Recruiting studies
- NCT07457489Recruiting
Brain stimulation for opioid recovery
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to see if it can reduce opioid cravings and help people who are already taking buprenorphine stay in recovery. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain involved in addiction.

Can brain stimulation help with thinking skills in alcohol use disorder?
This study tests if a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive TMS (rTMS) can improve thinking skills like decision-making and focus in people recovering from alcohol use disorder. You must have been alcohol-free for 8 weeks to 5 years.

Brain state test for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether we can use brain scans to predict when your brain is ready to move your weak arm after a stroke. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure brain signals.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07422844Recruiting
Brain network changes during TMS for depression
This study looks at how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) affects brain networks in people being treated for depression. If you are already scheduled to receive TMS for depression, you may be able to join and help researchers understand how the treatment works.

Brain stimulation for depression in young people
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can help treat depression in people aged 15 to 25. It involves a quick, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to the head, and researchers want to see how it affects thinking and mood.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 15–25 - NCT07397897Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation and memory test study
This trial uses brain stimulation (TMS) to see if it can improve memory. It involves recording brain activity with electrodes already placed for medical reasons.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07378332Enrolling by invitation
Memory study using brain stimulation
This trial uses brain stimulation to study how memory works. It may help people undergoing epilepsy monitoring learn more about their memory.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07369557Recruiting
Mindfulness training with TMS for depression
This trial combines mindfulness training with accelerated TMS therapy for depression. It tests if adding mindfulness helps improve treatment outcomes.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT07369180Enrolling by invitation
TMS for treatment-resistant depression in adults
This study tests a new type of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for adults whose depression hasn't gotten better with medication. It compares the real treatment to a sham (inactive) version to see how well it works.
Campbell, CaliforniaAges 22–85 - NCT07276035Recruiting
Brain-stomach circuits in chronic nausea
This study looks at how the brain and stomach communicate in people with chronic nausea. It uses a noninvasive brain stimulation method called TMS to understand brain activity. You may qualify if you have chronic nausea or are a healthy volunteer.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 21–60 - NCT06892457Recruiting
Testing epilepsy drugs with brain stimulation
This study uses a special type of brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to measure how well epilepsy medications are working in adults with epilepsy.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06892028Recruiting
EEG-guided brain stimulation for PTSD in veterans and first responders
This study tests if personalized brain stimulation guided by your brain waves (EEG) can reduce PTSD symptoms. It's for veterans and first responders who have had PTSD for at least 6 months.
Dayton, OhioAges 22–65 - NCT07267455Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation for chronic tinnitus
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called personalized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see if it can reduce the loudness or annoyance of chronic tinnitus. Participation involves daily sessions for 5 days at the hospital.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07251816Recruiting
How the brain creates motivation
This study looks at how your brain creates motivation by using brain scans and sometimes gentle stimulation. It is for healthy people who want to help researchers understand normal brain function.
BronAges 18–40 - 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 - NCT07197138Recruiting
TMS for depression with long COVID
This trial tests whether accelerated TMS (a brain stimulation treatment) can help people with depression who also have long COVID. It may be an option if your depression hasn't improved enough with medication alone.
Munich, BavariaAges 18–65 - NCT07197502Recruiting
Treating borderline personality disorder with brain stimulation
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help treat borderline personality disorder (BPD). It aims to see if this treatment can improve symptoms and is safe for people with BPD.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07180654Recruiting
TMS brain stimulation study in menstrual cycle
This study uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, to see how it affects brain plasticity (the brain's ability to change) throughout the menstrual cycle. It may help researchers understand differences in brain function related to hormones.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 20–40 - NCT07179406Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulators for restless leg syndrome
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator can help people with restless leg syndrome (RLS). It compares people with RLS to healthy volunteers to see if the device reduces symptoms.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07179419Recruiting
Long-term effects of HIFU for rectal endometriosis
This study checks how well High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment works over time for people with rectal endometriosis. It's for those who already had HIFU in one of the earlier studies and want to help researchers understand long-term results.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07145866RecruitingPhase 4
Varenicline and TMS for quitting nicotine use
This study tests whether combining the medication varenicline (Chantix) with a special brain stimulation treatment (TMS) can help people quit vaping or smoking nicotine. If you're motivated to quit and use nicotine daily, you may be able to join.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for tms?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 191 recruiting tms 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 tms 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 tms 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.
