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 - NCT07207239Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression
This trial is testing a type of brain stimulation therapy called theta-burst rTMS to see if it helps with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It also uses brain scans to predict who might respond best.
Budapest, Pest CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06931236Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for anxiety and insomnia
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people with both anxiety and insomnia. Treatments target a specific brain region to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 15–65 - NCT06247904Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for arm paralysis after spinal cord injury
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation method (NIBS) to help people with recent spinal cord injuries regain arm and hand function. It is designed for patients who have some paralysis in their arms but still have some movement or sensation below their injury level.
Elkins Park, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT06570824Recruiting
Can repetitive TMS help with levodopa-induced dyskinesia?
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive TMS can reduce the involuntary movements (dyskinesia) that some people with Parkinson's disease experience as a side effect of their levodopa medication. If you have Parkinson's and bothersome dyskinesia when your medication is working, this trial may be an option.
HvidovreAges 18–80 - NCT07787793Recruiting
Effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on hand movement after stroke
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve hand movement in people who have had a stroke and have severe arm weakness. It uses a special device to stimulate the brain and may help with motor recovery.
Palma, Balearic IslandsAges 18 years+ - NCT07786649Recruiting
Non-invasive brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests different types of non-invasive brain stimulation to see which one helps people recover better from stroke-related problems like arm weakness, leg weakness, neglect, or speaking difficulty.
SingaporeAges 21–80 - NCT06884488Recruiting
Effects of brain stimulation on throat muscles
This study tests if two types of brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and paired associative stimulation) can affect the brain area that controls swallowing. It aims to understand how these stimulation methods work in healthy volunteers.
ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT05236010Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus cognitive training for mild TBI memory and thinking
This trial studies whether brain stimulation through the scalp can improve cognitive (thinking and memory) training in people with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants train on thinking tasks while receiving a targeted “control network neuromodulation” approach to see if it enhances training results.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–59 - NCT07595185Enrolling by invitation
Brain Stimulation to Improve Sleep in Chronic Insomnia
This study tests whether accelerated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can improve sleep architecture and quality in people with chronic insomnia. The treatment may help you fall asleep faster and sleep longer without medication.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - 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.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05975606Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus cycling to improve leg movement after spinal injury
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation paired with assisted “FES” cycling can improve walking-related leg movement in people after spinal cord injury. You may be able to take part if you can already walk short distances independently and your injury is stable (non-progressive).
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07457489Recruiting
Brain stimulation for opioid recovery
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to see if it can reduce opioid cravings and help people who are already taking buprenorphine stay in recovery. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain involved in addiction.
Brentwood, TennesseeAges 18–65 - NCT07474974Recruiting
Can Eye Cells Predict TMS Success for Depression?
This study tests whether a specific type of eye cell can predict how well transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) works for treating depression. TMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation method that may help people with depression that hasn't responded to other treatments.
Porto, Porto DistrictAges 18–65 - NCT06634498Recruiting

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+ - NCT07636694Recruiting
Brain Stimulation and Thinking Pattern Training for Depression

Fast brain stimulation for addiction and depression
This study tests a quick, non-invasive brain stimulation method (rTMS) to help people who use stimulants like cocaine or methamphetamine and also feel depressed. The goal is to see if it can reduce cravings and improve mood.

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.
