This study tests whether using virtual reality neurofeedback can help teens with migraine. You would wear a VR headset and learn to control your brain's activity to reduce headache frequency.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 10–16 - NCT07389486Recruiting
Training your brain with real-time feedback
This study tests whether continuous or intermittent real-time brain training can help you learn to control activity in a key area of your brain called the insula. It is for healthy adults who want to see if they can change their brain activity through neurofeedback.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–30 - NCT07364084Recruiting
Brain training for imagined social support
This trial uses real-time brain imaging (MRI) to train a part of your brain linked to imagining social support. It is for healthy volunteers who want to see if they can learn to control their brain activity.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–35 - NCT07325370Recruiting
Brain training with feedback for anxiety in pregnancy loss
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain training method (neurofeedback) can help women with recurrent pregnancy loss who also have anxiety. It aims to improve heart rate regulation and reduce anxiety using a closed-loop system that gives you real-time feedback.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–45 - NCT06866028Recruiting
Brain training to improve emotion regulation using fNIRS feedback
This trial uses a brain imaging technique called fNIRS (a safe, non-invasive headband) to give you real-time feedback on your brain activity. The goal is to help you learn to improve your emotion regulation. It may be helpful if you have no major mental health conditions and want to try a new way to manage emotions.
Hong KongAges 18–30 - NCT07159061Recruiting
Brain training for depression using neurofeedback
This study tests whether a brain training technique called neurofeedback can help treat depression. By showing your brain activity in real time on a screen, you may learn to control the brain patterns linked to depression and feel better.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT07122739Recruiting
Using brain training to reduce fear return
This study tests if a brain training technique called neurofeedback can help reduce the return of fear after it has faded. It may help people who spontaneously recall a learned threat, and uses MRI to monitor brain activity.
Princeton, New JerseyAges 18–50 - NCT07041073Recruiting
Brain training for emotion control in depression
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain training technique called neurofeedback can help people with major depression improve how they manage emotions. You participate by doing computer tasks while your brain activity is measured and shown back to you, teaching you to regulate your emotions better.
Sabadell, Barcelona, CataluñaAges 18–65 - NCT06969937RecruitingPhase 2
Ketamine and Neurofeedback for Alcohol Use Disorder

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neurofeedback?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 76 recruiting neurofeedback 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 neurofeedback 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 neurofeedback 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.
