Recruiting studies
- NCT07399496Recruiting
Fast TMS for apathy in Parkinson's disease
This study tests a faster version of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help with apathy—low motivation and lack of interest—in people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive several TMS sessions each day over a short period, and the study team will check if your mood and motivation improve.

This trial tests if navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help reduce chronic tinnitus symptoms. It aims to find a safe and effective treatment option for people with persistent ringing in the ears.
SingaporeAges 21–80 - NCT07451600Recruiting
TMS for spasticity and balance in multiple sclerosis
This study tests if transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) and improve balance in people with multiple sclerosis. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain.

Brain stimulation for mobility in Parkinson's disease
This trial tests if a type of brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation) applied to different areas of the brain can improve walking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see which stimulation site works best for reducing freezing of gait and improving daily mobility.
Recife, PernambucoAges 40 years+ - NCT07488429Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus therapy for leg function in cerebral palsy
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) with physical therapy can help improve leg movement and reduce muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than therapy alone.
AnkaraAges 5–18 - NCT07530536Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Help Movement After Brain Tumor Surgery
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 22–65 - NCT07554833Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Motor and Memory Skills
This study tests whether repeated magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the brain can help improve movement and thinking problems in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure how the treatment affects your motor control and cognitive function over the study period.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50–90 - NCT07559084Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Schizophrenia Negative Symptoms
This trial tests a newer form of brain stimulation called multi-target TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia—like reduced emotion, motivation, and speech—in people whose symptoms aren't fully controlled by medication alone.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 16–45 - NCT07561528Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Hard-to-Treat Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)—which uses magnetic pulses to activate brain cells—can help people with OCD whose symptoms haven't improved with medication. Researchers will also look at brain activity patterns to understand who benefits most.
Istanbul, BakirkoyAges 18–65 - NCT07570212Recruiting
Personalized Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's and Similar Disorders
This study tests whether customized transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity) can help improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity patterns.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 30–80 - NCT07580989Recruiting
Brain Stimulation Study: How Left Motor Area Responds
This research study uses magnetic pulses on your scalp to stimulate a specific brain area and measure how your brain responds. The goal is to understand how different parts of your brain work together and communicate during this type of brain stimulation.
GistrupAges 18–60 - NCT07645872Recruiting
Collecting Data From Prostate Cancer Patients Treated With Focal One
This study gathers information from patients who are being treated for prostate cancer using a machine called Focal One, which uses focused ultrasound to target cancer cells. The goal is to collect real-world data about how the treatment works and its effects.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges Any age - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT06821646Enrolling by invitation
Brain responses in depression and autism with TMS and EEG
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) and brain wave recording (EEG) to understand how the brain works in people with autism, depression, or both. It may help find better ways to treat these conditions.

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.
