Brain stimulation for cocaine use disorder
This study tests whether brain stimulation can help people with cocaine use disorder. It is a research study that aims to identify brain targets for treatment with a non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07318480Recruiting
tDCS for Cocaine Use Disorder
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS can help reduce cocaine use. You would receive several sessions of mild electrical current applied to your scalp, which may help control cravings and improve your ability to stay abstinent.
New York, New YorkAges 18–60 - NCT03935646RecruitingPhase 2
Test of Adderall’s short-term effects in college students with ADHD
This study measures how stimulant medication (Adderall) affects college students with ADHD in the short term. It compares people with ADHD to students without ADHD to see what changes you may notice during the study.
Laramie, WyomingAges 18–29 - NCT07176936Recruiting
Can ear stimulation improve hearing in noise?
This study tests whether a gentle, noninvasive ear stimulation device can help people hear speech better in noisy places. It is for people who have had a traumatic brain injury or those with normal hearing.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 25–55 - NCT06648759Recruiting
Vagal stimulator to reduce need for nasogastric tube
This trial tests if a device that stimulates the vagus nerve can help patients avoid needing a nasogastric tube after major abdominal surgery, specifically if they develop a slowdown in bowel function called postoperative ileus.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06963476Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation for substance use
This study uses a gentle magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help people who are already in treatment for alcohol or opioid addiction. The goal is to see if adding rTMS can reduce cravings and improve recovery.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18–60 - NCT07548944Recruiting
How Electrical Stimulation Affects Your Vision
This study watches how a treatment called transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES)—which uses gentle electrical pulses on your eye—affects your vision in the short term. You'll be observed while using the OkuStim device, and researchers will ask about any improvements you notice in your sight.
Frankfurt am MainAges 18 years+ - NCT07469384Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for schizophrenia using tDCS
This study tests whether a mild form of brain stimulation called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help improve symptoms of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. tDCS uses small electrodes on the scalp to gently stimulate brain areas involved in vision and thinking.
Orangeburg, New YorkAges 18–55 - NCT06023602Recruiting
Generic vs. brand-name cetrorelix for IVF ovarian stimulation
This trial compares a generic version of cetrorelix acetate (a medication used to control ovulation) to the brand-name version during IVF. It aims to see if the generic works just as well for women undergoing ovarian stimulation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stimulant use?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 174 recruiting stimulant use 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 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 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.
