Brain Stimulation for Schizophrenia Negative Symptoms
This trial tests a newer form of brain stimulation called multi-target TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia—like reduced emotion, motivation, and speech—in people whose symptoms aren't fully controlled by medication alone.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 16–45 - NCT07570212Recruiting
Personalized Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's and Similar Disorders
This study tests whether customized transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity) can help improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity patterns.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 30–80 - NCT07626216RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain Stimulation Study for Involuntary Movement Disorders
This research tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can help improve abnormal brain activity patterns in people with dystonia, a condition causing sustained involuntary movements. Researchers will use brain imaging to see if this treatment helps.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT07467473Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation study for depression
This trial uses a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (a gentle magnetic pulse) to see if activating a specific brain area helps people with depression feel more positive emotions. It involves brain imaging and memory tasks.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT07345377Enrolling by invitation
Personalized brain stimulation for irritable bowel syndrome
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) customized for each person to treat IBS. It uses MRI scans to see how the brain responds, aiming to find better ways to predict who will benefit from this therapy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07155096Enrolling by invitation

It may help researchers better understand how brain structure relates to performance, using scan-based measurements and related procedures.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for transcranial magnetic stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 347 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.
