Plasma exchange for children with autoimmune encephalitis
This trial tests whether plasma exchange (a procedure that cleans the blood) can help children with a severe form of autoimmune encephalitis—a condition where the immune system attacks the brain. It's for children who haven't gotten better with standard treatments like steroids or IVIG.
Shibīn al Kawm, Menoufia GovernorateAges 1 month–18 years - NCT06275685Recruiting
Forecasting seizures with a smart wearable
This study tests if a smart wristband called EmbracePlus can predict seizures. You wear the device and track your seizures to see if it can warn you ahead of time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 6 years+ - NCT07775833Recruiting
Mushroom supplement to slow memory decline in at-risk adults
This trial tests whether eating mushrooms regularly can help prevent memory loss in people who are at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease but do not have dementia. If you are between 45 and 80, have some memory concerns, and currently eat mushrooms rarely, this study may be a good fit.
SingaporeAges 45–80 - NCT07226648Recruiting
Ultrasound brain treatment for fibromyalgia pain
This study tests a non-invasive ultrasound treatment aimed at a part of the brain involved in pain. It may help people with fibromyalgia who haven't found enough relief from standard treatments.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 22 years+ - NCT06121336Recruiting

- What does “Brain & nervous system” cover here?
- Conditions of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves — including stroke, dementia, and movement disorders. We group each study into brain & nervous system based on the conditions it studies, so you can scan the whole therapeutic area at once and drill into a specific condition.
- How do I find a brain & nervous system trial near me?
- Use the search to filter brain & nervous system studies by location and eligibility. Every Clin2 trial page explains the criteria in plain English and offers a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read — the study team makes the final decision.
