Can brain stimulation help after spinal cord injury?
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, can improve movement and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help if you have some movement left below your injury level.
OsloAges 18–80 - NCT07832695Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus practice for Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation, called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), combined with guided practice can improve movement and daily function in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you move better and do everyday tasks more easily.
Taipei, Zhongzheng Dist.Ages 18 years+ - NCT07827677Recruiting
Brain stimulation for muscle pain relief in people with insomnia
This study looks at whether different types of brain stimulation (called TMS) can help reduce the muscle pain triggered during a test. It is designed for people who also have insomnia, and who are otherwise healthy.
Hong KongAges 18–60 - NCT07805057Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation for small fiber neuropathy
This trial tests whether magnetic brain stimulation can reduce pain in people with small fiber neuropathy, a nerve condition that causes burning or shooting pain. If you have this condition, this treatment might offer a new way to ease your pain without major side effects.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07793799Enrolling by invitation
Comparing brain stimulation treatments for swallowing problems after stroke
This study tests three non-invasive brain stimulation methods to see if they can help improve swallowing after a stroke. If you have swallowing difficulties due to a stroke, this research might offer a new way to support your recovery.

Effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on hand movement after stroke
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve hand movement in people who have had a stroke and have severe arm weakness. It uses a special device to stimulate the brain and may help with motor recovery.
Palma, Balearic IslandsAges 18 years+ - NCT07758010Recruiting
Brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called cTBS (continuous theta burst stimulation) applied to a specific part of the brain (the precuneus) to see if it helps with treatment-resistant depression. It aims to provide a new option for people who haven't found relief from standard treatments.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06599372Recruiting
TMS for resistant voices in schizophrenia
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation method called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can reduce stubborn auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) in people with schizophrenia who haven't improved enough with medication.

Long-term effects of TMS for depression
This study looks at how well the benefits of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) last over time for people with depression that didn't get better with other treatments. It also uses brain scans to find markers that might predict who will keep doing well.
RennesAges 18 years+ - NCT06639061RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for transcranial magnetic stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 342 recruiting transcranial magnetic stimulation 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 transcranial magnetic stimulation 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 transcranial magnetic stimulation 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.
