Recruiting studies
- NCT03331302RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested lung imaging scans in stable COPD patients
This study compares two ways of seeing how well your lungs work: a special MRI scan and another scan that uses a different gas. It may help researchers find which imaging test best reflects lung function in people with COPD.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04829708RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing brain spread in limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to manage limited-stage small cell lung cancer that has improved after initial chemotherapy and radiation. Participants will either get preventive brain radiation or have regular brain MRI scans instead, to see which approach is safer and works better.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT05015231Recruiting
MRI study after fistula closure in kidney transplant patients
This trial uses special MRI scans to see how blood flow in the transplanted kidney changes after your fistula is surgically closed. It may help doctors better understand what healthy recovery looks like after the procedure.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05246475Recruiting
PET-MRI scan study for oxygen levels in head and neck tumors
This study uses a combined PET-MRI scan to measure how much oxygen a head and neck tumor has. It may help doctors understand tumor “oxygen levels,” which can relate to how tumors grow and respond to treatment.
Turku, G102881Ages 18–80 - NCT05929144Recruiting
MRI testing to improve brain scans in neurodegenerative diseases
This study aims to improve MRI scan settings used when studying brain diseases that affect memory and movement. You would be asked to undergo MRI scanning as a healthy volunteer to help optimize the imaging process.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT01788410Recruiting
MRI-guided freezing treatment for neck, head, and spine pain
This trial studies an MRI-guided procedure that “freezes” targeted nerves or joints to reduce pain in the head, neck, or spine. It may help if your pain comes from a joint problem or a compressed/damaged nerve and you can safely have MRI scans before and after the treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT00573339Recruiting
Heart MRI test in women with normal heart testing
This trial uses heart MRI scanning to create normal reference measurements in women who appear to have no heart blood-flow problems. It may help doctors compare future MRI results and better interpret scans when symptoms happen.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 35–65 - NCT02988921Recruiting
MRI and CT planning for esophagus or stomach-junction cancer treatment
This study checks whether MRI and CT scans can better measure how esophageal or stomach-junction tumors respond during chemoradiotherapy and help doctors map the exact treatment area. It may help improve targeting while you receive standard treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06232889Recruiting
Imaging study to check liver tumor response to radiation treatment
This study uses special MRI scans and PET scans to see how liver tumors respond to a radiation treatment called radioembolization (SIRT). The goal is to improve how treatment response is measured in people with metastatic liver disease.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06041555Recruiting
MRI-guided radiotherapy study for five cancer types
This study collects MRI scans and treatment data from patients getting MRI-guided radiotherapy for certain cancers. It aims to improve radiation treatment planning using imaging and biological information.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT03959163Recruiting
Quick kidney MRI test in children with kidney infection
This study checks whether a fast kidney MRI (“Quick MRI”) can help doctors in children who are being evaluated for kidney infection (pyelonephritis). It may help confirm kidney involvement without relying only on slower or more complex tests.
Madison, WisconsinAges birth–21 years - NCT07845708Recruiting
Proton mri for muscle and bone conditions
This study uses a special type of MRI called proton MRI to look at muscle and bone problems. It might help doctors get clearer pictures to better understand and treat these issues.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 5 years+ - NCT07844577Recruiting
Zero Echo Time MRI for spinal bone assessment
This trial tests whether a new MRI technique, called zero echo time (ZTE), can replace some CT scans for diagnosing spinal bone problems. If successful, you may not need a CT scan, which exposes you to radiation, and instead get all the needed information from this MRI scan.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06478485Recruiting
A new way to plan neck surgery using MRI measurements
This trial is testing a new method to plan cervical spine surgery called laminoplasty. The goal is to use special measurements from MRI scans to better decide how to operate. This could lead to better recovery for people with spinal cord compression in the neck.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06112964Recruiting
Brain and behavior changes in cancer-related weight loss
This study looks at changes in thinking, behavior, and brain structure that can happen when people with cancer lose weight and appetite (called cachexia). Researchers will use questionnaires and brain scans to understand these changes, which may help improve care for people with cancer.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT07795008Recruiting
MRI for sports knee injuries
This study uses MRI to look at knee injuries caused by sports. It aims to better understand these injuries and help guide treatment. You may join if your knee injury is sports-related and you haven't had knee surgery or arthritis.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges Any age - NCT07769957Recruiting
Brain scans for babies with slow growth in the womb
This study uses a special type of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to look at the brain development of babies who are growing slowly in the womb. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better understand this condition and how to care for these babies.
IstanbulAges 18–45 - NCT07767708Recruiting
New MRI scan to see nerve damage from birth-related arm injury
This study is testing a new MRI technique to better see nerve damage in people with a birth-related arm injury. It could help doctors understand these injuries more clearly and guide treatment.
ParisAges 14–30 - NCT07767500Recruiting
MRI-guided radiation therapy for early-stage kidney cancer
This trial tests a new way to deliver radiation to kidney tumors using MRI guidance. It aims to treat early-stage kidney cancer while sparing healthy tissue, and may be an option for people who cannot have surgery or prefer not to.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07762911Recruiting
MRI-based prostate cancer screening follow-up
This study is a follow-up for men already in the VISIONING prostate cancer screening program. It uses MRI scans to check for prostate cancer over 5 more years, helping catch any changes early.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 50 years+ - NCT07743749Recruiting
MRI-based study to classify and grade kidney tumors
This study uses MRI scans to help doctors better identify the type and severity of kidney tumors. It may lead to more accurate diagnoses without needing extra tests.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05456958Recruiting
Brain training with fMRI feedback for PTSD symptoms
This trial tests a multi-session brain-training approach that uses MRI scans to help teach your brain patterns in PTSD. If you qualify, you’ll attend several sessions and the study team will look at whether symptoms improve.
London, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT07716397Recruiting
MRI study for thyroid eye disease diagnosis and care
This study uses MRI scans of the eye area to better understand and classify thyroid eye disease (TED). It aims to help doctors predict outcomes and personalize treatment. You may be eligible if you have stable TED or are a healthy volunteer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mri?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 909 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.
