Brain stimulation for mood problems after COVID-19
This study tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help people aged 18 to 65 who have ongoing depression or low mood for more than 12 weeks after a confirmed COVID-19 infection. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain involved in mood regulation.

TMS for recent trauma may reduce PTSD symptoms
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce PTSD symptoms in people who have recently experienced trauma. It aims to see if TMS can prevent PTSD from becoming long-lasting.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–65 - NCT06163625Recruiting
Brain activity and memory in treatment-resistant depression
This study looks at how the brain's frontal lobe (DLPFC) works during memory tasks in people with treatment-resistant depression. It compares brain activity between depressed patients and healthy controls using MRI and possibly a brain stimulation technique (rTMS). It aims to understand why some people don't respond to standard treatments.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT06074614Recruiting
Breathing and brain control in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how the brain controls breathing in people with Parkinson's disease compared to healthy volunteers. It may help us understand breathing problems that can occur in Parkinson's.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07525063Enrolling by invitation
Brain Stimulation for Fibromyalgia Pain Relief
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) can help reduce pain and improve mood in women with fibromyalgia. Researchers will use MRI scans and brain stimulation to understand how pain and reward circuits in the brain work.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07516028Recruiting
How Your Brain Responds to Low Oxygen Levels
This study looks at how your brain's nerve signals change when exposed to moderate low-oxygen conditions. Researchers will use brain stimulation and imaging to understand these changes, which could help future treatments for brain and spinal cord conditions.
Loos, Hauts-de-FranceAges 18–65 - NCT07482501Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation for heart health after stroke
This study uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain treatment using magnetic pulses) to improve heart rate control in people who have had a stroke. It may help your body better manage stress and blood pressure.
AfyonkarahisarAges 35–80 - 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 - NCT07457489Recruiting
Brain stimulation for opioid recovery
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to see if it can reduce opioid cravings and help people who are already taking buprenorphine stay in recovery. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain involved in addiction.
Brentwood, TennesseeAges 18–65 - NCT07457567Recruiting
Social brain study in healthy adults

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.
