Brain stimulation study for depression treatment
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 - NCT07198542Enrolling by invitation
Vagus nerve stimulation for somatic symptom disorder
This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation on the vagus nerve in the ear or neck can help reduce physical symptoms that are closely linked to stress. It is for adults with somatic symptom disorder who are on stable medications.
Douliu, YunlinAges 18–65 - 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
tDCS brain stimulation for problematic internet gaming use
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 - 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 - 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 - 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
