Study of TMS for migraine guided by brain imaging
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), guided by magnetoencephalography (MEG), can help people with frequent migraines or tension-type headaches. If you have headaches 15 or more days per month, this treatment might reduce your pain.
ShanghaiAges 15–50 - NCT06024473Recruiting

Little Rock, ArkansasAges 55 years+ - NCT07356687Recruiting
Transcranial magnetic stimulation with walking training for stroke recovery
This trial studies whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with walking and thinking exercises helps improve walking and memory after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and can walk on their own for at least 1 minute.
Hong Kong, HongKongAges 50 years+ - NCT06849505Recruiting
Brain stimulation with movement training for stroke recovery
This trial tests if combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with arm and hand exercises helps people recover upper limb function after a first stroke. It is for adults who can follow instructions and have no metal in their head or a pacemaker.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–80 - NCT07324161Recruiting
Magnetic Brain Stimulation for Alzheimer's Disease
This trial tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment (TMS) can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. You would receive the treatment and be monitored for safety and benefit.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 50–90 - NCT07258914Recruiting
Repetitive TMS for depression in adults with autism
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can safely and effectively treat major depression in adults who also have autism spectrum disorder. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain areas without surgery.
RennesAges 18–65 - NCT07233278Recruiting
Brain stimulation for anxiety after miscarriages
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 - 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 - NCT06960369RecruitingPhase 1

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