Aligning medications with what matters most: patient portal trial
This study tests whether a patient portal tool can help older adults with memory problems and their care partners adjust medications to better match their personal goals and values. It is for people who are 65 or older, have mild cognitive impairment or dementia, are taking a medication that may not be ideal for their age, and use the patient portal.

Virtual Reality to Help Recovery in ICU Patients
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) glasses can help patients recover better after spending time in the intensive care unit. The VR program is designed to help regain strength, movement, and mental function during recovery.
Porto, Porto DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT07602283Recruiting
Music to Help with Pain and Memory Problems
This study tests whether listening to music can help reduce pain and improve thinking in people with early memory loss or mild dementia. Researchers will monitor brain activity, heart rate, and pain levels while you or your loved one participate in music sessions.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 50–80 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT07448675Enrolling by invitation
Thinking and memory in untreated severe mental illness
This study looks at how severe mental illness affects thinking and memory in people who have never been treated. It may help researchers understand the early brain changes and find better ways to help.
TianjinAges 18–65 - NCT07238049Enrolling by invitation
Real-world dementia outcomes: an observational study
This study follows people with memory or thinking problems over time to learn more about how these conditions progress. It's an observational study, meaning no new treatments are tested—just information is collected from your regular care.
BangorAges 45 years+ - NCT07162467Enrolling by invitation
Exploring metabolism and thinking in schizophrenia
This trial looks at how a natural chemical pathway in the body might relate to thinking problems in people with schizophrenia. It compares healthy volunteers to people with schizophrenia to find biological clues.

Live Music Benefits for Early Alzheimer's Patients and Caregivers
This study tests whether listening to live music can improve brain function and well-being for people with early Alzheimer's or mild dementia, and their caregivers. You and your loved one would wear sensors to measure brain and heart activity during music sessions.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 50–80 - NCT06888219Enrolling by invitation
Acupuncture for Swallowing and Tube Removal After Brain Injury

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cognitive impairment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 577 recruiting cognitive impairment 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 impairment 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 impairment 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.
