It is for people who have had these symptoms for at least 3 months and are on stable medications.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07469163RecruitingPhase 1
Walking on a split-belt treadmill after stroke
This study tests different amounts of walking on a special treadmill that moves each leg at a different speed. It may help people recovering from a first stroke to improve their walking.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07470151Recruiting
Study of EVM18001 for hard-to-treat autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new treatment, EVM18001, for people with lupus, myasthenia gravis, or systemic sclerosis that hasn't improved with standard therapies. It aims to see if this therapy can help control the disease.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT07471919Recruiting
Robot vs. visual feedback balance training after stroke
This study compares two types of therapy—robot-assisted walking training and balance training using visual feedback—to see which helps improve walking and balance after a stroke. You may join if you had an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, can walk with some help, and have no major communication or vision problems.
BoluAges 21–85 - NCT07472101Recruiting
Balance and cognitive exercises at home for older adults
This study tests whether home-based balance and thinking exercises done via video calls can improve balance, reduce fall risk, and boost brain function and sleep quality in older adults.
Zonguldak, KozluAges 65–74 - NCT07472296Recruiting
Comparing nerve blocks for heart surgery pain relief
This trial compares different types of nerve blocks to see which works best for managing pain after heart surgery through the breastbone. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medications.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–80 - NCT07472803Recruiting
Body composition study in early breast cancer patients
This study looks at how body composition (muscle and fat) changes over time in people with early-stage breast cancer. It aims to better understand the effects of cancer treatment on the body.
New Taipei City, Xindian DistAges 18 years+ - NCT07472959RecruitingPhase 4
Morphine for pain after heart bypass surgery
This study tests whether giving morphine during coronary artery bypass surgery can help control pain after the operation. It is for people having planned heart bypass surgery who are moderately sick and not already on strong pain medicines.
Istanbul, Outside of the USAges 18–80 - NCT07472985Recruiting
Early cycling exercise after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if starting leg cycling exercise within the first week after spinal cord injury is safe and helpful. It is for adults who had surgery within 48 hours of their injury and have a specific level of paralysis.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07472998Recruiting
Heart rate changes in people with a specific dizziness condition
This study looks at heart rate differences in people who have brief episodes of spinning dizziness (BPPV) compared to healthy people. It aims to see if the dizziness affects how the heart responds.
Istanbul, KüçükçekmeceAges 18–65 - NCT07473505Recruiting
Nerve block for PTSD in special operations veterans
This study tests if a specific nerve block (cervical sympathetic block) can help reduce trauma-related symptoms in Special Operations veterans with PTSD. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and can improve how you feel.
Strongsville, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07473635Recruiting
Botox injections for nerve pain in CRPS — an early safety study
This study tests whether a specially targeted injection of botulinum toxin (like Botox) around nerves can help reduce pain from CRPS. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and doable for people with long-lasting CRPS.
Glostrup, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT07474662Recruiting

- 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.
