Leronlimab Safety and Brain Inflammation in Alzheimer's
This study tests whether a drug called leronlimab is safe and can reduce inflammation in the brains of people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease or memory problems. Researchers will use special brain scans to see if the drug affects inflammation.
New York, New YorkAges 50 years+ - NCT07554833Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Motor and Memory Skills
This study tests whether repeated magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the brain can help improve movement and thinking problems in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure how the treatment affects your motor control and cognitive function over the study period.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50–90 - NCT07557368Recruiting
Gamified games to help with thinking and recovery in schizophrenia
This study tests whether playing structured games on a phone or tablet can help people with schizophrenia improve their thinking skills, memory, and social confidence while in the hospital. The games are designed to be engaging and therapeutic.
ShanghaiAges 18–45 - NCT07557381Recruiting
Game-Based Brain Training for Schizophrenia
This study tests whether playing games on a smartphone or tablet can help improve memory, attention, and thinking skills in people with schizophrenia. Researchers will track how the game-based training affects cognitive abilities over time.
ShanghaiAges 18–45 - NCT07560904Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Improve Memory in Cognitive Decline
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help improve working memory (the ability to hold and use information briefly) in people with mild cognitive impairment related to Parkinson's disease or Lewy body disease. The stimulation targets deep brain structures without surgery.
BrnoAges 60–80 - NCT07563777Recruiting
Long-term study of human aging and health
This is a long-term research study that follows people over time to understand how humans age. Researchers will collect information about your health and lifestyle to learn what helps people stay healthier as they get older.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07568093Recruiting
Music therapy to reduce agitation after abdominal surgery
This study tests whether listening to music after abdominal surgery can help reduce agitation and anxiety during recovery. Researchers will compare patients who receive music therapy with standard care to see if it improves comfort and outcomes.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT07569471Recruiting
Group compassion therapy for psychosis beliefs
This study tests a new group-based therapy that combines compassion-focused techniques with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people with schizophrenia or related conditions change their beliefs about their psychosis. The goal is to reduce distress and improve how you cope with symptoms.

Donanemab for early Alzheimer's disease in Chinese participants
This trial tests a drug called donanemab in people who have early signs of Alzheimer's disease (amyloid buildup in the brain) but are still thinking clearly. The goal is to see if the drug can slow or prevent cognitive decline before memory problems start.
BeijingAges 55–80 - NCT07578675Recruiting
Brain Activity Patterns in Anemia Patients
This study uses a non-invasive brain imaging tool to understand how anemia affects thinking and brain function. Researchers hope to learn more about why some anemia patients experience cognitive problems and how to help them.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cognition?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,028 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.
