Brain stimulation to reduce cannabis craving in schizophrenia
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help reduce cravings for cannabis in people with schizophrenia. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes for those who use cannabis and have a psychotic disorder.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–65 - NCT04109365Recruiting
Study of epidural placement technique during labor
This trial studies an approach to placing an epidural (pain medicine placed near the spine) during early labor. It aims to improve how safely and accurately epidurals are positioned, which may help with comfort during childbirth.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06991205Recruiting
Web mind-body program for pain and substance use
This trial tests a web-based mind-body program to help people who have ongoing arm or hand pain and also use substances like alcohol or cannabis. It aims to improve resilience and reduce pain without requiring in-person visits.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06806267Recruiting
VR therapy with brain stimulation for PTSD in Ukrainians
This study tests if combining virtual reality therapy with a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help treat PTSD symptoms in Ukrainian veterans and civilians. It may offer a new way to process traumatic memories.
BerlinAges 18–75 - NCT06773949Recruiting
Exercise before rTMS for hard-to-treat depression
This trial tests if doing exercise before repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve depression symptoms in people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18–75 - NCT07377305Recruiting
Brain stimulation for nerve pain in NMOSD
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method (tTIS) to treat chronic nerve pain in people with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can reduce pain without surgery or drugs.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06587841Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for early spinal cord injury
This study tests a noninvasive spinal cord stimulation device for people with recent or long-term spinal cord injury. It aims to improve bladder function and is conducted in British Columbia, Canada, and Ukraine.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19–65 - NCT07410104Recruiting
Brain stimulation for social media addiction
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help reduce social media addiction in adults. You may qualify if you struggle with heavy social media use and are not currently being treated for certain mental health conditions.
AlmadaAges 18 years+ - NCT06974838Recruiting
Theta burst stimulation for emotion regulation in autism
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation to see if it helps people with autism who have limited verbal skills or intellectual disability manage their emotions better. It may offer a new way to support emotional well-being.
TaoyuanAges 8–30 - NCT07761507Recruiting
Ear stimulation to help wake up after brain bleed surgery
This trial tests a gentle ear stimulation device that may help people regain consciousness after surgery for a brain bleed. It is done while the person is in the hospital and may improve recovery.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05212129Recruiting
Stimulation of the ear nerve to help gut symptoms
This study tests whether stimulating a nerve in the ear (called auricular vagal nerve stimulation) can improve upper gut symptoms in teens who may have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) or hypermobile spectrum disorder (HSD). It also checks whether this treatment helps nerves that control the body (autonomic nervous system) and how well the gut moves.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 10–18 - NCT07657234RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brain stimulation for depression in older adults
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help treat depression in people aged 60 and older. tDCS uses a mild electrical current to gently stimulate the brain and may improve mood when added to your current depression treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 60 years+ - NCT07572526Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Improve Sleep and Mood in Depression
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) to see if improving sleep can help reduce depression symptoms. You'll do short stimulation sessions at home and track your sleep and mood.

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.
