Recruiting studies
- NCT07610655Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation to Aid Recovery After Spine Surgery
This study tests whether a small device that gently stimulates a nerve in your neck can help you recover better after lumbar spine surgery. The device may help reduce confusion, depression, and other thinking problems that sometimes occur after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07611396Recruiting
Study of brain changes in memory and thinking with aging
This study follows people with normal thinking, early memory problems, or Alzheimer's disease to understand how the brain changes over time. Researchers will use smell tests, blood work, and memory testing to learn more about these conditions and potentially help future treatments.
Germantown, MarylandAges 55 years+ - NCT07615257Recruiting
Mindfulness and CBT for Psoriasis-Related Emotional Stress
This study tests whether a combination of mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)—talk-based techniques to manage thoughts and emotions—can help psoriasis patients feel less stressed and more compassionate toward themselves. Participants attend sessions over several weeks to learn these skills.
Rahim Yar Khan, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–75 - NCT07615478Recruiting
Hot spring therapy for reducing fatigue during altitude rowing training
This study tests whether soaking in hot springs can help young rowers feel less tired and recover better while training at high altitude. Researchers want to see if the hot water helps the body's natural fatigue-fighting systems work better.
Macao, MacaoAges 12–16 - NCT07619092Recruiting
Flumazenil to reverse sedation during depression treatment
This trial tests whether flumazenil (a medication that reverses sedation from anti-anxiety drugs) can safely help patients wake up faster after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), a treatment for severe depression. The goal is to see if it improves recovery time without causing problems.
Frederiksberg, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07624747Recruiting

This study looks at how gender-affirming hormone therapy affects brain health and function in transgender adults. Researchers want to understand the effects of these hormones on the brain before and after treatment begins.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–45 - NCT07625241Recruiting
Brain and Movement Training for Mild-to-Moderate Dementia
This study tests two types of training—cognitive (brain) and movement exercises—for people with mild-to-moderate dementia. The goal is to see if these activities together can help improve thinking, memory, and physical function.
Genova, GenovaAges 65 years+ - NCT07634055Recruiting
Motor Reserve in Early Dementia Stages
This study compares how the brain controls movement in people with mild memory loss (MCI) versus healthy people. Researchers want to understand how the brain compensates early on, which could help identify who might develop dementia.
Catanzaro, CatanzaroAges 18–85 - NCT07641153Recruiting
Virtual Reality Games to Prevent Confusion After Surgery
This study tests whether playing cognitive games in virtual reality (VR—a computer-generated environment you interact with using a headset) can help prevent delirium (severe confusion) in older adults after major surgery. Delirium is common after surgery in seniors and can slow recovery; this trial explores whether VR brain exercises might reduce it.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 65 years - NCT07641075Recruiting
High-Dose Vitamin D Effects in Experienced Athletes
This study tests whether high-dose vitamin D supplements improve athletic performance, brain function, and body composition in experienced athletes. Researchers will measure hormones, muscle strength, thinking ability, and muscle mass over time.
Katowice, Mikołowska 72aAges 17–60 - NCT07641569Recruiting
Dual-Task Training Methods for Parkinson's Disease
This study compares two different training approaches that combine cognitive (thinking) and physical exercises to help improve balance, walking, and daily functioning in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find which method works better for maintaining independence and preventing falls.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges 40 years+ - NCT07646782Recruiting
Human Observatory Study: Aging and Longevity Research
This study observes how people age over time to better understand what helps people live longer and healthier lives. You'll share health information through surveys or online screening, and researchers will track changes in your health and wellbeing.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07652892Recruiting
Fatty Liver, Memory, and Health in Men and Women
This study looks at how fatty liver disease (related to metabolism) affects memory, strength, and quality of life—especially comparing men and women. It helps understand why some people with fatty liver feel more tired or have trouble thinking clearly.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 20–80 - NCT07663578Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for epilepsy patients and healthy volunteers
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation method called TIEFS. It uses safe electric fields to see how it affects thinking and brain waves. You may join if you are having brain surgery for epilepsy or are a healthy adult.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07666685Recruiting
Beetroot Extract for Health in Adults 75+
This study looks at whether taking beetroot extract can help improve quality of life and daily function in adults 75 and older. You will be asked to take the extract and complete simple health questionnaires.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 75 years+ - NCT07667478Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for early Alzheimer's memory loss
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique can help improve memory in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may be an option if you have mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's and have had a positive blood test for Alzheimer's markers.
Houston, TexasAges 55–90 - NCT07669168Recruiting
Health study comparing usual care vs. extra support
This study looks at whether adding extra health support helps people stay healthier over time. You would be followed for a while and asked to share how you are doing.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07594808Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Stress Management App for African American Men with High Blood Pressure
This study tests a mobile stress-management app to help African American men lower their blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure and a smartphone, you may be able to take part from home.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07572630Enrolling by invitation
How your brain processes visual information and attention
This research study examines how your brain focuses on and processes visual details. Participants will complete visual tasks while we monitor brain activity using safe imaging technology, helping us understand how attention shapes what we see.
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT07543094Enrolling by invitation
Brain Stimulation for Early Alzheimer's Memory and Thinking
This study tests whether a special type of brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation can improve memory and thinking skills in people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The treatment uses electrical stimulation to target specific brain areas without surgery.

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.
