New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07409506Recruiting
How caregivers help people with Alzheimer's
This study looks at the support that caregivers provide to people with Alzheimer's disease at different stages. It helps researchers understand how caregiving changes over time, which can lead to better support for both patients and their families.
VilleurbanneAges 60 years+ - NCT07390136Recruiting
Brain development study for babies with and without early brain injury
This study looks at how babies' brains develop, comparing infants who had a brain injury around birth with healthy babies. It could help understand early thinking and learning abilities.
Madison, WisconsinAges 3 months–2 years - NCT06400121RecruitingPhase 2
Apimostinel plus brain training for depression
This study tests if a new drug called apimostinel, combined with computer-based brain training exercises, can improve depression symptoms. It may help people with major depression who also have negative thoughts about themselves.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–60 - NCT06876935Recruiting
Avocado for healthy growth in Hispanic infants
This study tests if feeding avocado to Hispanic infants when they start solids helps their gut health and development. We need families who are ready to offer avocado regularly for about 6 months, starting when their baby is around 6 months old.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 3 months–6 months - NCT03609112Recruiting
Study brain and thinking risks in children with solid tumors
This study looks at how cancer treatment may affect children’s thinking and brain health. It may help doctors better understand risks so they can monitor and support learning and memory during and after treatment.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges Any age - NCT06466642Recruiting
Brain training for memory and thinking with HIV
This study tests if two types of computer-based brain exercises can help improve memory, thinking, and daily function in people living with HIV who have mild mental slowdowns. Participants will do about 10 hours of one brain game and 10 sessions of another over 5 weeks.
Cape Town, Western CapeAges 30–50 - NCT06288256Recruiting
Spine surgery study: genes, thinking, and pain
This study is for people getting planned spine surgery. It looks at how your genes and thinking skills might affect your pain and use of pain medicine after surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07434037Recruiting
Trust and the brain in Down syndrome and Fragile X
This study explores how people with Down syndrome or Fragile X syndrome learn to trust others. It uses simple tasks and a brain scan (MRI) to compare their responses with those of typically developing children and young adults.
BronAges 3–29 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07191119Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for insomnia in childhood leukemia survivors

Hong KongAges 7–10 - NCT03568669Recruiting
Testing thinking and learning in congenital central hypoventilation syndrome
This study looks at thinking and memory in people with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) to better understand how the condition affects the brain. It may help researchers measure changes over time and guide future care.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 3–85 - NCT03860857RecruitingPhase 3
Study biomarkers in memory aging and brain health
This Phase 3 study looks for blood/brain “biomarkers” linked to aging, memory changes, and early brain degeneration. It may help researchers better identify who is at risk and how biology relates to thinking and memory, using brain scans and thinking tests.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neurocognition?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 171 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.
