Brain stimulation study on stress and emotions
This study uses brain scans to understand how your brain responds to stress. You will complete tasks and answer questions while undergoing an MRI to help researchers learn more about emotional responses.

Brain stimulation for memory loss in older adults
This study tests a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation called iTBS to see if it can improve memory in older adults with mild memory problems. It may be a good option if you are generally healthy, independent, and have noticed your memory slipping but still do your daily activities on your own.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 65 years+ - NCT06642675Recruiting
Brain stimulation for negative symptoms in schizophrenia
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called nTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia, like lack of motivation or social withdrawal. It's a possible treatment option for people with stable schizophrenia who still struggle with these symptoms.
Changsha, HunanAges Up to 60 years - NCT06658769Recruiting
Brain stimulation to prevent confusion after surgery in older adults
This study tests if transcranial magnetic stimulation (a gentle brain stimulation) can help prevent or reduce confusion or memory problems after major surgery in people over 60. If you already have mild memory issues, this might help protect your thinking skills.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 60–120 - NCT06740747Recruiting
Brain stimulation for schizophrenia symptoms
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (called intermittent theta-burst stimulation) to see if it helps with symptoms like lack of motivation or trouble thinking clearly in people with schizophrenia. You will also have an MRI scan to see how the brain changes.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 18–65 - NCT06746922Recruiting
Brain stimulation for fibromyalgia pain
This study tests a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) to see if it can help reduce pain and improve daily function in people with fibromyalgia. It may offer a new option for managing your pain without medication changes.
Izmir, KarabaglarAges 18–65 - NCT06941961Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy after stroke clot removal
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can help people recover motor function after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for patients who had the clot removed successfully with a procedure within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT07026461RecruitingPhase 4
TMS for depression: comparing two brain stimulation methods
This trial compares two types of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see which works better for people with depression. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood regulation.
ÖrebroAges 18 years+ - NCT07073248Recruiting
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS to see if it can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It might help you regain some function in your weaker arm.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07073235Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help leg movement after chronic stroke
This trial is testing if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called iTBS, can improve leg movement in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some weakness on one side.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07114770Recruiting
Theta Burst Stimulation for Autism in Adults
This study tests whether a painless brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation (TBS) can help autistic adults when applied to the cerebellum. The goal is to see if one session or multiple sessions improve symptoms.
TaoyuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07121712Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Generalized Anxiety Disorder
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (cTBS) to treat Generalized Anxiety Disorder. You will receive navigated stimulation sessions, and no surgery or medication is used.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–60 - NCT07188376Recruiting
Using magnetic stimulation to reduce alcohol effects
This study tests whether a magnetic stimulation technique can reduce the disinhibiting effects of alcohol. It may help us understand better ways to support people who drink moderately.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 21–29 - NCT07197346Recruiting
Brain stimulation and practice study for healthy young adults
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve how well you learn a hand movement task. You will practice a motor task while receiving brief magnetic pulses to your scalp.
TaipeiAges 18–35 - NCT07264452Recruiting
Comparing two types of accelerated brain stimulation for tough depression
This study compares two fast types of brain stimulation (called accelerated theta burst stimulation) to see which works better for people whose depression hasn't improved with standard antidepressants. It's designed for people with treatment-resistant depression who are already on a stable antidepressant.
ErzurumAges 18–65 - NCT07316413Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for theta burst stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 121 recruiting theta burst stimulation 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 theta burst stimulation 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 theta burst stimulation 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.
