Brain stimulation for bipolar depression
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can improve mood in people with bipolar disorder who are currently experiencing depression. It aims to understand how the brain's mood circuits work.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT06639061RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation to reduce PTSD flashbacks
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce intrusive memories in people with PTSD. It uses MRI to guide the stimulation, and you will be randomly assigned to receive either active TMS or a placebo-like treatment.
Tel AvivAges 20–65 - 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.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–65 - NCT07642414Enrolling by invitation
Digital program combining exercises and mindfulness for migraines
This 12-week online program uses exercises, mindfulness, and digital tracking to help reduce migraines. You'll work with the app on your smartphone while staying on your current migraine medications.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07637682Recruiting
Percutaneous Neurostimulation for Knee Osteoarthritis Pain
This trial tests a minimally invasive nerve-stimulation treatment for moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis pain in adults who have not found relief with standard treatments. The procedure uses small needles to deliver electrical stimulation near nerves to reduce pain.
TantaAges 18 years+ - NCT03953768Recruiting
Testing a new vagus nerve stimulator for gut and immune health
This study looks at what happens to your immune system and stomach/gut function after getting a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) for the first time for epilepsy. It may help doctors understand whether the device benefits more than seizures.
Louisville, KentuckyAges birth–60 years - NCT07619703Recruiting
Stroke Recovery Program Combining Therapy and Brain Stimulation
This study tests whether combining a hand-therapy program (CIMT) with mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) helps women recover hand function and quality of life after a stroke. You would attend therapy sessions over several weeks while receiving non-invasive brain stimulation to help rewire your brain's movement control.
Temuco, AraucaniaAges 30–85 - NCT05820074Recruiting
Neural signals and walking changes in Parkinson’s patients
This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
Vitznau, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT07578532Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests two non-surgical treatments—magnetic and electrical nerve stimulation applied to the skin over the sacrum (base of spine)—to help control bladder overactivity in people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to reduce involuntary bladder contractions and improve bladder control.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT05580211Recruiting
Brain stimulation for schizophrenia with low insight
This trial tests a brain-stimulation approach for people with schizophrenia (or schizoaffective disorder) who don’t always recognize how their illness affects them. It may help improve symptoms and insight while you stay on stable medications during the study.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07558759Recruiting

Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–65 - NCT07552519Recruiting
Patient Outcomes in Spinal Disease Treatment
This study tracks how patients feel and function after receiving treatment for spinal disease (which may include procedures like spinal cord stimulation). Researchers want to understand what matters most to patients during their recovery.

Understanding Nerve Stimulation for Bowel Problems in Children
This research study looks at using sacral neuromodulation—a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation of nerves in the lower spine—to help children with bowel movement problems. Researchers want to understand how well this treatment works and what improvements matter most to patients and families.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neuromodulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 192 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.
