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.

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 - 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.

Brain stimulation and probiotics for diarrhea-predominant IBS
This trial tests whether combining a type of brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) with a probiotic tablet can help people with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. It aims to improve symptoms by targeting both the brain and the gut.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT06963476Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation for substance use
This study uses a gentle magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help people who are already in treatment for alcohol or opioid addiction. The goal is to see if adding rTMS can reduce cravings and improve recovery.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18–60 - NCT07067229Recruiting
Brain stimulation and exercise for motor neuron disease
This study tests whether combining non-invasive brain stimulation (a gentle, non-surgical treatment) with exercise can help people with motor neuron disease (MND). It may improve movement and quality of life for those with mild to moderate symptoms.

Brain stimulation and practice study for healthy young adults
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve how well you learn a hand movement task. You will practice a motor task while receiving brief magnetic pulses to your scalp.
TaipeiAges 18–35 - 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 - 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+ - NCT03932773Recruiting
Check rTMS treatment for combat-related PTSD in veterans
This trial tests whether a non-drug brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can reduce symptoms of PTSD in veterans who were exposed to post-9/11 combat trauma. It may help by improving PTSD symptoms, but you must meet safety rules—especially related to seizure risk.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–60 - NCT07260864Recruiting
rTMS for fibromyalgia pain
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help reduce pain in people with fibromyalgia. If you join, you'll receive rTMS sessions and we'll monitor your brain activity to see how it affects your pain.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT06712446Recruiting
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.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT04936646Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for long-term nerve pain
This trial tests whether a form of brain stimulation (rTMS) can reduce chronic nerve pain that has lasted more than a year and hasn’t improved with standard treatments. It may help people whose usual pain medicines are stable but still not working well.
Grenoble, IsèreAges 18–80 - NCT03348761Recruiting
Brain stimulation for depression after antidepressants didn’t help
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) in people with major depression who did not respond to antidepressant medicines. It may help some participants improve depression symptoms over time.
Hong KongAges 18–64 - NCT05138588Recruiting
rTMS for thinking ups and downs in Lewy body dementia
This study tests whether repeat rTMS sessions can improve thinking “fluctuations” (noticeable ups and downs) in people with Lewy body dementia. It’s a proof-of-concept trial, meaning it’s mainly to see if the approach is feasible and potentially helpful.
StrasbourgAges 45 years+ - NCT07249801Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for hand grip and vision coordination
This trial uses a technique called closed-loop rTMS-EEG, which combines brain stimulation with brain-wave monitoring, to study how the brain controls hand grip based on visual cues. It may help researchers understand movement and vision integration.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06228235Recruiting
Brain stimulation to reduce smoking cravings
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) combined with a behavioral task can reduce your craving to smoke. It might help if you smoke regularly and want to cut back.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 18–60 - NCT07588113Recruiting
Brain Stimulation Study on Motor Control and Learning
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to understand how the brain controls movement and learning. Researchers will measure changes in your brain's electrical activity while you play a video game, which may help them understand how the brain learns new motor skills.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–45 - NCT07389213Recruiting
Can brain stimulation and hearing aids slow memory loss in older adults with hearing loss?
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) combined with hearing aids can help slow down thinking and memory decline in older adults who have age-related hearing loss.

Brain stimulation and BCI for arm movement after stroke
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with a brain-computer interface (a device that reads your brain signals) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some weakness but can move their fingers slightly.
ParisAges 18–85 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for rtms?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 213 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.
