This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (repetitive TMS) to see if it can improve heart health and reduce anxiety in women who have had multiple pregnancy losses and struggle with anxiety. You will receive high-intensity, low-frequency magnetic pulses over a specific area of the brain involved in worry and stress.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–45 - NCT05974202Recruiting

New York, New YorkAges 22–65 - NCT05331937RecruitingPhase 3
TMS plus exposure therapy for severe OCD that won’t improve
This trial studies whether TMS (a brain stimulation treatment) can help people with severe OCD who have not responded well to exposure therapy. It combines brain stimulation with intensive exposure therapy to reduce obsessions and compulsions.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07106385Recruiting
rTMS for better sleep in healthy adults
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation method called rTMS can help improve sleep in adults who are generally healthy but have sleep complaints. If you are 18–65 and often have trouble sleeping, this might be a way to try a new approach without medication.
Hong Kong, Pok Fu LamAges 18–65 - NCT07650526Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Nerve Pain Relief
This study tests two types of magnetic brain stimulation (aiTBS and rTMS) to treat long-lasting nerve pain. Researchers want to see which approach works better and develop a way to predict who will benefit most.
Boulogne-Billancourt, Île-de-France RegionAges 18–80 - NCT06689072Enrolling by invitation
High-frequency brain stimulation for opioid use disorder
This study tests whether a treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with opioid use disorder. It involves a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate certain parts of the brain.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18–45 - NCT07185438Recruiting
MRI-guided brain stimulation for teenage depression
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called rTMS, guided by an MRI scan, can safely help ease depression symptoms in teenagers. You would continue your regular medication during the study.
ChongqingAges 12–18 - NCT05918835Recruiting
Transcranial magnetic stimulation for food choices in anorexia
This study tests if repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can change how women with anorexia nervosa make food choices. You would receive rTMS while staying in a hospital eating disorders unit.
New York, New YorkAges 18–35 - NCT04903028Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help people quit smoking
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation (rTMS) can help people stop smoking. It targets brain circuits involved in cravings, aiming to support quitting safely.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 22–70 - NCT05426967Recruiting
Brain stimulation for depression after mild traumatic brain injury
This trial studies a noninvasive brain treatment (rTMS) to reduce depression symptoms in people with past mild traumatic brain injury from military service. It may help by changing brain activity, while also requiring stable mental health care and regular follow-up.

TMS treatment to reduce voices in schizophrenia
This trial studies whether repeated noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) can help reduce ongoing voice-hearing (auditory verbal hallucinations) in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It focuses on whether doing this after medication is already adjusted can improve symptoms and help keep them controlled.
CaenAges 18–65 - NCT05570344Recruiting
Texting support plus brain stimulation for hard-to-treat depression
This study tests whether adding supportive text messages to brain stimulation (repetitive TMS) helps people with depression that has not improved after at least two antidepressant tries. It may help some people by combining a brain-based treatment with ongoing daily encouragement and support.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for rtms?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 212 recruiting rtms 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 rtms 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 rtms 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.
