This trial tests if navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help reduce chronic tinnitus symptoms. It aims to find a safe and effective treatment option for people with persistent ringing in the ears.
SingaporeAges 21–80 - NCT07488429Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus therapy for leg function in cerebral palsy
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) with physical therapy can help improve leg movement and reduce muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than therapy alone.
AnkaraAges 5–18 - NCT07527403Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Functional Neurological Disorder
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can help improve movement problems caused by functional neurological disorder (FND). The study measures whether patients feel their symptoms improve after receiving this treatment.
RennesAges 18 years+ - NCT07530536Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Help Movement After Brain Tumor Surgery
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 22–65 - NCT07546877Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Improve Memory After Stroke
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that occur after a stroke. If you've had a stroke in the past year and are experiencing cognitive difficulties, this trial may help restore some of your mental abilities.
JinanAges 35–75 - NCT07554833Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Motor and Memory Skills
This study tests whether repeated magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the brain can help improve movement and thinking problems in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure how the treatment affects your motor control and cognitive function over the study period.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50–90 - NCT07559084Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Schizophrenia Negative Symptoms
This trial tests a newer form of brain stimulation called multi-target TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia—like reduced emotion, motivation, and speech—in people whose symptoms aren't fully controlled by medication alone.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 16–45 - NCT07608588Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Language Recovery After Stroke
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people regain language skills after a left-sided stroke, particularly for word-finding and meaning difficulties. Researchers will target specific brain regions to see if stimulation improves recovery.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07626216RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain Stimulation Study for Involuntary Movement Disorders
This research tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can help improve abnormal brain activity patterns in people with dystonia, a condition causing sustained involuntary movements. Researchers will use brain imaging to see if this treatment helps.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT07652775Recruiting
Brain stimulation and exercise for memory and mood
This study tests whether combining rTMS (a non‑invasive brain stimulation) with aerobic exercise can improve memory, thinking, and mood in older adults who have mild memory problems and depression. It may offer a safe, drug‑free way to help both brain health and emotional well‑being.
Taipei, Taipei CityAges 65–90 - NCT07151963Enrolling by invitation
Can brain stimulation reduce chemo nerve pain in breast cancer?
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation treatment (called theta burst) to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by breast cancer chemotherapy. If you have ongoing tingling or burning in your hands or feet, this treatment aims to calm those symptoms without using more medication.
New Taipei CityAges 18–80 - NCT06809387Enrolling by invitation
Magnetic brain stimulation for stuttering and reading in adults
This study tests whether a gentle magnetic stimulation technique called rTMS can help improve speech and reading fluency in adults who have stuttered since childhood. It aims to understand how a brain area involved in movement planning might play a role in stuttering.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06689345Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation study for chronic pain including post-COVID
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can reduce pain in people with chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, headaches, or pain that started after COVID-19. It is looking for healthy people and people with ongoing pain to see if the treatment helps.
Sâo Bernardo Do Campo, São PauloAges 18–64 - NCT06641193Enrolling by invitation
rTMS for arm slowness in early Parkinson's
This trial tests a brain stimulation technique called rTMS to see if it can help improve slowness of movement in the arm and hand. It's for people with early-stage Parkinson's whose symptoms started on the left side and whose main problem is moving slowly.
Shanghai, ChinaAges 50–75 - NCT05487911Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation (rTMS) for depression symptoms
This trial tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can reduce depression symptoms in adults with major depression. You would likely have several study visits that include brain scans (MRI) and treatment sessions to see if symptoms improve.

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.
