Recruiting studies
- NCT06954610Recruiting
Heart Check for Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation
This trial uses heart imaging to better understand stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help doctors decide on the best treatment to prevent another stroke.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07056348Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve movement in Parkinson's or tremor
This study tests brain stimulation in a region called VOP/VIM to see if it can improve motor function. It is for people with movement disorders who are already getting deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT07137494RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for CNS lymphoma
This trial tests a new type of CAR T-cell therapy (MB-CART19.1) for people with central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to see if this therapy can help treat the lymphoma in the brain or spinal fluid.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07143045Recruiting
Zorifertinib for lung cancer that has spread to the brain
This trial tracks how well zorifertinib works as a first treatment for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer that has spread to the brain or spinal cord lining. Participants may receive zorifertinib or another standard treatment, and researchers will monitor their response over time.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07188077Recruiting
Study of immune changes in brain lymphoma
This trial looks at the immune system and metabolism of people with primary central nervous system lymphoma (a type of brain cancer) to find differences that might help with future treatments. It does not test a new drug, but collects samples and medical information.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07288385Recruiting
Virtual reality and brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests if using virtual reality along with mild brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who are at least three months past their stroke and have moderate arm weakness.
RiyadhAges 18 years+ - NCT07324330Recruiting
Slowing cognitive decline with exercise in iRBD
This study tests if increasing physical activity can help slow down cognitive (thinking) decline in people with iRBD, a sleep disorder that often leads to Parkinson's or dementia. You'll use a smartphone and a FitBit to track your activity and receive coaching.
Bonn, North Rhine West-FaliaAges 50–80 - NCT00794352Recruiting
Studying immune brain and nerve conditions with tests and samples
This study looks at how immune-related brain or spinal cord illness shows up using exams, MRI scans, and sometimes a spinal fluid test (lumbar puncture), plus collected blood and other samples. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future diagnosis or treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–99 years - NCT02795052Recruiting
Stem cell treatment trial for nerve injury
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT02797366RecruitingPhase 2
Proton beam radiation for adult brain and spine tumors
This trial studies whether proton radiotherapy can treat primary brain (and sometimes spine) tumors in adults. You may join because your tumor type and situation fit specific diagnoses, including some cases needing a re-treatment plan.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT03270059RecruitingPhase 2
MRI with special contrast to study brain and other CNS problems
This trial tests whether two special MRI contrast medicines—gadolinium and ferumoxytol—can better diagnose problems in the brain or central nervous system. It may help doctors identify what’s causing symptoms or abnormal brain findings.
Portland, OregonAges 10 years+ - NCT07503704Recruiting
Studying breast cancer that spread to the brain
This study looks at genetic material from spinal fluid to better understand breast cancer that has spread to the brain or its lining. It may help doctors find new ways to treat this type of cancer.
DublinAges 18–99 - NCT07523737RecruitingPhase 2
Combination drug trial for relapsed brain lymphoma
This trial tests three drugs together—pomalidomide, an anti-PD-1 antibody, and selinexor—to treat primary central nervous system lymphoma (a blood cancer in the brain) that has returned after previous treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the cancer and help patients live longer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07539441RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mirdametinib for brain and nervous system tumors
This trial tests a drug called mirdametinib for people with specific types of brain tumors or neurohistiocytosis (a rare condition affecting the nervous system). The drug targets mutations that cause these conditions to grow.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07653893Recruiting
T-DXd for breast cancer that has spread to the brain
This study is looking at how well the drug trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) works for women and men with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to the brain. Researchers want to see how much of the drug gets into the spinal fluid and if it helps shrink brain tumors.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07636876Enrolling by invitation
Italian MS and Related Disorders Patient Registry
This is a registry study that collects health information from people with multiple sclerosis and related conditions. By joining, you help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future treatments.
Genova, GenovaAges Any age - NCT07471984Enrolling by invitation
Checking how AI reads brain scans for better diagnosis
This study tests a new AI tool to see if it can help doctors better understand brain MRI and CT scans. It may find issues like strokes, bleeding, tumors, or injuries.
BeijingAges Any age - 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 - NCT06827782Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Cord blood CAR-NK cells for relapsed CNS lymphoma
This trial tests a new treatment using specially engineered immune cells from cord blood to target and kill cancer cells in the brain or spine. It is for people whose central nervous system lymphoma has not responded to or has returned after previous treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07029386Recruiting
Brain stimulation for thinking problems in MS and NMOSD
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial electrical stimulation) to see if it can improve thinking and memory problems in people with inflammatory brain diseases like MS or NMOSD. It may help if you feel your thinking has slowed down.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT06942611Recruiting
Electrical brain stimulation for chronic pain from nerve inflammation
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (transcranial electrical stimulation) to see if it can reduce chronic pain in people with conditions like multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica. It aims to offer a new, drug-free option for pain relief without major side effects.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT07087873Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation for memory problems in inflammatory diseases
This trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve memory and thinking in people with certain inflammatory conditions that affect the brain and spinal cord.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for central nervous system diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 208 recruiting central nervous system diseases 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 central nervous system diseases 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 central nervous system diseases 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.
