BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT02098252Recruiting
Study for treating brain blood vessel malformations (AVMs)
This study is looking at treatment options for people who have an abnormal cluster of blood vessels in the brain (an AVM). It may help participants by offering a structured treatment approach, depending on the AVM type and recent symptoms.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 5 years+ - NCT07752251Enrolling by invitation
Subscalp heart monitor for brain surgery patients
This study tests a small heart monitor placed under the scalp during brain surgery to see if it can safely track heart rhythms. It may help doctors monitor patients more closely after surgery.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT05824338RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing ropivacaine spinal anesthesia for lower back surgery
This early study tests whether using ropivacaine (a local numbing medicine) in spinal anesthesia is safe and workable for certain lower back operations. If you qualify, it may help doctors refine anesthesia choices for your type of surgery.
New Westminster, British ColumbiaAges 19–80 - NCT05968053Recruiting
Testing microplastics detection in neurosurgery patients
This study checks whether microplastics and nanoplastics can be detected in people undergoing neurosurgery. If it works, it could help doctors better understand possible material exposures around brain and nerve procedures.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06627426Recruiting
Virtual reality for helping patients understand brain surgery
This trial uses virtual reality to help you better understand your upcoming brain surgery, such as for an aneurysm, abnormal blood vessels, or a tumor. It aims to improve how information is given before surgery.
BaselAges 18–75 - NCT07396025Enrolling by invitation
Study of surgery for blocked carotid arteries
This trial looks at how well surgery and diagnostic tests work for people with a blocked carotid artery (the main artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain). It may help if you have reduced blood flow to part of your brain and are able to understand instructions and communicate.
AstanaAges 18 years+ - NCT06565234Recruiting
Virtual reality for brain surgery planning and training
This study uses virtual reality to help doctors plan, practice, and explain brain surgeries. It may help you understand your procedure better and help your surgical team prepare.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07274397Recruiting
Early brain scan study after glioblastoma surgery
This study tests whether it is safe and possible to do a special brain scan (nuclear imaging) within the first 3 days after surgery for glioblastoma. It may help doctors understand how well the tumor was removed and guide future treatments.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT06894238Recruiting
Can brain waves predict confusion after brain surgery?
This trial uses an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a non-invasive way to measure your brain's electrical activity, to see if it can help predict confusion or delirium after planned brain surgery. The goal is to find out if brain wave patterns can warn doctors early, which might lead to better care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07205263Recruiting
AI-guided minimally invasive surgery for brain bleeding
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery guided by artificial intelligence to treat spontaneous brain bleeding. It aims to improve recovery by precisely removing the clot with less damage to healthy brain tissue.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07200518Recruiting
Probiotics after spine surgery study
This trial tests if taking probiotics after spinal surgery helps recovery. It is for adults with a herniated disc, spinal narrowing, or instability in the lower back or neck.
MariborAges 18 years+ - NCT07046364RecruitingPhase 4
Remimazolam for confusion after pediatric brain surgery
This study tests a medicine called remimazolam to see if it reduces confusion and agitation (emergence delirium) when children wake up from brain surgery. It may help your child have a smoother recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1–6 - NCT06962215Recruiting
Simulation training for paramedics caring for brain tumor patients
This study tests whether training paramedics with realistic simulations can improve the hospital experience for patients with malignant brain tumors. If you are staying in neurosurgery before your diagnosis is confirmed, you may be able to join.
Brest, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06936514Enrolling by invitation
Lymphatic surgery for Alzheimer's: a clinical study
This trial tests a surgery that targets the lymphatic system in the neck to help people with moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if it can improve cognitive function.
TianjinAges 50–80 - NCT06844838Recruiting
Faster, Safer Awakening After Brain Surgery
This study tests a new way of giving anesthesia during elective brain surgery to help you wake up faster and safer. It uses a special monitor to guide the amount of medication so you can recover more quickly.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06541275Enrolling by invitation
Shrinking large brain aneurysms after treatment
This trial looks at how well large or giant brain aneurysms shrink over time after a minimally invasive procedure called endovascular intervention. It may help doctors understand which treatments lead to better long-term results.
AstanaAges 18 years+ - NCT06484374Recruiting
AI-robot guided surgery for large basal ganglia bleeding
This trial tests a new, less invasive brain surgery using a robotic arm guided by artificial intelligence (AI) to remove a large blood clot caused by a hemorrhagic stroke in the basal ganglia. It may be an option for people who can have surgery soon after the stroke and were previously independent.
NanjingAges 18 years+ - NCT06465719Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for moderate brain bleeding
This trial tests if a minimally invasive surgery guided by a robotic AI system can help people with moderate bleeding deep inside the brain (basal ganglia). If you qualify, the surgery would happen within 72 hours of your stroke.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06459427Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for brainstem hemorrhage
This trial tests a new, less invasive surgery using a robot to help guide the doctor to drain blood from a brainstem bleed. It may be an option for people who can have surgery soon after the bleed and who have a certain level of consciousness.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06429332RecruitingPhase 4
Care bundle study for brain bleed on CT scan
This trial is testing a set of standard care steps (a 'care bundle') for people who have a sudden brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) that shows up on a CT scan. It aims to see if this bundle improves recovery and outcomes.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06352710Recruiting
Tracking recovery after brain or spine surgery
This study uses a smartphone app to track how you recover after brain or spine surgery. It helps doctors understand how side effects affect your daily life, so they can improve care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neurosurgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 28 recruiting neurosurgery 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 neurosurgery 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 neurosurgery 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.
