Check early vision changes in infants at risk for brain vision problems
This pilot study looks at early vision (what babies can see and how their eyes respond) in children who have risk factors for future “cerebral visual impairment,” meaning vision problems caused by the brain. It may help doctors spot issues earlier and better understand which early visual signs matter.
RomeAges 2 days–3 years - NCT06852209Recruiting

Bologna, BolognaAges 18–80 - NCT07733726Enrolling by invitation
Dual-Task Mouth and Memory Training for Oral Frailty
This study tests a program that combines mouth exercises with memory tasks to see if it can improve both chewing, swallowing, and thinking skills in people who have oral frailty and some memory decline.
KowloonAges 50 years+ - NCT06955494Recruiting
Smartphone brain training for memory and hearing
This study tests whether a brain-training program done on a smartphone can improve hearing, thinking, and quality of life in people with mild memory problems and hearing loss. You and a family caregiver will use the program together.
Hong KongAges 60 years+ - NCT06701630Recruiting
Italian study of daily thinking and memory scales
This study is testing new questionnaires to better understand everyday thinking and memory problems in older adults. It aims to improve how doctors identify and track conditions like mild cognitive impairment and early dementia.
Milan, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT07764679RecruitingPhase 3
Brain scan to detect Alzheimer's plaques
This study tests a new PET brain scan that uses a special dye to show amyloid plaques, which are linked to Alzheimer's disease. It may help doctors see if your memory problems are caused by Alzheimer's or something else.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40 years+ - NCT07672834Recruiting
Resistance band training for leg strength in older adults
This study tests whether using simple elastic resistance bands can help improve leg muscle strength in older adults who have weak leg muscles. It involves supervised training sessions and may help you move better and feel stronger.
LondonAges 50 years+ - NCT07659964Recruiting
Rhythmic music and walking study for Alzheimer's
This study tests whether listening to a steady beat (rhythmic music) while walking can improve movement and brain function in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 50–90 - NCT07287852Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Ginkgo biloba extract for mild cognitive impairment
This trial tests whether a specific ginkgo biloba extract (EGb761) can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It also looks at changes in blood markers related to the condition.
JerusalemAges 65 years+ - NCT05436600Recruiting
Exercise program for people with narrowed neck arteries
This trial studies whether a supervised exercise program can improve mobility and balance in people who have narrowed carotid arteries in the neck but no stroke symptoms. If you fit the criteria, the goal is to see whether exercise helps your movement and safety without increasing risks.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–89 - NCT07404761Recruiting
Moving your arm after stroke or TBI
This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses and augmented reality (a computer overlay on real life) to help people who have arm or hand weakness after a recent stroke or brain injury regain movement.
HaifaAges 18 years+ - NCT06411561Recruiting
Boosting memory after ICU stay for older adults
This study tests a combination of activities (like cognitive training and exercise) to help older adults recover thinking and memory after a serious illness in the ICU. It may help you regain sharpness and independence after leaving the intensive care unit.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 60 years+ - NCT04171323Recruiting
Active mind training to improve thinking and delay dementia
This study tests an “active mind” computer-based program to help improve thinking skills and possibly slow the process toward dementia. You may be randomly assigned to different program options to see which approach works best for your goals.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 55–89 - NCT07877376Recruiting
How thinking problems affect pain in breast cancer survivors
This study looks at whether mild memory or thinking issues after breast cancer treatment are linked to ongoing pain. If you join, you will help doctors understand this connection, which may lead to better pain care.

Edegem, AntwerpenAges 60 years+ - NCT06672367Recruiting
Balance and gaze exercises for brain health in older adults
This study looks at whether adding gaze stability exercises (eye and head movements) to balance training can improve thinking, balance, and walking steadiness in older adults with mild memory problems. It may help those who can follow simple instructions and join in physical activity.
IslamabadAges 55 years+ - NCT07338682RecruitingPhase 2
L-Arginine for memory in older adults
This trial tests if L-Arginine, a natural amino acid, can improve thinking and memory in adults over 60 with mild to moderate memory problems. You may join if you have no other brain diseases or certain health conditions.
CairoAges 60 years+ - NCT07073781Recruiting
Probiotics for Brain & Blood Sugar in Overweight Young Adults
This study tests whether taking a probiotic (a 'good bacteria' supplement) can help brain function (thinking, memory) and improve blood sugar control in overweight adults who have higher-than-normal blood sugar. If you're between 18-40, overweight, and don't have diabetes, you may be able to join.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for functional impairment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 134 recruiting functional impairment 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 functional impairment 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 functional impairment 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.
