Nattokinase for heart, gut, sleep, and brain health in metabolic syndrome with sleep issues
This study tests whether a supplement called nattokinase can improve heart health, sleep, thinking, and gut bacteria in people with metabolic syndrome and mild-to-moderate sleep apnea. If you have a larger waist, blood pressure or blood sugar issues, or imbalanced cholesterol, and have been diagnosed with mild or moderate sleep apnea, you may be eligible.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07229651RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

TantaAges 50–70 - NCT07229664RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Vinpocetine for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests if adding vinpocetine to standard levodopa treatment can help Parkinson's disease patients. It aims to see if this combination improves symptoms.
TantaAges 50–70 - NCT07230015Recruiting
Imagery and balance training for MS
This study tests if combining mental practice of movements with balance exercises helps people with relapsing-remitting MS who have mild balance problems and dizziness. It aims to improve stability and reduce vertigo.
Istanbul, Beykoz/İstanbulAges 18–45 - NCT07230210Recruiting
Nutrition and exercise app study for muscle loss risk
This study tests if a smartphone program can help older adults at risk for muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and nutrition. You use an app to follow exercise and diet plans at home.
Hualien CityAges 65 years+ - NCT07230171Recruiting
Short-term S-ketamine for fibromyalgia pain relief
This trial tests if low-dose S-ketamine, given as a short intravenous infusion, can safely improve fibromyalgia pain and other symptoms for people who haven't gotten enough relief from non-drug treatments. S-ketamine is a fast-acting medicine that blocks pain signals and may help reset how the brain processes pain.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07230197Recruiting
Pregabalin and dexmedetomidine for fibromyalgia pain
This trial tests whether combining two medications, pregabalin and dexmedetomidine, works better than standard treatments for fibromyalgia pain. It may help people with moderate to severe fibromyalgia who haven't found relief from non-drug therapies.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07230236Recruiting
Hidden hearing loss: brain waves and speech in noise
This study explores a possible condition called 'hidden hearing loss' – where you struggle to hear in noisy situations despite passing a standard hearing test. It uses a special brain-wave test (LS Chirp ABR) to see if there is a link between your brain's response and how well you understand speech in noise.
IstanbulAges 20–60 - NCT07230470Recruiting
Walking rehabilitation after stroke: Exoskeleton vs treadmill
This study compares two robotic devices (the LoKomat exoskeleton and the C-Mill treadmill) to see which one helps people walk better after a stroke. If you are recovering from a stroke and able to understand instructions, you may be able to join.
SalamancaAges 18–65 - NCT07231172Recruiting
Fatigue after stroke and its link to clinical factors
This study examines how fatigue affects people who have had a stroke, looking at physical and mental health factors. It may help understand why some people feel more tired than others after a stroke.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07231549Recruiting

- 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.
