Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- NCT05236010Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus cognitive training for mild TBI memory and thinking
This trial studies whether brain stimulation through the scalp can improve cognitive (thinking and memory) training in people with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants train on thinking tasks while receiving a targeted “control network neuromodulation” approach to see if it enhances training results.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–59 - NCT07103200Recruiting
Decision-making fatigue after traumatic brain injury
This study looks at how making decisions can feel more tiring after a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury compared to people without a brain injury. It uses computer tasks to measure fatigue.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04855396Recruiting
Study of blood markers during hyperbaric oxygen brain injury care
This trial looks at blood “biomarkers,” or lab measurements, while people receive hyperbaric oxygen treatment for brain injury as part of the main HOBIT study. It may help researchers understand who benefits and why by improving how treatment responses are tracked.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 16–65 - NCT05205174Recruiting
Check a scalp sensor to detect brain swelling after injury
This study tests whether a sensor on the scalp can detect a wave of abnormal electrical activity in the brain after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The goal is to help clinicians monitor and possibly treat dangerous pressure build-up in the brain.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT05327829RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a brain-stimulation approach after concussion recovery
This early study tests whether a brain-stimulation method can help after recovery from a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), sometimes called concussion. It also may include healthy volunteers to compare safety and computer-based brain measures.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06413173Recruiting
Remote brain stimulation for attention after mild TBI
This trial tests if a remote brain stimulation device can improve attention and concentration in active-duty service members who have had a mild traumatic brain injury. Participants use the device at home while completing tasks to help with daily focus.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–60 - NCT04867317RecruitingPhase 3
Growth hormone treatment for veterans with mild TBI and deficiency
This Phase 3 study tests whether replacing growth hormone in veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and low adult growth hormone can improve quality of life. If you qualify, you’ll be screened with hormone blood tests and memory/mental health checks before starting treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–55 - NCT02407028RecruitingPhase 2
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for severe traumatic brain injury
This Phase 2 trial studies whether breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber can improve outcomes after a severe traumatic brain injury. It is mainly for people with very low consciousness levels soon after injury, with careful safety checks.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 16–65 - NCT03321370Recruiting
Study of brain swelling after severe head injury surgery
This trial looks at changes in brain activity after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) when patients need emergency skull surgery. The goal is to better understand what happens in the brain after surgery and whether earlier recognition could help care after injury.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05628207Recruiting
Test of an acceptable care-scaling plan for people with brain injury
This trial looks at a care approach to see if it is acceptable and workable for adults admitted to the hospital with a traumatic brain injury. It may help improve how care is scaled and delivered after TBI.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07246993Recruiting
Brain training for ongoing symptoms after concussion
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people with persistent memory or thinking problems after a mild concussion. You will use a smartphone app and may receive active or placebo stimulation over several sessions.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT07332299Recruiting
Brain stimulation and training for seniors with TBI
This study tests if a wearable brain stimulation device (tDCS) combined with computer-based training can improve attention and concentration in older veterans with a history of mild brain injury. It involves several sessions from home using a headset and computer.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 65 years+ - NCT06999304Enrolling by invitation
Pilot TMS for ongoing mild concussion symptoms
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help people with ongoing symptoms after a mild concussion. If you have had concussion symptoms for at least a month but less than a year, you may be able to join.

What taking part in a traumatic brain injury study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there traumatic brain injury clinical trials in Minnesota?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 13 recruiting traumatic brain injury studies with a site in Minnesota, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a traumatic brain injury study in Minnesota?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Minnesota to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Minnesota, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a traumatic brain injury trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New traumatic brain injury studies open in Minnesota regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
