Brain inflammation and imaging in older adults at risk for dementia
This study looks at how changes in the brain (like inflammation) relate to thinking and memory decline in older adults. It uses brain scans and computer tools to find early signs of dementia risk, with the goal of better preventing memory loss.
PisaAges 65–89 - NCT07471984Enrolling by invitation
Checking how AI reads brain scans for better diagnosis
This study tests a new AI tool to see if it can help doctors better understand brain MRI and CT scans. It may find issues like strokes, bleeding, tumors, or injuries.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT02945774Recruiting
Brain imaging study of inflammation in frontotemporal dementia
This study uses brain scans to look for signs of inflammation in people with probable frontotemporal dementia, and in healthy volunteers for comparison. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the brain and how it changes over time.
London, OntarioAges 30–95 - NCT07340554Recruiting
Brain imaging study for teens who use cannabis
This study looks at the brains of teenagers who use cannabis using an MRI scanner. It aims to understand how cannabis affects the developing brain, which might help improve treatment options.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 14–17 - NCT05470088Recruiting
MRI study of people with autism, their relatives, and controls
This study uses an MRI scan to better understand brain differences in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and compares them with their relatives and people without ASD. It mainly helps researchers connect brain findings with genetics and background health information.
Gif-sur-YvetteAges 2 years+ - NCT06874231Recruiting
Brain connectivity marker for Alzheimer's disease
This study uses brain scans to find a marker for Alzheimer's disease. It is looking for people with normal memory, mild memory problems, or mild Alzheimer's, and who can undergo a spinal tap and MRI.
Stockholm, SolnaAges 40–85 - NCT07294092RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain imaging study of ketamine and propofol
This study uses MRI scans to see how two common sedatives, ketamine and propofol, affect brain activity. It may help explain how these drugs work differently in the brain.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–59 - NCT07290205RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Remimazolam brain imaging study
This study uses brain scans to see how a new sedative called remimazolam affects the brain in healthy adults. It will help researchers understand the drug's effects and ensure it's safe.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–59 - NCT07278505RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBD and brain imaging study for young adults with stress
This trial tests whether cannabidiol (CBD), a compound from cannabis, can help reduce stress in young adults who have experienced early-life adversity. You will have brain scans and take CBD or a placebo to see how it affects your stress and anxiety.
New York, New YorkAges 18–25 - NCT05460143Recruiting
Optical brain scanning to study memory and thinking
This study uses brain “optical” and possibly MRI scans to understand how thinking and memory work in people with Lewy body dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, or mild memory problems. It may help researchers find better ways to measure brain changes and cognition over time.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT07207239Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression
This trial is testing a type of brain stimulation therapy called theta-burst rTMS to see if it helps with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It also uses brain scans to predict who might respond best.
Budapest, Pest CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07190326Recruiting
Massage therapy for healthy adults: a brain-imaging study
This study tests how massage affects the brain by measuring brain activity with MRI scans. It may help us understand how massage can improve well-being.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–64 - NCT06950099Recruiting
Advanced Brain Scans for IIH Patients Planning Stenting
This study uses advanced brain scans (MRIs) to look at the veins in your brain to help plan a stenting procedure for patients with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) that is not improving with standard care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–55 - NCT06183658Recruiting

Study of brain stimulation in healthy adults
This study uses a safe form of brain stimulation (TMS) combined with brain imaging to see how the brain's prefrontal area responds differently in healthy people. It may help researchers understand brain function better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neuroimaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 63 recruiting neuroimaging 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 neuroimaging 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 neuroimaging 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.
