Recruiting studies
- NCT06880159Recruiting
Brain stimulation for children with autism
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help children with autism spectrum disorder. The goal is to see if this non-invasive brain stimulation can improve symptoms.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 8–12 - NCT06882902Enrolling by invitation
Brain wave study for OCD habits
This study uses an EEG (a safe, painless cap that records brain activity) to look for unique brain patterns linked to habit behaviors in people with OCD. Participating could help researchers better understand OCD habits and improve future treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–50 - NCT06878326Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for teens with autism
This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help improve brain function in adolescents with autism. It aims to find out which teens might benefit most.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 12–22 - NCT06867549RecruitingPhase 2
Propofol for depression in older adults
This study tests if a medicine called propofol (given through an IV) can help improve depression symptoms by boosting slow brain waves during sleep. It is for people 60 and older whose depression has not fully responded to standard antidepressants.
St Louis, MissouriAges 60 years+ - NCT05708001Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation to improve memory in mild impairment
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation method (tACS) can improve memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A caregiver also helps with the stimulation during the study, and success is measured through study visits and memory-related evaluations.
GenevaAges 55–85 - NCT05710549Recruiting
Brain study of autobiographical memory using brain stimulation
This study looks at how the brain supports remembering your own past experiences. It tests brain mechanisms using brain scanning (MRI) and noninvasive brain stimulation to see how these memory processes work.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18–85 - NCT06725550Recruiting
Acupuncture for pain in sickle cell disease
This trial tests whether adding acupuncture to standard pain treatments can help manage pain in people with sickle cell disease. It involves brain scans, questionnaires, and acupuncture sessions to see if this approach reduces pain and improves quality of life.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 14–80 - NCT05698810Recruiting
Study exams practice for upcoming research
This trial checks whether it’s practical and workable to set up study-related exams before planned research. It mainly recruits adults who can consent and be contacted, so the team can prepare future studies smoothly.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT06259916Recruiting
EEG to tell alcohol vs. cannabis intoxication
This study uses electroencephalography (EEG) to see if brain activity can tell whether you are drunk, high, or both. Results might help improve safety in the future.
Fort Collins, ColoradoAges 21–50 - NCT06272669Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy for teens with autism
This study tests whether repeated sessions of a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help teenagers with autism feel calmer or more focused. The treatment is non-invasive and involves wearing a cap with electrodes for about 20 minutes at a time.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 12–21 - NCT06237101Recruiting
Effect of Remifentanil on Burst Suppression Ratio
This study tests how remifentanil (a pain medicine given during surgery) affects brain activity patterns. It may help doctors better control anesthesia for safer surgeries.
Santiago, RMAges 18–60 - NCT06057909Recruiting
Brain function study in Lewy body and Alzheimer's disease
This study looks at how brain function changes over time in people with Lewy body disease or Alzheimer's. Researchers will use memory tests, MRI scans, and EEG (a painless brain-wave recording) to track these changes, and you will need a family member or friend to help report on your daily life.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 50–95 - NCT06003127Recruiting
Recovery from dexmedetomidine-induced unconsciousness
This study explores how people recover after being given a common sedative called dexmedetomidine. It may help doctors better understand and manage recovery from sedation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT05944692Recruiting
Tripolar EEG test during seizure monitoring
This study checks whether a new type of EEG recording (a brain wave test) can detect seizure activity in people with epilepsy. You may join if you are already scheduled for routine and video EEG testing (and possibly inpatient monitoring) as part of your clinical care, including a brain MRI.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 6 years+ - NCT05905705Recruiting
ECT plus a sleep monitor for treatment-resistant depression
This study looks at how electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) affects brain activity and sleep patterns in people with difficult-to-treat depression. It uses a wearable sleep monitor (the Dreem device) to record sleep while you receive ECT.
St Louis, MissouriAges 21–65 - NCT05492032Recruiting
Brain stimulation sessions for teens with autism symptoms
This trial tests whether repeated, brain-based stimulation (done through the scalp) can improve symptoms in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, and whether a later “booster” session adds more benefit. It may help learn which stimulation schedule works best, especially when teens also have attention symptoms—but not epilepsy or mood/anxiety disorders.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 12–21 - NCT05380921Enrolling by invitation
Dry-electrode EEG headset for VA telehealth visits
This trial is testing a new “dry electrode” EEG headset used during EEG testing done as an outpatient (and possibly from home/clinic by telehealth). It may help make EEG recordings easier and more comfortable compared with traditional setups.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05397197Recruiting
Studies how early birth affects learning new words
This study looks at how being born early (between 32 and 36 weeks) or at full term affects a baby’s vocabulary learning. It also compares babies who have typical newborn health checks to better understand what might influence language development.
MarseilleAges birth–2 years - NCT05306327Recruiting
Study nerves and breathing after stopping life support
This trial looks at how a person’s nervous system signals change right after life support is withdrawn. It may help doctors better understand what to expect during end-of-life care and how to monitor the process.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05035511Recruiting
Predicting tDCS results in autistic teens with machine learning
This study uses machine learning to predict how well a teen with autism may respond to tDCS, a non-invasive brain stimulation. It mainly looks at personal factors (like understanding instructions and baseline abilities) to better estimate treatment outcomes.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 12–22 - NCT04649008RecruitingEarly Phase 1
MRI and brain electrodes to map epilepsy areas
This early study looks at how MRI scans and implanted brain electrodes (intracranial EEG) can pinpoint where seizures start, especially in the temporal (side) lobe. It may help doctors better localize seizure sources for people whose seizures don’t respond well to medications.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03276273Recruiting
Check brain-wave changes in people starting dialysis for the first time
This trial looks at brain activity (using a painless EEG, which measures brain waves) in people who are starting hemodialysis for the first time. It aims to understand what happens to brain activity when dialysis begins, and whether specific patterns are seen.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for electroencephalography?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 46 recruiting electroencephalography 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 electroencephalography 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 electroencephalography 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.
