Brain stimulation for muscle tightness in children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can reduce muscle tightness (spasticity) in the arm of children with cerebral palsy or hemiplegia caused by a brain injury. It is a randomized controlled trial, meaning some children will receive the active treatment and others a placebo, to find out if it really helps.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 7–18 - NCT06129890Recruiting
Brain stimulation for nerve pain and depression
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people with long-term nerve pain who also have depression. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce pain and improve mood.
Saint-EtienneAges 18–85 - NCT06145932Recruiting
Repetitive TMS for essential tremor
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) — a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to calm overactive brain cells — can help reduce shaking in people with essential tremor. If you have essential tremor and no metal implants or other brain conditions, you may be eligible to participate.

fMRI-Guided vs. Standard Brain Stimulation for Depression
This study compares two types of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat depression. One type uses a brain scan (fMRI) to guide the treatment, while the other uses a standard approach. It may help people whose depression hasn't improved with medication.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06155682Recruiting
TMS for Improving Self-Control in Schizophrenia
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help people with schizophrenia improve their ability to stop impulsive actions. By targeting the part of the brain that controls inhibition, researchers hope to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Brain activity and memory in treatment-resistant depression
This study looks at how the brain's frontal lobe (DLPFC) works during memory tasks in people with treatment-resistant depression. It compares brain activity between depressed patients and healthy controls using MRI and possibly a brain stimulation technique (rTMS). It aims to understand why some people don't respond to standard treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 121 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.
