Nerve response study during sacral neuromodulation for overactive bladder
This trial is for people with overactive bladder who are already scheduled to receive a nerve stimulator implant (sacral neuromodulation). The study will measure how your body's automatic nervous system responds when the device is turned on, which may help doctors understand how the treatment works.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06456502Recruiting
Non-invasive brain stimulation for long COVID symptoms
This trial tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation device can help relieve long COVID symptoms. It involves wearing special gloves and socks that deliver mild electrical pulses to improve how you feel.

Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07058857Recruiting
Ear stimulation test for heart attack recovery
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation on the tragus (small bump near your ear opening) can improve heart function in people having a first heart attack. This treatment is non-invasive and could help protect your heart from damage.
Semarang, Central of JavaAges 18–75 - NCT07196878Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided nerve stimulation to improve walking after stroke
This study tests a new, non-surgical treatment using ultrasound and gentle electrical stimulation (like a tiny pulse) to help improve walking after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke and are still working on their walking in physical therapy.
Zaragoza, AragonAges 18–70 - NCT07247136Recruiting
30-Minute Nerve Stimulation for Urgency Incontinence
This trial tests a new device that stimulates the sacral nerve (a nerve in your lower back that controls the bladder) for just 30 minutes. It may help reduce sudden, strong urges to urinate that cause leakage, without the need for daily medications.
West Columbia, South CarolinaAges 22 years+ - NCT02331979Recruiting
Neuromodulation trial to improve bladder function after spinal injury
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation approach to improve bladder control in people with spinal cord injury. It specifically targets bladder problems that require clean intermittent catheter use and includes regular testing over 6 months.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–45 - NCT06474026Recruiting
Focused Ultrasound for Stimulant Use Disorder
This trial tests a non-invasive brain treatment called focused ultrasound for people with stimulant use disorder (like methamphetamine or cocaine). It aims to help reduce cravings and improve recovery by gently stimulating a brain area involved in addiction.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–60 - NCT06561828RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain stimulation study for learning and decision-making
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can improve how people learn and make decisions. It is for healthy adults who are right-handed.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–45 - NCT07226648Recruiting
Ultrasound brain treatment for fibromyalgia pain
This study tests a non-invasive ultrasound treatment aimed at a part of the brain involved in pain. It may help people with fibromyalgia who haven't found enough relief from standard treatments.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 22 years+ - NCT07691918Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for mild memory loss
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people with mild memory problems. It uses a special cap to gently stimulate the brain and aims to improve thinking and memory.
Roanoke, VirginiaAges 55–80 - NCT05236010Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus cognitive training for mild TBI memory and thinking
This trial studies whether brain stimulation through the scalp can improve cognitive (thinking and memory) training in people with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants train on thinking tasks while receiving a targeted “control network neuromodulation” approach to see if it enhances training results.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–59 - NCT07774598Recruiting
Non-invasive nerve stimulation for essential tremor
This trial is testing whether a device that gently stimulates the nerves in your arm (called non-invasive neuromodulation) can safely reduce hand tremors over a long period. It might help with activities like eating, writing, or dressing.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07771699Recruiting
Brain stimulation for balance and thinking in older adults with glaucoma
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can improve balance and thinking in older adults with glaucoma. It involves a series of sessions where a mild electrical current is applied to the brain.
Kowloon, Hong KongAges 55 years+ - NCT05048251Recruiting
Targeted brain stimulation for OCD with contamination symptoms
This study tests a personalized brain-stimulation approach to help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) focused on contamination worries. If you have the “contamination” type of OCD and meet the safety and medication rules, you may be able to join and see whether this targeted treatment reduces symptoms.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges 18–55 - NCT07689773RecruitingPhase 2
Can brain training improve smell loss?
This trial tests a type of brain training (called TNS) that uses mild electrical pulses to help improve your sense of smell. If you have smell loss and want treatment, this study may see if TNS can help.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT06511141Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for men with overactive bladder
This study tests a nerve stimulation device placed near the tailbone to help men with overactive bladder symptoms. If you have bothersome urinary urgency or frequency, this treatment may offer relief without drugs.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07668882Recruiting
Ultrasound brain stimulation for persistent stuttering
This study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound can change brain activity linked to stuttering. It may help people who have not had stuttering treatment in the past year.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neuromodulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 199 recruiting neuromodulation 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 neuromodulation 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 neuromodulation 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.
