Brain stimulation for methamphetamine cravings
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help reduce cravings for methamphetamine in people who have stopped using it for at least 4 weeks. If you are trying to stay off methamphetamine and struggling with cravings, this treatment might help.

Training programs to better support kids with autism
This study tests an organized training plan meant to help mental health programs and schools support children with autism. It involves leaders, therapists/providers, and parents who complete brief surveys and assessments to see what improves care and services.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03324360RecruitingPhase 1
MRI scan test in people with brain metastases after SRS
This early-phase study tests a special MRI scan using a safe tracer to see how brain metastases and brain metabolism change after SRS (a focused radiation treatment). It may help researchers find better ways to monitor treatment response in the brain.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03452202Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve speech after stroke
This trial studies whether gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve speech after a stroke. It focuses on people with stroke-related apraxia of speech while carefully checking hearing, brain function, and safety with devices or metal.

Pain biomarker study for headache or back nerve pain
This study looks at measurable “pain signals” (biomarkers) in people with certain headache disorders or lumbar nerve pain, and compares them with healthy people. It may help researchers better understand what drives pain and how it can be detected.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03439228Recruiting
Testing brace use after low back fusion surgery
This pilot study looks at whether wearing a brace helps after single-level low back fusion surgery. You may be offered screening if you’re healing from a specific type of fusion and don’t have certain risk factors.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT02777879Recruiting
Study gut-like lung bacteria and inflammation in early COPD
This study looks at the lung’s tiny bacteria (microbiome) and inflammation in people with early COPD who have a smoking history. It compares them with smokers who have normal breathing tests, to better understand what may drive COPD early on.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT03253705Recruiting
Donate small blood samples to study heart and inflammation health
This study collects small blood samples (and sometimes samples during treatment) to help researchers understand diseases involving the heart, inflammation, and blood vessel function. It may help improve future tests and treatments by giving scientists usable human data.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT03065335RecruitingPhase 1
Ketamine plus brain imaging to study response in depression
This early-stage study tests how ketamine given once and then repeatedly may change brain signals and related biomarkers in people with major depression. If you’re eligible, the team will use brain imaging and assessments to see who responds and why.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT03258580Recruiting
Studying how culture and mind affect how we feel pain
This study looks at how beliefs, mood, and social factors affect how people express and judge pain. It mainly uses pain/heat testing and—if chosen—brain scans to understand why pain reports can differ between people.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–60 - NCT03254667Enrolling by invitation
Track outcomes in adults with moderate-to-severe psoriasis
This study keeps track of how people with moderate-to-severe psoriasis do over time while using Siliq or other approved treatments. It may help researchers understand how treatments compare in real life.
Bridgewater, New JerseyAges 18–99 - NCT03184545RecruitingPhase 3
Electrical stimulation vs physical therapy for knee pain
This trial compares an electrical stimulation treatment to standard physical therapy for people with long-lasting pain in the front of the knee. It aims to see which approach better improves symptoms and function for patellofemoral pain syndrome.
New York, New YorkAges 18–40 - NCT03213002RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAPTEM pills after brain radiation for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This trial studies whether taking two chemotherapy pills (capecitabine and temozolomide) after the initial 6-week radiation-and-chemo phase can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It aims to test safety and early effectiveness right before the usual maintenance temozolomide phase.
New York, New YorkAges 18–74 - NCT03151473Recruiting
Study of adults with fatty liver and NASH over time
This is a long-term study that follows adults who are being managed for fatty liver (NAFL) or NASH to learn how these conditions change over time. It may help researchers better understand what to expect and how care decisions could be improved.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT03153670Recruiting
Brain scan study for people with deep brain stimulators
This study uses a 3‑tesla MRI (a type of detailed brain scan) in people who have deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes. The goal is to improve understanding of how the brain works; the scan is not meant to provide direct treatment benefit.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–85 - NCT03140865Recruiting
Alzheimer’s disease research core for brain and memory testing
This study group collects detailed information from people with normal memory, mild cognitive impairment, or mild Alzheimer’s disease to support Alzheimer’s research. You may need multiple visits, brain scans, and sometimes a spinal fluid sample, with strict health and medication requirements to keep results clear.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 55 years+ - NCT03035097Recruiting
Study of lung illness for people who served in Southwest Asia
This study is building a research database and stored samples from people who served in the Southwest Asia wars. It may help researchers learn what causes lung problems in veterans and how to better diagnose or treat them.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT03190538Recruiting
Study of fatty liver inflammation in Chinese children
This trial looks at nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (fatty liver with inflammation) in children. It is meant to test whether a new approach can help improve this liver problem without being caused by alcohol or other known liver diseases.
BeijingAges 1–18 - NCT03293758Recruiting
Study of food and gut bacteria changes over time
This study looks at how your diet affects the mix of gut bacteria over time. It may help researchers understand links between food, microbiome (gut bacteria), and health outcomes.

Tests how a brain imaging tracer spreads in Alzheimer’s risk
This trial uses a radioactive imaging tracer to see how it moves and settles in the brain in people with risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease. It may help researchers understand which people show tracer patterns linked to Alzheimer’s changes.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 55 years+ - NCT03250078Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer screening for people at high genetic risk
This study offers pancreatic cancer screening for people with strong family history or certain inherited gene changes. It may help find pancreatic cancer earlier, when treatment may be more effective.
Norwalk, ConnecticutAges 50–90 - NCT03233399Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for movement intention and symptoms
This trial tests how a form of brain stimulation affects how people plan or carry out movement, and how symptoms show up on tasks. It may help researchers understand why symptoms happen and whether brain stimulation can change movement intention or related brain signals.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for health?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5,397 recruiting health 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 health 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 health 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.
