Recruiting studies
- NCT07760545Recruiting
Memory screening by video before surgery
This study tests whether doing a quick memory and thinking check over video call is as reliable as doing it in person. You would take part before your scheduled surgery to help improve how cognitive health is assessed.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 65 years+ - NCT07517237Recruiting
Brain Stimulation and Cognitive Training for Memory and Thinking
This study tests whether a small device that stimulates a nerve in your ear (combined with computerized brain exercises) can help improve memory, attention, and thinking abilities in adults experiencing cognitive changes. You'll use the device at home with an app on your phone or tablet.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 45–80 - NCT06927284Recruiting
Thinking and robotic glove training for hand function after stroke
This trial tests if combining a soft robotic glove with thinking-based hand exercises helps stroke survivors regain hand movement better than exercises alone. If you had your first stroke 6 to 12 weeks ago and have some arm weakness, this study might be a fit.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - 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 - 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.
Linz, Upper AustriaAges 18–64 - NCT04066465Recruiting
Testing how proton therapy affects thinking in young people
This study looks at how proton radiation therapy may affect thinking, learning, and brain function in children and teens with a primary brain tumor. It uses repeated short brain/learning tests to track possible changes over time.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 8–18 - 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+ - 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 - NCT04343157RecruitingPhase 2
Image-guided radiation for brain tumors that protects thinking
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy for brain tumors that aims to protect your memory and thinking skills. It may be an option if you have certain brain tumors or a small number of brain metastases.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04179981Recruiting
CPAP treatment effects in older COPD and sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60 years+ - 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 - NCT06749483Recruiting
Gut bacteria and infection in intensive care patients
This study looks at how gut bacteria affect severe infections in the ICU. It tests whether the microbiome can be a source of sepsis and a target for treatment. If you are critically ill or a long-term sepsis survivor, you might help find new ways to prevent infections.
Jena, ThuringiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07637357Recruiting
How anesthesia affects thinking after weight-loss surgery
This study looks at how different types of anesthesia used during sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery) may affect your memory and thinking skills after the operation. Researchers want to understand which anesthesia approach is safest for your brain.
Istanbul, SancaktepeAges 18–65 - NCT06227962Enrolling by invitation
Thinking and quality of life in retinoblastoma survivors
This study looks at how retinoblastoma and its treatment affect thinking skills and quality of life over time. It may help doctors better support survivors and their families.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 6 months–35 years - NCT07195253Recruiting
Down syndrome and sleep apnea study in infants
This study looks at mouth and face features and sleep apnea in 6-month-old infants with Down syndrome. It may help doctors understand and treat sleep problems better.
BronAges 5 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 - 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 - NCT06701630Recruiting
Italian study of daily thinking and memory scales
This study is testing new questionnaires to better understand everyday thinking and memory problems in older adults. It aims to improve how doctors identify and track conditions like mild cognitive impairment and early dementia.
Milan, MichiganAges 60 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neurocognitive function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 18 recruiting neurocognitive function 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 neurocognitive function 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 neurocognitive function 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.
