Brain wiring study in autism using safe hearing tasks
This study looks at how a brain chemical related to calming signals (“GABA”) may affect how people process sounds in autism. The goal is to understand brain function during hearing tasks, which could help guide future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 11–25 - NCT04474015Enrolling by invitation
Testing a brain-stimulation setup for comfortable sleep
This study tests how comfortable a noninvasive brain stimulation method (putting small electrodes on the head) feels during sleep. It’s looking for healthy adults who fit specific sleep and health limits so results can be compared cleanly.
Ages 18–39 - NCT07587112Recruiting
TMS treatment for OCD: brain imaging study
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with OCD. You will get rTMS while having brain scans (PET and MRI) to see how it affects your symptoms. It's a chance to learn more about your OCD and possibly find relief.
TaipeiAges 18–65 - NCT07336251Recruiting
TMS for PTSD in Veterans
This study tests transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for PTSD in Veterans. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas linked to PTSD, aiming to reduce symptoms without medication.
White River Junction, VermontAges 19–70 - NCT06976840Recruiting
Rapid antidepressant effects of new brain stimulation methods
This trial tests whether two types of non-invasive brain stimulation can quickly improve depression symptoms. It may be an option for adults with major depression who are not currently taking psychiatric medication.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–55 - NCT06225245Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for arm recovery
This study tests whether a device placed on the spinal cord (called an epidural stimulator) can help improve arm and hand function in people with chronic spinal cord injuries. The goal is to boost nerve activity and make rehabilitation more effective.
Houston, TexasAges 22–65 - NCT05908214Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for leg stiffness and overactive nerves
This study tests a treatment using high-frequency electrical stimulation to reduce overactive nerve signals that can cause stiff legs, poor ankle control, cramps, or restless legs. It may help improve movement and comfort during walking or at night, depending on the condition.
LausanneAges 18 years+ - NCT06515223Recruiting
Pelvic rehab with spinal cord stimulation after injury
This study tests a spinal cord stimulator to help improve bladder and pelvic function in people with a spinal cord injury. You would use a small device placed near the spine that sends electrical pulses to help control your bladder better.
StanmoreAges 18 years+ - NCT07474974Recruiting
Can Eye Cells Predict TMS Success for Depression?
This study tests whether a specific type of eye cell can predict how well transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) works for treating depression. TMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation method that may help people with depression that hasn't responded to other treatments.
Porto, Porto DistrictAges 18–65 - NCT06847295Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for standing and walking after paralysis
This trial tests if a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord, combined with daily therapy, can help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain some ability to stand or walk. It also looks at reducing muscle spasms and improving quality of life.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–50 - NCT07446088Recruiting
Home electric stimulation for better blood flow
This trial tests a home-use device that uses mild electric stimulation to improve blood circulation. It may help if you are looking for a non-drug way to boost circulation.
WŏnjuAges 19–65 - NCT06671457Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for insomnia
This trial tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method (transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) to improve sleep in adults with insomnia. It may help if you have trouble sleeping and haven't tried certain other treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT04972136Recruiting
Brain stimulation treatment for depression in young adults with autism
This trial studies a noninvasive brain stimulation (rTMS) to help reduce depression symptoms in young adults who have autism. It aims to find out if this treatment can improve mood and daily functioning without requiring recent changes to medications.
Toronto, OntarioAges 16–35 - NCT06976697Recruiting
Home-based tDCS for major depression
This trial tests a home-use device that sends a small electrical current to the brain to treat major depression. It may be a good option if you are already on antidepressant medication and have a smartphone.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22–70 - NCT07376278Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation outcomes in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at factors that predict how well deep brain stimulation (DBS) works for people with Parkinson's disease. If you are considering DBS, joining this research could help doctors better understand who benefits most from the procedure.
Hong KongAges 18–75 - NCT06837038Enrolling by invitation
Rhythmic beats to improve walking after stroke or Parkinson's
This trial tests whether listening to rhythmic music while walking can improve gait problems caused by stroke, Parkinson's disease, or other parkinsonism conditions. It is designed for people who can walk on their own but have an uneven or slow pace.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–80 - NCT05706831Recruiting
Music and gentle brain stimulation after neurological injury
This trial tests whether combining music with gentle electrical brain stimulation can improve symptoms after a neurologic event, such as language and attention problems. It’s meant for adults who are living with effects of stroke and certain levels of reduced awareness.
Bari, BaAges 18 years+ - NCT07245641Recruiting
Targeted brain stimulation for PTSD
This trial tests a new form of brain stimulation (called targeted accelerated TMS) to see if it can help reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It involves daily sessions over a short period and may be an option if you have at least moderate PTSD symptoms and a stable treatment plan.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT07389694Recruiting
Brain stimulation for stuttering: a TMS study
This study tests whether a non‑invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce stuttering. The trial involves sitting in a chair while a magnetic coil gently stimulates parts of your brain that control speech.
Manhattan, KansasAges 18–65 - NCT05492032Recruiting
Brain stimulation sessions for teens with autism symptoms
This trial tests whether repeated, brain-based stimulation (done through the scalp) can improve symptoms in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, and whether a later “booster” session adds more benefit. It may help learn which stimulation schedule works best, especially when teens also have attention symptoms—but not epilepsy or mood/anxiety disorders.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 12–21 - NCT07153211Recruiting
Chemicals in spinal fluid and blood during spinal cord stimulation for nerve pain
This study is testing a spinal cord stimulation treatment for long-term nerve pain. It will look at certain chemicals in your spinal fluid and blood to understand how the treatment works.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stimulant use disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 349 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.
