Treating spinal headache: nose spray vs. blood patch
This trial compares two treatments for the severe headache that can occur after a spinal tap or epidural. One treatment is a numbing medicine sprayed into the nose (sphenopalatine block), the other is a blood patch (injecting your own blood into your back). The goal is to see which works better and faster.

Can slow brain waves slow Parkinson's?
This study tests whether playing soft sounds during deep sleep can slow down brain changes in people with REM sleep behavior disorder (a condition linked to Parkinson's disease). It is for people who have this sleep disorder or were recently diagnosed with Parkinson's, and are not yet on Parkinson's medications.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges Any age - NCT07355881Recruiting
New test to predict early death after stroke
This study looks at whether a new test (mSOAR) can help doctors predict the risk of early death in people who have had a stroke. It may help guide treatment decisions soon after a stroke.
SohagAges Any age - NCT07356011Recruiting
Exoskeleton for balance after stroke
This trial tests whether wearing a robotic exoskeleton can help improve balance and reduce falls in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have leg weakness. It may be a good fit if you are worried about falling and can walk on a treadmill without a cane or walker.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT07356102Recruiting
Pulsed radiofrequency for pudendal nerve pain
This trial compares two types of a procedure called pulsed radiofrequency to treat chronic pain in the pudendal nerve (a nerve in the pelvic area). The goal is to find out if a higher-voltage, longer-duration treatment works better than the standard one.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07356128Recruiting
How people with cochlear implants and hearing aids understand sound
This study tests how well children and adults can use sound from both ears when they have a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other (or a special device that combines both). It looks at how your brain makes sense of sounds to help improve hearing and speech understanding.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 5 years+ - NCT07356115Recruiting
Pain patterns and pain location in muscle and sports clinics
This study looks at whether people's pain patterns—measured by a simple questionnaire called PainDETECT—are linked to where their pain is and what caused it. It may help doctors better understand and treat different types of pain.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07356167Recruiting
Neurosensory training for mild brain injury symptoms
This study tests a special training program that uses sound and head movements to help people with long-lasting symptoms after a mild brain injury or sudden sensory event. The goal is to see if this 'neurosensory' training can reduce problems like dizziness, headache, and brain fog.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07356206Recruiting
Dog-assisted therapy for fibromyalgia
This study tests whether spending time with a specially trained therapy dog can help people with fibromyalgia feel better and manage pain. You would attend 10 sessions and complete a few questionnaires.
GuimarãesAges 18 years+ - NCT07356284RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke treatment study for blocked arteries with narrowing
This study tests a rescue treatment for people having a major stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain that also has severe narrowing. If doctors can't fully open the artery with standard clot removal, this study looks at whether additional treatments can help.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07356687Recruiting
Transcranial magnetic stimulation with walking training for stroke recovery

- 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.
