Repetitive brain magnetic treatment for somatic symptom disorder
Part of Brain & nervous system, 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.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with somatic symptom disorder by a psychiatrist
- You are between 20 and 70 years old
- You do not have psychotic symptoms (such as severe confusion, hallucinations, or delusions)
- You do not have significant memory or thinking problems
- You are not pregnant and do not plan pregnancy in the next 3 months
- You have not had rTMS treatment in the last 3 months

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 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 study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses magnetic pulses applied to the head, and half of the participants will receive a sham (inactive) treatment to compare results.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help people with schizophrenia improve their ability to stop impulsive actions. By targeting the part of the brain that controls inhibition, researchers hope to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), targeted precisely using brain imaging, can safely reduce the involuntary movements caused by some psychiatric medications. If you have tardive dyskinesia, this treatment might help improve your motor symptoms.
This study tests a non-drug treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) that uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate the brain. It aims to reduce migraine frequency by personalizing the treatment to each person's brain. If you have frequent migraines, this could offer a new option without daily pills.
