This early study tests whether a surgically implanted device that stimulates the vagus nerve can boost the effects of talk therapy for people with chronic PTSD. Twenty adults who have not gotten better with standard treatments will receive either active or sham stimulation alongs…

This study tests a specially adapted early intervention for young Hispanic autistic children (18-42 months) from low-income families. The program, called CLR-Pathways, is delivered by bilingual coaches in the home and focuses on improving social communication and daily skills. Re…

This study tests whether Apple AirPods can help adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss understand speech in noisy places. Twenty-four participants will compare AirPods, hearing aids, and wireless microphones in a single lab session. Researchers will measure how well people hea…

This study tests whether a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS can reduce stuttering symptoms like repetitions and blocks. Fifty adults who stutter will receive a single session of stimulation and complete speaking tasks before and after. The goal is to s…

This study tests whether a low-level electric current applied to the scalp (tDCS) can improve verbal retrieval in military veterans who have had a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury. 136 participants will receive either real or sham stimulation while doing memory tasks. The …

This study will follow 40 adults aged 18-70 who currently take tirzepatide, a medication for blood sugar and appetite control. Researchers will temporarily stop the drug for 3-4 weeks and then restart it for 6-8 weeks, using brain scans, questionnaires, and stool samples to track…

This study aims to discover what factors help keep the brain healthy as we age. It will follow up to 100,000 generally healthy adults over time, using online tests and surveys twice a year. Participants also get access to brain-training modules and optional coaching. The goal is …

This study looks at how the brain processes auditory feedback during speech in people with aphasia, a communication disorder often caused by stroke. Researchers will test 50 adults with aphasia and 50 healthy adults using speech tasks, EEG, and fMRI. The goal is to find brain mar…

This study looks at how online brain health tools and in-person workshops can help college students and staff think, feel, and live better. About 1,000 people from two Dallas colleges will take part over one year. The goal is to learn what works best to create healthier, brain-fr…

Researchers at UT Dallas are studying whether 'parentese' — the sing-song, high-pitched speech parents often use with babies — helps autistic children learn new words. The study will involve 100 children aged 18 to 59 months, with and without an autism diagnosis. Children will wa…

This pilot study is looking for new ways to measure brain health using non-invasive techniques like EEG and TMS. Researchers will test 63 healthy adults who are already part of a larger brain health study. The goal is to see if these brain imaging tools can provide useful markers…
