Comparing stepped vs. tailored care for youth anxiety
This study compares two ways of delivering cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to children and teens with anxiety.

Trial for chronic pelvic pain: CBT vs education/support
This study tests whether structured talking therapy (CBT) or education/support helps reduce chronic pelvic pain problems in adults. It compares two approaches over time and uses symptom diaries and follow-up check-ins to see which works better.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT05185128Recruiting
Social skills training and brain imaging in teens with autism
This study looks at how social thinking and social skills training affect the brain in teens with autism, compared with teens with other severe mental health conditions and typically developing teens. It may help researchers understand what drives social difficulties and what could improve social functioning.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 12–18 - NCT05594017RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Test medicine to change brain rhythms and study memory
This early research study tests whether a medicine can change the brain’s electrical “rhythms” while people do memory-related tasks. It may help researchers understand how brain timing affects memory in people who are already being evaluated with specialized brain electrode monitoring.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT05676918Recruiting
Postpartum well-being study for mothers in the past year
This study looks at mothers’ well-being after having a baby, to understand what affects mental and emotional health after childbirth. It may help improve support for mothers during the postnatal period.
Madrid, Pozuelo de AlarcónAges 18 years+ - NCT05794061Recruiting
Testing new ways to assess brain and behavior health
This study is developing and checking better tests to understand neurological (brain-related) and psychiatric (mental health) conditions. If you have a diagnosed brain or mental health condition—or you’re being considered as a healthy person—your results will help researchers see how well these assessments work.
Milan, LombardyAges 20–100 - NCT05851950Recruiting
Group CBT to reduce rumination in psychosis
This trial tests a structured group therapy (rumination-focused CBT) to help reduce repetitive negative thinking (“rumination”) that can worsen symptoms in people with psychosis. It may help you feel less stuck in unhelpful thoughts and improve day-to-day functioning while you continue your usual care.
CopenhagenAges 18–37 - NCT05945602Recruiting
Using brain signals to guide cognitive rehab in psychosis
This study looks at brain-wave or related “brain signal” measurements to better guide cognitive rehabilitation (thinking and memory skills). It may help people with long-term psychotic disorders, and it also may include healthy comparison volunteers to understand the signals.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06186089Recruiting
How stomach surgery affects gut bacteria and your thinking
This study looks at how having stomach cancer surgery changes your gut bacteria and thinking abilities. Researchers want to understand if these changes affect memory or brain function after the operation.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 40–80 - NCT06334588Recruiting
Autism brain study using MRI and social thinking tasks
This study uses MRI brain scans (already needed for medical reasons) to better understand how autism affects social thinking. It compares people with autism to healthy volunteers to see differences in brain activity.
ParisAges 3 months–28 years - NCT06340789RecruitingPhase 2
Sodium Benzoate Added to Antipsychotics for Resistant Schizophrenia
This study tests whether adding a supplement called sodium benzoate to your current antipsychotic medication can improve symptoms in schizophrenia that hasn't responded well to standard treatments. Researchers will measure brain chemistry changes and symptom improvement over time.
Chiayi CityAges 20–55 - NCT06398496Recruiting
Exercise, gut health, mood in depression
This trial studies whether a 12-week exercise program can improve gut bacteria, mood, and thinking in people with depression. It may help if you are looking for a non-medication way to support your mental health.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cognition disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 454 recruiting cognition disorder 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 cognition disorder 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 cognition disorder 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.
