Recruiting studies
- NCT06826638Recruiting
Brain activity during arm exercises for MS and healthy volunteers
This study looks at brain activity during task-oriented arm exercises to understand how neurorehabilitation works. It may help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers improve motor function.
GenovaAges 18–60 - NCT06769672Recruiting
Walking and thinking training with brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
Hong KongAges 50 years+ - NCT07236216Recruiting
Brain stimulation with walking training for stroke recovery
This study tests if combining brain stimulation (tES) with a walking training program can improve thinking, movement, and brain activity in stroke survivors. You may benefit if you have some walking ability and no major health risks.
Nakhon PathomAges 18–80 - NCT06478303Recruiting
Brain circuits for language and movement learning
This study uses brain imaging and stimulation to see how the brain connects language and movement. It may help improve how we learn motor skills and understand language.
Grenoble, GrenobAges 18–40 - NCT07676630Recruiting
Brain Training Exercise for Female Volleyball Players
This study tests a special exercise program designed to improve how your brain and body work together during volleyball. It's for young female players in Turkey who are already playing competitively.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 16–21 - NCT06840405Recruiting
Brain activity during walking after stroke
This study looks at how the brain works while walking in people who have had a stroke. It may help researchers understand walking problems better.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT07180654Recruiting
TMS brain stimulation study in menstrual cycle
This study uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, to see how it affects brain plasticity (the brain's ability to change) throughout the menstrual cycle. It may help researchers understand differences in brain function related to hormones.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 20–40 - NCT07623512Recruiting
Brain imaging to track arm recovery after stroke
This study uses a safe brain-imaging technology called fNIRS to measure how your brain changes during arm recovery after stroke. The goal is to better understand how rehabilitation helps your brain reorganize and improve arm function.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT06748976Recruiting
Brain activity study during attention tasks
This study looks at how your brain controls attention by measuring brain activity while you perform tasks. It may help researchers understand attention better.
Oro Verde, Entre Ríos ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT05256160Recruiting
Study brain excitability in people with cyclic vomiting syndrome
This study looks at how sensitive your brain is (brain “excitability”) in people with cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). It may help researchers understand what is happening in the brain during CVS and how it could be treated in the future.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–60 - NCT06361160Recruiting
Brain stimulation for treatment-resistant voices in schizophrenia
This trial tests a brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) to help reduce the frequency and intensity of voices people with schizophrenia hear. It is for individuals who continue to hear voices frequently despite trying multiple medications.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06785181Recruiting
Heart-brain health in healthy adults
This study looks at how the heart, blood vessels, and brain work together in healthy adults. It may help us understand normal body function.
San Donato Milanese, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT04806568Recruiting
Cognitive training to help brain flexibility in multiple sclerosis
This study tests whether structured cognitive exercises can improve “neuroplasticity,” meaning how flexible and changeable the brain is. It includes people with multiple sclerosis and healthy volunteers, and uses tasks plus brain scans to see what changes over time.
Thessaloniki, Central MacedoniaAges 18–65 - NCT06234995RecruitingPhase 4
Brain activity and movement control in Parkinson's
This study looks at how the brain controls movement in people with Parkinson's disease, including those who have had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It involves recording brain activity and may help doctors understand how to improve treatment.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 45–75

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cortical activation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting cortical activation 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 cortical activation 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 cortical activation 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.
