TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05161819Recruiting
Repetitive brain magnetic treatment for somatic symptom disorder
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical treatment that uses magnets on the scalp) can help people with somatic symptom disorder. If you qualify, you would be evaluated for symptom improvement and for safety during the treatment period.
Douliu, YunlinAges 20–70 - NCT05138588Recruiting
rTMS for thinking ups and downs in Lewy body dementia
This study tests whether repeat rTMS sessions can improve thinking “fluctuations” (noticeable ups and downs) in people with Lewy body dementia. It’s a proof-of-concept trial, meaning it’s mainly to see if the approach is feasible and potentially helpful.
StrasbourgAges 45 years+ - NCT07636694Recruiting
Brain Stimulation and Thinking Pattern Training for Depression
This study tests whether combining two treatments—magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) and a computer program that helps retrain thought patterns—can reduce depression symptoms. You'll receive these treatments either together or one after the other to see which approach works best.
Quarry Bay, Hong Kong IslandAges Any age - NCT07249801Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for hand grip and vision coordination
This trial uses a technique called closed-loop rTMS-EEG, which combines brain stimulation with brain-wave monitoring, to study how the brain controls hand grip based on visual cues. It may help researchers understand movement and vision integration.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06228235Recruiting
Brain stimulation to reduce smoking cravings
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) combined with a behavioral task can reduce your craving to smoke. It might help if you smoke regularly and want to cut back.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 18–60 - NCT07106385Recruiting
rTMS for better sleep in healthy adults
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation method called rTMS can help improve sleep in adults who are generally healthy but have sleep complaints. If you are 18–65 and often have trouble sleeping, this might be a way to try a new approach without medication.
Hong Kong, Pok Fu LamAges 18–65 - NCT07389213Recruiting
Can brain stimulation and hearing aids slow memory loss in older adults with hearing loss?
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) combined with hearing aids can help slow down thinking and memory decline in older adults who have age-related hearing loss.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 50–85 - NCT06951035Recruiting
Brain stimulation and BCI for arm movement after stroke
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with a brain-computer interface (a device that reads your brain signals) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some weakness but can move their fingers slightly.
ParisAges 18–85 - NCT06424184Recruiting
Fast brain stimulation for addiction and depression
This study tests a quick, non-invasive brain stimulation method (rTMS) to help people who use stimulants like cocaine or methamphetamine and also feel depressed. The goal is to see if it can reduce cravings and improve mood.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07106398Recruiting
Can brain stimulation reduce food cravings and help weight control?
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help reduce food cravings and support weight control in adults who struggle with these issues but are otherwise healthy.
Hong Kong, Pok Fu LamAges 18–65 - NCT06580249Recruiting
Brain stimulation for pleasure loss in teen depression

Nanjing, JiangsuAges 10–55 - NCT06991062Recruiting
Brain stimulation and smoking: finding personalized treatments
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people who smoke reduce cravings or change smoking behavior. You'll also have your brain activity recorded with a cap (EEG) and do some vaping tasks.
Houston, TexasAges 21–60 - NCT07185438Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 120 recruiting repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) 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 repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) 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 repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) 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.
