Recruiting studies
- NCT07059286Enrolling by invitation
Pregnancy, Baby Brain Scans, and Child Development Study

Fetal care study for babies with slow growth
This study looks at therapies meant to support brain development in babies whose growth is slower than expected before birth. It enrolls pregnancies in a specific time window and uses ultrasound/Doppler testing to make sure the baby is not likely needing delivery immediately.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06087744Recruiting
Helping preterm babies' brains with skin-to-skin and sounds
This study tests whether combining skin-to-skin holding with a 10-minute sound recording can help premature babies' brains develop better. If you have a baby born early (24–33 weeks), you may be able to take part.
Montreal, QuebecAges 6 months–8 months - NCT03396562Recruiting
Study of early development in babies with extra sex chromosomes
This study follows infants and young children with conditions caused by having an extra sex chromosome (like XXY, XYY, or XXX) to learn how health and development unfold over time. It may help families and doctors understand what to expect and what support could be helpful.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1 month–1.1 years - NCT07695883RecruitingPhase 3
Vitamins and minerals for teen girls' health
This study tests whether giving teen girls extra vitamins and minerals improves their growth and health. It may help girls who are still growing and living at home.
Rangpur CityAges 10–18 - NCT07598643RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tofacitinib for immune function in Down syndrome
This study tests if an oral medication called tofacitinib can help the immune system work better in children and young adults with Down syndrome, which may improve learning and development. The study will follow participants for 6 months.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 6–22 - NCT07583186Recruiting
How Eating More Eggs During Pregnancy Affects Baby's Brain Development
This study looks at whether pregnant women who eat more eggs can help their babies' brain development. Researchers will follow you and your baby from pregnancy through the first year of life to see if increased egg consumption makes a difference.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06744244Recruiting
Smell test for newborns with birth asphyxia
This study tests whether a simple smell test can help doctors better understand the risk of brain injury in newborns who had oxygen loss at birth. It may help identify babies who need extra monitoring without requiring cooling treatment.
ParmaAges 6 hours–3 days - NCT06823492Recruiting
Early life and brain study
This study looks at how your early life experiences may affect your brain and behavior. You would visit the University of Manchester for assessments and help researchers understand these connections.
ManchesterAges 18–25 - NCT07372898Recruiting
Helping parents create a calm home for preterm babies after surgery
This study tests a program called H-HOPE that helps parents create a calm, supportive environment for their baby after major surgery. The goal is to improve the baby's recovery and reduce stress for the whole family.

Family-linked genetic frontotemporal dementia study for teens
This study follows young people ages 9 to 16 who have a close biological family member with genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD). It aims to better understand this inherited condition and track participants over time. You may complete surveys and thinking/behavior assessments, and you may have brain MRI scans if you choose.
London, OntarioAges 7–17 - NCT07182474Recruiting
Turkish version of a baby neurological exam
This study is testing a Turkish version of a brief exam for babies with a high risk of cerebral palsy (CP). The goal is to see if the exam can help doctors spot brain development problems early, so your baby can get the right support sooner.
Kahramanmaraş, OnikişubatAges 3 months–1 year - NCT06332521Recruiting
Baby crying sounds as early brain development clues
This study records cries from full-term and premature newborns to see if crying patterns can predict brain development. It may lead to earlier detection of developmental issues.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neurodevelopment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 31 recruiting neurodevelopment 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 neurodevelopment 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 neurodevelopment 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.
