Methotrexate-loaded vesicles injected into spine fluid for lung cancer spread to brain membranes
This study tests a new way to deliver a cancer drug directly into the fluid around your brain and spinal cord to treat lung cancer that has spread to the membranes covering the brain. It may help patients whose cancer hasn't responded to standard treatments.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07409220Recruiting
Using video to help parents prepare for child's lumbar puncture
This study tests if showing parents a short video before their child's lumbar puncture helps them feel calmer and more informed. The goal is to make the experience less stressful for both parents and children.
Muscat, Muḩāfaz̧at MasqaţAges 12 hours–13 years - NCT06848166RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Middle meningeal artery embolization for resistant chronic migraine
This study tests a procedure called 'middle meningeal artery embolization' using a special glue-like material (SQUID) to treat chronic migraine that hasn't responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if blocking blood flow to the membrane around the brain can reduce migraine attacks.
Bishkek, BishkekAges 35–59 - NCT07129603Recruiting
Detecting Brain Complications After a Non-Traumatic Bleed
This study looks for clues in your blood or spinal fluid that might predict brain spasms, delayed damage, or infections after a brain bleed. If you already need a drain to remove fluid, you could be a candidate.
DebrecenAges 18 years+ - NCT02979951Recruiting
IV fosfomycin for serious bacterial infections
This trial studies whether IV (through a vein) fosfomycin can treat severe bacterial infections in adults. It may help people whose infection is covered by the standard fosfomycin use and who need hospital-level care.
Hall in TirolAges 18 years+ - NCT03945448RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Single-dose antifungal for people with HIV and positive cryptococcal blood test
This study tests whether a one-time antifungal treatment can help people with HIV who have a positive cryptococcal antigen blood test but no symptoms. It may lower the chance that this infection becomes a serious illness affecting the brain.
KampalaAges 15 years+ - NCT05327933Recruiting
Preventing chronic bleeding from the brain’s covering after surgery
This trial looks at whether a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization can help stop chronic subdural hematoma (slow bleeding/collection under the brain covering) from coming back after your first surgery. It studies an added endovascular treatment right after your operation to reduce recurrence.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05393492Recruiting
Emotion and behavior skills after a brain injury
This study tests a structured program to help people after a brain injury manage emotions and challenging behaviors, and to reduce distress for them and their families. If you (or your family member) can participate safely and understand the activities in French, you may be invited to join a group and assessments.
Illkirch-GraffenstadenAges 18 years+ - NCT06042140Recruiting
Umbilical cord patch for spina bifida repair before birth
This study tests whether a patch made from donated umbilical cord can help repair spina bifida in the womb using a minimally invasive fetoscopic approach. If successful, it may reduce the need for more invasive open fetal surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06146010Recruiting
German leptomeningeal disease registry study
This study collects information from people with leptomeningeal disease, a condition where cancer spreads to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. By joining, you help researchers learn more about this disease and how it affects people.
BonnAges 18 years+ - NCT06163547Recruiting
Brain artery treatment for chronic subdural hematoma
This study tests a new way to treat chronic subdural hematomas (a type of bleeding on the brain) by using a very thin tube to seal off a small artery inside the head. This may help the blood clot shrink without needing a traditional surgery.
GenevaAges 18–100 - NCT06181994Recruiting
Middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma
This trial looks at how well a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization works for people with chronic subdural hematoma (a collection of old blood on the brain's surface). It uses specific materials to block the blood supply to the hematoma, which may help the body reabsorb it without surgery.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06292585Recruiting
Blocking the artery to treat epidural hematoma
This trial tests a new way to treat a blood clot outside the brain (epidural hematoma) after a head injury. Instead of surgery, doctors use a thin tube to block the artery feeding the clot, which may help the body absorb the clot more safely.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06347796Recruiting
Embolization vs surgery for chronic subdural hematoma
This trial compares a newer, less invasive treatment (embolization) with traditional surgery to treat chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain). It aims to see which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 40–90 - NCT06431685RecruitingPhase 1
Brain radiation, immunotherapy, and chemo for lung cancer spread
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation to the whole brain, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy given through a lumbar puncture. It is for people with lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and has not responded to standard treatments.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06482463Recruiting
D-lactate test for meningitis in patients with a brain drain
This study checks if a substance called D-lactate in the fluid around your brain can help diagnose meningitis that develops in the hospital after a brain drain (ventriculostomy). It aims to improve diagnosis.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06510751Recruiting
CGRP and substance P in meningitis ICU patients
This study measures two natural chemicals (CGRP and substance P) in adult ICU patients with suspected meningitis. It aims to see if their levels help diagnose or understand meningitis better.
AntalyaAges 18 years+ - NCT06584864Recruiting
Ultrasound for better lumbar puncture in children
This study tests whether using a bedside ultrasound (a quick, painless scan) helps doctors perform a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) more easily and safely in children. It may help children who need this procedure.
WarsawAges Up to 18 years - NCT06718972Recruiting
Lung cancer with brain lining spread: real-world treatment study
This study looks at how people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord are treated in real-world clinics in China. If you have received treatment for this spread since 2018, you may be able to help doctors learn what works best.

Testing embolization for chronic migraines
This study tests a procedure called MMA embolization (blocking a small artery in the head) to see if it can reduce migraine attacks in people with chronic, hard-to-treat migraines.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for meningitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 63 recruiting meningitis 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 meningitis 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 meningitis 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.
