Recruiting studies
- NCT06443580Recruiting
A mind-body program for pulmonary hypertension
This trial tests a program that helps you notice and manage body signals (like breathlessness) to improve how you feel day-to-day. It is designed for people with any type of pulmonary hypertension.
Glasgow, ClydebankAges 18 years+ - NCT07719231Recruiting
Understanding body signals during COPD flare-ups
This study explores how people with COPD perceive body signals during a sudden worsening of symptoms (exacerbation) that requires a hospital stay. It aims to improve symptom management and patient care.
IstanbulAges 40–75 - NCT06786572Recruiting
Mindfulness training for veterans with distress or physical symptoms
This trial tests a mindfulness program that helps you better understand body signals (interoception). It aims to reduce emotional or physical distress in veterans who struggle with these issues.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06332963Recruiting
Trial on body image and internal body signals in anorexia
This study explores how the brain senses internal body signals linked to body image in anorexia. It may help develop better treatments by understanding these connections.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 13–50 - NCT05763849Recruiting
Therapy exposure for teens with low weight eating issues
This trial tests a structured therapy approach called “interoceptive exposure” for teens who have an eating disorder with low weight. It may help some teens reduce fear or avoidance around body sensations and improve eating, but you must meet several health and safety criteria.
New York, New YorkAges 12–18 - NCT07772167Recruiting
Understanding stomach and gut symptoms in functional dyspepsia
This study uses brain scans (MRIs) and a test meal to understand how the brain and stomach communicate in people with functional dyspepsia (ongoing pain or fullness). This could help improve treatments by identifying how people with this condition feel and process stomach sensations differently.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT07669246Recruiting
How stroke affects body awareness
This study looks at how a stroke changes your ability to feel and understand signals from your own body, like hunger or heartbeat. Researchers want to learn more about this so they can help with recovery.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07594275Recruiting
How body awareness changes after weight-loss surgery
This study looks at how people perceive their bodies and eating habits before and after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. Researchers want to understand how surgery affects the way you sense hunger, fullness, and your relationship with food.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT07416370Enrolling by invitation
Brain training study for healthy adults
This trial tests two types of brain training techniques to see how they affect your awareness of body signals. It may help you learn to control a specific brain area through mental exercises.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–30 - NCT07325110Recruiting

BordeauxAges 18–70 - NCT06855251Recruiting
Sensing inner body states in obesity
This trial explores how people with obesity sense signals from their own body (like heartbeat or fullness). Understanding this connection could help develop better treatments.
Piancavallo, VCOAges 18–55 - NCT06792760Enrolling by invitation
Body awareness training for movement disorders
This trial tests if adding body awareness (interoceptive) training to standard physical therapy helps people with functional movement disorders. It may improve how you sense and control your body.
Prague, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT06795451RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Spinal stimulation for depression: a clinical trial
This study tests if a non-invasive spinal stimulation device can improve depression symptoms. It is for people currently taking an antidepressant for at least 8 weeks but still experiencing depression.
Mason, OhioAges 18–60 - NCT06631729Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for interoception?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 18 recruiting interoception 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 interoception 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 interoception 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.
