Exercise and Therapy for Chronic Pain and Sleep Problems
This study tests whether exercise, talk therapy for sleep problems, or both together can help people with long-term back, hip, or knee pain who also struggle with sleep. You'll attend video appointments and try one of these approaches for several weeks.
San Antonio, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT07535021Recruiting
Mandala Art Therapy to Help With Cancer Surgery Recovery
This study tests whether creating mandala art (decorative circular patterns) helps colorectal cancer patients cope better after surgery. Researchers want to see if art therapy reduces stress, builds emotional strength, and improves your ability to handle the surgery and recovery.
SivasAges 18–74 - NCT07536503Recruiting
How Sleep Quality Affects Thinking and Function in MS
This study looks at whether better sleep helps people with multiple sclerosis (MS) think more clearly and stay more physically active. Researchers will measure your sleep quality and test your memory and everyday abilities to see if they're connected.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07538453Recruiting
Movement Breaks and Thinking Skills in School Children
This study looks at whether short movement breaks during school help kids in grades 5–6 think better and focus more. Researchers want to understand how physical activity affects learning and mental skills.
Castellon, CastellónAges 11–12 - NCT07543562RecruitingPhase 3
Selenium supplement for heart failure patients
This study tests whether taking selenium (a mineral supplement) helps heart failure patients feel better and live longer. Researchers will follow patients over time to see if selenium reduces symptoms and hospital visits.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07550140Recruiting
Brain Imaging Study on Diet and Thinking in Older Adults
This study looks at how diet affects thinking and memory in people aged 60–80 who have mild memory concerns. Researchers will use brain imaging (MRI scans) to see if certain foods or nutrients help protect brain health.
Reading, BerkshireAges 60–80 - 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+ - 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

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cognitive?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,030 recruiting cognitive 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 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 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.
