Recruiting studies
- NCT01266577Recruiting
MRI study measuring brain and muscle chemical levels
This study uses MRI techniques to measure natural chemical “metabolites” in the brain and muscle. You may be able to join if you’re generally healthy and can safely complete a long MRI scan.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT01087281Recruiting
Testing how brain “top-down” attention helps visual processing
This study looks at how signals from the brain’s thinking/attention systems affect how we process what we see. It may help researchers understand brain attention after stroke or other focal brain injuries, and compare with healthy volunteers.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01392885Recruiting
Brain health and exercise program for schizophrenia
This trial studies how a structured exercise program may affect brain health in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It may help researchers understand whether exercise can support brain function and overall health in this condition.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19–45 - NCT01403402Recruiting
Study of congenital muscle disease patients and their families
This trial collects health information from patients with certain inherited (genetic) muscle diseases and from their families. It may help researchers better understand the disease and improve care by learning what symptoms and treatments patients experience over time.
Lakewood, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT00024635Recruiting
Understanding Mood and Anxiety Disorders Study
This research study evaluates people with mood disorders (like depression or bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders, or people without these conditions to better understand how these conditions develop and affect the brain. Researchers will ask questions and may do other assessments to learn more.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT00025935Recruiting
Brain Function Studies in Youth With Mood and Attention Disorders
This research study examines how the brains of children and teenagers with mood problems (like persistent irritability or depression) or attention difficulties work differently. Researchers use brain scans and tasks to understand these conditions better and track changes as young people grow up.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–60 - NCT00109174Recruiting
Brain scan study measuring glutamate and GABA
This study uses MRI to measure certain chemicals in the brain (glutamate and GABA) and see how they are metabolized. You may be able to join if you are healthy, can safely have an MRI, and meet the specific enrollment requirements.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT01327690RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Group therapy for mental health in veterans and families
This early-stage study looks at mental health outcomes for active-duty service members, veterans, and their family members after participating in group therapy sessions. If you can follow instructions and complete consent forms, this trial may help researchers understand how group therapy affects well-being in these communities.
Santa Rosa, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT00397111Recruiting
MRI brain-scanning study of mood and anxiety in adults
This study uses brain MRI scans and mental tasks to better understand mood and anxiety problems. It may help researchers develop improved MRI methods for studying depression and healthy brain function.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT01132885Recruiting
Brain scans in children with Williams syndrome
This study uses brain testing—often MRI scans—to learn how the brains of children with Williams syndrome are different from typical development. It may help researchers better describe brain patterns and improve future care for people with Williams syndrome.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5 years+ - NCT02639702RecruitingPhase 4
Switching from twice-daily to once-daily clozapine for schizophrenia
This trial tests whether taking clozapine once a day (instead of twice a day) works safely for people with schizophrenia. It may help by simplifying your dosing schedule while closely monitoring your wellbeing.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02640911Recruiting
Long-term study of certain antipsychines in schizophrenia
This is an observational (non-intervention) study that follows adults with schizophrenia who are taking specific “atypical” antipsychotic medicines long-term. Researchers want to learn about patients’ experiences and outcomes while on these treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT02543983RecruitingPhase 2
Brain scan and ketamine study for suicidal thoughts
This trial studies how ketamine affects the brain in people dealing with suicidal thoughts or an active suicide crisis. It uses questionnaires, consent testing, and brain imaging to look for biological changes that may relate to symptom improvement.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT02945501Recruiting
Brain stimulation during sleep to improve slow-wave brain timing
This study tests a non-painful brain stimulation during the first part of sleep to see how it affects slow, deep-sleep brain rhythms. It is mainly for healthy young adults who can follow a strict sleep schedule.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–39 - NCT03065335RecruitingPhase 1
Ketamine plus brain imaging to study response in depression
This early-stage study tests how ketamine given once and then repeatedly may change brain signals and related biomarkers in people with major depression. If you’re eligible, the team will use brain imaging and assessments to see who responds and why.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT03222375Recruiting
Home treatment for autism using special sound and imaging devices
This trial studies a home-based treatment for autism (or related conditions) using specially designed sound, image, and electromagnetic devices. It aims to see whether this personalized “treatment code” and device approach can improve autism-related skills and behaviors.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 1 month–21 years - NCT07675538Enrolling by invitation
High intensity training for adults with ADHD
This trial tests whether high intensity exercise helps adults with ADHD. You'll participate in a supervised training program to see if it improves your symptoms.
BergenAges 18 years+ - NCT07453537Recruiting
Cranberries and stress in healthy multitasking adults
This study tests whether cranberry polyphenols help healthy adults handle stress better during multitasking. You eat a cranberry snack and do computer tasks while your stress is measured.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 30–55 - NCT03083405Enrolling by invitation
Study of tooth grinding during sleep
This study is for adults who have been diagnosed with sleep bruxism (tooth grinding during sleep). Researchers want to understand it better using sleep testing, and it may help refine how this condition is evaluated.
WroclawAges 18–70 - NCT07404085Recruiting
Cognitive training with medication for mood disorders
This trial tests if a medication can boost the effects of cognitive training in people with bipolar disorder or recurrent depression who have memory or thinking problems. It aims to improve daily functioning.
Frederiksberg, Capital Region of DenmarkAges 40–75 - NCT07409584Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mentalization?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 924 recruiting mentalization 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 mentalization 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 mentalization 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.
