This trial tests whether listening to specially designed music can help keep your brain healthy as you age. You'll listen to music at home and complete thinking and memory tasks to see if it makes a difference.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–95 - NCT06515041Recruiting
Can museum visits boost brain health?
This study looks at whether visiting a museum can improve thinking and memory in healthy adults. You would visit the Caen Museum of Fine Arts and take some simple tests before and after.
CaenAges 18–65 - NCT06779890RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing anesthesia types for brain tumor surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (gas vs. IV) during brain tumor surgery to see which one better protects the brain and helps with thinking and memory after the operation.
ThessalonikiAges 18–80 - NCT06776848RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lithium for TBR1-related neurodevelopmental disorder
This trial tests whether taking lithium for 2 years can improve symptoms in people with a TBR1 gene change that causes neurodevelopmental challenges. It aims to see if lithium is safe and helpful for this condition.
DijonAges 6 years+ - NCT06751992RecruitingPhase 4
Thinking and memory with extended-release tacrolimus in kidney transplant
This study tests if switching to an extended-release form of your anti-rejection medication (tacrolimus) helps protect memory and thinking skills. It is for older adults who have had a kidney transplant at least one year ago.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT06718140Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Ultrasound for memory in mild cognitive decline
This study tests if a non-invasive ultrasound treatment can help memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (mNCD) and healthy older adults. It involves MRI scans and focused ultrasound sessions.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 50–85 - NCT06700291Recruiting
Frailty and thinking problems after surgery in older adults
This study looks at how frailty (a state of being physically weak and less resilient) before hip or knee replacement surgery affects thinking and memory problems after surgery in older adults. It aims to help identify patients who may need extra support.
TbilisiAges 65 years+ - NCT05322343Recruiting
Study biobank and brain health in people age 55–80
This study collects blood samples to build a biobank and learn how brain health changes with age. Some participants may also do an MRI scan to better understand brain changes and immune response.
Bordeaux, BordeauxAges 55–80 - NCT06668610Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for mild memory problems
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with brain wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.
Caserta, ItalyAges 55–85 - NCT06636786RecruitingPhase 2
Medication to reduce stress symptoms after a car accident
This study tests whether a medication placed under the tongue can help prevent or reduce stress-related symptoms, like anxiety or post-traumatic stress, after a motor vehicle crash. It may help you feel better in the weeks following the accident.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–55 - NCT06597591Recruiting
Virtual reality training to improve self-control in memory loss patients
This study tests whether a virtual reality training game can help improve your ability to stop yourself or control impulses, which can be affected in early memory problems. You will use a VR headset to practice these skills in a safe, fun environment.
NiceAges 60 years+ - NCT06599879Recruiting
Brain radiation effects on memory and attention in kids
This study looks at how radiation from brain tumor treatment affects memory, attention, and thinking skills in children. It uses brain scans and tests to understand these effects.
AngersAges 6–14 - NCT06523296Recruiting
Antibodies and thinking problems in myasthenia or Alzheimer's

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.
