MRI scan to measure prostate acidity before surgery
This study tests a new MRI technique that measures acidity in prostate tumors. It may help doctors better understand the cancer before surgery, potentially guiding treatment decisions.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05447273Recruiting
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 - NCT06381726Recruiting
Personalized brain mapping to protect movement during glioma surgery
This study tests a personalized approach to map and protect the brain's movement pathways during surgery for slow-growing brain tumors. The goal is to remove as much tumor as possible while keeping your quality of life and movement abilities intact.

Flumazenil to reverse sedation during depression treatment
This trial tests whether flumazenil (a medication that reverses sedation from anti-anxiety drugs) can safely help patients wake up faster after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), a treatment for severe depression. The goal is to see if it improves recovery time without causing problems.
Frederiksberg, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07540429Recruiting
Brain Imaging Study in Teen Girls: Exploring Mental Health Differences
This research study uses a special brain-imaging machine (fMRI) to take pictures of how teen girls' brains work. Researchers want to understand brain differences between girls with borderline personality traits, girls with ADHD, and girls without these conditions. The study will help doctors better understand these conditions in teenagers.
DuryAges 12–17 - NCT07455292Recruiting
Heart valve study using advanced MRI
This study uses a special type of MRI, called 4D flow MRI, to better understand how severe aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve) affects heart function. It may help doctors learn more about different types of this condition and improve future treatment.
San Donato MilaneseAges 18 years+ - NCT06065215Recruiting
Early-life MRI to Predict Breathing Problems in Extremely Preterm Infants
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how the lungs develop in babies born very early (before 29 weeks of pregnancy). The goal is to see if early MRI images can help predict future breathing problems, so doctors can better support these infants.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 8 months–1.8 years - 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+ - NCT06105853Recruiting
Stress and brain activity in alcohol use disorder
This study looks at how people with alcohol use disorder respond to stress and what happens in the brain. You'll use a smartphone and may have an MRI scan to understand your stress responses.
Mannheim, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–65 - NCT07180628Recruiting
Brain study of speech in adults who stutter
This study uses brain scans to look at how the brain's speech circuits work in adults who stutter. Researchers hope to better understand the brain activity behind stuttering, which could lead to improved treatments.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT07033923Recruiting
Brain study of mood changes in depression and bipolar disorder
This study uses a mobile app and brain scans to understand day-to-day mood changes in people with depression or bipolar disorder. It may help doctors learn how to better predict and treat these conditions.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06961864Recruiting
Brain function in visual snow syndrome
This study uses visual tests and brain scans to understand how the brain processes vision in people with visual snow syndrome compared to those without. It may help researchers learn more about what causes this condition.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–60 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for functional magnetic resonance imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 273 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.
