This trial uses ultrasound to measure fat inside muscles of hospitalized older adults. It aims to see if this measurement is helpful for assessing health and recovery during rehabilitation.
NantesAges 75 years+ - NCT07411612Recruiting
Blood markers and confusion after surgery in older adults
This study looks at how inflammation and brain-related substances in the blood after surgery are linked to confusion (delirium) in older adults. It aims to find early warning signs to prevent this common complication.
ViennaAges 65 years+ - NCT07411690Recruiting
Spinal fluid leak after brain tumor surgery
This trial checks for spinal fluid leaks after surgery to remove brain tumors. If you are having a planned first-time surgery for a tumor in the upper part of the brain, you may be eligible.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT07412249Recruiting
Arm pressure cuff plus stent for blocked neck arteries
This trial tests if using a blood pressure cuff on the arm (to briefly restrict blood flow) before and after carotid stent placement can help reduce the risk of stroke. It is for people who have recently had stroke symptoms from a moderate to severe carotid artery blockage.
ShenyangAges 40 years+ - NCT07412782Recruiting
REMS bone scan study for children with bone conditions
This study uses a new ultrasound technology called REMS to check bone health in children aged 5 to 18 who have conditions that weaken bones. It may help find low bone density without radiation.
Florence, TuscanyAges 5–18 - NCT07413302Recruiting
Predicting recovery after back surgery for leg weakness
This study looks at which factors before surgery help predict how well leg weakness improves after a single-level microdiskectomy (minimally invasive back surgery for a slipped disk). It may help you understand what to expect if you are having this procedure.

- 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.
