Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - NCT07460037Recruiting
Brain signal study for speech recovery after stroke or injury
This trial uses a special brain-mapping test called high-density ECoG to study how people who have lost speech due to stroke, brain tumor, or ALS can be helped by reading brain signals when they imagine speaking. It may lead to new devices that let people with severe speech problems communicate using only their thoughts.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 20–80 - NCT06880731Recruiting
Training inner speech in children with language disorder
This study tests a program to help children with developmental language disorder improve their inner speech. It compares them to children with typical language development to see if the training helps with language skills.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–10 - NCT06561919Recruiting
Speech and language study during brain stimulation treatment
This is an extra part of the STIMPulseControl study that focuses on speech. It looks at how the brain stimulation treatment affects your ability to speak clearly and communicate.
CologneAges 18–70 - NCT06950437Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy for language in children with autism
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called aiTBS, guided by brain scans, to help improve language in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is for children aged 3 to 6.5 years who have language delays and speak Mandarin.
BeijingAges 3–6 - NCT07438639Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality language help for kids with language delay
This study tests whether virtual reality games can help preschool children with language delay improve their speaking and understanding skills. It is designed for children ages 3 to 6 with a language disorder but without other major health problems.
MessinaAges 3–8 - NCT05443633Recruiting
Brain and speech training for people with aphasia
This study looks at ways to improve language (speaking and understanding) for people with aphasia caused by stroke or dementia, using MRI to study brain function. It may help by testing language-focused approaches and how brain activity changes during treatment.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 21–80 - NCT07354139Recruiting
Can brain stimulation help adults who stutter speak more fluently?
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce speech errors in adults who have stuttered since childhood. If you are 22 or older, speak English as your main language, and have developmental stuttering, you may be able to join.
Richardson, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT06088589Recruiting
Speech-in-noise in autism and fragile x
This study measures how well people with autism or fragile X syndrome perceive speech in noisy settings, compared to typically developing individuals. It uses EEG to understand brain activity during listening tasks.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 15–35 - NCT07531706Recruiting
How Babies' Brains Process Speech Sounds
This study measures how 7–8-month-old babies' brains respond to spoken language. Researchers want to understand early brain development and predict which babies might have language challenges later, especially those with a family history of language or learning difficulties.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 7 months–8 months - NCT06666777Recruiting
Speech therapy and parenting for early communication skills
This study tests a program that combines speech therapy with parenting support to help young children with developmental delays improve their communication and social skills. It is designed for children aged 6 months to 5 years who have developmental challenges, and their parents.
Como, ComoAges 6 months–4.9 years - NCT07054866Recruiting
Rural autistic kids & language support study
This study is for autistic children or those with language delays, as well as their siblings or cousins, living in rural areas. It aims to help them express themselves better. Typically-developing children are also welcome as a comparison group.
Bozeman, MontanaAges 2 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 - NCT05066178Recruiting
Speech therapy for children with autism who speak very little
This study tests a speech treatment plan for children on the autism spectrum who currently speak very little. It aims to improve speech clarity and ability to repeat sounds, but only if the child’s home language environment and participation needs fit the study rules.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 5–18 - NCT07136636Recruiting
Speech development in kids treated for brain injury at birth
This study looks at how children who had a brain injury around birth (HIE) and received cooling therapy are developing speech. It may help families understand language outcomes after this treatment.
BudapestAges birth–7 years - NCT06902610Recruiting
Reading skills study for children with learning difficulties
This study looks at whether a special computer training program (DMD Poppins) can help improve reading and writing skills in children with specific learning disabilities. It compares a group that gets the computer training plus speech therapy to a group that gets only speech therapy.
ParisAges 7–11 - NCT04680130Enrolling by invitation
Study of brain, genetics, and clinical symptoms in neurodegenerative illness
This study looks at how your symptoms, brain imaging (MRI), and genetic factors relate to neurodegenerative conditions. It may help researchers better understand what causes these illnesses and how to classify them.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 21 years+ - NCT07560696Recruiting
Web-based therapy for thinking and speech after illness
This study tests whether patients recovering from serious illness in the ICU or stroke ward can use a web-based platform called Cognishine to help rebuild their thinking skills and speech ability.

- How do I know if I qualify for a speech disorders 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 speech disorders 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.
