Recruiting studies
- NCT05901233Enrolling by invitation
Remote brain stimulation and speech therapy for primary progressive aphasia
This study tests whether combining speech-language treatment with remotely supervised brain stimulation (a mild current to the scalp) can improve communication in people with primary progressive aphasia. You and a study partner would also join online training and regular video check-ins.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05847985Recruiting
Noninvasive brain stimulation for thinking and language issues
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.
BrnoAges 60–80 - NCT05853861Recruiting
Early language and attention support for infants at risk
This study looks at whether helping infants who are younger siblings of autistic children can improve early attention and language skills. It may help families start support early, when the brain is rapidly developing.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months–8 months - NCT05832177Recruiting
Spanish and English outreach training and feedback program
This program tests outreach “training” activities (like online training, podcasts, and stakeholder sessions) and asks participants to complete modules and evaluations. It may help improve cancer education and community engagement efforts.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 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.
BergenAges 2–6 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT05214092Enrolling by invitation
Study brain changes after surgery in teens and young adults
This study looks at how a brain area involved in hearing and language contributes to recovery after medically needed surgery. It may help doctors better understand post-op outcomes using language and hearing-related brain measurements.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 13–25 - NCT05014841Enrolling by invitation
Brain electrode study of speech across different languages
This study uses electrodes placed on the brain during surgery to understand how speech is represented in different languages. It may help doctors better map language areas and improve surgical planning for people having brain surgery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT04497220Recruiting
First-time epidural in pregnancy: poke versus placebo
This trial tests whether a “poke” (an added procedure or treatment) works better than a placebo to help with pain control for people getting an epidural for the first time during pregnancy. It’s mainly looking at whether the added approach is helpful and safe for first-time epidural patients.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT03855618Enrolling by invitation
Italian test to measure movement after stroke rehab
This study translates and checks an Italian version of a well-known movement test used after stroke rehabilitation. It aims to confirm the test works reliably and quickly for people in rehab, so care teams can track progress more accurately.
Florence, firenzeAges 18–90 - 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 - 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 - NCT00537004Recruiting
Study of language in primary progressive aphasia
This study looks at how language changes in people with primary progressive aphasia. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how it affects speech and communication over time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for language?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 189 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.
