Recruiting studies
- NCT07526740Recruiting
Brain Stimulation and Training for Mild Memory Loss
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with cognitive training games can help people with mild cognitive impairment—early memory and thinking problems. The goal is to see if this combination improves thinking abilities and slows cognitive decline.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 60–85 - NCT06801171Recruiting

Testing memory effects of dexmedetomidine during heart surgery
This study looks at how a sleep medicine called dexmedetomidine affects thinking and memory after heart surgery. It compares cognitive outcomes over time to see if this sedation choice changes long-term brain function.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 60 years+ - NCT05273125Recruiting
Testing mobility and thinking in people with mild cognitive problems
This study looks at how well people with mild cognitive problems can think and move, using brief learning/thinking tests and a walking task. It may help researchers understand changes early enough to guide future care.
LilleAges 65 years+ - NCT05201534Recruiting

Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 6–12 - NCT07404085Recruiting
Boosting thinking skills with training and medication in mood or schizophrenia disorders
This study tests whether adding a medication that may improve brain flexibility makes memory and thinking training work better for people with bipolar disorder, recurring depression, or schizophrenia spectrum disorders. It could help improve daily thinking skills and quality of life.
Frederiksberg, Capital Region of DenmarkAges 35–75 - NCT07242495Recruiting
Virtual reality with exercise for memory in older adults
This trial tests whether using 360-degree virtual reality videos during aerobic exercise can improve thinking and memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. It's a chance to try a new approach that combines exercise and immersive technology.
IslamabadAges 60 years+ - NCT07182396Recruiting
Video games vs ball tossing for hand-eye coordination in older adults
This study tests whether playing video games or tossing balls can improve hand-eye coordination in older adults with mild memory problems. It is designed for people 60 and older who have mild cognitive impairment but are otherwise independent.
IslamabadAges 60 years+ - NCT07863440Recruiting
Digital therapy for gambling disorder
This trial tests a smartphone-based therapy program to help people stop gambling. It also involves a family member, like a parent, spouse, or sibling, to support the patient during treatment.
Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta Special Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06936397Recruiting
Cognitive therapy for schizophrenia: Brain changes and emotions
This trial tests a cognitive training program for people with schizophrenia to see if it improves thinking and emotional control, and how it affects brain activity measured by EEG.
IstanbulAges 18–55 - NCT07763392Recruiting
Normal cognitive test scores for adults
This study is testing a voice-controlled digital platform to measure normal memory and thinking abilities in healthy adults. By participating, you would help create a baseline of normal scores that doctors can use to compare against when assessing people with thinking problems.
Carlsbad, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT03657745Recruiting
40 Hz light and brain training for Alzheimer’s
This trial tests whether a combination of 40 Hz light stimulation and cognitive (thinking) therapy can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by stimulating the brain and training thinking skills, while carefully checking eye and seizure history.
Miami, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT05886114Recruiting
Lifestyle program to help older adults at risk of memory decline
This trial tests a multi-part lifestyle program to help older adults who may be starting to decline in thinking and memory. It may help slow cognitive decline by combining lifestyle changes over 24 months.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 60–80 - NCT07295652Recruiting
Understanding thinking problems in brain disorders
This study looks at how psychiatric and neurological conditions affect thinking and memory skills. By comparing patients with healthy volunteers, researchers hope to better understand these cognitive problems and find new ways to help.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07267416Recruiting
Monitoring to prevent confusion after heart surgery
This trial uses brain monitoring during heart surgery to try to prevent post-surgery confusion or memory problems. It may help if you are having valve repair or bypass surgery.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05888961Recruiting
Study of taste changes in people with memory problems
This study tracks how taste perception works in people with different stages of memory and thinking problems, including mild to moderate Alzheimer-type conditions. It uses non-painful taste testing and brain-wave measurements to understand changes over time and may help improve how these conditions are assessed.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06546813Recruiting
Assistive technology in rehabilitation
This trial studies how assistive technologies (like devices for communication, computer use, or controlling your environment) help people during rehabilitation. If you need a prosthetic device or tool for these purposes, you may be able to join.
Milan, MIAges Any age - NCT03360838Recruiting
Prediction test for confusion after heart surgery in older adults
