Brain stimulation and probiotics for diarrhea-predominant IBS
This trial tests whether combining a type of brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) with a probiotic tablet can help people with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. It aims to improve symptoms by targeting both the brain and the gut.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT06963476Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation for substance use
This study uses a gentle magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help people who are already in treatment for alcohol or opioid addiction. The goal is to see if adding rTMS can reduce cravings and improve recovery.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18–60 - NCT07026461RecruitingPhase 4
TMS for depression: comparing two brain stimulation methods
This trial compares two types of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see which works better for people with depression. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood regulation.

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.
