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.

TMS therapy for jaw and face pain
This trial tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can reduce long-lasting jaw and face pain caused by temporomandibular disorders. It might help people who have had pain for over six months and rate their pain as high.
CoimbraAges 18 years+ - NCT07399496Recruiting
Fast TMS for apathy in Parkinson's disease
This study tests a faster version of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help with apathy—low motivation and lack of interest—in people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive several TMS sessions each day over a short period, and the study team will check if your mood and motivation improve.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 45–85 - NCT06802939Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation for voices in schizophrenia
This trial tests a targeted brain stimulation method (rTMS) using brain imaging to treat persistent auditory hallucinations that haven't improved with medication. It may help people with schizophrenia who continue to hear voices despite trying multiple antipsychotics.
ShanghaiAges 13–55 - 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.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 50–85 - NCT07369180Enrolling by invitation
TMS for treatment-resistant depression in adults
This study tests a new type of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for adults whose depression hasn't gotten better with medication. It compares the real treatment to a sham (inactive) version to see how well it works.
Campbell, CaliforniaAges 22–85 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07247552Recruiting
Personalized rTMS for chronic pain
This study tests if personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce chronic pain. It aims to find out if targeting specific brain areas based on your pain patterns works better than standard treatment.
GistrupAges 18–80 - NCT05489042Recruiting
Brain scan and rTMS study for suicidal thoughts in opioid users
This study looks at brain connectivity using an MRI scan and then treats some people with rTMS (a non-surgical brain stimulation). It’s designed for adults who use opioids and currently have active suicidal thoughts, to better understand and help those symptoms.
Houston, TexasAges 18–64 - NCT06228235Recruiting

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.
