Recruiting studies
- NCT06964243Recruiting
Brain stimulation for nerve pain relief
This trial tests if mild magnetic pulses to the brain area controlling movement can safely reduce nerve pain from damaged peripheral nerves.
Créteil, Île-de-France RegionAges 18–80 - NCT07115628Recruiting
Accelerated TMS for treatment-resistant depression
This trial tests an accelerated form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for people with treatment-resistant depression who have been referred for ECT. It aims to offer a non-invasive, less intensive alternative with fewer side effects.
Jette, Brussels CapitalAges 18–70 - NCT07103135RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an accelerated TMS for chronic pain
This study tests an accelerated form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) — a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain — to see if it can reduce chronic pain. If you have long-term pain that hasn't responded well to at least two medications, this trial might be a good option for you.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07105475Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for ADHD treatment
This trial uses a non-invasive technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) to treat ADHD. You will receive either high or low frequency paired stimulation to see if it helps improve symptoms.
BeershebaAges 18–65 - NCT06568536Recruiting
EEG Study to Predict Recovery After Brain Injury
This study uses a special EEG test to measure brain activity in people who are not fully conscious after a recent brain injury. The goal is to find better ways to know if someone will wake up and recover thinking abilities.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06976879Recruiting
Study of brain stimulation in healthy adults
This study uses a safe form of brain stimulation (TMS) combined with brain imaging to see how the brain's prefrontal area responds differently in healthy people. It may help researchers understand brain function better.
Hong KongAges 18–60 - NCT07084649RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Dual-target brain stimulation for teens with ADHD
This trial tests a new brain stimulation method (iTBS) targeting two areas of the brain to help teens with ADHD who haven't improved enough with medication. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Shanghai, None SelectedAges 10–18 - NCT07071259Recruiting
Brain activity and structure study in healthy adults
This study looks at how your brain's electrical activity relates to its structure using safe, non-invasive techniques (TMS, EEG, and MRI). It's a chance to learn more about how the healthy brain works, and you'll be asked to have brain scans and a mild stimulation session.
MarseilleAges 18–35 - NCT07060066Recruiting
TMS for depression in schizophrenia
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help with depression in people who have schizophrenia. You would receive TMS sessions targeting areas of the brain linked to mood, and the goal is to see if this improves depression symptoms.
Houston, TexasAges 18–60 - NCT07059325RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Quick brain stimulation for seizures caused by stress or emotional distress
This trial tests if a fast form of brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce seizures that are caused by stress or emotional triggers — not epilepsy. It's for people who have been diagnosed with functional seizures and have not gotten better with talk therapy alone.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–65 - NCT07050862Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation to help veterans quit smoking
This study tests a personalized brain stimulation treatment to help veterans quit smoking. It uses magnetic pulses to target brain areas involved in addiction, which may reduce cravings and make it easier to stop.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT07050069Recruiting
Breathing training for spinal cord injury patients
This study tests a new breathing exercise method combined with a gentle brain stimulation technique to help people with spinal cord injury improve their breathing and lung function. It may be an option if your injury is recent and at or above the mid-back level.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT07025720Recruiting
Brain stimulation for depression and suicide risk in young people
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for young people ages 15-25 who are having serious depression and suicidal thoughts. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce risk and improve mood.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 15–25 - NCT06999304Enrolling by invitation
Pilot TMS for ongoing mild concussion symptoms
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help people with ongoing symptoms after a mild concussion. If you have had concussion symptoms for at least a month but less than a year, you may be able to join.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT06997549Recruiting
Review of mental health treatment outcomes
This study looks back at information from a large database of people who received mental health treatments. It aims to understand how well treatments worked and what factors influenced outcomes.
Malvern, PennsylvaniaAges 5–100 - NCT06999330Enrolling by invitation
TMS for anxiety in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain treatment, can help reduce anxiety in people with Parkinson's disease. You may qualify if you have both Parkinson's and significant anxiety symptoms.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 40–90 - NCT06986460RecruitingPhase 3
Low-frequency TMS for bipolar depression
This study tests whether low-frequency TMS (a gentle magnetic stimulation to a specific part of the brain) can help treat depression in people with bipolar disorder who did not get enough benefit from a previous study. You must be on a mood stabilizer and not taking certain anticonvulsant medications.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06968390Recruiting
Faster TMS for depression during pregnancy or after childbirth
This trial tests a faster form of TMS (brain stimulation) for people with depression who are pregnant (14-34 weeks) or within one year of giving birth. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and well-tolerated.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–55 - NCT06968663RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation with speech therapy for recent stroke aphasia
This study tests if adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to language therapy can improve speech recovery in people who had a stroke 2 to 6 weeks ago and now have aphasia (trouble speaking or understanding language).
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT06960083Recruiting
TMS therapy for sound sensitivity (misophonia)
This trial tests if magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce the intense anger or fear triggered by certain sounds. It's for adults who feel very distressed by specific noises.
New York, New YorkAges 18–55 - NCT06956300Recruiting
TMS to help with thinking and memory in aging
This study uses a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to see if it can slow cognitive decline in older adults who are healthy or have very early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve memory and thinking.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–99 - NCT06917339Recruiting
A study looking at past treatment records
This trial looks back at medical records in the TrakStar database to understand how treatments were given. It does not test a new drug, but helps researchers learn from past treatment experiences.
Malvern, PennsylvaniaAges 5–120 - NCT06316557Recruiting
TMS for memory and thinking after stroke
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation treatment (TMS) can help improve memory and thinking after a recent stroke. It is for people who had their first stroke within the last two weeks and have mild cognitive difficulties.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06842745RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation plus language therapy for mild aphasia
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with language therapy can help people with mild aphasia after a stroke. It aims to improve speaking and understanding.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40–85

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.
