KielAges Any age - NCT07058506Recruiting
Control interfaces for assistive devices after spinal cord injury
This study tests new ways to control assistive devices like wheelchairs or computer interfaces for people with spinal cord injuries. If you have limited movement below your injury level and your condition is stable, you may help researchers improve these tools.
PerpignanAges 18–80 - NCT07058688RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug for Alzheimer's (NTRX-07)
This study tests an experimental drug for Alzheimer's called NTRX-07. It aims to see if it can slow memory decline for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's.
BrnoAges 65–80 - NCT07058636Recruiting
Nerve block plus trigger point shots for neck pain relief
This study tests if adding a nerve block to standard trigger point injections provides better relief for people with chronic neck pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07058870Recruiting
Improving walking skills in progressive multiple sclerosis
This study is testing a new way to help people with progressive multiple sclerosis improve their walking and motor skills. If you have mild to moderate trouble walking and meet some other health criteria, you may be able to join.
Ferrara, FEAges 18–75 - NCT07058896Recruiting
Improving walking skills in progressive multiple sclerosis
This study tests a program to help people with progressive multiple sclerosis who have severe walking difficulty. It aims to see if the program is feasible and can improve motor skills.
Ferrara, FEAges 18–75 - NCT07059325RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Quick brain stimulation for seizures caused by stress or emotional distress
This trial tests if a fast form of brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce seizures that are caused by stress or emotional triggers — not epilepsy. It's for people who have been diagnosed with functional seizures and have not gotten better with talk therapy alone.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–65 - NCT07059351Recruiting
Mouth health and pneumonia risk after stroke
This study looks at how oral health affects the chances of developing pneumonia after a stroke and how well people recover their ability to swallow. It may help find ways to prevent complications and improve recovery for stroke survivors with swallowing problems.

- How many brain & nervous system clinical trials are recruiting?
- 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.
