Recruiting studies
- NCT05507138RecruitingPhase 2
Digital therapy for depression and thinking problems after stroke
This Phase 2 trial tests a smartphone/tablet-based program to improve post-stroke depression and executive thinking skills (like planning and attention). It may help if you have ongoing depressive symptoms and thinking/executive difficulties at least 6 months after your first stroke.
New York, New YorkAges 50–79 - NCT05661084Recruiting
Non-surgery brain stimulation for dementia thinking and movement
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation device (tES) can improve thinking and movement problems in people with dementia. You (and your caregiver, if needed) will be asked to follow the study plan and attend visits so researchers can measure results and safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55 years+ - NCT06608966Recruiting
Epilepsy Journey: Helping Teens Manage Daily Challenges
This study tests a program called Epilepsy Journey to help teenagers with epilepsy improve skills like planning, organizing, and staying on task. It is designed for teens who struggle with these thinking skills and live at home with a caregiver.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 13–17 - NCT07226219RecruitingPhase 1
Medication to help attention in children with sickle cell disease
This study tests whether a common medication called methylphenidate (often used for ADHD) can help children with sickle cell disease who have attention or memory problems. If the child qualifies, the study may offer a new way to improve focus and daily functioning.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 8–17 - NCT06868784Enrolling by invitation
Thinking and daily skills in children with Duchenne
This study looks at how thinking skills (like planning and memory) affect everyday activities such as dressing or playing in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It aims to find ways to help kids do better in their daily lives.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 6–12 - NCT07692958Recruiting
Thinking skills training for children with heart defects
This trial tests a program to help children born with heart problems improve their thinking and planning skills (called 'executive function'), which may be affected by their heart condition or surgery. It is for children aged 9 to 13 who had heart surgery before age 1 and show some difficulties with these skills.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 9–13 - NCT07595783Recruiting
Brain Training for Children With ADHD Using Neurofeedback
This study tests a new type of brain training called neurofeedback to help children with ADHD. Children complete sessions where they learn to control their own brain activity, which may improve attention and focus.
BielefeldAges 6–13 - NCT06782074Recruiting
Epilepsy's impact on thinking and emotions in teens
This study looks at how idiopathic generalized epilepsy affects thinking skills and emotions in adolescents aged 11 to 18. It aims to better understand these effects to improve care.

Study of treatment targets for binge eating disorder
This trial studies how binge eating disorder behaves during treatment and compares patterns over time. It may help by improving future treatment approaches for people with binge eating disorder.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07092280Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for children with autism
This trial tests if mild electrical stimulation applied to the head (tDCS) can help children with autism. Your child must be enrolled in ABA therapy and be off certain medications to join.
Staten Island, New YorkAges 5–12 - NCT06790173Enrolling by invitation
Strategy training for physical activity after stroke

Singapore, SingaporeAges 13–15 - NCT06126809Recruiting
How brain activity affects working memory
This trial measures how brain activity relates to working memory (the ability to hold information in mind). It uses electroencephalography (EEG), a non-invasive way to record brain waves, while you perform memory tasks. The study may help understand how different brain signals support memory in healthy young adults.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for executive dysfunction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting executive dysfunction 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 executive dysfunction 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 executive dysfunction 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.
