Recruiting studies
- NCT06250842Recruiting
Benzodiazepine impact on brain function study
This study uses brain scans to understand how long-term benzodiazepine use affects thinking and memory. It compares people who have taken benzodiazepines for at least 3 months with those who have not.
Dalian, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT07184892Recruiting
Swallowing therapy after stroke
This study tests if watching swallowing movements (action observation therapy) helps people recover swallowing function after a first-time stroke. It uses a brain imaging technique called fNIRS to see how the brain responds.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07147673Recruiting
Brain activity study in infants during grasping
This study uses a safe, noninvasive brain-monitoring cap to see how infants' brains control grasping movements. It may help researchers understand typical motor development in babies.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 3 months–9 months - NCT07054866Recruiting
Rural autistic kids & language support study
This study is for autistic children or those with language delays, as well as their siblings or cousins, living in rural areas. It aims to help them express themselves better. Typically-developing children are also welcome as a comparison group.
Bozeman, MontanaAges 2 years+ - NCT07044596Recruiting
Non-invasive brain stimulation to slow cognitive decline
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation can help slow memory loss or thinking problems. It is looking for healthy volunteers and people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury within the past year.
Madison, WisconsinAges 20–85 - NCT05417542Recruiting
Study how young brains hear rhythms
This study looks at how babies’ brains process rhythm and sound. It may help researchers understand early brain development, especially from premature birth through infancy.
AmiensAges birth–18 years - NCT07014891Recruiting
Visual feedback training to help walking after stroke
This study uses a special brain-scanning technique to guide video feedback training for people who have had a stroke, aiming to improve walking ability. It is for those who can move their legs a little and understand instructions.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT06868979Recruiting
Eye imaging for X-linked disorders
This study uses special eye imaging to look at changes in the brain and eyes of people with creatine transporter deficiency (a condition that affects brain energy) or fragile X syndrome. It aims to find a way to see these brain changes without needing a biopsy or spinal tap.
BronAges 5–60 - NCT06864065Recruiting
Emotion regulation in binge eating disorder study
This study looks at how women with binge eating disorder process emotions, focusing on brain activity in the prefrontal cortex. It aims to understand the emotional challenges related to binge eating.
BesançonAges 18–60 - NCT06503484Recruiting
Brain training with light for stroke arm recovery
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) using near-infrared light can help stroke survivors improve hand and arm movement. You'll receive a type of brain training called neurofeedback during the study.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–75 - NCT06136247Recruiting
Brain & thinking tests in opioid use disorder
This study tests whether brain scans and thinking tests can help understand opioid use disorder. It is for people on stable buprenorphine or methadone treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–60 - NCT05200182Recruiting
Brain training to improve control over emotional eating
This study tests a brain training technique (neurofeedback) that may help improve self-control related to emotional eating. If you tend to eat more when stressed or upset, this could help you manage those urges.
RennesAges 18–50 - NCT04696835Recruiting
Brain-light test with pediatric hearing aids
This study uses a special non-painful sensor test on the head (functional near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS) to understand how young children’s brains respond while wearing hearing aids. It may help improve how hearing aids are adjusted for babies and toddlers with hearing differences.
LilleAges 3 months–1.5 years

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fnirs?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 37 recruiting fnirs 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 fnirs 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 fnirs 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.
