Recruiting studies
- NCT04621357Recruiting
Testing how brain swelling affects recovery after brain bleeding
This study looks at brain swelling (“cerebral edema”) after a spontaneous brain bleed and how it relates to outcomes. It mainly involves people who can have early care and MRI scans, to better understand what affects recovery.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT04649008RecruitingEarly Phase 1
MRI and brain electrodes to map epilepsy areas
This early study looks at how MRI scans and implanted brain electrodes (intracranial EEG) can pinpoint where seizures start, especially in the temporal (side) lobe. It may help doctors better localize seizure sources for people whose seizures don’t respond well to medications.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04657042Recruiting
4D MRI scans to guide lung or liver cancer radiation
This trial tests whether special “4D” MRI scans can improve precision radiation planning for people with lung or liver cancer. You may get MRI scan data to better account for tumor movement, alongside your usual radiation treatment.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–82 - NCT04659824Recruiting
MRI study of iron buildup in normal aging
This study uses special MRI scans to measure how iron builds up in the brain as people age. It may help researchers understand what iron changes mean for healthy (non-disease) aging.
LilleAges 18–95 - NCT04708613Recruiting
Brain testing study for former football players and controls
This study looks at how the brain and thinking may be affected by playing professional football, using brain scans and thinking tests. It also compares former players with similar men who did not play organized football beyond high school.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 29–59 - NCT04713657RecruitingPhase 1
Beta-blocker study for heart muscle function in young babies
This trial tests whether a beta-blocker called propranolol can improve how well heart muscle cells work in very young babies with certain congenital heart conditions. It mainly looks at safety and how the medicine affects the heart, which could help guide future treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 4 weeks–2 months - NCT04717388Recruiting
Study brain and feelings in people with tinnitus
This study looks at how tinnitus affects the brain, thinking, and emotional well-being. It compares people with chronic tinnitus to people without tinnitus (including a group related to a specific type of epilepsy surgery).
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04732156Recruiting
Test AI and MRI scores to spot prostate cancer
This study compares how well a doctor’s MRI reading (the PI-RADS score) and a computer AI tool detect prostate cancer. It may help improve how men get targeted biopsies and avoid missing important cancers.
BordeauxAges 18–80 - NCT04735172Recruiting
Brain scan to compare Parkinson chemical signals in early patients
This study uses a special 7‑Tesla MRI brain scan to measure tiny chemical (metabolite) differences in specific deep brain areas. It compares newly diagnosed, early-stage Parkinson’s patients who are not on Parkinson medication with healthy volunteers.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18–75 - NCT04749108RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tailored treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer after FOLFIRINOX
This trial studies a more customized treatment plan for people with locally advanced rectal (bowel) cancer after they receive FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. It aims to reduce tumor spread risk and improve outcomes by tailoring the next steps based on scan details and your health status.
Marseille, Bouches Du RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT04772456RecruitingPhase 1
MRI scan using a special sugar to study infiltrating brain tumors
This early study (Phase 1) tests a new kind of MRI that uses a special labeled sugar (pyruvate) to help learn how infiltrating gliomas behave in the brain. If you have a suspected or known infiltrating glioma and are having brain surgery or biopsy, this may help your doctors learn more about tumor metabolism and guide future care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT04796714RecruitingPhase 4
Aspirin and clopidogrel after left heart appendix closure
This trial studies a “double anti-platelet” medicine plan (aspirin plus clopidogrel) after closing the left atrial appendage, a procedure used to reduce stroke risk in some heart rhythm conditions. It aims to find a safer, better medicine strategy for people who cannot take standard blood thinners.
PessacAges 18 years+ - NCT04803773Recruiting
MRI-guided ultrasound to treat painful bone tumors
This feasibility study tests an MRI-guided focused ultrasound treatment for certain painful bone tumors, including bone metastases and osteoid osteoma. The goal is to see if the treatment can be safely delivered to the right spot and help with pain.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT04808323RecruitingPhase 1
MRI-guided radiation to help preserve organs in rectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a radiation treatment approach guided by MRI scans to help keep nearby organs functioning while treating rectal cancer. It is designed to find a safe, effective way to target the tumor and adjust treatment during the course of therapy.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04810858Recruiting
Study how chronic marijuana affects brain inflammation in HIV
This study looks at whether ongoing marijuana use changes “brain inflammation” and brain cell injury in people living with HIV. It may help researchers understand potential risks or protective effects and how treatment and brain health interact.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 25–59 - NCT04814420Recruiting
Study heart scarring in sleep apnea, with or without atrial fibrillation
This pilot study looks at whether obstructive sleep apnea leads to heart scarring (called atrial fibrosis), especially in people with and without an irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation). It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why, using sleep testing and heart imaging.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18–75 - NCT04852744Recruiting
Brain scan study in teens with borderline and/or PTSD
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) to compare brain patterns in teens with borderline personality disorder and those with PTSD, as well as teens without these mental health diagnoses. It may help researchers understand what brain differences go along with these conditions and how they relate to each other.
CaenAges 13–18 - NCT04866940Recruiting
Testing 3T MRI scan routines for research use
This study checks whether specific 3T MRI scan steps can be done reliably and safely in research settings. You might benefit by helping improve MRI protocols, but it mainly tests the imaging process itself.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT04868994Recruiting
MRI study to help diagnose amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
This trial uses a special MRI scan to help diagnose ALS by looking at signs in both nerve pathways. If you’re being evaluated for ALS, it may help doctors confirm the diagnosis sooner and more accurately.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - NCT04893954Recruiting
Study of spine changes after weight loss from bariatric surgery
This study looks at how rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery may affect your spine over the following year or more. It may help doctors better predict who gets spine-related problems or improvements after surgery.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04901234RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive radiation for advanced throat cancer
This study tests an approach called “adaptive radiotherapy,” where the radiation plan may be adjusted based on how your tumor and anatomy look during treatment. It is for adults with biopsy-proven oropharyngeal (throat) squamous cell carcinoma who are planning curative radiation, with or without chemotherapy.
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT04903015Recruiting
Study brain effects in retiring pro soccer players

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mri?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 940 recruiting mri 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 mri 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 mri 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.
