TaipeiAges 20–50 - NCT07228468Recruiting
Home brain stimulation for depression
This trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the head at home can help reduce symptoms of major depression. You would use a device for short sessions over several weeks, while continuing your usual care.
CardiffAges 18 years+ - NCT05035511Recruiting
Predicting tDCS results in autistic teens with machine learning
This study uses machine learning to predict how well a teen with autism may respond to tDCS, a non-invasive brain stimulation. It mainly looks at personal factors (like understanding instructions and baseline abilities) to better estimate treatment outcomes.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 12–22 - NCT07228182Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for gambling disorder
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called high-intensity transcranial alternating current stimulation to see if it can reduce gambling urges and behavior in people with gambling disorder.
ShanghaiAges 18–60 - NCT06655883RecruitingPhase 3
Testing suvorexant for insomnia in people with opioid use disorder
This study tests whether the sleep medication suvorexant (Belsomra) can help people with opioid use disorder who also have trouble sleeping. If you are stable on medication for opioid use disorder and have not used opioids in the last month, this trial may be an option for you.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–70 - NCT07556692Recruiting
Home Brain Stimulation for Bipolar Depression
This study tests whether a device you use at home can help reduce depression symptoms in people with bipolar disorder. The device uses gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp to potentially improve mood.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT03918577Recruiting
Caloric stimulation to help thinking in OCD spectrum
This trial studies whether a gentle inner-ear stimulation can change how people experience troubling thoughts in OCD-spectrum conditions. If you have strongly held intrusive worries related to these conditions, the study may help see whether this approach can reduce their impact.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06667180RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Low-Intensity Magnetic Stimulation for Major Depression
This study tests whether low-intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation can help treat major depressive disorder and looks at how it affects certain brain chemicals. It's for people currently getting depression treatment who are not pregnant and have no metal implants or certain health conditions.
León, GuanajuatoAges 18–60 - NCT07055373Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for chronic whiplash pain
This trial tests if a gentle nerve stimulation device on the ear can reduce neck pain and disability in people with long-term whiplash symptoms. It aims to find a safe, non-drug option for pain relief.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–65 - NCT07031544Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for severe OCD
This study tests whether implanting a small device deep in the brain—like a pacemaker for OCD—can help people whose severe OCD hasn't gotten better with standard medications and therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06667232Recruiting
Burst stimulation for epilepsy using implanted electrodes
This trial tests a new way to stimulate the brain using bursts of electrical pulses in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It might help find better treatment options for those who are already undergoing SEEG monitoring as part of their presurgical evaluation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 14–65 - NCT06234969Recruiting
Brain stimulation for PTSD: a learning study
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called cTBS can help people with PTSD learn to overcome fear. You will have brain scans and receive stimulation to see if it improves how your brain processes fear-related memories.

Testing a new device for knee, arm, or shoulder pain
This study tests a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the knee, arm, or shoulder. It is for people whose pain started after surgery or injury and who have not found enough relief with standard treatments.
Panama City, Provincia de PanamáAges 18–80 - NCT07208942Recruiting
Testing brain signals from rectal stimulation in consciousness disorders

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.
