Belmont, MassachusettsAges 18–55 - 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 - NCT05561205Recruiting
Brain stimulation to treat persistent apathy
This trial tests a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (called rTMS) to help people who have had ongoing apathy (lack of motivation/interest) for at least a month. You might benefit if your apathy is persistent, your other symptoms are stable, and you meet the safety and medication rules.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT05645003Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy for nerve pain after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether painless magnetic stimulation of the brain (non-surgical) can reduce long-lasting nerve pain after spinal cord injury. It may help people whose spinal cord injury-related pain has been present for at least six months.
AfyonkarahisarAges 20–70 - NCT05832567Recruiting
Study of hidden and open placebo effects in stroke recovery
This study looks at how “open” (told) and “hidden” (not told) placebo effects may change arm recovery after a long-term stroke. You would do recovery-related assessments and likely receive brain-stimulation or related procedures to test these effects.
Cambridge, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05900271Recruiting
Trial for depression using new brain-stimulation sessions
This study tests whether a specific type of brain stimulation (theta burst delivered over several days) works better than standard rTMS given over 6 weeks for people with treatment-resistant depression. It may help improve depressive symptoms, measured with multiple depression rating scales.
Nijmegen, GLAges 18–99 - NCT05964192Recruiting
Neuro test help after rTMS for treatment-resistant depression
This study checks whether a set of brain and hormone-related blood/marker tests can help predict or improve how well rTMS works for depression. It’s for adults whose depression has not responded to two antidepressants.
