Brain signal study for speech recovery after stroke or injury
This trial uses a special brain-mapping test called high-density ECoG to study how people who have lost speech due to stroke, brain tumor, or ALS can be helped by reading brain signals when they imagine speaking. It may lead to new devices that let people with severe speech problems communicate using only their thoughts.

São Paulo, São PauloAges 40 years+ - NCT07463235RecruitingPhase 3
High dose cabergoline for small prolactin tumors in women
This trial tests a higher dose of the drug cabergoline to see if it works better for small prolactin-secreting tumors (microprolactinomas) in premenopausal women who have not been treated before. It aims to find a safe and effective way to lower high prolactin levels and shrink the tumor.
Belo HorizonteAges 18 years+ - NCT07463586Recruiting
Brain oxygen and confusion after surgery in older adults
This study looks at how giving extra oxygen during surgery affects brain function and confusion (delirium) in older adults. It involves placing a small sensor on your forehead to measure brain oxygen levels.

PET scan for finding ACTH-secreting pituitary tumors
This trial tests a special PET scan using a tracer called FET to locate tiny ACTH-producing pituitary tumors (microadenomas) causing Cushing's disease. It might help guide surgery by identifying exactly where the tumor is in the gland.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT07464262Recruiting
Telemonitoring with CPAP for severe sleep apnea patients
This trial tests whether telemonitoring (checking in remotely) helps people with severe sleep apnea adjust to CPAP therapy. If you live in São Paulo and recently started CPAP, this study may help you get extra support.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT07464470Recruiting
Comparing stomach cancer and brain metastasis genetics
This trial studies stomach and esophageal cancers that spread to the brain. It compares the genetic makeup of the original tumor to the brain metastasis, which may help find better treatments.

Common questions
- How many brain & nervous system clinical trials are recruiting?
- Clin2 is tracking 12,497 recruiting neurology studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 19,911 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.
