Testing a questionnaire for myositis
This study is testing a new questionnaire called the BETY-BQ to see if it is a good tool for measuring how well people with myositis are doing—things like symptoms and function. The goal is to make it easier for doctors to track your progress over time.
Ankara, AltındağAges 18 years+ - NCT06587022Recruiting
Planning radiation for spinal tumors
This trial tests a precise type of radiation (stereotactic radiotherapy) for spinal tumors or cancer that has spread to the spine. It aims to study how best to target the radiation to improve treatment while reducing side effects.

TMS for resistant voices in schizophrenia
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation method called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can reduce stubborn auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) in people with schizophrenia who haven't improved enough with medication.
Neuilly-sur-MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT05434065RecruitingPhase 2
Celecoxib for brain bleeding after onset
This Phase 2 trial tests whether celecoxib (an anti-inflammatory medicine) can improve outcomes after an intracerebral hemorrhage (a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain). It also studies how the medicine may help the body recover. You would need to start treatment quickly after symptoms begin and meet several safety and bleeding-control requirements.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT05800028Recruiting
Study brain scans and social life in memory changes
This study looks at how memory and brain function relate to social interactions. It focuses on people with probable Alzheimer’s disease or a specific language-related condition, and on healthy partners matched by age and social background.
CaenAges 18–85 - NCT06474507Recruiting
Calculus Bovis Sativus for Stroke Recovery
This study tests an investigational traditional Chinese medicine called Calculus Bovis Sativus (CBS) for people who have had an ischemic stroke or have small vessel disease in the brain. It aims to see if CBS can help recovery and is safe to use.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07742878Recruiting
Vision testing in people with recent brain injury
This study tests a new device called the Traq™ that looks at how well the two eyes work together. It's for people with a recent mild-to-moderate brain injury and for people without one, to see if the device can spot vision changes after injury.
Waukee, IowaAges 12 years+ - NCT07748572Recruiting
Tracking safety and performance of brain aneurysm flow diverters
This study collects information from patients in France who are being treated for a brain aneurysm with specific flow diversion devices (p64, p48 MW, or p64 MW). The goal is to confirm that these devices are safe and work well in real-world use, which can help doctors make better treatment decisions.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07744854Recruiting
Monitoring breathing with sensors during sleep
This study tests two wearable sensors that track how hard you breathe while you sleep. It may help diagnose sleep and breathing problems without needing a hospital visit.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT07749586RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ARV-6723 alone or with pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called ARV-6723, alone or with another drug called pembrolizumab, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if these combinations can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07745712Recruiting
Testing a robotic exoskeleton for children with walking difficulties
This trial tests a robotic exoskeleton called ABLE Kids to help children with walking difficulties due to neurological or muscle conditions. It checks if the device is safe and works well. Children who meet certain size and health requirements may be eligible to participate.
Girona, GironaAges Up to 17 years - NCT07748403RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for Wilson disease
This trial is testing an experimental gene therapy called PM577 that aims to fix the faulty gene causing Wilson disease. It might offer a new treatment option that could reduce or replace the need for daily medications.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 12 years+ - NCT07744659Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for stroke-related muscle stiffness
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulator to reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) after a stroke. If you've had arm or leg tightness that hasn't improved with other treatments, this device might help you move more easily.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07744269Recruiting
Hand therapy for early complex regional pain syndrome
This trial compares two hand therapy techniques — contrast baths (alternating warm and cool water) and compression with whirlpool therapy — to see which better eases early-stage complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after a hand or wrist injury. If you've had hand or wrist trauma and are still in pain, this study might help you find a treatment that reduces discomfort and improves hand use.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18–80 - NCT07744438Recruiting
Comparing two radiofrequency treatments for neck-related arm pain

- 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.
