This study uses advanced MRI brain scans to better show how the brain responds to medicines (drug-related effects). You may also do extra safety screening and non-invasive brain stimulation for some parts of the research.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT07415668Recruiting
Brain mapping for radiosurgery planning
This trial uses a safe brain stimulation technique to map the motor area before focused radiation. It helps protect healthy brain tissue while treating tumors that have spread to the brain.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07488026Recruiting
Brain stimulation for mobility in Parkinson's disease
This trial tests if a type of brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation) applied to different areas of the brain can improve walking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see which stimulation site works best for reducing freezing of gait and improving daily mobility.
Recife, PernambucoAges 40 years+ - NCT07505784Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for frontotemporal dementia
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) in people with frontotemporal dementia. The goal is to see if it can improve symptoms like behavior and language problems.
Brescia, BSAges 40 years+ - NCT07527403Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Functional Neurological Disorder
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can help improve movement problems caused by functional neurological disorder (FND). The study measures whether patients feel their symptoms improve after receiving this treatment.
RennesAges 18 years+ - NCT07530536Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Help Movement After Brain Tumor Surgery
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.

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.
