Testing whether brain stimulation improves memory in epilepsy
This trial looks at ways to improve memory by targeting specific deep brain areas in people with epilepsy. You may be eligible if you are already scheduled for long-term video monitoring with implanted depth electrodes in the memory-related regions (amygdala, hippocampus, and nearby areas).
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–75 - NCT05625425Recruiting

Memory check study for older adults with and without dementia

LensAges 70 years+ - NCT05710549Recruiting
Brain study of autobiographical memory using brain stimulation
This study looks at how the brain supports remembering your own past experiences. It tests brain mechanisms using brain scanning (MRI) and noninvasive brain stimulation to see how these memory processes work.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18–85 - NCT05853627RecruitingPhase 4
Propranolol versus standard therapy for trauma imagery reactions
This study tests whether propranolol (a beta-blocker) changed alongside a standard approach can reduce how strongly your body reacts during traumatic imagery. It’s meant for adults who have had a traumatic event and may help lessen fear and stress responses tied to those memories.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT05877196Recruiting
Adaptive walking and fitness program for mild memory decline
This study tests an “adaptive” exercise plan that adjusts over time to help improve aerobic fitness and your body’s fitness response in people with mild memory problems or early Alzheimer’s. It may help you safely build the kind of fitness that supports brain health, while researchers monitor changes with fitness testing and blood work.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 65 years+ - NCT05991817Recruiting
Sevoflurane Anesthesia and Memory After Gallbladder Surgery
This study is testing how a common type of anesthesia (sevoflurane) affects memory after gallbladder surgery. If you are having this surgery and are between 30 and 50, you may be able to help doctors learn more about memory and anesthesia.
Santiago, RMAges 30–50 - NCT05999929Recruiting
Memory support system feasibility trial
This study tests a memory support system for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their care partners. It aims to see if the program is practical and helpful for managing memory challenges.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 50 years+ - NCT06053190Recruiting
Clear speech and memory in older adults
This study is testing whether listening to clear speech (slow, precise) helps older adults understand and remember sentences better. If you're between 60 and 90, right-handed, and a native English speaker, this trial may help you or your loved one learn more about how to improve communication as you age.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 60–90 - NCT06129903Recruiting
Early psychiatric help for people with sarcoma
This study tests if getting a psychiatric consultation soon after a sarcoma diagnosis can improve mental health and quality of life. If you have a new sarcoma and need surgery at MSK, you may be able to join.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06158828RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Memory NK cells after transplant for high-risk AML
This trial tests whether adding special 'memory-like' natural killer (NK) cells to a stem cell transplant from a half-matched family donor can help treat high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to make the transplant more effective against the leukemia.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06241287Recruiting
Better living for carers of non-memory-led dementia
This study tests a program to help unpaid carers of people with specific types of dementia that don't start with memory loss (such as PPA, PCA, or bvFTD). It aims to improve the carer's well-being and daily life.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06275035RecruitingPhase 3
Memantine for memory protection during brain radiation
This trial tests whether a medicine called memantine can help protect memory and thinking skills in people getting radiation to the brain and spine. If you qualify, you would receive memantine or a placebo during your treatment.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 5–39 - NCT06321484RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy for recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CIML NK cells) given directly into the abdomen for women with ovarian cancer that has come back and is now resistant to standard platinum chemotherapy. The goal is to see if these specially trained cells can fight the cancer safely.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT06335784Recruiting
Mental imagery and memory reactivation for insomnia
This study tests whether combining mental imagery with a technique called targeted memory reactivation can improve sleep in people with insomnia. It's a non-drug approach that may help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for memory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 969 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.
