Omaveloxolone for swallowing issues in Friedreich's ataxia
This study looks at whether omaveloxolone (a medication) can help improve swallowing problems in people with Friedreich's ataxia. If you have been taking omaveloxolone for at least 6 months, your data may help researchers understand if it helps with swallowing.
Nice, Alpes MaritimesAges 16 years+ - NCT07013331Recruiting
Brain scan study for Dravet syndrome
This study uses a special PET-MRI scan to look at a brain chemical pathway linked to serotonin (a mood-regulating substance) in people with Dravet syndrome or certain types of epilepsy, and in healthy volunteers. It may help understand how the brain works in these conditions.
Bron, RhoneAges 18–60 - NCT07014007Recruiting
Testing a new moisturizer for eczema in different age groups
This study tests a new moisturizing product (RV4421B) for people with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema). Participants will use the product along with their usual steroid cream for 12 weeks to see how well it works and if it’s safe for different ages, from babies to adults.
Quatre Bornes, MauritiusAges 3 months+ - NCT07014501Recruiting
Stroke recovery and trach tube removal at different altitudes
This trial studies how well stroke patients with a breathing tube (tracheostomy) can have it removed. It looks at genes and blood oxygen levels, and compares patients at different altitudes to find the best timing for removal.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07014592Recruiting
Brain activity study in drug-resistant epilepsy patients
This study looks at brain activity in people with epilepsy that does not get better with medicine. Researchers want to record your brain's electrical responses during surgery for your seizures to learn more about how epilepsy works.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 22–75 - NCT07014696Recruiting
Taping and exercise for hand function after stroke
This trial tests two rehabilitation methods - special exercise (PNF) and elastic taping - to see which one helps improve hand function in people who have weakness on one side of the body after a stroke. The goal is to find a better way to regain hand movement and daily use.
Istanbul, BahçeşirAges 18 years+ - NCT07014891Recruiting
Visual feedback training to help walking after stroke
This study uses a special brain-scanning technique to guide video feedback training for people who have had a stroke, aiming to improve walking ability. It is for those who can move their legs a little and understand instructions.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT07015411Recruiting
Neuro supplements for migraine prevention
This trial tests whether a combination of vitamins and supplements can help prevent migraines. It's for adults who have migraines often (at least 6 days per month) and want to try a non-drug option.
MechelenAges 18–75 - NCT07016243Recruiting
Knee recovery and ankle movement after knee replacement
This study looks at how well patients can move their ankle after knee replacement surgery and whether it affects their knee recovery. It may help improve rehabilitation for future patients.

- Clin2 is tracking 12,473 recruiting neurology studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 19,792 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.
