Recruiting studies
- NCT07580183Recruiting
Memory and Brain Function in Epilepsy Surgery
This study examines how the brain recognizes spatial scenes (like rooms or landscapes) in people with epilepsy who may have surgery. Researchers want to understand memory patterns before and after surgery to help predict outcomes.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT07767396Recruiting
Eye movement technique for reducing intrusive trauma memories
This study tests whether a specific eye movement technique, done at home on a computer, can help reduce distressing, intrusive memories after trauma. If you've been having frequent, unwanted trauma memories, this could help you gain better control over them.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–50 - NCT07378332Enrolling by invitation
Memory study using brain stimulation
This trial uses brain stimulation to study how memory works. It may help people undergoing epilepsy monitoring learn more about their memory.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06883981Recruiting
Studying memory formation with everyday recordings
This study uses recordings of your everyday life to understand how people form personal memories. It may help if you have healthy memory or just mild memory changes.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT07860281Recruiting
Brain scans to study memory and perception
This study uses brain imaging (fMRI) to learn how memory and perception work in healthy people. Participating involves brain scans while you perform simple tasks, which may help scientists understand how the brain processes information.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–35 - NCT07862140Recruiting
Everyday memory study for healthy adults
This study looks at how people remember everyday events, like what they did yesterday. You'll do memory tasks, and the results may help improve understanding of memory in daily life.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–35 - NCT07658157Recruiting
Does tracking trauma memories help PTSD?
This trial tests whether answering daily questions about your intrusive trauma memories through a phone app can reduce PTSD symptoms. It could help you understand and cope with unwanted memories.
Tel AvivAges 18–70 - NCT06242704Recruiting
Brain training to improve memory and decisions in teens
This study tests if computer-based brain training exercises can help 11-15 year olds improve their memory and decision-making skills. It involves internet sessions over 5-8 weeks.
Flint, MichiganAges 11 years+ - NCT07008989Recruiting
Phone app to improve memory in Down syndrome
This study tests a smartphone app called HippoCamera to see if it can help teenagers and young adults with Down syndrome remember everyday events better. You would use the app at home with some help from a parent or guardian.
Chestnut Hill, MassachusettsAges 15–35 - NCT06967935Recruiting
Sleep and memory study in epilepsy
This study looks at how sleep and memory work together in people with epilepsy. You will stay in the hospital for at least 4 days with a video EEG to record your brain activity while you sleep and complete memory tasks.
BronAges 18–65 - NCT06951919Recruiting
HOBSCOTCH study for memory help in MS
This trial tests a program called HOBSCOTCH to help people with MS who have memory or thinking problems. It also includes a caregiver who supports them.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 20–75 - NCT06930846Recruiting
Brain cancer cognitive training study
This study tests a home-based program called HOBSCOTCH-CA to help with memory and thinking problems after brain cancer treatment. The program uses phone and internet sessions to teach self-management skills.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06656637Enrolling by invitation
Do memory drills help veterans remember things?
This study tests if doing short memory drills can help veterans with brain injuries or PTSD improve their ability to remember to do tasks. You'll practice on a tablet or computer and see if your memory gets better.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06584357Recruiting
Digital and blood markers linked to brain scans in older adults
This study is looking for older adults (60–90) who are either cognitively normal, have mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or have mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's dementia. It aims to see how digital tests and blood-based markers relate to brain scans (amyloid and tau PET). You will need a study partner, undergo MRI and PET scans, and give blood samples.
Atlantis, FloridaAges 60–90 - NCT06564779Recruiting
New memory test for mild memory problems
This study is developing a new memory test for people with mild memory problems. It aims to better detect early changes in memory that might lead to Alzheimer's disease.
ToursAges 50 years+ - NCT05986604Recruiting
Improving Sleep and Daily Rhythms for Older Adults
This study tests a treatment that helps improve sleep and daily rhythms, which may also help with memory and moving around. It's for people aged 50+, with low income, who have trouble with mobility and sleep.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT05806697Recruiting
Study of brain scan clues in people worried about memory
This extension study looks for predictors—measurable clues—linked to memory changes in older adults who feel their memory is worsening. You may be asked to have an amyloid PET scan, which can help researchers understand what might be driving memory concerns.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 70–95 - NCT05594017RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Test medicine to change brain rhythms and study memory
This early research study tests whether a medicine can change the brain’s electrical “rhythms” while people do memory-related tasks. It may help researchers understand how brain timing affects memory in people who are already being evaluated with specialized brain electrode monitoring.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT05396248Recruiting
Memory training study for older adults with mild memory problems
This trial tests an approach to improve learning and memory in people age 60+ with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (a specific type of early memory problem). It may help by supporting memory and learning skills, but it also has medication and health-history requirements.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT04788628Enrolling by invitation
Sound stimulation study for sleep and memory in epilepsy
This trial studies whether carefully timed sound (“auditory stimulation”) can change sleep patterns and memory in people with epilepsy. It may help researchers understand how to improve thinking and memory by adjusting how the brain sleeps.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12–65 - NCT03370224Enrolling by invitation
Story memory training for older adults
This study tests a memory-skills training approach (the Modified Story Memory Technique) to help older adults with aging-related memory changes. You may be asked to do memory exercises, and some people may also complete an optional brain MRI scan.
East Hanover, New JerseyAges 65 years+ - NCT07876908Recruiting
Magnetic brain therapy for older adults with hard-to-treat depression
This trial tests a new intensive magnetic brain treatment (SAINT) for older adults whose depression has not improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this treatment can also help with memory concerns, which are common in this group.
Costa Mesa, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT04189965Recruiting
Study of long-term memory of pain in healthy adults
This study looks at how people remember pain over time. It enrolls healthy adults so researchers can better understand the long-term effects of painful experiences.
BronAges 18–50 - NCT04985344RecruitingPhase 3
Propranolol to treat PTSD symptoms in children using memory reactivation
This trial studies whether propranolol (a heart-related medicine) can help children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a special memory-activation session. The goal is to reduce PTSD symptoms compared with the comparison condition.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for memory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 943 recruiting memory 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 memory 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 memory 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.
