Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06589544Recruiting
Virtual reality and brain stimulation for depression in cancer patients
This trial tests whether combining virtual reality therapy with transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain treatment) can help reduce depression in people who have had cancer in the last 5 years. It aims to improve mood without using medication.
Ferrara, FEAges 18–100 - NCT06597942RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Deep TMS for Alzheimer's disease
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep repetitive TMS on a brain region linked to memory. It aims to see if this treatment can improve symptoms in people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 60–100 - NCT06601179Recruiting
HIFU ultrasound for enlarged prostate
This trial tests a focused ultrasound treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. It aims to see if HIFU can safely relieve symptoms like weak urine flow and frequent urination.
BesançonAges 50–85 - NCT06631209Recruiting
TMS for Better Sleep in Insomnia
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can improve sleep in people with moderate to severe insomnia. You would come to the University of Arizona for several sessions, and the treatment is painless and doesn't require surgery.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–60 - NCT06633913Recruiting
Brain imaging and stimulation study for depression
This study uses brain scans and magnetic stimulation to understand depression. It is testing how the brain responds to treatment and may help find better ways to treat depression.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–65 - NCT06667180RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Low-Intensity Magnetic Stimulation for Major Depression
This study tests whether low-intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation can help treat major depressive disorder and looks at how it affects certain brain chemicals. It's for people currently getting depression treatment who are not pregnant and have no metal implants or certain health conditions.
León, GuanajuatoAges 18–60 - NCT06678737RecruitingPhase 2
TMS plus behavioral therapy for teens with tics
This study tests whether combining a brain stimulation technique called TMS with behavioral therapy can reduce tics in adolescents and young adults. If you have had tics for at least a year and they are moderate or severe, this trial may be a good fit.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 12–21 - NCT06687161Recruiting
Treating insomnia in mild memory problems
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method (TMS) combined with cognitive training can improve sleep in older adults with mild memory issues. It may help if you have trouble falling or staying asleep and have early memory changes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 60 years+ - NCT06695884Recruiting
Finding the best TMS pulse pattern to boost brain reward activity
This study tests different pulse patterns of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive brain stimulation, to see which one best increases activity in brain reward circuits. It may help people who are dependent on nicotine.
Newark, New JerseyAges 18–55 - NCT07673770Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve memory in dementia
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help improve memory and thinking in people with dementia. By measuring your brain waves first, researchers hope to tailor the stimulation to your specific needs.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 55 years+ - 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 - NCT06835595Recruiting
Brain signals as markers of thinking changes in Parkinson's
This study uses a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation method (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to look at brain signals related to thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to measure cognitive changes over time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for tms?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 193 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.
