Home Exercise and Brain Stimulation for MS Fatigue
This study tests whether doing exercises at home combined with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (gentle electrical stimulation on your scalp) can reduce the exhaustion and tiredness that comes with multiple sclerosis. The goal is to see if this combination helps you feel less fatigued and improves your ability to stay active.

Brain Changes in Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Tracking Study
This research study tracks how brain damage progresses in rare neurodegenerative diseases like frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, PSP, CBS, and ALS. Researchers use brain imaging and tests to understand how these diseases spread in the brain, which could help develop better treatments.
Milan, LombardyAges 20–85 - NCT07567599Enrolling by invitation
Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson's Disease
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease who are having a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS), where thin electrodes are placed in the brain to help control movement symptoms. Researchers will track how well the surgery works and how it affects daily activities.

DMSO Therapy for Ringing in Ears After COVID
This trial tests a combination therapy using DMSO (a chemical that penetrates tissues) mixed with several medications to treat persistent ringing in the ears (tinnitus) that developed or worsened after COVID-19 infection or vaccination. If you have bothersome tinnitus linked to long COVID or vaccine injury and haven't responded to previous treatments, this study may help.

- How many brain & nervous system clinical trials are recruiting?
- Clin2 is tracking 12,504 recruiting neurology studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 19,972 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.
