This study tests whether special brain exercises can help protect thinking and memory skills during CAR-T cell therapy—a newer cancer treatment for certain blood cancers. Researchers want to see if training your brain during treatment reduces side effects on memory and mental function.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07598552Recruiting
Brain Function Changes After Same-Day Hip or Knee Surgery
This study checks whether patients who have hip or knee replacement surgery and go home the same day experience any temporary changes in thinking or memory. Researchers want to understand how anesthesia and surgery affect the brain in the short term.
SvendborgAges 70 years+ - NCT07586501Enrolling by invitation
Brain Health and Immune System Study in Older Adults
This research study examines how the brain's immune system changes in older adults with memory problems, Parkinson's disease, or normal aging. By understanding these changes, researchers hope to better understand neurodegeneration and develop new treatments.
Yantai, ShandongAges 55–75 - NCT07588997Recruiting
Brain Training After Aneurysm Bleeding to Improve Thinking and Movement
This study tests whether combining thinking exercises with physical movements can help people recover better after a brain aneurysm ruptures and bleeds. You'd start the training early in your recovery (2-7 days after treatment) to see if it helps your memory, attention, and ability to move.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05540613Recruiting
Tai Chi versus exercise to help thinking in mild memory loss
This study compares Tai Chi with conventional exercise to improve thinking and memory in older adults who have mild cognitive impairment. If you qualify, you may be asked to do a supervised exercise program and be tested on thinking abilities over time.
Hong KongAges 50 years+ - NCT07572942Recruiting
Laser vision tests for memory and movement concerns
This study tests whether a special laser-based vision test can help detect early thinking and movement changes in older adults. Researchers want to see if this test is useful for identifying people at risk for cognitive decline before serious memory problems develop.
Balıkesir, BigadiçAges 65 years+ - NCT07568158Recruiting
How Anesthesia Nurses Handle Multiple Tasks During Surgery
This study looks at how anesthesia nurses manage their workload during different stages of surgery. Researchers will observe and measure how busy nurses feel while they care for patients under anesthesia, which could help improve training and safety in operating rooms.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07558785Enrolling by invitation
Testing speech and memory checks at home for early thinking problems
This study uses a video-based system at home to check your speech and memory, helping doctors spot thinking problems early using artificial intelligence. The goal is to see if this simple, at-home test can reliably catch early memory and thinking changes.
PilsenAges 40 years+ - NCT07547319Recruiting
Accelerated rTMS to improve cognitive function
This study tests whether repeated magnetic pulses to the brain (called rTMS) can help improve thinking and memory in older adults with mild to moderate cognitive decline. The treatment is non-invasive and may help slow cognitive changes.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50–90 - NCT07546877Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Improve Memory After Stroke
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that occur after a stroke. If you've had a stroke in the past year and are experiencing cognitive difficulties, this trial may help restore some of your mental abilities.
JinanAges 35–75 - NCT07532551Recruiting
Online Therapy for Anxiety and Depression in Singapore
This study tests an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (a self-guided online mental health program) for people with mild-to-moderate anxiety or depression. You'd use an app on your phone or computer to work through lessons and exercises designed to help manage these feelings.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07531888Enrolling by invitation
Brain Stimulation to Improve Memory in Older Adults
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help improve memory and thinking skills in people aged 60–75 who have noticed mild memory problems. You'll receive either real or sham (placebo) stimulation and undergo cognitive training over several weeks.
Pachuca, HidalgoAges 60–75 - NCT06753578Recruiting
Cognitive training for seniors with mild memory loss
This trial tests a new cognitive training program designed to improve quality of life and thinking skills in older adults living in care facilities who have mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The program uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help participants adapt to memory challenges.
Santander, CantabriaAges 65 years+ - NCT06754202Recruiting
Farming and nature activities for mild memory loss
This study tests if spending time in farmlands and natural settings can help older adults with mild memory problems maintain their thinking abilities and overall health. It uses a special approach based on the Montessori method to keep participants engaged and active.
AnconaAges 55 years+ - NCT07517237Recruiting
Brain Stimulation and Cognitive Training for Memory and Thinking
This study tests whether a small device that stimulates a nerve in your ear (combined with computerized brain exercises) can help improve memory, attention, and thinking abilities in adults experiencing cognitive changes. You'll use the device at home with an app on your phone or tablet.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 45–80 - NCT07523113Recruiting
Brain Fog Treatment for ME/CFS Using Cognitive Training
This study tests whether a computerized cognitive training program combined with a mild electrical nerve stimulation device (worn on the ear) can help improve thinking and memory problems in people with ME/CFS. The goal is to see if this approach helps with brain fog and daily functioning.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07519798Enrolling by invitation
Brain Stimulation for Memory Problems in Older Adults
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (early memory loss that isn't yet dementia). Participants will receive the stimulation treatment and have their cognitive function monitored over time.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 60–80 - NCT06553235Recruiting
App-based sleep and memory help for breast cancer survivors
This study tests whether an app-based program can improve sleep and thinking problems (like concentration and memory) in people who finished breast cancer treatment 1-5 years ago. If you have trouble sleeping and/or notice changes in your memory or focus, this trial may be able to help.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT07504276Recruiting
Remote rehab vs in-person rehab for stroke recovery
This study compares doing brain-training exercises at home on a digital device versus going to a clinic after a stroke. It aims to see which method better helps improve memory, thinking, and daily function.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–80 - NCT05667857Recruiting
Tracking brain, mood, and quality of life after immunotherapy
This study follows people who have had advanced cancer and are now stable after immunotherapy, to see how thinking, mood, and daily life change over time. Some participants may also do an integrative brain-training program if they have memory or thinking problems.
Brussels, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT06792877Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cognition?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,981 recruiting cognition 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 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 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.
