Brain stimulation plus future thinking for methamphetamine use
This study tests whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (TMS) with a mental exercise called 'episodic future thinking' can help people reduce methamphetamine use. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas linked to addiction, and episodic future thinking involves imagining positive future events to reduce cravings.

New Taipei CityAges 18–80 - NCT06123650Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation plus therapy for swallowing after stroke
This study tests whether adding a gentle magnetic brain stimulation (called rTMS) to standard swallowing therapy can help prevent pneumonia in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It might reduce the risk of getting a lung infection.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 49–65 - NCT05553353Recruiting
Repeated brain stimulation for depression after spinal cord injury
This study tests a non-drug treatment called repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to reduce depression symptoms in people with depression after a spinal cord injury. You might be eligible if you have ongoing major depression and can safely receive magnetic pulses to the head.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–60 - NCT06538311RecruitingEarly Phase 1
TMS treatment for early Alzheimer's disease
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help people with early Alzheimer's disease or related memory problems. It's a safe, gentle way to stimulate brain cells using magnetic pulses.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–99 - NCT06572683Enrolling by invitation
Novel TMS for hard-to-treat depression
This trial tests a new type of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for people with severe depression that hasn't improved with multiple medications or therapy. It uses a different frequency pattern to target brain circuits.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 21–75 - NCT06069323Recruiting
Repetitive TMS therapy for children with autism or ADHD
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help children with autism or ADHD. The goal is to find out if this treatment can improve symptoms and is safe for this age group.
FoggiaAges 6–18 - NCT06999772Recruiting
Combining brain stimulation with physiotherapy for chronic back pain
This study tests if adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to physiotherapy can help veterans with chronic low back pain. It aims to improve pain and function by targeting both the brain and the body.
Québec, QuebecAges 18–65 - NCT05149534Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus writing therapy for PTSD symptoms
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation (rTMS) combined with a structured writing therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. It may help by boosting how the brain processes traumatic memories while you work through them in writing.
Temple, TexasAges 18–60 - NCT06511544Recruiting
Brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression with rumination
This study tests whether a specific form of brain stimulation (called rTMS) can help people with treatment-resistant depression by targeting brain circuits linked to rumination (repetitive negative thinking). If you have tried at least one antidepressant without success and do not have other major mental health conditions, this trial may be worth exploring with your doctor.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–70 - NCT04972136Recruiting
Brain stimulation treatment for depression in young adults with autism
This trial studies a noninvasive brain stimulation (rTMS) to help reduce depression symptoms in young adults who have autism. It aims to find out if this treatment can improve mood and daily functioning without requiring recent changes to medications.
Toronto, OntarioAges 16–35 - NCT07120100Recruiting
TMS for nerve pain from cancer chemo in breast/gyne cancer survivors
This trial tests if transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive brain treatment, can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in women who have had breast or gynecologic cancer. You may be eligible if you have ongoing nerve pain that hasn't been helped by standard pain medications.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06716996Recruiting
Brain stimulation for mood problems after COVID-19
This study tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help people aged 18 to 65 who have ongoing depression or low mood for more than 12 weeks after a confirmed COVID-19 infection. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain involved in mood regulation.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–65 - NCT06773949Recruiting
Exercise before rTMS for hard-to-treat depression
This trial tests if doing exercise before repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve depression symptoms in people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18–75 - NCT04870255Recruiting
Brain stimulation for depression in borderline personality disorder
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called rTMS to see if it can help improve mood in people who have both depression and borderline personality disorder. It may offer a new treatment option for those who haven't tried TMS before.

Magnetic brain stimulation for spinal cord injury pain
This study tests whether a magnetic treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help reduce nerve pain that some people have after a spinal cord injury. rTMS uses painless magnetic pulses to gently stimulate the brain, and it may help change how your brain processes pain.
AfyonkarahisarAges 18–75 - NCT05671185Recruiting
Brain stimulation for schizophrenia symptoms and depression
This study tests repeated brain stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can improve symptoms of schizophrenia and related depression, and measure body/brain changes. You may be considered if you have schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder with enough depressive symptoms, and if recent treatments and medical safety factors fit the rules.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for rtms stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 153 recruiting rtms 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 rtms 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 rtms 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.
