tDCS training to reduce cannabis use in people with schizophrenia
This trial tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation method (tDCS) can help people with schizophrenia who also have moderate-to-severe cannabis use disorder reduce or quit cannabis. It also involves MRI scanning to help study brain changes.
BronAges 18–60 - NCT03298243Recruiting
Sensory training to improve arm control after stroke
This study tests a hands-on sensory training approach that uses signals from one sense to help your brain control your arm and hand after stroke. It may help improve grip and arm steadiness, especially for people who still have mild-to-moderate arm weakness more than 6 months after a stroke.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 21 years+ - NCT07216872Recruiting
Deep TMS to reduce heavy drinking in alcohol use disorder
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation device (Deep TMS) to help people with alcohol use disorder reduce or stop heavy drinking. It uses magnetic pulses to target brain areas linked to addiction.
Tuscaloosa, AlabamaAges 18–86 - NCT07269925Recruiting
How different electrical frequencies affect muscle strength and pain
This study tests whether changing the electrical frequency during a type of nerve stimulation (percutaneous neuromodulation) can improve muscle strength and reduce pain sensitivity in people with a hidden muscle knot (trigger point) in the shoulder blade area.
Krakow, PolandAges 18–65 - NCT07659964Recruiting
Rhythmic music and walking study for Alzheimer's
This study tests whether listening to a steady beat (rhythmic music) while walking can improve movement and brain function in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 50–90 - NCT05705999Recruiting
TMS treatment plus CBIT study for Tourette’s tics
This trial tests whether a treatment called TMS, added to an evidence-based therapy called CBIT, can reduce Tourette’s tics more than CBIT alone. You may be assigned to different study groups, and they will also use brain imaging to measure changes.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 18–100 - NCT07378722Recruiting
Personalized music therapy for balance in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether listening to personalized music can help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson's. If you have mild balance issues and are between 45 and 55, this trial might be a good fit.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–55 - NCT05292794Recruiting
CereGate therapy for freezing of gait in Parkinson’s
This trial tests whether CereGate therapy can reduce “freezing of gait,” a walking problem, in people with Parkinson’s disease who already have deep brain stimulation (DBS). If you meet the device and medication stability requirements, the study may help your walking and movement symptoms measured during testing.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 21–80 - NCT03452202Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve speech after stroke
This trial studies whether gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve speech after a stroke. It focuses on people with stroke-related apraxia of speech while carefully checking hearing, brain function, and safety with devices or metal.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stimulant use?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 171 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.
