Brain stimulation to help thinking after concussion
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that some people have after a mild concussion. tDCS uses a small electrical current from scalp electrodes to gently activate parts of the brain.

MRI scan for heart failure with normal pumping strength
This study uses a special MRI scan with a natural contrast agent (manganese) to look at how well the heart muscle works in people with heart failure who still have normal pumping strength. The goal is to learn more about why this type of heart failure happens.
LeicesterAges 18 years+ - NCT06815978Recruiting
Diagnosing obesity-related muscle loss
This study tests a new tool to diagnose muscle loss in people with obesity. It may help doctors better identify and treat this condition.
Rome, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06819475Recruiting
Muscle health study for childhood leukemia survivors
This study uses imaging to look at how well the mitochondria (the tiny power plants inside your muscle cells) are working. It compares survivors of childhood leukemia who have low muscle mass to healthy volunteers, to understand muscle health and find ways to help.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07249281Recruiting
New MRI scan for better prostate cancer detection
This study tests a new type of MRI scan (called TDDMRI) that looks at tiny details in prostate tissue to better detect cancer. If you are already getting a prostate MRI, this extra scan may help doctors find cancer more accurately.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07635030Enrolling by invitation
Brain Chemistry Study in Young People with Friedreich's Ataxia
This study looks at two brain chemicals (GABA and glutathione) in children and teens aged 8–15 with Friedreich's ataxia, a rare genetic condition affecting movement and coordination. The research aims to understand how these chemicals change in the brain and may help guide future treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 8–16 - NCT06025500Recruiting
Muscle function before and after lung valve treatment
This study looks at how well your leg muscles work before and after getting special valves placed in your lungs. It uses an exercise bike test and an MRI scan to measure muscle changes, and the results may help people with COPD breathe better.
GroningenAges Any age - NCT05865652Recruiting
7T brain scan study for teens at risk of psychosis
This trial tests how the brain’s cell membranes and energy use look in teens who are at high risk of developing psychosis. It compares them with healthy teens to better understand early brain changes that might help future care.
PoitiersAges 15–25 - NCT05586243Recruiting
MRI lab measurements in adults with type 3 Gaucher disease
This study looks at MRI-based lab measurements (similar to a special type of scan) to find markers that reflect health in people with type 3 Gaucher disease. It may help researchers track the disease over time and improve future treatments.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT07707609Recruiting
Pain and brain changes in chronic pancreatitis
This study looks at how chronic pancreatitis pain affects the nervous system and mental health. It aims to understand pain better and may help develop new ways to manage it.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–60 - NCT04508088Recruiting
Study of bones and bone marrow in new Crohn’s
This study looks at how Crohn’s disease affects bones and bone marrow soon after diagnosis. It may help researchers understand disease effects and improve future care, either by comparing you to healthy controls or by tracking changes over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 13–20 - NCT05555693Recruiting
Brain chemistry study after surgery in older adults
This study looks at how brain “metabolomics” (small chemical signals in the brain/body) relate to thinking or mood problems that can happen after surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors understand who is more likely to have these side effects after an operation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT05692024RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Coffee and gut bacteria study after colon or rectal cancer
This early-phase study tests whether a coffee-related approach can change gut bacteria and blood “metabolites” after treatment for stage I–III colon or rectal cancer. The goal is to learn if these changes could help improve health after standard cancer treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05939362Recruiting
7T MRI imaging study to predict Alzheimer’s progression
This study uses very high-strength MRI scans (7T) to look for brain imaging patterns that may predict how Alzheimer’s disease will progress. It may help doctors spot which changes are linked to faster or slower decline.
PoitiersAges 60–90 - NCT06450080Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for magnetic resonance spectroscopy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 32 recruiting magnetic resonance spectroscopy 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 magnetic resonance spectroscopy 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 magnetic resonance spectroscopy 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.
