Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05423860Recruiting
HALO prostate study for men with early prostate cancer
This trial studies HALO, a new “human analytics” approach, in men with early-stage prostate cancer. It may help doctors better assess or guide care using MRI and biopsy findings, before or around initial treatment.
Indian Wells, CaliforniaAges 45–90 - NCT05426967Recruiting
Brain stimulation for depression after mild traumatic brain injury
This trial studies a noninvasive brain treatment (rTMS) to reduce depression symptoms in people with past mild traumatic brain injury from military service. It may help by changing brain activity, while also requiring stable mental health care and regular follow-up.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT05682677Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus cognitive training for depression after mild head injury
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and cognitive training can reduce depression symptoms in people who have ongoing mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help by targeting both mood and thinking/processing skills affected after mTBI.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06195345Recruiting
Brain oxygen study for children having an MRI
This study looks at oxygen levels in the brains of children and young adults (birth to 18 years) during a standard MRI. The goal is to learn more about how the brain works, and it only adds a few minutes to your child's regular MRI scan.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1 minute–18 years - NCT06368648Recruiting
Study of a new forehead sensor for brain pressure monitoring
This study tests a new sensor that measures brain pressure from outside the head. It is for people who are already in the hospital getting their brain pressure and blood pressure monitored continuously.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06561100Recruiting
Optimizing treatment for brain-injured warfighters
This trial tests ways to improve treatment for active-duty service members who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and still have symptoms. It aims to find the best approach to help them recover.
Camp Pendleton, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT06562127Recruiting
Water exercise and cognitive training for veterans with TBI
This trial tests if combining water-based exercise with cognitive training over eight months can help improve thinking and memory in veterans with a past mild or moderate brain injury. It may benefit veterans aged 50-89 who have ongoing cognitive complaints.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50–89 - NCT07055633Recruiting
Improving cognitive rehab for veterans with concussion and PTSD
This trial tests a program to help veterans with memory, attention, or thinking problems after a mild concussion (mTBI) and with PTSD. It also looks at depression and sleep issues. The goal is to improve thinking and daily life.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07190963Recruiting
Head motion test for concussion detection and recovery
This study is testing whether a device that tracks head motion can help detect concussions and monitor recovery. If you have or may have a concussion, this research might be a fit for you.
Cupertino, CaliforniaAges 4 years+ - NCT07614074Recruiting
Understanding Recovery from Coma and Unconsciousness
This study follows patients who have been in a coma (deep unconsciousness) for at least 24 hours due to a brain injury. Researchers will track how patients recover over time to better understand which factors help predict who will wake up and how well they'll recover.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06070025Enrolling by invitation
Military life experiences and psychological health study
This study looks at how experiences before joining the military affect the mental health of active-duty service members. It may help understand what supports are needed for those currently serving.
Oceanside, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06583395Enrolling by invitation
Meditation retreat study with fitness tracker
This trial studies people attending a 7-day meditation retreat to see how meditation affects well-being. You will wear a fitness tracker and answer surveys.

What taking part in a traumatic 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 injury clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 36 recruiting traumatic injury studies with a site in California, 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 injury study in California?
- 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 California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, 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 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.
