Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02916810Recruiting
TMS for persistent auditory hallucinations using a new setup
This study tests a specific brain stimulation approach (TMS) to help reduce auditory hallucinations in adults with schizophrenia who have not improved enough with medications. It may help by changing how the brain regions involved in hearing voices are stimulated.
Houston, TexasAges 18–50 - NCT06527573Recruiting
Brain stimulation for consciousness after injury
This study tests if a special brain stimulation technique (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) can help people with disorders of consciousness after a recent brain injury. Researchers want to see if stimulating different spots on the brain improves recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangzhouAges 18–70 - NCT06834217Recruiting
Brain stimulation and facing fears in OCD
This study is testing a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS to see if it can help people with OCD reduce their symptoms by practicing facing their fears (a process called extinction). The trial involves wearing a head cap that delivers a mild electrical current while doing computer exercises.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–70 - NCT06847165Recruiting
Trigeminal nerve stimulation for kids with prenatal alcohol exposure
This study tests a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation device to see if it can improve attention and behavior in children aged 8-12 who were exposed to alcohol before birth and have ADHD. If it helps, it could offer a new way to manage symptoms without medication.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 8–12 - NCT01581580Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation surgery for movement disorders
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation surgery can help people with certain movement problems, chosen by a specialized team. You may be considered if medicines (or other treatments) aren’t controlling your symptoms well enough or if the condition causes major disability.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06930716Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation with physical therapy for consciousness disorders
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (a nerve in the neck) can help people with long-term disorders of consciousness move better during physical therapy. It may be an option if you are still in a coma, vegetative, or minimally conscious state and have been stable for more than 6 weeks.
New York, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT05956951Recruiting
