Recruiting studies
- 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.

Brain scan and memory testing after bleeding from a brain aneurysm
This trial uses brain MRI scans and memory/brain-function tests in people who are recovering from a specific type of brain bleed (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage). It aims to understand how the brain’s memory area changes after the event and how that may relate to memory function during rehabilitation.
Hessisch OldendorfAges 18–70 - NCT06315179Recruiting

Vagus Nerve Stimulation to Improve Heart Function in Parkinson's Disease
This study tests a non-invasive ear-based stimulation technique (taVNS) to help regulate heart function in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if this gentle stimulation can improve blood pressure and heart rate control.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT05943652Recruiting
Study of how functional overlay affects movement disorders
This study looks at movement disorders that are functional (not caused by damage to the nervous system) or non-functional, and how a “functional overlay” may change symptoms. It is observational, meaning it does not test a new treatment, but it may help researchers better understand these differences and improve care.
Graz, StyriaAges 18–18 - NCT05698576Recruiting
Laser treatment through the skin for men with prostate cancer
This trial tests a laser procedure done through the skin between the scrotum and anus, guided by MRI and ultrasound, for men with certain prostate cancer types. It aims to heat and treat prostate cancer while checking safety and outcomes over follow-up visits.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 50–80 - NCT07033221Recruiting
Balance and inner ear function in obesity
This study looks at how obesity affects your sense of balance (vestibular function). It compares people with obesity who are candidates for weight-loss surgery to people without obesity, to see if weight affects balance.
Istanbul, KüçükçekmeceAges 18–60 - NCT07446114Recruiting
Brain-computer interface trial for ALS (Canada)
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) device that may help people with ALS or motor neuron disease regain some control over their environment. It involves implanting the device in a blood vessel in the brain.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05987761Recruiting
Social skills training for teens with autism
This study tests a social skills training program for teens with autism who are higher functioning. It uses brain scans to see how the training might work, and your teen must be willing to come in for weekly sessions for 9 weeks.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 11–14 - NCT03288220Recruiting
Brain stimulation trial to improve arm movement
This trial studies whether a specific kind of non-painful brain stimulation (TMS) can improve arm and hand movement. It tests this in healthy volunteers and in people recovering from stroke.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06593184Recruiting
Magnetic stimulation for mobility after stroke
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called trans-spinal magnetic stimulation to help improve walking and movement in people who have had a stroke. It is for those with trouble walking and are at least 6 months past their stroke.
João Pessoa, ParaíbaAges 18–75 - NCT07073287RecruitingPhase 2
Cerebellar-spinal brain stimulation for chronic stroke mobility

João Pessoa, ParaíbaAges 18–75 - NCT05846802Recruiting
Gastroparesis and stomach symptoms registry for adults
This registry is for adults with long-lasting stomach emptying problems or related symptoms, helping researchers better understand patterns of nausea, pain, and fullness. You may be able to join if you meet specific symptom and test results, and can complete a stomach-emptying scan.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–85 - NCT06960772Recruiting
Flow ball phonation for voice professionals
This trial tests whether a device called a flow ball can help professional voice users with functional voice disorders improve their voice or prevent voice disorders. You blow into the ball to make it float while making sounds, which may strengthen your voice.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for functional neurological disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 152 recruiting functional neurological disorder 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 neurological disorder 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 neurological disorder 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.
