Recruiting studies

Cochlear-like implant to help balance in older adults
This study tests a surgically placed implant aimed at improving balance and eye-stabilizing reflexes in older adults who have long-lasting, hard-to-treat inner-ear balance problems. You may be able to help researchers learn whether the device plus training can reduce dizziness and improve movement stability.

Probiotic and fiber supplement for mild memory problems
This trial studies whether a daily supplement containing a probiotic and a fiber called inulin can improve mild cognitive impairment (mild memory/thinking difficulties) in older adults. If you have mild cognitive impairment (not dementia), you may be asked to take the supplement and be monitored over time.
Mexico CityAges 70–85 - NCT05700058Recruiting
Testing how different Super-whey doses affect muscle growth
This study checks how different doses of “Super-whey” influence muscle protein building in adults. It may help figure out the best whey dose for building muscle, especially in older adults.
DerbyAges 65–85 - NCT05710809Recruiting
Exercise and health check study for older colorectal cancer patients
This trial looks at sarcopenia (loss of muscle strength/size) and vertigo (feeling dizzy or off-balance) in older adults with colorectal cancer. It tests whether a structured, exercise-based approach can help these issues alongside cancer care.
CopenhagenAges 65 years+ - NCT05725668Recruiting
Dual-task exercise to help prevent falls in memory trouble
This study tests a type of exercise training (doing a physical task while also doing a thinking task) to help older adults with mild memory problems prevent falls. If you have fallen before or have trouble with balance, this program may help you improve safety and coordination.
Springfield, OregonAges 65–95 - NCT05754151Recruiting
Mobile therapy for anxiety and depression in adults 40+
This trial tests whether a phone or tablet version of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help people ages 40 and older with anxiety or depression. It may help you manage symptoms with skills you can use between sessions.
New York, New YorkAges 40 years+ - NCT05761860RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Oxytocin to lower opioid misuse risk and pain in older adults
This early-phase study tests whether oxytocin (a hormone-like medication) can reduce how “appealing” opioids feel and also reduce pain. It’s aimed at older adults who have used opioids before but are not currently dealing with chronic pain most days.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 45–85 - NCT05771844Recruiting
Home sleep treatment for older adults with memory changes
This study tests whether a home sleep therapy program can improve symptoms in older adults who have amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or help compare to people without MCI. It may be useful if your main issue is memory or thinking changes and you also have sleep problems.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 40–85 - NCT05786417RecruitingPhase 4
Medication comparison for older adults with stable heart pain
This trial tests which heart medications work best for older adults who have stable angina (predictable chest pain) and multiple other long-term health problems. You may be asked to start or adjust medications and attend regular follow-up visits to see which approach controls symptoms and outcomes.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 65 years+ - NCT05788666Recruiting
GeriKit check-up for older adults after heart artery problems
This trial tests a “GeriKit” set of questions and measurements to better understand health and needs in people age 75+ after a heart attack or related procedures. It may help doctors plan more personalized care during recovery.
New York, New YorkAges 75–100 - NCT05790720Recruiting
Propofol dosing study for older adults
This study looks at how the anesthetic drug propofol works in older adults during planned surgeries. The goal is to find the right dose for safe and effective anesthesia.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 65–99 - NCT05825989Recruiting
Healthy beat acupressure for older adults’ fitness at home
This trial studies whether a “healthy beat” acupressure-like technique (healthy beat acupunch) can improve physical fitness in older adults living in residential homes. It may help people who are able to exercise safely but want to improve strength, movement, and overall fitness.
Bang Khae, BangkokAges 65 years+ - NCT05830942Recruiting
Training walks plus brain stimulation for thinking skills in older adults
This study tests whether a structured walking exercise, combined with brain stimulation and brain scans, can improve or slow decline in thinking skills. It’s aimed at older adults who notice memory or confusion getting worse.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 65 years+ - NCT05862779Recruiting
Omega-3 and whey for muscle strength in postmenopausal women
This study tests whether taking omega-3 and whey protein supplements helps older, postmenopausal women build or keep lean muscle (less fat, more muscle). It also checks safety, especially for heart and kidney health, while you follow a strength-exercise plan.
Uberlândia, Minas GeraisAges 60–85 - NCT05886725Recruiting
At-home walking test to help recovery after major surgery
This study looks at how a simple at-home walking pattern test, done before and after major surgery, relates to how older adults recover. It may help doctors better understand recovery and possibly tailor support after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 60 years+ - NCT05912257Recruiting
Nutrition program before and after surgery to protect function
This study tests whether an “optimizing nutrition” plan before and after cancer surgery can help older adults maintain physical strength and daily functioning. You may be randomly assigned to the nutrition program or another study group, and you’ll be asked about diet and physical function.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 55 years+ - NCT05935241Recruiting

Baltimore, MarylandAges 65 years+ - NCT05955339Recruiting
Using visit recordings and open notes to improve care experience
This study tests two ways of sharing what happened at clinic visits—recording visits and using an “open notes” patient portal—to help older adults manage long-term health conditions with a better experience. It’s likely to help if you have multiple chronic conditions and can use email or a patient portal.
Manchester, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05963113Recruiting
Exercise and extra protein for swallowing and aging strength
This study tests whether a swallowing exercise program plus a higher-protein intake can improve function in older adults at risk for swallowing problems. It may help by strengthening muscles used for swallowing and supporting overall physical health.

- How do I know if I qualify for a older adults 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 older adults 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.
