BronAges 5 months–6 months - NCT07200180RecruitingPhase 3
Argon gas to protect brain function after carotid surgery
This trial tests if breathing argon gas during and after surgery can help prevent thinking and memory problems in patients having carotid artery surgery. If effective, it could speed up recovery.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06480838Recruiting
Brain blood flow and thinking after traumatic brain injury
This study looks at how the brain controls its own blood flow after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). It uses MRI scans and thinking tests to understand recovery and help improve care for people like you.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07272811Recruiting
Computer memory testing for early Alzheimer's signs
This study uses a computer-based platform to test memory and thinking in healthy adults and in people with mild memory concerns (called aMCI). The goal is to better understand how memory changes with age and to spot early signs of Alzheimer's disease.
Milan, ItalyAges 55–80 - NCT07294963Recruiting
Lifestyle changes to help thinking and memory in fatty liver disease
This trial tests whether lifestyle changes can prevent cognitive decline in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. If you have fatty liver and are between 18 and 42 years old, you may be able to join.
Peshawar, KPKAges 18–42 - NCT07320209Recruiting
Brain and Body Responses to Virtual Reality Food Cues
This trial uses virtual reality to show you different food cues, like chocolate biscuits or pickles, and measures your brain activity and body responses to understand how these cues affect you. It may help researchers learn more about food cravings and eating behaviors.
Istanbul, MaltepeAges 18 years+ - NCT04804644RecruitingPhase 3
Memory-sparing radiation for brain metastases in small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether focusing high-dose radiation only on brain tumor spots, while avoiding the hippocampus (a brain area important for memory), helps protect memory and thinking compared with standard whole-brain radiation. It’s for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07347431Recruiting
AI tool to understand memory clinic experiences
This study uses a computer program to understand how people with memory problems and their carers talk about their experiences. It aims to help doctors better support dementia care.
North ShieldsAges 65 years+ - NCT02914067Recruiting
Testing brain scan and computer measures in young brain tumor patients
This study looks at “brain biomarkers,” meaning brain signals measured on MRI and thinking/learning tests on a computer. It may help researchers understand how brain tumors affect the brain and track changes over time.
St Louis, MissouriAges 4–18 - NCT02504788Recruiting
Protect the brain’s memory area during whole-brain radiation
This study tests whether avoiding the hippocampus (a part of the brain important for memory) during whole-brain radiotherapy can slow down thinking and memory decline. It may help some people preserve neurocognitive function while still treating brain metastases.
TaoyuanAges 18–84 - NCT02703207Recruiting
Sleep apnea and COPD effects in older veterans
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects thinking skills and overall health in older veterans who also have COPD. It may help researchers understand what changes to target to improve daytime functioning and wellbeing.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60–89 - NCT03184038Recruiting
Testing brain function in people with brain metastases after radiosurgery
This study looks at how well your thinking and memory work after treatment with radiosurgery for brain metastases. It may help researchers understand which patients benefit best and how to monitor side effects on brain function.
Sewell, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07418008Recruiting
Thinking and memory study for people with liver cirrhosis
This study is creating a new test to measure thinking and memory problems in people with liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors find these problems earlier.

Thinking and memory in people with DLBCL
This study looks at how thinking and memory may be affected in people newly diagnosed with a type of lymphoma called diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are about to start a common chemotherapy regimen known as R-CHOP. It also includes a comparison group of healthy relatives. The goal is to understand how treatment may affect cognitive function over time.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT06477289Recruiting
Blood vessel function and thinking in sickle cell disease
This study looks at how blood vessel function in the fingers (using a simple test called arterial tonometry) relates to thinking and memory in people with sickle cell disease. It involves a non-invasive measurement and cognitive tasks.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 12–25 - NCT07589348Recruiting
Brain Function After Gynecologic Surgery
This study measures whether women experience changes in thinking and memory after having gynecologic surgery (removal of uterus and/or ovaries). Researchers want to understand how anesthesia and surgery affect the brain and identify who might be at risk.

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 173 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.
