This study tests repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-surgical brain treatment, for anorexia nervosa in people ages 14–24. It may help reduce eating-disorder symptoms in youth who meet the study’s mental health and safety requirements.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called intermittent theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), applied to the right parietal lobe can help people with anorexia nervosa who have not improved with outpatient treatment.
This trial tests whether targeted brain stimulation (a non-surgery treatment) can help symptoms of anorexia nervosa. It may be an option if you can safely take part and meet the trial’s mental health and testing requirements.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see if it helps people with anorexia nervosa. It is for females aged 15 to 30.
This study uses a gentle magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help people who are already in treatment for alcohol or opioid addiction. The goal is to see if adding rTMS can reduce cravings and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can help cognitive-behavioral therapy work better for people with anorexia nervosa. It aims to improve outcomes by targeting brain areas linked to thinking and behavior.
