Repetitive brain magnetic treatment for somatic symptom disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical treatment that uses magnets on the scalp) can help people with somatic symptom disorder. If you qualify, you would be evaluated for symptom improvement and for safety during the treatment period.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with somatic symptom disorder by a psychiatrist
- You are between 20 and 70 years old

This study tests repeated brain stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can improve symptoms of schizophrenia and related depression, and measure body/brain changes. You may be considered if you have schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder with enough depressive symptoms, and if recent treatments and medical safety factors fit the rules.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment can help manage cancer-related pain. It may be an option for people with cancer pain who are not helped enough by current treatments.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical treatment using magnets on the scalp) can reduce restricted and repetitive behaviors seen in autism. It’s designed for people with autism who have high levels of certain repetitive behaviors, like insistence on sameness or unusual interests.
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help children with autism or ADHD. The goal is to find out if this treatment can improve symptoms and is safe for this age group.
This trial tests whether repeated magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help people with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatment. Participants must be taking a specific antidepressant and be right-handed.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, can help people with severe stimulant use disorder reduce their use. You may qualify if you have been off stimulants for 2 to 8 weeks and are medically stable.
