DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05951764Recruiting
Checking risk prediction for heart and brain conditions
This study builds or tests computer models that predict risk for heart (cardiovascular) and thinking/memory (neurocognitive) problems using information from people in the general population. It may help improve early detection and planning for care.
ParisAges 45 years+ - NCT05565833RecruitingPhase 2
Online sleep program for insomnia and thinking problems
This Phase 2 study tests an internet-based sleep program to help older adults with insomnia and related thinking difficulties. It may help improve sleep and reduce how much tiredness and sleep disruption affect daily life.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 65 years+ - NCT07851051Recruiting
Memory training and brain changes in healthy young adults
This study looks at how training your working memory (the ability to hold and use information in your mind) affects brain activity. You would undergo MRI scans and do memory exercises to help researchers understand how the brain changes with practice, which may lead to better cognitive training methods.
ParisAges 18–30 - NCT06182215Recruiting
Brain function after major abdominal surgery in older adults
This trial studies whether older adults experience thinking or memory changes after major abdominal surgery. It aims to understand these changes so doctors can better support recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65–90 - NCT04566744Recruiting
Study of brain and tool use in adults
This study looks at how your brain works when you use tools, using brain scans and questionnaires. It mainly seeks healthy adults who can safely do MRI and answer questions.
BronAges 18–65 - NCT06416514Recruiting
Personalized help for mild behavioral changes
This study tests a personalized program to support people with mild behavioral impairment (changes in mood, motivation or social behavior) and see if it can improve their health. If you are 60 or older and notice these changes, this trial might help you get tailored support.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 60 years+ - NCT07795996Recruiting
Thiamine supplementation in pregnancy
This study tests whether giving thiamine (vitamin B1) to pregnant women in Cambodia improves the health of their babies. Participants receive thiamine or a placebo during pregnancy and their babies are monitored for a year.
Kampong ThomAges 18–45 - NCT07763392Recruiting
Normal cognitive test scores for adults
This study is testing a voice-controlled digital platform to measure normal memory and thinking abilities in healthy adults. By participating, you would help create a baseline of normal scores that doctors can use to compare against when assessing people with thinking problems.
Carlsbad, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT07766304Recruiting
Long-term thinking and emotional health after stem cell transplant for immune disorders
This study checks how children who had a stem cell transplant for a primary immune deficiency are doing emotionally and mentally, at least 2 years after the transplant. It helps us understand the long-term effects of this treatment on children's health and development.
ParisAges 6–8 - NCT06405594Recruiting
Studying sentence production in aphasia
This study looks at how people with aphasia (language trouble after a stroke) produce sentences, compared to healthy adults. By understanding these brain processes, researchers hope to improve language recovery strategies.
College Park, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07730957Recruiting
Music program to reduce care refusal in nursing home residents
This trial tests whether a structured music program can help reduce care refusal (like agitation or aggression during bathing) in nursing home residents with memory or thinking problems. Residents who show these behaviors may be eligible.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06631742Recruiting
Exergaming for dementia: a fun exercise trial
This trial tests whether playing interactive video games that combine exercise and thinking challenges (called 'exergaming') can help people with dementia. It aims to see if this fun way to move and think can improve memory, daily function, and quality of life.
Wetzikon, Canton of ZurichAges Any age - NCT07707700Recruiting
Training program for reading skills in children with dyslexia
This trial tests a new training program designed to improve visual attention and reading skills in Chinese children with dyslexia. It may help if your child is struggling with reading and has been formally diagnosed.
Hong KongAges 7–10 - NCT07689747Recruiting
Brain training and ankle tests for athletes with weak ankles
This study tests if adding a special computer-based brain training activity to regular ankle function tests can help teenage and young adult athletes who have ongoing ankle problems. If you are a licensed football, basketball, or volleyball player aged 16–25 with chronic ankle instability for at least a year, you may be eligible.
Istanbul, SarıyerAges 16–25 - NCT06469515Recruiting
Thinking recovery after heart surgery in older adults
This study looks at how older adults recover their thinking and memory skills after heart surgery. You may be asked to do simple computer or paper tests to see how your brain heals.
GothenburgAges 65 years+ - NCT07617506Recruiting
Brain Activity Study During Memory Tasks
This research studies how your brain works during memory tasks by safely recording brain activity you're already having monitored. The study may help doctors better understand how memory works and improve treatment for brain conditions.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07612917Recruiting
Brain Activity Changes in Glioma Patients During Treatment
This study tracks how brain activity and connections change in patients with gliomas (brain tumors) as they receive treatment. Researchers use special brain scans to understand how treatment affects the brain's function, which may help improve care for glioma patients in the future.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neurocognition?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 164 recruiting neurocognition 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 neurocognition 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 neurocognition 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.
