Recruiting studies
- NCT06703307Recruiting
Brain markers for stroke-related thinking changes
This study uses a special brain scanning technique (fNIRS) to look for markers that show how stroke affects thinking. Both people who have had a stroke and healthy volunteers can join.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06806397Recruiting
Brain imaging study of arm weakness after stroke
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
MoscowAges 35–70 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT07236892Recruiting
Restoring movement after paralysis: healthy volunteer study
This study uses healthy volunteers to test algorithms that could one day help people with paralysis move again. You may be able to participate if you have no paralysis-causing conditions.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07238920Recruiting
Brain training for heart health in people with coronary artery disease and anxiety
This trial tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback, which uses a video game controlled by your brain activity to help your heart and nervous system work better. It is for people with both coronary artery disease and anxiety who want to improve their heart health and manage anxiety without medication.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07244484Recruiting
Brain Training for Heart Health in Coronary Artery Disease with Anxiety
This trial tests a brain training technique (neurofeedback) to help people with coronary artery disease and anxiety. It aims to improve heart rate control by targeting a specific brain area.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07262528Recruiting
Brain training for hand recovery after stroke
This trial tests a brain-based training method (neurofeedback) to help improve hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke in the last 3 months and still have weakness on one side.
RzeszówAges 18–70 - NCT07468032Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for stroke patients and healthy volunteers
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) combined with EEG to understand how the brain controls movement speed after a stroke. It compares healthy volunteers to stroke survivors whose movement has slowed due to network problems, not direct damage to key brain regions.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT07485361Recruiting
Brain scanning in disorders of consciousness
This trial uses a portable brain scanner (fNIRS) to study brain activity in people with disorders of consciousness, like coma or minimally conscious states. It may help doctors better understand and track recovery in these patients. Healthy volunteers are also needed as a comparison group.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07578675Recruiting
Brain Activity Patterns in Anemia Patients
This study uses a non-invasive brain imaging tool to understand how anemia affects thinking and brain function. Researchers hope to learn more about why some anemia patients experience cognitive problems and how to help them.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07623512Recruiting
Brain imaging to track arm recovery after stroke
This study uses a safe brain-imaging technology called fNIRS to measure how your brain changes during arm recovery after stroke. The goal is to better understand how rehabilitation helps your brain reorganize and improve arm function.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fnirs?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 41 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.
