Recruiting studies
- NCT06814314Recruiting
Kids' metabolism and antipsychotic medication study
This study looks at how antipsychotic medicines affect metabolism in children ages 5-17. It compares those with and without metabolic issues, and a group not taking these medicines, to understand how their bodies process energy.
Bosisio Parini, LCAges 5–17 - NCT06852703Recruiting
Studying how pregnancy inflammation affects baby brain development
This study looks for biological markers in the mother's blood that might predict how exposure to inflammation during pregnancy could change a baby's brain development. The goal is to understand these effects in healthy pregnancies and those with certain inflammatory conditions.
Pisa, PIAges 18–40 - NCT06851377Recruiting
Precision genome study for undiagnosed genetic conditions
This study uses a new, high-resolution genome mapping technique to find genetic causes that standard tests might miss. It may help you if you have symptoms of a known genetic syndrome but standard testing came back negative or unclear.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 2 years+ - NCT06190210Recruiting
Brain blood flow study in infants with heart defects
This study measures how well blood flows to the brain in infants with serious heart defects. The results may help doctors understand and protect brain development before and after heart surgery.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges Up to 6 months - NCT05527080Recruiting
Study brain and movement development in healthy infants
This study looks at how infants’ movement (motility) and early thinking (cognition) develop over time. It may help researchers better understand normal development in healthy babies.
HelsinkiAges 5 months–2.2 years - NCT07173153Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy study for SLC6A1 genetic disorder
This trial tests a gene therapy for people with a specific mutation (S295L) in the SLC6A1 gene, which causes a neurodevelopmental disorder. The therapy aims to correct the genetic issue, and participants will be monitored closely for safety and effectiveness.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT07133789Recruiting
Better understanding chromosome changes in children with developmental disorders
This study uses a new technique called optical mapping to better understand chromosome changes found in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. It aims to give clearer answers to families about these genetic findings.
Paris, ParisAges 2 years+ - NCT07004283Enrolling by invitation
Fetal MRI reference ranges for normal brain development
This study uses fetal MRI scans from a large group of healthy pregnancies to create standard growth charts for brain measurements. This helps doctors better understand normal fetal brain development.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06926166Recruiting
Genes and germs in early life study
This study looks at how genes and tiny organisms in your body (microbiota) affect early childhood development. It involves storing blood and stool samples from you and your child to help researchers learn more.
GuangzhouAges Any age - NCT06915480RecruitingPhase 3
Study to reduce missed appointments
This study tests if reminder messages and extra help (for some patients) can reduce missed appointments. It may make it easier for you to remember and keep your appointment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1 month–24 years - NCT06175104Recruiting
HeartGPS: Support for parents after a prenatal heart diagnosis
This study tests a counseling program for parents whose unborn baby has a serious heart condition called single ventricle. The program aims to help parents manage stress and support their baby's development before and after birth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06455384Recruiting
Studying a digital tool for genetic testing services
This trial tests a new online tool called the Genetics Navigator, which helps people access genetic testing services more easily. If you or your child have been referred for genetic testing at Mount Sinai Hospital or SickKids in Toronto, this study may help you manage the process online.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05368493Enrolling by invitation
Study how air pollution affects youth development
This study looks at whether exposure to air pollution during youth is linked to how children grow, learn, or develop. You may be invited if your family is already part of an earlier birth cohort study and can complete questionnaires and (if needed) brain imaging safely.
New York, New YorkAges 6 months–11 years - NCT05318222Recruiting
Virtual genetic evaluation for undiagnosed rare disease
This study helps children who have a rare genetic illness but have not yet received a diagnosis. It uses virtual evaluation to try to find answers and possible next steps for care.
Edinburg, TexasAges 1 day–18 years - NCT05361122Recruiting
Study to prevent developmental delays using xylitol
This study looks at whether giving xylitol can help prevent developmental delays in children. Families will do several developmental checkups, including tests done at a specific travel site, to see how children are doing.
LilongweAges 4–8 - NCT04964206Recruiting
Epidural pain relief in labor and baby brain development
This trial studies how epidural pain relief during vaginal labor may affect a child’s early brain and development. It’s for first-time, term pregnancies where you plan a vaginal birth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–35 - NCT04952870Recruiting
Study breathing treatment and early immunity in newborns after COVID
This study looks at how newborns’ bodies are affected by COVID-19 around birth and whether a breathing support treatment (inhaled nitric oxide) changes outcomes. It also compares COVID-exposed babies and a similar group of babies without COVID who are not receiving the breathing treatment.
LilleAges Up to 3 months - NCT03307317Recruiting
Testing brain signaling in infants at early risk
This study looks at how the brain “mirrors” or responds to actions, with the goal of finding early signs of neurodevelopmental disorders. It includes healthy adults and infants, and infants who may be at risk, to compare brain patterns early on.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 9 months–65 years - NCT07203469Recruiting
Nature and activity groups for neurodivergent children
This trial explores whether group activities in nature can help neurodivergent children and youth feel better. It is part of a PhD project, with different phases for different groups.
Kristiansand, AgderAges 5–18 - NCT06666777Recruiting
Speech therapy and parenting for early communication skills
This study tests a program that combines speech therapy with parenting support to help young children with developmental delays improve their communication and social skills. It is designed for children aged 6 months to 5 years who have developmental challenges, and their parents.
Como, ComoAges 6 months–4.9 years - NCT00271622Recruiting
Screening test for child or adult brain and behavior patterns
This study uses a structured check-up to learn about how someone’s thinking, behavior, and development may differ from typical patterns. It involves an interview and possibly medical, nervous-system, and blood or urine tests to understand what kinds of issues might be present.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month+ - NCT05996211Recruiting
Swiss Study on Brain Development in Children with Heart Defects
This study follows children with severe heart problems born recently to see how their brain development progresses. It helps doctors understand what support these children might need as they grow.
BernAges 1 week–1 month - NCT05754567Recruiting
Study brain and development outcomes in CONCEPTT kids
This study looks at children’s neurodevelopment (how the brain, learning, and development are going) whose mothers took part in the earlier CONCEPTT trial. It may help researchers understand how having type 1 diabetes in pregnancy can relate to a child’s development.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neurodevelopmental disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 95 recruiting neurodevelopmental disorders 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 neurodevelopmental disorders 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 neurodevelopmental disorders 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.
