Should you keep taking aspirin for a chronic brain bleed?
This trial looks at whether people with a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain) who are not having surgery should keep taking aspirin or stop it. It aims to find out which approach is safer and helps the hematoma heal better.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07242768Recruiting
Long-term exercise follow-up for artery narrowing
This trial looks at the long-term effects of regular exercise for people with narrowed brain arteries. It follows participants from a previous study to see if exercise continues to help over three more years.
BeijingAges 40–80 - NCT07244549Recruiting
Long-term monitoring of deep brain stimulation for dystonia
This study tracks people with dystonia who get deep brain stimulation (DBS) using a special device that can sense brain signals. It aims to see how well the treatment works over time and why it helps some people more than others.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 5–80 - NCT07246473Recruiting
Non-invasive ultrasound for brain bleed clearance
This trial tests a non-invasive ultrasound device to help clear blood clots from the brain after a spontaneous bleed. It may be an option for people with small to medium-sized bleeds who do not need surgery.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07245615Recruiting
Vibration therapy for neck dystonia
This study tests whether a gentle vibration device placed on the neck can improve head posture in people with cervical dystonia (neck muscle spasms). The goal is to find the best vibration strength to help reduce symptoms.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 30 years+ - NCT07244042Recruiting
Modified arm therapy for children recovering from stroke
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy for children who have had a stroke. It tests whether adding special movement exercises to a commonly used therapy helps improve arm function better than the therapy alone.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 5–13 - NCT07245303Recruiting
How Light Affects Pain in Chronic Pain
This study looks at how different kinds of light might change pain levels in people with chronic widespread pain, like fibromyalgia. By using brain scans (MRI), researchers hope to find new ways to manage pain without medication.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07244081Recruiting
Movement therapy for arm use in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a type of physical therapy called kinesiotherapy can improve arm and hand function and daily living skills in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side). It may help children who can follow simple directions and participate in therapy sessions.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 8–13 - NCT07244146Recruiting
Hand therapy for children with spastic cerebral palsy
This trial tests a therapy called CHRIST for children ages 6-12 who have spastic cerebral palsy affecting one side. The goal is to improve hand use and arm function.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 6–12 - NCT07244159Recruiting
Dynamic surface exercise for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether exercising on an unstable surface (like a foam mat or ball) can improve balance and movement in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. It may help kids who use a walker or wheelchair have better control and independence.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 5–8 - NCT07249060Recruiting
Interferon levels in cancer and autoimmune disease patients
This study looks at a protein called interferon in the blood of people with cancer who are starting immunotherapy, and people with certain autoimmune diseases (such as lupus, Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma, or inflammatory myopathy). The goal is to compare interferon patterns and better understand immune responses.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT04898491Recruiting
Pain behavior scale study for adults who cannot speak
This study checks whether a “pain behavior” checklist works well and gives consistent results in adults who can’t communicate verbally and who have an artificial airway. It may help clinicians better recognize pain in people who cannot tell them directly.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07248124Recruiting
Studying muscle response in carpal tunnel syndrome
This study looks at how your muscles react during a specific test for carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to better understand the condition and could help improve diagnosis.
TarbesAges 18 years+ - NCT07248449Recruiting
Exercise study for children with Down syndrome ages 3-8
This trial tests two types of exercise—Cuevas Medak and rebound exercises—to see which one improves physical fitness in children with Down syndrome. It may help your child get stronger and move better.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 3–8 - NCT07248566Recruiting
Brain and body training for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests a therapy that combines thinking, sensing, and movement exercises for children with cerebral palsy. It aims to improve motor skills and daily function.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 6–12 - NCT07248631Recruiting
Exercises and mindful walking for diabetic nerve pain
This study tests whether combining foot and ankle exercises with mindful walking can reduce pain and improve mobility in people with diabetic nerve damage in their feet.
Multan, Punjab ProvinceAges 3.3 years–6.3 years - NCT07240844RecruitingPhase 4
Enavogliflozin for amyloid heart disease
This study tests a drug called enavogliflozin to see if it helps people with a specific type of heart failure caused by amyloid buildup. It may improve symptoms and daily function.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06089096Recruiting
Sleep apnea and memory in people with mild memory problems
This study looks at whether sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) is linked to thinking and memory in people who have mild memory problems. You will do a home sleep test and take memory tests to help researchers find this connection.

Brain Networks in Parkinson's and DBS
This study uses a brain scan called MEG to look at how Parkinson's disease and impulse control disorders affect brain networks in people who have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. You will be asked to delay your morning medication so the researchers can study your brain without the effects of the drugs.

- Clin2 is tracking 11,975 recruiting neurology studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 18,541 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.
