Social brain study in healthy adults
This study looks at how the brain works when we interact with others. It uses brain imaging to understand the 'social brain' in healthy adults.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04953559Recruiting
Brain magnetic stimulation study to improve insomnia sleep
This study tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation method (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can improve sleep in people with primary insomnia. You may qualify if your sleep and sleepiness questionnaires show a pattern of insomnia, and if you can safely have MRI/TMS.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–50 - NCT05028738Recruiting
Test a brain stimulation program for depression and anxiety
This trial studies whether a patient-friendly, scheduled brain stimulation treatment can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It also checks whether the treatment plan is practical and safe to use in real outpatient settings.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05048862Recruiting
Brain scan and tests for neuromuscular conditions
This study compares people with neuromuscular disorders to healthy people using questionnaires and brain/neurological tests. It may help researchers understand how these conditions affect the brain and nervous system.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05095740Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation for laryngeal dystonia symptoms
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (referred to as neuromodulation, such as rTMS) can improve symptoms of laryngeal dystonia. It’s meant to see if stimulating certain brain areas can reduce how severely your voice/throat problem affects you.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–85 - NCT05149534Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus writing therapy for PTSD symptoms
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation (rTMS) combined with a structured writing therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. It may help by boosting how the brain processes traumatic memories while you work through them in writing.
Temple, TexasAges 18–60 - NCT05176392Recruiting
Stimulation treatment plus therapy for post-injury headaches
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment combined with therapy can reduce long-lasting headaches after a mild brain injury. You might be a good candidate if your headaches started after the injury and have continued for months.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT05198076Recruiting
TMS follow-up study for balance changes in Parkinson’s
This study looks at how “high-frequency TMS” (a brain stimulation treatment) may change balance in people with Parkinson’s disease over a 6-month follow-up. You may be considered if you have mild to moderate Parkinson’s, have not had TMS before, and are medically stable.
Giza, Ad Doqi, Giza District, Giza GovernorateAges 55–70 - NCT05338697Recruiting
Early testing after stroke to predict recovery outcomes
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05368987Recruiting
TMS for PTSD fear learning and safety memory
This study tests a brain-stimulation treatment called TMS to see if it improves how people with PTSD unlearn fear and form safer memories. It may help reduce fear responses by targeting specific fear-circuit areas in the brain.
Houston, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT05389787Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve thinking in schizophrenia
This pilot study tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain) using TMS can improve brain function and thinking in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may receive TMS and undergo brain/cognitive assessments to see whether it helps.
New York, New YorkAges 18–60 - NCT05425615Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation to improve language after left stroke
This study tests a form of brain stimulation (TMS) in people who had a stroke affecting the left side of the brain. It aims to understand whether stimulation can help with language processing tasks at least a month after stroke.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–85 - NCT05426967Recruiting
Brain stimulation for depression after mild traumatic brain injury
This trial studies a noninvasive brain treatment (rTMS) to reduce depression symptoms in people with past mild traumatic brain injury from military service. It may help by changing brain activity, while also requiring stable mental health care and regular follow-up.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT05437705Recruiting
Brain scan and stimulation study for low mood
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and a brain-stimulation method (TMS) to understand and possibly change brain patterns linked with low mood. You may be eligible if you have moderate to severe depression symptoms and can safely complete the scans and stimulation sessions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for transcranial magnetic stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 348 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.
