Neurofeedback training for tinnitus relief
This study tests a non-invasive brain training method called neurofeedback to help reduce the distress caused by tinnitus, which is a constant ringing or buzzing in the ears. If you have bothersome tinnitus, this treatment might help you feel better.
Urbana, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT07787312Recruiting
Ultrasound for swallowing and muscle loss in intensive care patients
This study uses ultrasound to check the muscles that help you swallow and move. It aims to see if measuring these muscles can predict swallowing problems and muscle loss after being on a breathing machine.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07789834Recruiting
Oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea study
This study looks at how well an oral appliance (a mouthguard) works for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It uses a questionnaire to track your progress and makes sure the treatment is helping you sleep better.
Henderson, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT07784842Recruiting
Comparing two eye muscle surgeries for large outward deviation
This study compares two surgical techniques for correcting large-angle outward eye deviation (exotropia). It aims to see which method is more effective and better maintains eye alignment when looking sideways.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges Any age - NCT07785011Recruiting
Sensory integration for gross motor and balance in children with Down syndrome
This study tests whether sensory integration therapy helps improve gross motor skills and balance in children with Down syndrome. It focuses on kids aged 3-5 who can stand alone and have specific IQ and sensory issues, while excluding those with heart problems, severe cognitive issues, recent leg surgery, obesity, or hip problems.
CairoAges 3–5 - NCT07785999Recruiting
Wearable ring sensor for diagnosing sleep apnea in adults
This study tests whether a wearable ring sensor can help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops during sleep) compared to the standard in-lab sleep test. If you have suspected sleep apnea and are generally healthy, this study might help you get a simpler and more convenient diagnosis.
Pantai Valley, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT07787741Recruiting
Cervical Epidural Injection for Chronic Neck Pain
This study tests a cervical epidural block (an injection into the neck area) as a treatment for chronic neck pain. It aims to see if this injection can help reduce pain in people with nerve-related neck pain.
Adapazarı, SakaryaAges 18–55 - NCT07785492Recruiting
AI-assisted care for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence system can help doctors make better treatment decisions for people who have had an acute ischemic stroke within the last 24 hours. The goal is to see if this AI support improves outcomes compared to standard care.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07784946Recruiting
A sleep intervention for people with mild cognitive impairment
This study tests a behavioral sleep intervention for people with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia. It aims to improve sleep and overall well-being. You may qualify if you have mild cognitive impairment and sleep problems.

- Clin2 is tracking 11,939 recruiting neurology studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 18,371 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.
