Recruiting studies
- NCT07141992Enrolling by invitation
Nerve glide exercises for burning pain from diabetic neuropathy
This study compares two types of nerve gliding exercises to see which works better for reducing burning pain, improving muscle strength, and increasing movement in patients with diabetes-related nerve damage.
Karachi, SindhAges 40–65 - NCT05820074Recruiting
Neural signals and walking changes in Parkinson’s patients
This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
Vitznau, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT05058872RecruitingPhase 4
Study links birth-control hormones to brain reward responses
This Phase 4 study uses brain imaging and daily questions to understand how contraceptive hormones may affect reward and brain signals. You may be able to join if you meet the health, birth-control, and safety requirements for MRI.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06910293Recruiting
Brain Activity During Menstrual Cycle vs. Fertility Treatment
This study looks at how natural menstrual cycles and ovarian stimulation (which mimics some fertility treatments) affect brain activity and hormone levels. Researchers want to understand normal brain changes during the cycle to help improve fertility treatments.
Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi EmirateAges 25–35 - NCT04110730Recruiting
Testing 3D-printed prostheses on hand and arm brain signals
This study looks at how 3D-printed prosthetic devices affect brain and nerve activity related to moving and using the upper limb. You might be able to join if you are a child or teen who is missing part of a hand/arm and has upper-limb movement difficulties.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 3–18 - NCT04885322Recruiting
Brain stimulation trial for attention and thinking control
This study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation method (tDCS) can improve attention and “thinking control,” and how brain activity changes during tasks. It also uses brain imaging (MRI), so safety and comfort conditions must be met.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT06626113Recruiting
Nerve activity and obesity study
This trial looks at how the nerves that control blood pressure work in people with obesity and insulin resistance. It may help explain why some people develop high blood pressure and others don't.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18–79 - NCT02098265Recruiting
Brain-signal device for stroke arm rehabilitation
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07428928Recruiting
Play-based hand therapy for cerebral palsy children
This trial tests whether playful hand and nerve exercises can improve grip strength and hand use in children with cerebral palsy. It may help children who have trouble with fine motor tasks.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 6–12 - NCT06896331Recruiting
Study of brain cell activity in tumor surgery patients
This trial studies electrical signals from brain cells in people having surgery to remove a brain or cerebellum tumor. It aims to better understand how these cells work.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT06453980Recruiting
Brain plasticity study in mild memory loss
This study looks at how the brain changes in people with mild memory problems. It uses brain scans and a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation to see if we can improve brain function.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT06691490Recruiting
Brain activity and daily physical activity study
This study looks at how your brain's perception of effort is linked to how much physical activity you do. It uses EEG (a cap that records brain waves) and fMRI (an MRI that shows brain activity) to understand this connection.
La TroncheAges Any age - NCT06215274Recruiting
Leisure activities and early Alzheimer's study
This trial looks at how engaging in mentally stimulating leisure activities (like puzzles, reading, or games) may affect brain health in people with early memory concerns. Researchers want to understand the brain changes that happen with these activities.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 60 years+ - NCT04290130Enrolling by invitation
Study brain signals during audiovisual speech in neurosurgery patients
This study measures brain activity to understand how your brain combines what you see and hear during speech. It may help scientists build better ways to understand and treat problems with speech processing.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 21–65 - NCT04903028Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help people quit smoking
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation (rTMS) can help people stop smoking. It targets brain circuits involved in cravings, aiming to support quitting safely.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 22–70 - NCT05913518Recruiting
Neurofeedback training for people recovering from alcohol use disorder
This study tests whether a brain-training therapy called neurofeedback can improve “metacognition” (how well you monitor and understand your own thinking) in people with severe alcohol use disorder during/after a short detox program. It also studies brain signals using special recordings to see what changes may happen.
BrusselsAges 18–65 - NCT05689476Recruiting
Measuring diaphragm breathing signals during ICU ventilation
This study measures electrical activity of the diaphragm and how your breathing system works while you are on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand breathing during recovery after major lung events.
Padova, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06578429Recruiting
Deep TMS for methamphetamine use disorder
This study uses a type of brain stimulation called deep TMS to see if it can help people with methamphetamine use disorder reduce their cravings and use. You would receive daily magnetic pulses to specific brain areas over several weeks.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 25–75 - NCT06949423Recruiting
Deep TMS for alcohol use disorder
This study tests whether deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can change brain activity related to alcohol use. It is for people who have moderate to severe alcohol use disorder and are willing to attend clinic visits.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06980090Recruiting
How doctors' expectations affect their emotions
This study looks at how expecting to feel pain can change how doctors react emotionally. It uses brain scans (MRI) and mild electrical stimulation (tTIS) to understand these effects.
Hanover, New HampshireAges 18–55 - NCT07587112Recruiting
TMS treatment for OCD: brain imaging study
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with OCD. You will get rTMS while having brain scans (PET and MRI) to see how it affects your symptoms. It's a chance to learn more about your OCD and possibly find relief.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neural activity?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 21 recruiting neural activity 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 neural activity 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 neural activity 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.
