How to check Neuralink clinical trials and the official Patient Registry

Step-by-step workflow

1. Step 1 of 5

   Start at neuralink.com/trials/ and read the official study brochures

   Navigate directly to https://neuralink.com/trials/ and https://neuralink.com/trials/speech-restoration/. Download the official PRIME Study Brochure PDF (https://neuralink.com/pdfs/PRIME-Study-Brochure.pdf), which explains what the study tests, the approximate multi-year follow-up schedule, and general eligibility.

   Verification check: Verify that the browser address bar shows neuralink.com over HTTPS before entering any personal health information.

2. Step 2 of 5

   Compare the three active study tracks (PRIME, CONVOY, and VOICE)

   Identify which protocol matches the clinical question: PRIME evaluates N1/R1 safety and wireless computer control in quadriplegia (such as cervical spinal cord injury or ALS); CONVOY evaluates controlling an assistive robotic arm; VOICE evaluates speech decoding for severe communication impairment.

   Verification check: Each study has specific age, medical-stability, and anatomical inclusion and exclusion criteria.

3. Step 3 of 5

   Inspect the federal registration on ClinicalTrials.gov

   Open https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06429735 (The PRIME Study) and https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07224256 (The VOICE Study). Review the 'Participation Criteria', 'Contacts and Locations', and 'Study Plan' sections.

   Verification check: ClinicalTrials.gov lists institutional clinical sites such as Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona.

4. Step 4 of 5

   Understand what joining the Patient Registry entails

   Submitting an application to the Neuralink Patient Registry (or an international registry in the US, Canada, UK, UAE, or global portal) does not automatically enroll a person in surgery. It initiates a pre-screening medical records review followed by formal informed-consent discussions with the study's clinical investigators.

   Verification check: Participation in any clinical trial is voluntary, and participants have the right to withdraw under informed-consent protections.

5. Step 5 of 5

   Discuss benefits, surgical risks, and alternatives with an independent neurologist

   Before making any decision about an investigational Class III neurosurgical trial, review the full informed-consent packet with an independent physician who is not affiliated with the device sponsor.

   Verification check: Ask specifically about surgical risks, post-operative follow-up commitments, alternative assistive technologies, and long-term device management.
