Recruiting studies
- NCT07728513Recruiting
AI medical diagnosis test for non-healthcare people
This trial studies if people without medical training can help improve AI tools for diagnosing and prioritizing patients. You will test an AI system and give feedback.

Brain stimulation to improve language in Down syndrome
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome improve their language skills. It aims to see if this safe method can boost word-finding and speaking ability.
RomeAges 12–21 - NCT07719387Enrolling by invitation
Vagus nerve stimulation to boost thinking and learning after stroke
This study tests if vagus nerve stimulation, delivered through an implanted device, can help improve thinking and learning in people who have had a stroke. You would use the device at home for six weeks.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT07234539Enrolling by invitation
AI tool for thyroid cancer management
This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) helper that assists doctors in managing thyroid cancer. It aims to see if the tool can improve care for patients like you.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT03223090Recruiting
Motor language learning study for French speakers
This study tests how people learn language using brain-and-movement training (including tasks during brain scans and non-drug brain stimulation for some parts). It may help researchers understand learning and how the brain adapts during new language practice.
BronAges 20–40 - NCT03268824Recruiting
Brain imaging study in drug-resistant focal epilepsy
This study uses MRI brain scans to see how “epileptic discharges” may affect brain connections in the developing brain. It also scans comparison participants without drug-resistant focal epilepsy to help researchers understand what is different.
ParisAges 1.5 years–16 years - NCT03718923Recruiting
Study for people with FOXP1 gene changes
This study looks at how people with FOXP1-related neurodevelopmental conditions work and how they’re affected, using genetic, medical, and thinking/learning tests. It may help researchers better understand the condition and improve future care.
New York, New YorkAges 2 years+ - NCT03843463RecruitingPhase 2
Escitalopram plus language therapy after left stroke
This trial tests whether the antidepressant medicine escitalopram, along with language therapy, can improve language skills after a recent stroke that affected the left side of the brain. It may help some people with stroke-related aphasia (language difficulty) regain words and communication.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT03887481Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for a language-loss dementia subtype
This trial tests whether a painless form of brain stimulation can improve language and thinking skills in people with the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (a dementia that affects language). You may receive brain stimulation along with repeated clinic visits to track changes over time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 50–80 - NCT05989893Recruiting
Mapping human thinking during brain surgery
This study maps how thinking works in people with epilepsy or brain lesions near important brain areas. It involves testing during brain surgery procedures to help researchers understand healthy brain function.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT04117997Recruiting
Testing an Italian stroke assessment for new patients
This trial checks whether a specific Italian-language test for arm/leg movement after stroke works well in people having their first stroke. If you recently had a stroke, the study may help doctors use this test more reliably to track recovery.
FlorenceAges 18–90 - NCT04142866Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus language practice for chronic aphasia
This study tests whether mild brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with language exercises can improve communication after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to help compare brain and language task results.
New York, New YorkAges 21–80 - NCT04457622Recruiting
Study brain rhythms and language in healthy adults
This study looks at how your brain responds to language and how brain “rhythms” work. It’s likely to involve recording brain signals while you complete language-related tasks, and you must be able to safely follow all session rules.
BronAges 18–40 - NCT05268341Recruiting
MRI study of language therapy changes in children
This study uses MRI pictures to see how a language-focused treatment may change the brain in children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). It’s for children who have typical speech, social skills, and hearing, but specifically struggle with expressive grammar.
Cincinati, OhioAges 4 years–5.9 years - NCT05303649Recruiting
Theta burst brain stimulation for language problems after stroke
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation guided by a brain scan (MRI) can improve speech and language (“aphasia”) after a stroke. It may help people who have trouble producing speech but can still understand others’ words.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–75 - NCT05529264Recruiting
EEG study in adults with epilepsy and brain recordings
This study uses brain recordings to better understand epilepsy signals. It may help people who need EEG monitoring for clinical care, and it may also use healthy adults as comparison participants.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05591066Recruiting
Family I-PASS listening survey to improve care teamwork
This study gathers feedback from patients and families, as well as hospital staff, to improve communication and teamwork in pediatric inpatient units. It focuses on helping care work for diverse languages and family needs.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT05670496Recruiting
NIDCD medical data and sample collection for communication disorders
This study collects medical information and specimens to support research on problems with hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language. It may help you (or your child) get additional evaluation and follow-up through NIDCD, especially if your clinician thinks it could be useful.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - NCT05695131Recruiting
Testing virtual reality speech therapy for adults
This study checks whether a virtual reality (VR) version of a speech-language therapy program is practical and works the way it should. You might benefit by getting speech therapy in a new, technology-based format, and helping researchers confirm it is safe and feasible.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05699928Recruiting
Testing how well pediatricians spot autism in young children
This study compares an early autism opinion made by a community general pediatrician with a more detailed team assessment. It may help improve how families get autism evaluations sooner and more accurately.
Toronto, OntarioAges birth–5.3 years - NCT05707923Recruiting
Simplified language study for comprehension in autistic toddlers
This study looks at whether using simpler language helps young children with autism understand and learn. It involves children ages 1 to 4 who mainly hear and respond to English.
East Lansing, MichiganAges 1–4 - NCT05730023Recruiting
Testing a new approach for primary progressive aphasia diagnosis
This study focuses on people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), a condition that affects language over time. It tests a “multimodal” set of assessments and treatment planning, which may help your care team diagnose and support you more accurately.
Brescia, BSAges 40 years+ - NCT05750095Recruiting
Parenting support program for children with autism
This trial tests parenting programs designed for parents of young children with autism (ages 2–6). It may help you learn practical ways to support your child and your family day to day.

This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve sentence understanding in people with Parkinson’s disease–related mild cognitive impairment or mild cognitive impairment from Lewy body disease. It also compares results with healthy volunteers who do not have Lewy body or other memory/brain disorders.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for language?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 191 recruiting language 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 language 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 language 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.
