tACS for hard‑to‑treat depression with inflammation
This study tests a non‑invasive brain stimulation method called tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) for people with difficult‑to‑treat depression and signs of inflammation. It aims to see if this treatment can help when standard medications haven't worked well enough.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT07681102Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation to help people who have had a stroke and still have limited arm movement. The goal is to see if a specific pattern of stimulation can improve recovery more than others.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06540300Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for non-suicidal self-injury
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help reduce self-harm urges and behaviors. It is for people who have non-suicidal self-injury (when you hurt yourself on purpose without wanting to die).
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 10–55 - NCT07266103Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation for chronic pain study
This study tests whether personalized sessions of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce chronic pain. It aims to understand how this treatment works and how it might be tailored to individuals.
GistrupAges 18–80 - NCT06415721Recruiting
TMS guided by brain scans for alcohol use disorder
This study uses a brain stimulation technique called TMS combined with MRI scans to treat alcohol use disorder. It aims to see if targeting specific brain connections can help reduce drinking.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 25–75 - NCT07608614Recruiting
How sleep affects thinking and performance
This study looks at how sleep influences your thinking, memory, and ability to perform tasks. Researchers will use brain imaging (MRI) and sleep monitoring to understand these connections, which could help improve sleep and performance in the future.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–30 - NCT07334561Recruiting
Brain stimulation for depression and pain
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (transcranial electrical stimulation) for people who have both depression and chronic pain. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve mood and reduce pain.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07029386Recruiting
Brain stimulation for thinking problems in MS and NMOSD
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial electrical stimulation) to see if it can improve thinking and memory problems in people with inflammatory brain diseases like MS or NMOSD. It may help if you feel your thinking has slowed down.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT06409143Recruiting
Brain stimulation for better arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a gentle form of brain stimulation to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It looks at whether this approach can aid recovery in both recent and long-standing stroke survivors.

Brain stimulation for vision loss from glaucoma
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It uses a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called rtACS, which may help damaged optic nerves work better.
Taipei, HawaiiAges 18 years+ - NCT07354139Recruiting
Can brain stimulation help adults who stutter speak more fluently?
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce speech errors in adults who have stuttered since childhood. If you are 22 or older, speak English as your main language, and have developmental stuttering, you may be able to join.

Brain Stimulation for Sleep Problems in Nerve Disorders
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called Hi-tACS to improve sleep in people with specific nerve/immune diseases (like MS or NMOSD) or chronic insomnia who have not responded to sleep medications. The goal is to help you fall asleep and stay asleep, and feel less tired during the day.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for transcranial magnetic stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 342 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.
