This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation called theta-burst stimulation to see if it helps treat depression. It is for people aged 18-50 who are currently experiencing a major depressive episode and are on a stable antidepressant regimen.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–50 - NCT01666080Recruiting
Second bone marrow transplant with gentler chemotherapy
This trial studies a “reduced intensity” second transplant using donated blood-forming cells, for people whose first transplant did not fully and reliably restart blood production. It aims to improve donor blood cell growth while using a less harsh conditioning approach.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 55 years - NCT04999553Recruiting
Comparing brain stimulation on left vs right side for depression
This study tests whether delivering a type of brain stimulation to the left side of the head is as effective as delivering it to the right side for treating major depression. The treatment is called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18–65 - NCT04120714Recruiting

This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation method (tDCS) can help teens or adults reduce problematic internet gaming. It’s designed for people who meet diagnostic criteria for “pathological use of internet gaming.”
DijonAges 12 years+ - NCT06728280Recruiting
DTMS for teens with depression: safety and effectiveness
This trial tests if a new type of brain stimulation called DTMS can safely help adolescents with major depression. It may be an option if you have tried other treatments and are looking for a non-medication approach.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 11–23 - NCT07226284Recruiting
Testing a nerve stimulation device for leg movement in Parkinson's
This study tests if a device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a nerve in your neck) can improve leg muscle activity and walking balance in people with Parkinson's disease. You would participate in experiments while wearing the device to see how it affects your movement.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–76 - NCT06498349Recruiting
DBS for Parkinson's impulse control problems
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus can help control impulse control problems (like gambling, overeating, or shopping) in people with Parkinson's disease. It is for patients whose medication-related impulse symptoms are moderate to severe and who are good candidates for DBS surgery.
CologneAges 18–70 - NCT07345377Enrolling by invitation
Personalized brain stimulation for irritable bowel syndrome
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) customized for each person to treat IBS. It uses MRI scans to see how the brain responds, aiming to find better ways to predict who will benefit from this therapy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06389175Enrolling by invitation
Non-invasive ear stimulation for depression
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve in your ear to see if it can improve how your stomach and brain communicate, which may help with depression symptoms.
BonnAges 18–55 - NCT06892028Recruiting
EEG-guided brain stimulation for PTSD in veterans and first responders
This study tests if personalized brain stimulation guided by your brain waves (EEG) can reduce PTSD symptoms. It's for veterans and first responders who have had PTSD for at least 6 months.
Dayton, OhioAges 22–65 - NCT07017322Recruiting
Brain stimulation for mealtime anxiety in eating disorders
This study tests a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation device (like a mild electrical current) to see if it can reduce mealtime anxiety for adults with eating disorders in an inpatient program. If it works, it might help you feel calmer and eat more comfortably.
Oconomowoc, WisconsinAges 18–30 - NCT06644807Recruiting
Neuromodulation for phantom limb pain after amputation
This trial tests a new approach to suppress phantom limb pain using neuromodulation methods. It may help people who have had a limb amputated and continue to experience persistent pain.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18–65 - NCT06725836Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation study for spinal cord injury
This study tests how spinal cord stimulation affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injuries. It aims to understand the physiological effects using EEG (a brainwave test).
Vladivostok, Primorskiy (Maritime) KrayAges Any age - NCT07786714Recruiting
Faster brain stimulation for early psychosis risk
This study tests a faster type of brain stimulation, called accelerated neuromodulation therapy, in people who have early signs that could lead to psychosis. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve daily life.
Verdun, QuebecAges 18–34 - NCT06163625Recruiting
Brain activity and memory in treatment-resistant depression
This study looks at how the brain's frontal lobe (DLPFC) works during memory tasks in people with treatment-resistant depression. It compares brain activity between depressed patients and healthy controls using MRI and possibly a brain stimulation technique (rTMS). It aims to understand why some people don't respond to standard treatments.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT07548801Enrolling by invitation
Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease Movement
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique applied to the back of your brain (cerebellum) can help improve movement and balance in people with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses a small electrical current to stimulate brain activity.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07092280Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for children with autism
This trial tests if mild electrical stimulation applied to the head (tDCS) can help children with autism. Your child must be enrolled in ABA therapy and be off certain medications to join.
Staten Island, New YorkAges 5–12 - NCT06221358Recruiting
ADHD medication and your genes study
This study looks at how your genes affect your response to Methylphenidate (a common ADHD medication, excluding the quick-release forms). If you live in Western Canada and are starting this treatment, your participation could help doctors personalize ADHD care in the future.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 6–24 - NCT06152705Recruiting
fMRI-Guided vs. Standard Brain Stimulation for Depression
This study compares two types of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat depression. One type uses a brain scan (fMRI) to guide the treatment, while the other uses a standard approach. It may help people whose depression hasn't improved with medication.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05554172Recruiting
Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation during refeeding for low weight

Brain stimulation plus writing therapy for PTSD symptoms
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation (rTMS) combined with a structured writing therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. It may help by boosting how the brain processes traumatic memories while you work through them in writing.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stimulant use disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 350 recruiting stimulant use disorder 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 stimulant use disorder 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 stimulant use disorder 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.
