AlmatyAges 6–12 - NCT07167043Enrolling by invitation
AI assistant for reading brain CT and MRI scans
This study tests an AI system that helps doctors read brain CT and MRI scans. If you had a brain scan for possible tumors, stroke, injury, or other conditions, your data could be used to improve this tool.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT07091396Enrolling by invitation
Home brain stimulation to improve thinking and language
This trial tests a safe, mild electrical stimulation device (tDCS) that you can use at home. It may help improve your thinking or language after a stroke, brain tumor, or other brain condition.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07085494Enrolling by invitation
Brain training for kids after a brain tumor
This study tests if a special computer training program, which uses brain activity (neurofeedback) and thinking exercises, can help children who survived a brain tumor improve their attention and memory. If your child struggles with focus or planning after treatment, this may offer extra support.
Hong KongAges 6–18 - NCT07065916Enrolling by invitation
Arm More + Camp: Helping kids with arm weakness
This trial tests a program called 'Arm More + Camp' to help kids and teens with arm weakness due to cerebral palsy or a brain injury improve their movement. It’s a group camp-style study that fits into the school year.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 5–17 - NCT07045987Enrolling by invitation
Early warning for futile clot removal in stroke
This study looks at how to predict when a clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) might not work well for acute ischemic stroke. The goal is to build an early warning system so doctors can better decide on treatment.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07032246Enrolling by invitation
AI-assisted care for multiple sclerosis
This study uses artificial intelligence to help doctors better manage MS care. It uses MRI scans and a phone app to track your condition over time.
Prague, PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06999304Enrolling by invitation
Pilot TMS for ongoing mild concussion symptoms
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help people with ongoing symptoms after a mild concussion. If you have had concussion symptoms for at least a month but less than a year, you may be able to join.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT06999148Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing sonodynamic therapy with radiation and chemo for brainstem glioma
This trial tests whether adding sonodynamic therapy (a treatment that uses sound waves to activate a drug) before standard radiation and chemotherapy can help people with a type of brainstem glioma called DIPG. The goal is to see if this combination improves survival.
Zhengzhou, UndefinedAges Up to 75 years - NCT06984757Enrolling by invitation
Brain waves and thinking in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease, including those with and without cognitive issues, and those with deep brain stimulation. It uses EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording) and sometimes mild brain stimulation (TMS or tACS) to understand these connections better.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT06973018Enrolling by invitation
Online cognitive rehab for mild memory problems
This trial tests an online program to help people with mild to moderate cognitive problems after a brain injury or nervous system disease improve their thinking skills. It is for Swedish speakers with internet access.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06956508Enrolling by invitation
VR therapy to prevent phantom limb pain after amputation
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) daily in the hospital after a major amputation can help prevent phantom limb pain. You'll use a VR headset to do simple exercises that may keep your brain from sending pain signals to the missing limb.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 13 years+ - NCT06938542Enrolling by invitation
Palliative care needs for kids with rare diseases
This study asks children with rare diseases and their families about what kind of palliative care (comfort and support) they need. It aims to understand how to better help families through their child's illness.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–99 - NCT06912841Enrolling by invitation
Deep brain stimulation for genetic movement disorders
This trial is for people of any age with a genetic movement disorder who are getting or considering deep brain stimulation (DBS). It tries to match the best DBS settings for each person.

Spinal chemo and immunotherapy for recurrent high-grade glioma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—azacitidine and nivolumab—given directly into the spinal fluid for people whose high-grade glioma has come back after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can safely target the tumor and slow its growth.

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.
