This study tests if using a mirror to create the illusion of moving your weaker arm can help your real arm recover better after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago, are 18 to 80, and still have some but not too much movement in their affected arm.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - 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.

Blacksburg, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07454798Recruiting
Virtual reality neurofeedback for teens with migraine
This study tests whether using virtual reality neurofeedback can help teens with migraine. You would wear a VR headset and learn to control your brain's activity to reduce headache frequency.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 10–16 - NCT07454473RecruitingPhase 4
Edaravone and Dexborneol for chemo-related memory loss
This trial tests if a sublingual tablet can help people who have memory and thinking problems related to chemotherapy. If you have had certain types of chemotherapy and now notice trouble with your memory or concentration, this treatment might help improve your symptoms.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 35–80 - NCT07457333Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Beta-sitosterol for recovery after a brain aneurysm bleed
This study tests a natural compound called beta-sitosterol (from Gastrodia elata) to see if it can help people recover better after a brain aneurysm bleed. You must have had your aneurysm treated within 48 hours and be in relatively stable condition.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07457086Recruiting
Breathing technique for better sleep and recovery after bladder surgery
This trial tests whether a simple breathing pattern called 4-7-8 can help you sleep better, hurt less, and recover faster after transurethral resection of the bladder (a procedure to remove bladder tumors).
Mersin, TurkeyAges 18 years+ - NCT07453862RecruitingPhase 1
New drug for restless legs syndrome: efficacy and safety study
This trial tests a new drug (a calcium channel modulator) to see how well it works and how safe it is for people with moderate to severe restless legs syndrome (RLS). It may offer a new treatment option for those with typical or variant RLS.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07454785Enrolling by invitation
How the brain learns new patterns
This study looks at how the brain learns and uses patterns. If you have epilepsy that requires brain monitoring, you may be able to join and help researchers understand memory and thinking.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07454993Recruiting
Music during colonoscopy study
This trial tests whether listening to music during a colonoscopy can make the procedure more comfortable. If you are having a routine colonoscopy without deep sedation, you may be able to join.

Autonomic nervous system changes in children with type 1 diabetes
This study looks at how the autonomic nervous system (which controls automatic functions like heart rate) works in children with type 1 diabetes compared to children without diabetes. It may help understand if diabetes affects these automatic functions.
Saint-EtienneAges 1–17 - NCT07458503Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus arm therapy for stroke recovery
This study tests a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.
