Padova, PadovaAges 16 years+ - NCT06668077Recruiting
Impulse control training and brain stimulation for weight loss
This study tests whether a computer-based training to improve impulse control, combined with a gentle brain stimulation technique (called iTBS), can help people with excess weight. It also looks at how these treatments affect the brain using MRI scans.
GranadaAges 18–60 - NCT06649994Recruiting
Brain stimulation and training to reduce binge eating
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (a safe, non-invasive technique called TMS) and a computer-based training program can help reduce binge eating episodes. Researchers will also look at changes in brain activity using MRI scans.
GranadaAges 18–60 - NCT06248268Recruiting
Thinking patterns in people with suicidal thoughts or attempts
This study looks at thinking patterns in people who have had suicidal thoughts or attempts, compared to those with other psychiatric disorders and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand how the brain works in these different groups.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06263712Recruiting
Can brief therapy after a suicide attempt help?
This study tests whether a short therapy program (ASSIP) can help reduce suicide risk by looking at how people think and feel after a suicide attempt. It may be a good fit if you've had a past attempt and are open to a brief, focused therapy.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07592728Recruiting
Brief training to help teens eat healthier
This trial tests a smartphone-based training program designed to help teens with overweight or obesity make better food choices. It may be a good fit if you're looking to improve your diet and are not currently in treatment for an eating disorder or weight loss.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 14–17 - NCT07763977Enrolling by invitation
Vitamin D and iron study for obsessive-compulsive disorder
This study tests whether vitamin D and iron levels affect brain function linked to self-control in people with OCD. It may help find new ways to improve treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 14–45 - NCT03669315RecruitingPhase 3
Theta burst brain stimulation for gambling disorder
This Phase 3 trial tests whether theta burst stimulation (a type of non-invasive brain treatment) can improve control over gambling urges and behaviors. It is meant for adults with a confirmed diagnosis of gambling disorder and no major complicating mental health or medical issues.
FlorenceAges 18–65 - NCT04735458Recruiting
Brain network study for Parkinson’s or essential tremor
This study looks at how “inhibitory control” brain networks work in people with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor. If you are eligible for surgery and can do the study tasks, your results may help researchers better understand movement disorders and guide future treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05143931Recruiting
Avoid and resist habits to manage weight
This study looks at strategies to help people manage their weight by changing how they respond to food-related cues and habits. It tests whether these approaches can be used over time with regular, brief check-ins.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 14 years+ - NCT06597591Recruiting
Virtual reality training to improve self-control in memory loss patients
This study tests whether a virtual reality training game can help improve your ability to stop yourself or control impulses, which can be affected in early memory problems. You will use a VR headset to practice these skills in a safe, fun environment.
NiceAges 60 years+ - NCT06916221Recruiting
Digital brain training in aging
This study tests whether a digital intervention can help older adults (60+) maintain or improve cognitive function. It is designed for healthy adults or those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and people who do not regularly play a musical instrument or have extensive music training.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 60–85 - NCT06918704Recruiting

MannheimAges 18–65 - NCT07022522Recruiting
Brain stimulation frequencies for impulse control in Parkinson's
This study tests whether stimulating specific parts of the brain's subthalamic nucleus at different frequencies can improve control over unwanted movements or impulses in people with Parkinson's disease. If you are planning to have DBS surgery, this trial may help find a better way to use the device.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–80 - NCT07219810Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for teens with ADHD
This trial tests if a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (accelerated iTBS) can improve working memory or impulse control in adolescents with ADHD. It involves MRI scans and TMS sessions to see which thinking skill benefits most.
East Providence, Rhode IslandAges 12–18 - NCT07319117Recruiting
Can a nutritional drink help your brain under stress?

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for inhibitory control?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting inhibitory control 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 inhibitory control 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 inhibitory control 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.
