Recruiting studies
- NCT06886945Recruiting
Early detection of psychiatric disorders using brain tests
This study uses brain tests (like hearing and vision tasks) to detect early signs of psychiatric disorders, specifically in people with schizophrenia. If you have schizophrenia and are in stable health, you may help researchers learn how to catch mental health changes earlier.
Brescia, BSAges 18–50 - NCT06595953RecruitingPhase 2

This study tests if adding a special music therapy that responds to where your child looks during cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help reduce anxiety better than CBT alone. It is designed for children 8–17 with separation, generalized, or social anxiety.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–17 - NCT06538675Enrolling by invitation

Levanger, TrøndelagAges 18–99 - NCT04191811Recruiting
Using brain signals to predict CBT success for mood or sleep issues
This study tests whether brain measurements can help predict who will benefit from a type of talk therapy called CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). If you have depression, social anxiety, or insomnia, your brain “response variability” may be used to personalize or improve treatment planning.

Blood tests study immune and metabolism markers in neurodevelopment
This study looks for biological “signals” in blood—related to the immune system and metabolism—to better understand conditions like autism and other brain or development-related disorders. It may help researchers find markers that could guide future diagnosis or treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07740356Recruiting
A quick mental health check during your psychiatry visit
This study asks adult patients seeing a psychiatrist to fill out short questionnaires during their visit, to better understand brief moments of suicidal thoughts.

Therapy program to reduce self-stigma in mental health
This study looks at how a program may help people with long-term mental health conditions feel less shame about their diagnosis (self-stigma). It is meant for adults who are stable enough to participate and who speak French.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT03811964Recruiting
Test how light affects your sleep, mood, nerves, and vision
This study uses a light-based test (the “photomotor reflex”) to see how non-visual effects of light may affect sleep-wake timing, brain function, mental health, and eyesight. You may be assigned to a group based on your condition, or you may be in the healthy control group.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06005766Recruiting
Metacognitive skills training in forensic psychiatric care
This study tests if a specialized training program can help people with psychosis (like schizophrenia) who are in forensic psychiatric care. The training focuses on improving how you think about your own thoughts, which may help you manage symptoms better.
VaasaAges 18 years+ - NCT06823024Enrolling by invitation
Using speech patterns to predict treatment response in depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder
This study tests if a computer algorithm can analyze your speech to predict how well you will respond to treatments like TMS or Spravato. It aims to create a simple tool that helps doctors choose the right treatment for you.
Sunnyvale, CaliforniaAges 18–68 - NCT05560581Recruiting
Digital skills training during the psychotherapy wait
This trial tests a phone-based program designed to help you feel more able to cope while you wait to start psychiatric assessment or treatment. It may help bridge the gap during waiting times by teaching practical self-management skills.

You may qualify if you have certain conditions like Long COVID, migraines, autoimmune disease, inflammatory gut issues, mood disorders, or if you are a healthy comparison person.
Delafield, WisconsinAges 2 years+ - NCT07741981Recruiting
Biological markers for treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders
This study looks for biological markers in the blood or spinal fluid that might predict how well a new psychiatric treatment will work. If you have a psychiatric condition that hasn't improved with previous treatments, this research could help find better ways to match treatments to individuals in the future.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07216534Recruiting

Genome sequencing for unusual psychiatric conditions
This study uses trio genome sequencing (comparing DNA from you and both of your parents) to find genetic causes for psychiatric disorders that start early, are hard to treat, or have an unusual pattern. It may help if you or your child have a mental health condition without intellectual disability or birth defects.

- How do I know if I qualify for a psychiatric disorder 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 psychiatric disorder 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.
