Strasbourg, Grand EstAges 60–90 - NCT07674264Recruiting
Breathing therapy for thinking and movement in Parkinson's
This study tests whether a breathing-based therapy (short bursts of controlled air with higher carbon dioxide) can help with thinking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It may be an option for those who are not too advanced in their condition and are healthy enough to participate.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 40–75 - NCT06579274RecruitingPhase 2
Parecoxib for pain after bleeding stroke study
This trial tests a pain medicine called parecoxib (injected into a vein) for people who have had a bleeding stroke around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage). It aims to see if it helps with pain without causing serious side effects.
Brno, Czech RepublicAges 18–85 - NCT07685769RecruitingPhase 4
Rimegepant safety study for adults with migraine in India

- Clin2 is tracking 12,407 recruiting neurology studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 19,231 we cover in this area in total.
- 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.
