Recruiting studies
- NCT06473207Recruiting
Can a blood pressure cuff protect the brain after cardiac arrest?
This trial tests if a special blood pressure cuff (like a tourniquet) placed on the leg can protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for patients who are unconscious and on a breathing machine after their heart restarts.
Toulon, VarAges 18 years+ - NCT06653387Recruiting
Testing a new carotid stent with blood-flow reversal for high-risk patients
This trial tests a new carotid stent system used with a special blood-flow reversal device to treat blocked carotid arteries. It is for people with high-risk conditions who might not be good candidates for traditional open surgery, and aims to see if the stent is safe and effective in preventing strokes.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–79 - NCT06665113Recruiting
Ear nerve stimulation for early Parkinson's disease
This trial tests whether a non-invasive nerve stimulation device (taVNS) worn on the ear can protect brain cells and slow Parkinson's disease progression in early-stage patients. It is for people who have been diagnosed within the last 3 years and are already on standard medication.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 55–75 - NCT06744361RecruitingPhase 2
Ketamine after cardiac arrest to protect the brain
This trial tests whether the sedative drug ketamine, given after a cardiac arrest, can help protect the brain. It's for people whose heart stopped outside the hospital due to a shockable rhythm and who needed a breathing tube placed by emergency responders.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07001150RecruitingPhase 2
Silymarin for nerve protection and symptom control in Parkinson's
This trial tests if silymarin, a natural plant extract, can help protect nerves and improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease who are already taking dopamine replacement therapy. It aims to see if adding silymarin can provide extra benefits.
Tanta, Tanta, Qism 2Ages 45–65 - NCT07048002Recruiting
Silent brain infarct and cognitive decline after heart surgery
This trial tests a bundle of interventions to prevent silent brain infarctions (small 'silent' strokes) and thinking problems after heart or blood vessel surgery with a heart-lung machine. If you are 60 or older and having such surgery, this study may help protect your brain health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 60 years+ - NCT07119021RecruitingPhase 4
Ultra-early stroke treatment with neuroprotection and clot removal
This trial tests a new approach for treating acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting. It combines a special mobile stroke unit that delivers early brain-protecting medicine with standard clot-busting or clot-removal procedures, to see if this can improve recovery.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07135089RecruitingPhase 3
Tirofiban before clot removal for large artery stroke
This trial tests whether adding a clot-preventing medication called tirofiban before a mechanical clot removal procedure can improve recovery in people with a certain type of stroke. It's for those with a large artery blockage in the front part of the brain who are able to start the procedure within 12 hours.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07167446RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CBD to prevent nerve damage from oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer
This trial tests if cannabidiol (CBD) can prevent nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin. If you have colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and you are about to start oxaliplatin, you may be able to join.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07181564Recruiting
Anesthesia methods and safety in sinus surgery
This trial compares different anesthesia techniques during functional endoscopic sinus surgery to see which one protects the brain best and improves the surgical field. It may help patients understand the safest approach for their procedure.
Pátrai, AchaiaAges 18–90 - NCT07322965Recruiting
Citicoline and DHA supplement for glaucoma patients
This trial tests whether a dietary supplement (DHA + citicoline) can help protect vision in people with glaucoma. You may qualify if you have confirmed glaucoma in at least one eye and are between 50 and 75 years old.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 50–75 - NCT02621944RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Melatonin for newborns with brain injury after oxygen problems
This early study tests whether giving melatonin to newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (brain injury from not enough oxygen around birth) can help protect the brain while they are cooled (therapeutic hypothermia). It may be most relevant if your baby shows early brain-injury signs and meets specific blood test and birth-history timing criteria.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Up to 6 hours

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neuroprotection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 36 recruiting neuroprotection 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 neuroprotection 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 neuroprotection 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.
