Recruiting studies
- NCT05432349Recruiting
Rett syndrome genetic registry for MECP2 changes
This trial is a registry that collects health and genetic information from people with Rett syndrome. It may help researchers better understand how MECP2 loss-of-function changes lead to symptoms and how to support patients.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth–99 years - NCT04395495Recruiting
RASopathy disorder study biobank for kids and families
This study collects and stores health samples and information from people with RASopathy conditions (like Noonan or Costello syndromes) and from family members who may not have the condition. It helps researchers understand these disorders and supports future studies that could lead to better care.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT05394363Recruiting
Victoria children birth-cohort study with parent/guardian consent
This study follows children born in a specific 2-year window and their parents or guardians over time. It helps researchers understand how children and families change as they grow, which can guide future health supports in Victoria.
Parkville, VictoriaAges 1 day+ - NCT04732052Recruiting
tDCS treatment for adults with developmental disabilities and aggression
This trial tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) can reduce aggressive behaviors in adults with developmental disabilities. It’s meant for people who have had aggression in the last month and can safely receive the stimulation.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT04673565Enrolling by invitation
Coaching new hearing-aid users to use them more
This study tests whether motivational interviewing (a supportive coaching conversation) can help people who are new to hearing aids wear and use them more successfully. It uses online questionnaires to understand hearing-aid use and comfort.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03918421Recruiting
IgM-MAG neuropathy study using immunoglobulin M treatment
This study looks at a treatment made from immune proteins (immunoglobulin M) to treat neuropathy caused by anti-MAG antibodies. It may help improve nerve symptoms in people with this specific type of nerve condition.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT04043442Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Brain stimulation study for alcohol use with mild brain injury
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation to help with day-to-day functioning in people who have alcohol use disorder and a history of mild traumatic brain injury. It also uses brain and symptom testing to see who may benefit most and why.
Hines, IllinoisAges 22–65 - NCT04026386Recruiting
Early intervention program for preschool children with developmental delays
This trial tests a structured, center-based early intervention program for preschoolers with developmental disorders. It may help children build skills and support development through guided activities and testing at the research site.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 2–5 - NCT03541135Enrolling by invitation
Study of heart health, diet, and activity in older adults
This study looks at heart health, food, and physical functioning in people age 65 and older living in Madrid. It may help researchers understand how lifestyle affects aging and cardiovascular wellbeing.
MadridAges 65–95 - NCT03713125Enrolling by invitation
Study of thinking skills in young children
This study looks at how children in kindergarten think and learn (often called “executive function”). They may be testing whether certain patterns in thinking and behavior relate to learning or development, and what can be measured in young children.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 4–9 - NCT03586258Recruiting
Brain scan and memory testing for people with brain injury
This study uses memory and thinking tests along with brain scans (likely MRI) to understand how different types of brain damage affect thinking. It may help doctors learn more about brain-related cognitive problems.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT00628199Enrolling by invitation
Skin sample study to create future cell therapies
This study collects skin cells from people with certain long-term conditions (or specific genetic disorders). Researchers use the cells to try to build new treatments for human disease and disability in the future.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 1–75 - NCT01087320Recruiting
Gene discovery through genome sequencing for rare disorders
This study uses advanced gene sequencing to look for the genetic cause of rare diseases that haven't been explained yet. You or a family member might join to help find a diagnosis and contribute to medical research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks–99 years

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for disability?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 253 recruiting disability 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 disability 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 disability 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.
