Recruiting studies
- NCT05617014Enrolling by invitation
ADNI4 study for early Alzheimer’s with brain imaging tests
This study enrolls people with no memory impairment, mild memory problems, or mild Alzheimer’s dementia to test how brain scans and cognitive tests relate to Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by contributing to better early diagnosis and by letting you see whether you fit into the study’s imaging and blood-test pathway.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 55–90 - NCT05576103Recruiting
Study of brain tumor thinking and MRI during radiation
This study follows adults with a primary brain tumor to understand how thinking skills and brain images change over time during radiation therapy. It may help researchers measure treatment effects and better track brain changes.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT04166526Recruiting
Brain and brain-vessel MRI study in kids with sickle cell
This study uses MRI scans to understand how the brain and blood vessels are affected in children with sickle cell disease, including before and after certain treatments. It also includes healthy children for comparison and may help improve future monitoring and care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–18 - NCT05482906Recruiting
Smartphone and MRI study for people with multiple sclerosis
This study looks at how information from a brain/spinal MRI and a smartphone relates to walking and daily function in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers understand what signals predict changes over time.
Nantes, Loire-AtlantiqueAges 18 years+ - NCT05445180Recruiting
Brain scan study of thinking in cannabis users with psychosis
This study uses brain imaging to understand how thinking works in people who use cannabis, comparing those with psychosis to people without psychosis. It may help researchers learn what brain patterns relate to thinking difficulties and how cannabis use fits in.
Montreal, QuebecAges 16–80 - NCT05447325Recruiting
Brain scans to study vaping to smoking risk
This study uses brain imaging to better predict who might start smoking cigarettes and who might increase nicotine use among young adult e-cigarette (vaping) users. It may help researchers find early warning signals so support can be targeted sooner.
Athens, GeorgiaAges 18–29 - NCT05335668Recruiting
Brain scan study of pain changes after stroke
This study looks at how brain wiring changes in people who have central post-stroke pain. It uses clinical checks and detailed brain scans (including a 7T MRI) to understand what may be driving the pain and how the brain changes over time.
BernAges 18–75 - NCT05268341Recruiting
MRI study of language therapy changes in children
This study uses MRI pictures to see how a language-focused treatment may change the brain in children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). It’s for children who have typical speech, social skills, and hearing, but specifically struggle with expressive grammar.
Cincinati, OhioAges 4 years–5.9 years - NCT05232032RecruitingPhase 2
Brain scan and medication study for avoiding versus approaching
This Phase 2 study looks at how a medication affects brain activity and real-life mood or anxiety behaviors. It includes people with major depression or several anxiety disorders and also healthy volunteers, using questionnaires, a smartphone, and brain imaging.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT04810858Recruiting
Study how chronic marijuana affects brain inflammation in HIV
This study looks at whether ongoing marijuana use changes “brain inflammation” and brain cell injury in people living with HIV. It may help researchers understand potential risks or protective effects and how treatment and brain health interact.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 25–59 - NCT04579120Recruiting
Brain scan study in healthy aging or early Alzheimer’s
This study uses brain imaging to understand changes in the brain during normal aging and early Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It may help researchers spot early brain changes and evaluate how well imaging measures those changes.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04370730Recruiting
Study brain and symptoms in youth with early psychosis
This study looks at how psychosis symptoms and development change over time in children and teens. It may help doctors better understand different patterns of illness and how to support young people with these disorders.
GentillyAges 7–20 - NCT03872102Recruiting
Brain imaging study to track Parkinson-related disease changes
This study uses brain scans and clinical check-ins to better diagnose and predict how Parkinson-related conditions may progress over time. It may help researchers find markers that explain why symptoms change, and could improve future care.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT03618186Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Brain scan study for African Americans age 30+
This Phase 2 study uses brain imaging (including PET and MRI) to learn more about brain changes. It may help researchers improve how brain patterns are measured and understood, which could guide future care.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 30 years+ - NCT02535702Recruiting
Brain scan study to measure addiction biology
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and tasks to better understand what’s happening in the brain in addiction. It may help researchers improve how addiction is studied and measured using brain-based methods.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+

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.
