Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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.

Ketamine plus brain imaging to study response in depression
This early-stage study tests how ketamine given once and then repeatedly may change brain signals and related biomarkers in people with major depression. If you’re eligible, the team will use brain imaging and assessments to see who responds and why.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65

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.
