Recruiting studies
- NCT05299749Recruiting
Brain training using real-time fMRI for hearing voices in schizophrenia
This trial tests whether real-time brain imaging “neurofeedback” can help people with schizophrenia who have ongoing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) that haven’t improved with medications. If you qualify, you may complete brain-scanning sessions where you practice changing brain activity while being monitored.

Study how aging affects learning to trust and distrust
This study looks at how thinking and learning processes change with age, especially around deciding what to trust. You may be asked to complete computer tasks and brief memory/thinking tests to understand these changes.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT05617495Recruiting
Mindfulness training with brain scans for depression
This study tests a mindfulness-based program combined with “brain scan feedback” (fMRI neurofeedback) to see if it can help teenagers and young adults with major depression. It may help by teaching skills and tracking brain activity changes during treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 13–18 - NCT05640089Recruiting
Brain training with fMRI feedback for depression
This trial tests whether using real-time brain scan feedback (fMRI neurofeedback) can help reduce depressive symptoms. You may be eligible if you have depression that is still active despite being on antidepressant medicine.
MaastrichtAges 18 years+ - NCT05669027Recruiting
Mobile brain training to help low back pain
This study tests whether mobile “neurofeedback” training can reduce low back pain and improve how much it affects your daily life. You would likely use sensors that measure brain and body signals to guide the training.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–90 - NCT05703256Recruiting
Brain training with feedback to help depression
This trial tests a type of brain training called amygdala neurofeedback to reduce depression symptoms. It may help by teaching your brain patterns to become less “stuck” in depression-related activity.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–55 - NCT05800470Recruiting
Brain-training with light sensors to improve walking in Parkinson’s
This trial tests a “neurofeedback” training program using a special light-sensing cap (fNIRS) to help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may also do guided walking practice mentally (imagery training), and your ability to walk and balance will be measured.
Taipei, None SelectedAges 40–85 - NCT05802446Recruiting
Neurofeedback program for bipolar depression symptoms
This study tests whether “neurofeedback” can reduce leftover (residual) depressive symptoms in people with bipolar I or II. It may help calm mood by training brain activity, alongside stable medication.

Brain training for light sensitivity after mild head injury
This study tests if a type of brain training called neurofeedback can help reduce sensitivity to light in people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury, also known as a concussion, at least 6 months ago.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT06212219Recruiting
EEG brain training to help arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can improve arm movement in people who recently had a stroke. It uses an EEG cap to measure your brain activity while you do arm exercises, helping you relearn how to move your affected arm.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - NCT06240299Recruiting
Neurofeedback for chronic pain in rheumatoid arthritis
This trial tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to see if it can help people with rheumatoid arthritis who also have chronic widespread pain. It uses a computer to show you your brain activity and teach you to control it, which may reduce pain.
Glasgow, ScotlandAges 18–75 - NCT06247306Recruiting
Neurofeedback and stress in alcohol use
This study uses a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to help understand how stress and drinking are linked. You would use your smartphone to participate, and the goal is to find better ways to manage alcohol use.
Mannheim, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–65 - NCT06582355Recruiting
Brain training with MRI for Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help people with Parkinson's disease. You will learn to control certain brain signals while having an MRI scan, which may improve your symptoms.
CologneAges 18 years+ - NCT06603792RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Neurofeedback for diabetic nerve pain
This trial tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes. It is for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who have had moderate-to-severe nerve pain for at least 3 months.
OdenseAges 18–82 - NCT06626789RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brain training to help control emotions in BPD
This study tests whether a brain-training technique (using fMRI to help you learn to control your emotions) can help people with borderline personality disorder who haven't improved with other therapies.
Freiburg im BreisgauAges 18–65 - NCT06748976Recruiting
Brain activity study during attention tasks
This study looks at how your brain controls attention by measuring brain activity while you perform tasks. It may help researchers understand attention better.
Oro Verde, Entre Ríos ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT06770998Recruiting
EEG brain training for PTSD
This study tests a new kind of treatment for PTSD that uses a special brain training system called neurofeedback. You will learn to change your own brain activity in sessions that use EEG sensors on your head, and the goal is to reduce your PTSD symptoms without medication or talk therapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–65 - NCT07211269Recruiting
Brain training study for healthy volunteers
This study uses real-time brain scans (fMRI) to see how people's thinking skills affect their ability to learn to control their own brain activity. It is for healthy individuals who want to help researchers understand brain training.
Chengdu, ChengduAges 18–35 - NCT07234006Recruiting
Mindfulness and neurofeedback to reduce nursing student stress
This study tests whether combining neurofeedback (a technique to train your brain waves) with mindfulness meditation can help nursing students feel less anxious and stressed, and do better in school. You can join if you are a nursing student at the University of Salamanca and are willing to participate.
SalamancaAges 18–45 - NCT07237412Recruiting

Bern, Canton of BernAges 50–70 - NCT07238920Recruiting
Brain training for heart health in people with coronary artery disease and anxiety
This trial tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback, which uses a video game controlled by your brain activity to help your heart and nervous system work better. It is for people with both coronary artery disease and anxiety who want to improve their heart health and manage anxiety without medication.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07244484Recruiting
Brain Training for Heart Health in Coronary Artery Disease with Anxiety
This trial tests a brain training technique (neurofeedback) to help people with coronary artery disease and anxiety. It aims to improve heart rate control by targeting a specific brain area.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07416370Enrolling by invitation
Brain training study for healthy adults
This trial tests two types of brain training techniques to see how they affect your awareness of body signals. It may help you learn to control a specific brain area through mental exercises.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–30 - NCT07149974Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neurofeedback?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 70 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.
