If you qualify, you may be offered a monitored treatment plan and assessments for safety and symptom changes.
Hines, IllinoisAges 22–65 - NCT05942651Recruiting
tMS for impulsivity in borderline personality disorder
This trial studies whether magnetic brain stimulation (tMS) can reduce impulsive symptoms in people with borderline personality disorder. It may help by changing how brain networks involved in impulse control work.
Bron, AURAAges 18 years+ - NCT05942716RecruitingPhase 2
Testing how serotonin changes impulsivity in Tourette
This Phase 2 study looks at whether changing serotonin activity can affect impulsivity and related brain function in people with Tourette disorder. You may be asked to continue aripiprazole and complete brain scans that test how your brain responds during tasks.
BronAges 18–65 - NCT07595783Recruiting
Brain Training for Children With ADHD Using Neurofeedback
This study tests a new type of brain training called neurofeedback to help children with ADHD. Children complete sessions where they learn to control their own brain activity, which may improve attention and focus.
BielefeldAges 6–13 - NCT07590180Recruiting
Internet Gaming Habits and Brain Chemistry in Young Teens
This study looks at how excessive video gaming affects the brains and behavior of children ages 10–14. Researchers will compare children who game heavily with those who don't, measuring brain chemicals and decision-making patterns to understand why some kids struggle to control their gaming.

San Luis Potosí City, San Luis PotosíAges 13–23 - NCT06485986Recruiting
Brain Networks in Parkinson's and DBS
This study uses a brain scan called MEG to look at how Parkinson's disease and impulse control disorders affect brain networks in people who have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. You will be asked to delay your morning medication so the researchers can study your brain without the effects of the drugs.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT07209098Recruiting
Heart failure study testing CCM therapy
This study tests a therapy called Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) for people with heart failure. It uses a device to help the heart pump more strongly, and researchers compare it to standard care using patient records.
Marlton, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07152925Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for impulsivity?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 39 recruiting impulsivity studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a impulsivity trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a impulsivity trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
