Recruiting studies
- NCT04876339Recruiting
Sound-based training to improve walking after brain illness
This study tests whether using special sounds (sonification) during gait training can improve walking for people with stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or multiple sclerosis. It may help your walking speed, stamina (fatigue), and overall walking pattern.
PaviaAges Up to 80 years - NCT04806620Recruiting
Online app study for brain inflammation lifestyle data
This study uses a digital platform (app/website) to collect lifestyle and symptom information to better understand brain inflammation. You may qualify if you have certain conditions like Long COVID, migraines, autoimmune disease, inflammatory gut issues, mood disorders, or if you are a healthy comparison person.
Delafield, WisconsinAges 2 years+ - NCT04634994RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain scans to measure synapses in multiple sclerosis
This early study uses special brain scans (PET and MRI) to measure “synapse density” (how many connection points brain cells have) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers understand MS biology and improve future treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–60 - NCT04106830Recruiting
Study to follow neuroinflammation and demyelination diseases with imaging
This study builds a China-based group of people with neuroinflammatory and demyelination diseases and collects health and MRI (brain scan) information. It may help doctors better understand these conditions over time and improve future treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 16–75 - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune disease
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can safely treat advanced cancer in people who also have an autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to find out if the drug may help control cancer while managing their autoimmune condition.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03759522RecruitingPhase 1
PET brain scan for inflammation in MS, fibromyalgia, or CFS
This early-stage study tests an imaging medicine ([F-18]DPA-714) that can help researchers see inflammation in the brain and nervous system. It may help doctors better understand how “inflammation signals” differ across conditions like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–65 - NCT03698149Recruiting
Brain-signal training for hand and speech control after disability
This study tests whether recording brain signals can help people regain better control of movements in the arms and help with speech. It may be an option for people with significant disability from certain nerve and brain conditions who can safely take part in brain-monitoring procedures.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT03207464RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET/MRI scan study for nerve inflammation in multiple sclerosis
This early-phase study uses a special PET scan and an MRI to look at nerve-related inflammation in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The goal is to see whether this scan can detect MS-related changes, which could improve how MS is studied in the future.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–60 - NCT03135327Recruiting
Eye scans study to compare brain and eye health
This study uses detailed eye imaging to look for patterns that may go along with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, memory problems, multiple sclerosis, or eye/vascular issues. It may help researchers better understand how eye findings relate to health and disease.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT02553525Enrolling by invitation
Testing different stimulation patterns in Parkinson’s, tremor, and MS
This study tests whether changing the “stimulation pattern” in a deep brain stimulator can improve how well symptoms are controlled. If you are already getting (or replacing) a deep brain stimulator, this may help fine-tune the settings for you.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 21–80 - NCT02670161Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Using electronic records to improve care for brain and nerve conditions
This study looks at how doctors use electronic medical records to improve treatment and care for people with certain brain and nervous system conditions. It may help because it tests practice-based approaches across neurology visits.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18–100 - NCT00704626Enrolling by invitation
Blood antibody tests in autoimmune brain and nerve diseases
This study looks at blood “auto-antibodies,” which are immune proteins that may attack the body, in people with certain brain and nerve conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and how the immune system is involved.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00794352Recruiting
Studying immune brain and nerve conditions with tests and samples
This study looks at how immune-related brain or spinal cord illness shows up using exams, MRI scans, and sometimes a spinal fluid test (lumbar puncture), plus collected blood and other samples. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future diagnosis or treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–99 years - NCT03174938Recruiting
BioFINDER 2 study for healthy aging and memory problems
This study uses brain scans and a spinal fluid test to better understand memory and thinking changes in different groups, from people with healthy thinking to early or established dementia. If you qualify, it may help researchers learn what’s driving these conditions and how they progress.
ÄngelholmAges 20–100 - NCT02795052Recruiting
Stem cell treatment trial for nerve injury
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07509125Recruiting
Ultra-high resolution PET brain scans for aging, dementia, and psychosis
This study uses a new ultra-high resolution PET scanner to look at brain changes in healthy aging, dementia, ALS, movement disorders, and psychosis. It aims to better understand these conditions and improve imaging techniques.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–90 - NCT07467187Recruiting
Home Ventilation with Tracheostomy in Denmark (2016–2025)
This study looks at people in Denmark who need a home ventilator through a tracheostomy. It aims to understand their care and outcomes over several years.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT06596746Recruiting
Tracking markers for neurodegenerative diseases
This study tracks changes in people with Parkinson's disease, other movement disorders, or cognitive decline to find better ways to measure disease progression.
Cassino, FrosinoneAges 10 years+ - NCT06523582Recruiting
Genetic study of neuroendocrine tumors in Mexican patients
This study aims to find genetic causes of neuroendocrine tumors in Mexican patients. By understanding your DNA, researchers hope to improve diagnosis and treatment for people with these rare conditions.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT03050268Recruiting
Study of childhood cancer risk in families
This study looks at inherited (family) risk for childhood cancers, including families with early cancers or known cancer risk conditions. It may help researchers understand why some children get cancer and improve future risk detection and care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for multiple sclerosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 428 recruiting multiple sclerosis 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 multiple sclerosis 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 multiple sclerosis 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.
