Brain stimulation for hard-to-treat epilepsy
This study tests a new type of gentle brain stimulation (HD-tDCS) to see if it can reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that does not get better with standard medicines. The treatment uses a small device to send a weak electrical current to specific areas of the brain.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–50 - NCT06376500Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help thinking after concussion
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that some people have after a mild concussion. tDCS uses a small electrical current from scalp electrodes to gently activate parts of the brain.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 18–65 - 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.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT06384222RecruitingPhase 2
MRI scan to monitor response to abiraterone before prostate surgery
This trial tests whether a special MRI scan can show how well the drug abiraterone works against high-risk prostate cancer before surgery. If you have high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread, you might be able to take abiraterone for a few months and then have a prostatectomy, with the MRI helping your doctor see the drug's effect.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06391034RecruitingPhase 2
MRI scan with pyruvate for prostate cancer
This trial uses a special MRI scan (with hyperpolarized pyruvate, a naturally occurring substance) to look at prostate cancer in more detail. It aims to help doctors understand how the cancer is responding to treatment or how it might behave.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06452862Recruiting
MRI for diabetic kidney disease
This study uses special MRI scans to look at the kidneys in people with diabetic kidney disease. The goal is to see if MRI can help doctors better understand and manage the condition.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT06561165Recruiting
Brain stimulation and motor function study
This study tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can improve motor function in healthy adults. If you are right-handed, in good health, and have no neurological or major medical conditions, you may be eligible.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 65–85 - NCT06563310Recruiting
Brain Training for Anxiety Using Neurofeedback
This study tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help people with certain anxiety disorders learn to change how they think about upsetting situations. Participants will do thinking exercises while an MRI machine measures their brain activity, which helps them see if they are using the right coping strategies.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–24 - NCT06652763Recruiting
MRI scan for heart failure with normal pumping strength
This study uses a special MRI scan with a natural contrast agent (manganese) to look at how well the heart muscle works in people with heart failure who still have normal pumping strength. The goal is to learn more about why this type of heart failure happens.
LeicesterAges 18 years+ - NCT06688916Recruiting
Body awareness after spinal cord injury
This study examines how people with spinal cord injury experience their body and sense of self. You will answer questionnaires and may have an MRI scan of your brain while parts of your body are touched, to see how your brain reacts.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18–65 - NCT06724289RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Psilocybin for prolonged grief
This trial tests if a single dose of psilocybin (a psychedelic drug) can help people with prolonged grief disorder. You'll receive counseling and be observed in a safe setting.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT06757491Recruiting
Low frequency brain stimulation for diarrhea-predominant IBS pain
This trial tests if a type of brain stimulation called low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (lf-rTMS) can reduce belly pain in people with irritable bowel syndrome that causes diarrhea (IBS-D). It is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to target areas of the brain involved in pain perception.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06819475Recruiting
Muscle health study for childhood leukemia survivors
This study uses imaging to look at how well the mitochondria (the tiny power plants inside your muscle cells) are working. It compares survivors of childhood leukemia who have low muscle mass to healthy volunteers, to understand muscle health and find ways to help.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06834126RecruitingPhase 1
Papaverine with radiation for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests if adding papaverine (a drug) to radiation therapy can help people with locally advanced rectal cancer avoid surgery and keep their rectum. It is for patients who have already had chemotherapy and want a non-surgical approach.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06884722Recruiting
Brain study of social perception in Parkinson's disease
This study uses brain scans to understand how people with Parkinson's disease process social cues, like faces and emotions. It may help researchers learn more about how Parkinson's affects social thinking.
BronAges 30–75 - 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 - 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+ - 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.

New Brain Imaging Methods Research Study
This research study tests new ways to take detailed pictures of your brain using MRI (a safe imaging machine). You'll help researchers develop better imaging methods by lying still in the scanner for up to 2 hours.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00397111Recruiting
MRI brain-scanning study of mood and anxiety in adults
This study uses brain MRI scans and mental tasks to better understand mood and anxiety problems. It may help researchers develop improved MRI methods for studying depression and healthy brain function.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT02098265Recruiting

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.
