Recruiting studies
- NCT07677046Enrolling by invitation
Combination therapy for complex dissociative disorder
This trial studies a therapy called Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) combined with group sessions for people with complex dissociative disorder, such as dissociative identity disorder (DID) or other specified dissociative disorder (OSDD). The goal is to help process trauma in a safe and supportive setting.
Oslo, OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT04670640Recruiting
Study of brain and therapy factors in trauma-related dissociation
This study looks at how dissociation (feeling detached or unreal) works in people who have had trauma. It tests different “mechanistic” approaches to better understand the brain and how to help, and whether participation can reduce these symptoms.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–65 - NCT06067906Recruiting
Weight loss diet after pre-eclampsia in overweight women
This trial tests whether a special diet (either a low-calorie or a 'dissociated' diet) helps women who have had pre-eclampsia lose weight. It may help you reduce future health risks.
Le MansAges 18–45 - NCT06330467Recruiting
Study of dissociative identity disorder in adults with childhood trauma
This study looks at how common dissociative identity disorder (a condition where a person may have two or more distinct identities) is in adults who experienced trauma as children. Participants will undergo a psychological evaluation to help researchers understand the link between childhood trauma and dissociative symptoms.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06917209Recruiting
Therapy for dissociative disorders trial
This trial tests a type of talk therapy called dissociation-focused cognitive behavior therapy for people with dissociative disorders (like feeling detached from yourself or having multiple identities). It aims to see if this therapy can help reduce symptoms.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07369024RecruitingPhase 2
Study of low-dose ketamine for sickle cell pain crisis
This study tests whether a low-dose of ketamine (a pain medicine) can help children and young adults with sickle cell disease who are in a pain crisis. It aims to provide better pain relief while avoiding some side effects of standard painkillers.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges 5–20 - NCT02757339Enrolling by invitation
Study of brain differences in dissociation after abuse
This study looks at brain activity and biology in women who have PTSD or dissociative identity disorder (DID) with a history of childhood abuse or neglect. It may help researchers understand what causes “traumatic dissociation” and how it develops.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges 18–89 - NCT07663890Recruiting
Exploring dissociative identity disorder
This study explores how dissociative identity disorder (DID) works. If you have DID and are seeing a therapist, you may help researchers learn more.
CarvinAges 18 years+ - NCT07217925Recruiting
Neurofeedback for people with OCD and PTSD symptoms
This study tests whether a brain training technique called neurofeedback can improve well-being in people who have both OCD and post-traumatic stress symptoms. It is for adults on a therapy waiting list who do not have other serious untreated conditions.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–90 - NCT07667114Recruiting
Wrist ligament repair surgery trial
This trial tests a surgical technique to repair a torn ligament in the wrist (the scapholunate ligament) using a part of a nearby tendon. It may be an option for people with this specific wrist injury who meet the health requirements.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05736471Recruiting
Online survey study of thinking and emotions
This study tests how people’s thinking patterns and feelings change during online tasks and surveys. It may help researchers understand how cognition (thinking) and mood (feelings) are connected.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04861051RecruitingPhase 1
Study ketamine effects on brain sensations in adults
This Phase 1 study tests how ketamine changes “dissociative” experiences—feelings of being disconnected from thoughts or surroundings—in adults. You may be helping researchers better understand ketamine’s effects, which could guide safer future uses.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06462196Recruiting
Study of Depression, Bipolar Disorder & Suicide Risk
This study looks at how depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide risk naturally change over time. It aims to better understand these conditions so doctors can improve treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06506565RecruitingPhase 4
Low-dose ketamine for burn wound pain
This trial tests a low-dose ketamine infusion during burn wound dressing changes to see if it reduces pain. It might help people who are hospitalized with a thermal burn injury.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06552832Recruiting
A study on children playing with their mothers
This trial is exploring if children and their mothers can take part in a simple play-based activity at home. It will help researchers understand if this type of study is possible and helpful for families.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 1–50 - NCT07033741Recruiting
EMDR therapy for depression symptoms study
This trial studies whether EMDR therapy helps reduce depressive symptoms and what factors predict improvement. It is open to patients with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or dissociation symptoms.
Turin, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT07062042Recruiting
Empowering narratives for Ukrainian refugees in Norway
This study tests a therapy program for Ukrainian refugees in Norway who have PTSD symptoms or have experienced trauma. It aims to help participants by exploring personal stories and coping strategies.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05565352Enrolling by invitation
Ketamine safety study for people in inpatient psychiatric care
This trial looks at whether ketamine is safe and well-tolerated for certain mental health conditions when given in a hospital setting. It may help teams better understand side effects and comfort for people who may be offered ketamine.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dissociation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 18 recruiting dissociation 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 dissociation 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 dissociation 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.
