Brain stimulation and appetite in Prader-Willi syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies whether targeted brain stimulation (TMS) can help with appetite and eating feelings in people with Prader-Willi syndrome. It also includes an MRI scan to measure brain-related effects, but only if you can safely have these scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Prader-Willi syndrome.
- You can safely receive TMS (brain stimulation).
- You can safely have an MRI scan (no unsafe metal or devices).
- You have no history of seizures or epilepsy, and no first-degree family history of epilepsy.
- You have no history of significant head injury with loss of consciousness.

This study uses brain imaging and mild magnetic stimulation to explore how a brain circuit helps you feel full after eating. It may help us understand eating behaviors and weight regulation.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help reduce food cravings and support weight control in adults who struggle with these issues but are otherwise healthy.
This study tests if repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can change how women with anorexia nervosa make food choices. You would receive rTMS while staying in a hospital eating disorders unit.
This early study tests whether a personalized type of noninvasive brain stimulation (called rTMS) can help people who have trouble controlling impulsive behaviors, especially related to eating. It is for adults with a BMI over 30 who do not have other major medical or mental health conditions.
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.
