This study tests a rescue treatment for people having a major stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain that also has severe narrowing. If doctors can't fully open the artery with standard clot removal, this study looks at whether additional treatments can help.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07358572Recruiting
Eye-brain-kidney study in chronic kidney disease
This study is looking at how chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects the eyes, brain, and kidneys. It uses MRI scans to examine these organs, and aims to find connections that could help improve care for people with CKD.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07358754Recruiting
S100B and BDNF levels in fibromyalgia
This trial measures two brain-related proteins (S100B and BDNF) in women with fibromyalgia compared to healthy women. It aims to find out if these proteins are linked to fibromyalgia symptoms, which could lead to better understanding or new treatments.
IstanbulAges 18–50 - NCT07365696Recruiting
Fatigue and brain fog after stem cell transplant
This trial looks at the causes of fatigue and cognitive problems (like memory or concentration issues) after a stem cell transplant. It uses old PET scans to study possible damage in the brain.
StockholmAges 20–75 - NCT07369752Recruiting
Breathing exercises for teens with depression or anxiety
This study looks at whether breathing exercises can help improve brain health and mental well-being in teens with depression or anxiety. It is designed for adolescents who are already receiving care at a Mayo Clinic psychiatry clinic.
Albert Lea, MinnesotaAges 12–17 - NCT07374692Recruiting
Study of treatments for advanced brain and spinal cord tumors
This study looks at how different treatments work for people with advanced brain or spinal cord tumors that have come back. It helps doctors learn more about these tumors and how to better treat them.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 15–120 - NCT07380204Recruiting
Measuring Hsp90 in the brain with a PET scan
This study uses a special PET scan to measure a protein called Hsp90 in the brain. It aims to understand how Hsp90 levels differ in healthy people and those with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or ALS, which may lead to new treatments.
Leuven, Vlaam-BrabantAges 18–70 - NCT07380412Recruiting
Supplement study for ADHD med side effects
This trial tests if a dietary supplement can help reduce common side effects of stimulant medications for ADHD, like trouble sleeping or feeling irritable. If you take a stable dose of ADHD medication and are dealing with these issues, you may be able to join.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18–55 - NCT07380477Recruiting
Infection risk study for external ventricular drains
This trial looks at whether the fluid from your brain drain (called CSF) can help predict infections. It compares samples taken from different spots on the drain to find better ways to catch infections early.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07391215RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Paxalisib for newly diagnosed glioblastoma after standard treatment
This trial tests a drug called paxalisib in people with a newly diagnosed aggressive brain tumor (glioblastoma) who have just finished standard radiation and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding paxalisib can help prevent the tumor from coming back by targeting a specific pathway in the cancer cells.
SuttonAges 16 years+ - NCT07396103Recruiting
New approach to reduce breathing pauses in preemies
This study tests a new way to reduce the number of times a preemie baby stops breathing (apnea). It's for babies born early who have apnea but are not on a breathing machine.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT07396896Recruiting
A study on brain tumors and weight gain after treatment
This trial tests a diet therapy for young people who have gained a lot of weight after treatment for a certain type of brain tumor. The goal is to see if the diet can help manage obesity related to the tumor or its treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,064 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.
