Recruiting studies
- NCT03857529Recruiting
Rehab training for stroke arm control using brain and hand stimulation
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT05947279Recruiting
Testing noninvasive brain stimulation to study motor control
This study uses noninvasive brain stimulation and related tasks (and may include virtual reality) to understand how the brain controls movement. It may help researchers learn more about motor control, which can guide future treatments.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–40 - NCT05834478RecruitingPhase 3
Noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation for opioid use disorder
This trial tests whether noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation can help people with opioid use disorder during supervised withdrawal and treatment afterward. It may be considered if you can safely move to medication or behavioral care after withdrawal.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT05661084Recruiting
Non-surgery brain stimulation for dementia thinking and movement
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation device (tES) can improve thinking and movement problems in people with dementia. You (and your caregiver, if needed) will be asked to follow the study plan and attend visits so researchers can measure results and safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55 years+ - NCT05584124RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation to treat fatigue after stroke
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can reduce fatigue after a stroke. If you have ongoing tiredness that started or got worse after your stroke, this treatment might help.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 34–80 - NCT05327829RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a brain-stimulation approach after concussion recovery
This early study tests whether a brain-stimulation method can help after recovery from a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), sometimes called concussion. It also may include healthy volunteers to compare safety and computer-based brain measures.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05163639RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Noninvasive brain and spinal training for spinal cord injury
This early study tests a noninvasive way of training the nervous system to see how it affects “associative plasticity,” or the brain/spinal cord’s ability to change with practice. It may help researchers learn strategies that could improve function for people with spinal cord injury.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT05103566Recruiting
Noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation for ruptured brain aneurysm bleed
This trial studies whether a noninvasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve can be safely given soon after a ruptured aneurysm bleed to improve outcomes. It may help calm the brain’s stress response after this type of stroke-like emergency.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT03394066Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation safety and brain imaging study
This study tests how a non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique affects the brain in healthy volunteers. It involves MRI scans and aims to understand brain function without surgery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–60 - NCT06467253Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus memory training for mild memory loss
This study tests two gentle brain stimulation methods combined with memory training for people with mild memory loss. It aims to help improve thinking and memory skills over 8 weeks at a psychiatric hospital in Mexico City.
Mexico CityAges 55–85 - NCT06185816RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Non-invasive pulsed radiofrequency for nerve pain
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called pulsed radiofrequency for people with chronic nerve pain after an injury. It uses a device that sends short bursts of energy to the painful area to help reduce pain without surgery.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05183152Recruiting
Non-invasive brain signal control for assistive devices
This study tests an assistive device that you control using signals from the brain and muscles without surgery. It may help people with movement problems communicate or operate devices using gentle, non-invasive sensing.
Austin, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06417437RecruitingPhase 4
Brain-computer interface test for depression
This trial tests a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) to help people with depression. It may be a good fit for teenagers and adults who are right-handed, Han Chinese, and have moderate to severe depression without other major health problems.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 12 years+ - NCT06921538Recruiting
New home therapy for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a wearable device that gently stimulates the brain and nerves at home to improve movement in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to reduce muscle stiffness and help with daily activities like walking or using hands.
SingaporeAges 6–21 - NCT06761404Recruiting
Non-invasive nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests if a non-invasive nerve stimulation device can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. The stimulation is gentle and applied to the ear, aiming to aid recovery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04100486Enrolling by invitation
Testing a noninvasive device to measure your body signals
This study uses a noninvasive bioelectronic device to record your body’s automatic (involuntary) signals. The goal is to see how well the device can analyze these signals and how your body responds in a controlled setting.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–60 - NCT07752433Recruiting
Combining brain stimulation and eye exercises for adult lazy eye
This study combines two non-invasive treatments for adult lazy eye (amblyopia): gentle brain stimulation and a special eye exercise using augmented reality. The goal is to improve vision in the weaker eye, offering a non-surgical option for adults with this condition.
Coimbra, Coimbra DistrictAges 18–40 - NCT07010614Recruiting
Brain stimulation for memory in schizophrenia
This trial uses brain stimulation to target memory areas in people with schizophrenia or related conditions. It aims to see if this can help improve symptoms.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07625540Recruiting
Targeted Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Motor and Non-Motor Symptoms
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using electrical currents applied through the scalp) aimed at the subthalamic nucleus—a brain region involved in movement control—to help reduce both movement-related symptoms (like tremor and stiffness) and non-movement symptoms (like mood and sleep problems) in people with Parkinson's disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 50–85 - NCT07288385Recruiting
Virtual reality and brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests if using virtual reality along with mild brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who are at least three months past their stroke and have moderate arm weakness.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for non-invasive brain stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 69 recruiting non-invasive brain stimulation 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 non-invasive brain stimulation 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 non-invasive brain stimulation 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.
