Recruiting studies
- NCT03232463Enrolling by invitation
Testing an advanced MRI scan in everyday clinic care
This study checks whether a more advanced MRI scan can be safely used in regular clinical practice. If you need an MRI for a health problem, the study may help your care team use the newer scan approach.

Understanding stomach and gut symptoms in functional dyspepsia
This study uses brain scans (MRIs) and a test meal to understand how the brain and stomach communicate in people with functional dyspepsia (ongoing pain or fullness). This could help improve treatments by identifying how people with this condition feel and process stomach sensations differently.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT05912270Recruiting
Music lessons to boost thinking skills in primary school
This trial studies whether an “orchestra in class” music program can improve kids’ thinking and brain development. It’s meant for younger primary school children and may help with skills like planning and attention.
GenevaAges 6–8 - NCT05795179Recruiting
Stress study testing how self-control affects eating choices
This study looks at how stress and self-control can affect what people do with diet and weight. You may be asked to follow specific study procedures and complete tasks while being assessed (including possible scanning).
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT06871839Recruiting

Placental MRI Study for Healthy Pregnancies
This research study uses a special MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to look at blood flow in the placenta during pregnancy. The goal is to learn more about how the placenta works and find new ways to check on the health of both mom and baby.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18–60 - NCT05194254Recruiting
MRI eye-tracking study for social thinking in autistic children
This study uses MRI to measure how children’s eyes track during tasks, aiming to better understand social thinking in autism. It includes both autistic participants and children with very low autism scores to compare results.
Amiens, PicardieAges 10–20 - NCT04648124Recruiting
MRI brain scan study in hereditary retinal vision loss
This study uses functional MRI (a type of brain scan) to understand how the brain processes vision in people with inherited retinal disorders. You might be included if you are an adult with hereditary retinal degeneration and are planning certain vision-related treatments soon.
Paris, PARISAges 18 years+ - NCT06499870RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two drugs with radiation for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether combining two hormone therapy drugs, relugolix and enzalutamide, with radiation therapy can help treat very high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective for men whose cancer has a high chance of coming back.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05357456Recruiting
Study of brain and memory changes in cortisol-producing adrenal conditions
This study tracks thinking and brain changes over time in people with adrenal findings that produce too much cortisol (a stress hormone) on their own. It may help doctors understand how different treatments or watchful waiting affect the brain and cognition.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 20–65 - NCT06910293Recruiting
Brain Activity During Menstrual Cycle vs. Fertility Treatment
This study looks at how natural menstrual cycles and ovarian stimulation (which mimics some fertility treatments) affect brain activity and hormone levels. Researchers want to understand normal brain changes during the cycle to help improve fertility treatments.
Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi EmirateAges 25–35 - NCT07333495Recruiting
Using MRI to check kidney transplant health
This study tests if a special MRI (without dye) can accurately measure how well a transplanted kidney is working. It is for people who have received a kidney transplant or a combined kidney-pancreas transplant, and for living donors.
Shiyan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT03067181RecruitingPhase 3
Active surveillance and chemotherapy for germ cell tumors
This study looks at how to manage germ cell tumors in children and young adults using careful monitoring for some patients and chemotherapy for others. It aims to see whether these approaches can control the cancer while avoiding unnecessary treatment when possible.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT04458883Recruiting
Cardiac MRI test in people with prior heart attack
This study uses special heart MRI scans to improve how heart images are made and interpreted. You may be asked to undergo MRI testing to help compare scans in people with a past heart attack and healthy volunteers.
Aberdeen, AberdeenshireAges 20 years+ - NCT04540107RecruitingPhase 1
MRI scan study to characterize lower-grade brain tumors
This Phase 1 study uses special MRI scans (including a form of MR spectroscopy) to better understand lower-grade gliomas. It is designed to test how well the imaging can “characterize” the tumor and to improve understanding for treatment planning.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04993196Recruiting
Brain MRI T1rho scan in healthy adults
This study checks a specific MRI measurement (called T1rho) in healthy people. It helps researchers understand how this scan works and what it can show, using volunteers rather than patients.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05147649Recruiting
Brain scan study in severe sleep apnea without CPAP
This trial uses a specialized brain scan (MRI) to study people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who are not using CPAP. It also compares them with people who do not have sleep apnea to understand how brain function differs.
ReimsAges 18–75 - NCT05414357Recruiting
Sleep problems study in breast cancer and effects on thinking
This study looks at how sleep problems affect thinking and daily quality of life in people treated for early breast cancer. It may help researchers understand which sleep issues to target to improve well-being during or after treatment.
CaenAges 45–65 - NCT05427136Recruiting
Study early lung problems after childhood cancer treatment
This study looks for early lung (breathing) problems in children after certain cancer treatments, using lung tests and sometimes MRI scans. It may help doctors spot breathing complications earlier and guide better care.

MRI to plan less invasive surgery for penile cancer
This trial studies how functional MRI scans (a special MRI that shows how tissues work) can help doctors plan surgery for newly diagnosed penile squamous cell cancer. It may help more people get organ-sparing surgery, which aims to remove the cancer while preserving as much function as possible.
OsloAges Any age - NCT05525845Recruiting
Brain scan study of how the body controls eating
This study uses an MRI brain scan to understand why you feel hungry, satisfied, or “pulled” to eat, and how your body’s internal balance affects food intake. It may help researchers learn more about eating regulation, which could guide future treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for functional magnetic resonance imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 274 recruiting functional magnetic resonance imaging 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 magnetic resonance imaging 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 magnetic resonance imaging 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.
