Recruiting studies
- NCT06757569Recruiting
New PET scan for detecting amyloid plaques in the brain
This study tests a newer, shorter PET scan to see if it can detect amyloid plaques (sticky protein clumps linked to memory loss) as well as the standard scan. It may help diagnose cognitive problems with less time in the scanner.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03402919Recruiting
Brain and memory study for people with thinking changes
This study looks at memory and thinking changes using questionnaires, memory testing, and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand neurodegeneration and dementia and how these problems show up over time.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 50–90 - NCT06164028Recruiting
Understanding how caregivers and clinicians describe pain in young children
This study interviews caregivers and clinicians to understand how they describe acute pain in babies and toddlers under 2. The goal is to improve pain assessment tools.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05770479Enrolling by invitation
Testing long-lasting cognitive training for older veterans
This study looks at whether a cognitive training program you’ve already completed can keep helping over time, and whether it can be improved with “booster” sessions. It may help older veterans maintain thinking and daily functioning skills after earlier training.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 55 years+ - NCT07760545Recruiting
Memory screening by video before surgery
This study tests whether doing a quick memory and thinking check over video call is as reliable as doing it in person. You would take part before your scheduled surgery to help improve how cognitive health is assessed.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 65 years+ - 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 - NCT07757542RecruitingPhase 2
Hydrogen gas for mild cognitive impairment
This trial tests whether breathing in a small amount of hydrogen gas is safe and might help people with mild cognitive impairment. It aims to see if this simple approach could support brain health.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 50–80 - NCT06010511Recruiting
White matter changes and brain fluid study in older adults
This study uses special MRI scans to look at white matter changes in the brain (often linked to memory problems). It may help doctors understand more about these changes in older adults visiting memory or geriatric clinics.
LeidenAges 65 years+ - NCT06180902Recruiting
Testing fluid response methods in patients with reduced consciousness
This trial compares different ways to check if a patient in the ICU with lowered consciousness needs more IV fluids. It aims to find the most accurate method, which could help doctors give the right amount of fluid.
MoscowAges 18 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 - NCT03182400Recruiting
Brain and sense testing in healthy kids and adults
This study measures how your brain processes sounds, touch, and thinking tasks in healthy people. It mainly helps researchers understand normal sensory and thinking function, which can guide future studies and tests.
ToursAges 1–60 - NCT07572968Recruiting
Walking and Balance Tests for Older Adults with Memory Concerns
This study looks at how older adults walk and balance when doing two tasks at once (like talking while walking). Researchers want to understand how mild memory concerns affect movement, which could help catch early brain changes.
Balıkesir, BigadiçAges 65 years+ - NCT07087873Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation for memory problems in inflammatory diseases
This trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve memory and thinking in people with certain inflammatory conditions that affect the brain and spinal cord.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT07083089Recruiting
Hearing and thinking in early Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
This trial studies how hearing relates to early memory and movement problems in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. It may help find new ways to detect and track these conditions.
MontpellierAges 50–85 - NCT05481749Recruiting
Neuropsychology testing for adults 80+ in Garraf
This study checks how older adults think and remember using a set of neuropsychological tests. It mainly looks at people age 80 and up living in the Garraf area who can travel to a study center.
Sant Pere de Ribes, BarcelonaAges 80 years+ - NCT06298279Recruiting
Online CBT for public safety personnel in Canada
This study tests an online therapy program (cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT) designed specifically for public safety personnel. It looks at how the timing of the course and learning from others affects your progress. You can join from anywhere in Canada.
Regina, SaskatchewanAges 18 years+ - NCT04400617Recruiting
Improving sleep in assisted-living residents
This study looks at sleep quality in people living in assisted-living. It aims to see what changes (or routines) may improve sleep, especially in residents who are physically independent.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 50 years+ - NCT05245903Recruiting
Test a supplement and track brain changes with wearable sensors
This study tests whether taking nicotinamide riboside (a form of niacin) affects early memory changes in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It also uses passive wearable or sensor data (“digital biomarkers”) to measure changes over time.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges 18–89 - NCT07272811Recruiting
Computer memory testing for early Alzheimer's signs
This study uses a computer-based platform to test memory and thinking in healthy adults and in people with mild memory concerns (called aMCI). The goal is to better understand how memory changes with age and to spot early signs of Alzheimer's disease.
Milan, ItalyAges 55–80 - NCT06337578Recruiting
Telephone-based cognitive screening study
This study tests if a phone-based cognitive screening can effectively assess thinking and memory. It may help people who can't easily visit a clinic.
MilanAges 18–100 - NCT07553338RecruitingPhase 2
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+ - NCT07268768Recruiting
Personality, thinking, and sensitivity in headache
This study looks at how personality, thinking skills, and heightened nerve sensitivity are connected in people with headache. It aims to better understand these relationships to improve care.
Messina, SicilyAges 18–60 - 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+ - NCT05449119Recruiting
Study links gut health, diet, and thinking and movement in seniors
This study looks at how differences in gut bacteria and nutrition may relate to changes in thinking and movement in people over 75 who have a reduced appetite (“small eaters”). It may help doctors better understand what could be contributing to these problems and how nutrition might play a role.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cognitive assessment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 140 recruiting cognitive assessment 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 cognitive assessment 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 cognitive assessment 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.
