Recruiting studies
- NCT05608434RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Virtual reality ADHD training for kids and teens
This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) training program can help strengthen attention and focus in children and teens with ADHD. Participants will use a VR headset for training sessions, and the study will compare different groups to see how well the training works.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–16 - NCT05277558Recruiting
MRI and brain testing in teens at risk for type 2 diabetes
This study looks at brain health in teens with normal weight, overweight, or obesity who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand how weight and diabetes risk affect the brain, using MRI scans and learning/memory tests.
St Louis, MissouriAges 12–17 - NCT07021001Recruiting
School program to prevent mental health issues in teens
This study tests a school program to help teens build emotional skills and prevent mental health problems. It is open to all students in certain grades, with no health exclusions.
CoimbraAges 11–18 - NCT04289142RecruitingPhase 4
Testing memory effects of dexmedetomidine during heart surgery
This study looks at how a sleep medicine called dexmedetomidine affects thinking and memory after heart surgery. It compares cognitive outcomes over time to see if this sedation choice changes long-term brain function.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 60 years+ - NCT07279441Recruiting
Cochlear Implants and Listening Effort Study
This study looks at how much mental effort it takes for people with normal hearing or a cochlear implant to listen in different situations. Researchers want to learn how hearing and thinking work together, which could help improve cochlear implant technology.
Waltham, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07318519Recruiting
Virtual reality for chronic cancer pain
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) can help reduce chronic pain in people with cancer. If you have had cancer pain for at least three months and rate your pain as 4 or more out of 10, you may be able to join.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06947876Recruiting
PUFFINS brain health study for adults 50+
This study looks at how small blood vessel changes in the brain (called 'small vessel disease') affect thinking and memory over time. It may help us understand how to keep brains healthy as we age. If you are 50 or older and do not have any memory concerns, you might be able to join.
AberdeenAges 50 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cognitive health?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 271 recruiting cognitive health 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 health 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 health 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.
