Recruiting studies
- NCT06649058RecruitingPhase 2
Study on combining drugs and radiation for brain metastases
This trial is for people with cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). It tests a new approach where you start a systemic therapy (drugs that travel through your body) and later add focused radiation to the brain tumors, instead of treating them right away. The goal is to see if this sequence works well and avoids unnecessary side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06901466RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinner study after heart valve repair
This study tests different ways to use blood thinners after a minimally invasive heart valve repair procedure. It may help patients who need long-term blood thinning to prevent clots or stroke.

Blood thinner study after heart valve repair
This trial tests different blood-thinning medicines after a mitral valve repair procedure (TEER) in people who do not need long-term blood thinners. It aims to find the safest and most effective strategy to prevent blood clots.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07290842Recruiting
Dietary nitrate for high blood pressure kidney injury
This study tests whether a natural substance found in leafy greens (dietary nitrate) can help protect the kidneys of people with high blood pressure and early kidney damage. It may offer a simple dietary way to slow kidney disease.
HerningAges 18–70 - NCT07669168Recruiting
Health study comparing usual care vs. extra support

tDCS training to reduce cannabis use in people with schizophrenia
This trial tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation method (tDCS) can help people with schizophrenia who also have moderate-to-severe cannabis use disorder reduce or quit cannabis. It also involves MRI scanning to help study brain changes.
BronAges 18–60 - NCT07333222Recruiting
Testing a suit to help movement after stroke or MS
This study tests whether wearing a special suit (Mollii) that sends gentle electrical pulses to the body can help improve movement, balance, and daily life for people who have had a stroke or have multiple sclerosis. The suit is meant to calm overactive muscles and help you move better.
Kaposvár, Somogy CountyAges 18–99 - NCT06666881Recruiting
Exercise training for head and neck cancer patients
This trial studies if exercise training can improve outcomes for people with head and neck squamous cell cancer who need chemotherapy and radiation. It uses body scans to see if muscle changes from exercise are linked to better prognosis.
New Taipei CityAges 20–80 - NCT06033300Recruiting
Blood cell clumps in heparin-induced low platelets
This study looks at how blood cells clump together in patients who may have heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), a condition where heparin causes a drop in platelets. It aims to better understand the disease and improve diagnosis.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04120714Recruiting
tDCS brain stimulation for problematic internet gaming use
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation method (tDCS) can help teens or adults reduce problematic internet gaming. It’s designed for people who meet diagnostic criteria for “pathological use of internet gaming.”
DijonAges 12 years+ - NCT06934564Recruiting
Cutting unnecessary tests before low-risk surgeries
This study helps surgical teams cut down on unnecessary tests before common low-risk surgeries, like breast lump removal, gallbladder removal, or hernia repair. It aims to improve patient care by reducing extra, unneeded procedures.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04877197Recruiting
Home telehealth coaching to improve mood after heart hospitalization
This Phase 3 study tests a home-based telehealth program (behavioral activation coaching) to improve functioning in people who recently left the hospital after a heart-related event and also have major depression. It may help you feel more able to do everyday activities and better manage depression symptoms.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT04023019Recruiting
Hemophilia A trial for people with FVIII inhibitors
This trial studies a treatment approach for people with hemophilia A who develop antibodies (inhibitors) that block clotting factor FVIII. It may help those whose usual FVIII therapy is not working because of these inhibitors.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Any age - NCT04806568Recruiting
Cognitive training to help brain flexibility in multiple sclerosis
This study tests whether structured cognitive exercises can improve “neuroplasticity,” meaning how flexible and changeable the brain is. It includes people with multiple sclerosis and healthy volunteers, and uses tasks plus brain scans to see what changes over time.
Thessaloniki, Central MacedoniaAges 18–65 - NCT05040711Recruiting
Mindfulness app for serious illness patients and caregivers
This study tests whether a mindfulness training delivered through a phone or tablet can help people and their caregivers cope with serious illness. You may be eligible if you’re 60 or older (as a patient) or an adult caregiver, and if simple screening questionnaires suggest you could benefit.
Livingston, New JerseyAges 21 years+ - NCT05470790Recruiting
Arabic questionnaire study for ACL knee injury athletes
This study uses Arabic versions of questionnaires to measure knee control and sports cutting/pivoting ability after a one-sided ACL (knee ligament) injury. It may help researchers better evaluate recovery and readiness for sports in Arabic-speaking athletes.
Dammam, Eastern ProvinceAges 18–45 - NCT05680220Recruiting
40 Hz light therapy for adults with depression
This trial studies whether daily 40 Hz light stimulation can reduce symptoms of major depression. You’d use a light device for about an hour each day for 6 weeks, while researchers track changes in depression severity.
Copenhagen, DenmarkAges 18–75 - NCT06561451Recruiting
Comparing two IVF methods for severe sperm shape issues
This trial compares two lab techniques (ICSI alone vs. ICSI with AOA) to see which leads to more live births for couples where the male partner has very abnormal sperm shape (99-100% abnormal). The study focuses on women aged 20-37 who are undergoing fertility treatment.
ShanghaiAges 20–37 - NCT06864546Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for patient activation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 443 recruiting patient activation 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 patient activation 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 patient activation 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.
