Female hormones and brain blood flow during MRI
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks how female hormones may change blood flow in the brain. You may be asked to undergo an MRI scan while hormone levels are assessed.

This study looks at how a hormone called oxytocin affects the brain's reward system in women. If you are a healthy woman with a natural menstrual cycle or on birth control pills, you may be able to join and help researchers understand how oxytocin influences emotions and motivation.
This study explores how hormones influence the brain's response to a noninvasive stimulation technique called transcranial stimulation. Researchers use safe, non-invasive methods to understand if hormone levels affect how the brain responds to this type of stimulation.
This study looks at how natural menstrual cycles and ovarian stimulation (which mimics some fertility treatments) affect brain activity and hormone levels. Researchers want to understand normal brain changes during the cycle to help improve fertility treatments.
This Phase 4 study uses brain imaging and daily questions to understand how contraceptive hormones may affect reward and brain signals. You may be able to join if you meet the health, birth-control, and safety requirements for MRI.
This study tests improved MRI scan settings to get clearer images. You may be able to take part if you’re able to safely have an MRI and you meet basic study consent and contraception rules.
This study looks at how brain health, thinking, and memory change during the menopause transition. It uses brain scans and tests to understand these changes, and may help women find ways to stay healthy.
