Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–75 - NCT06991062Recruiting
Brain stimulation and smoking: finding personalized treatments
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people who smoke reduce cravings or change smoking behavior. You'll also have your brain activity recorded with a cap (EEG) and do some vaping tasks.
Houston, TexasAges 21–60 - NCT02898181Recruiting
Ear cartilage stimulation for sudden heart failure worsening
This trial tests whether a gentle stimulation near your ear (on the tragus, a small ear area) can help people whose heart failure has recently gotten worse while in the hospital. If it works, it may improve symptoms and recovery during this acute phase.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–80 - NCT06374433Recruiting
How the brain learns: a brain stimulation study
This study explores how the brain learns and adapts (called brain plasticity) using a non-invasive brain stimulation technique. It may help understand learning and perception in healthy young adults.
MilanAges 18–35 - NCT05708729Recruiting
Brain stimulation for nerve pain after stroke
This study tests a type of brain “neuromodulation” to reduce central post-stroke pain (CPSP) and to understand how it works and whether it’s safe. It’s for people whose pain has not improved enough with certain standard pain medicines.
LeuvenAges 18–70 - NCT06434766Recruiting
Brain stimulation for PTSD treatment study
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation method called iTBS to see if it can help people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You would receive the treatment and be monitored for changes in your symptoms.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07525063Enrolling by invitation
Brain Stimulation for Fibromyalgia Pain Relief
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) can help reduce pain and improve mood in women with fibromyalgia. Researchers will use MRI scans and brain stimulation to understand how pain and reward circuits in the brain work.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07719179Recruiting
Nerve stimulation study for amateur athletes
This trial tests if ultrasound-guided nerve stimulation can improve squat performance in amateur athletes. You'll do barbell back squats and jump tests while researchers monitor your femoral nerve.
Sant Cugat del Vallès, BarcelonaAges 18–30 - NCT07704632Recruiting
Focused ultrasound helmet for severe OCD
This study tests whether a special helmet that uses focused ultrasound can safely change brain activity in adults with severe OCD that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may offer a new option for people who have not found relief from medications or therapy.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–85 - NCT07558759Recruiting
Brain Stimulation Study for Psychiatric Conditions
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference to help treat psychiatric conditions. Researchers will use MRI scanning and specialized stimulation equipment to see if this approach is safe and helpful.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–65 - NCT03819062Recruiting
Stomach–bowel nerve stimulation for long-term constipation
This trial studies a device that stimulates nerves near the lower back (sacrum) to improve bowel function in people with severe constipation that hasn’t responded to standard treatments. It may help if your constipation involves problems coordinating bowel movement and the muscles around the rectum.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 6–70 - NCT03819608Recruiting
Brain stimulation and rehab after mild concussion with PTSD or cognitive issues
This trial studies whether brain stimulation plus targeted brain rehabilitation can improve symptoms after a mild concussion (mTBI). You may be invited if your concussion happened at least 3 months ago and your symptoms are affecting thinking or mood, with or without PTSD.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT03825575Recruiting
Nerve stimulation to help control bowel leaks
This study looks at using a small nerve stimulation approach to improve fecal incontinence (bowel leaks). If it works for you, it could help you have more control and fewer accidents.

Study tracks symptoms and nutrition in hard-to-treat gastroparesis
This study follows people with drug-refractory gastroparesis (stomach paralysis symptoms that don’t improve with usual medicines) to better understand how symptoms and nutrition change over time. Your information may help researchers understand patterns that could improve care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neuromodulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 200 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.
