Testing noninvasive brain stimulation to study motor control
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses noninvasive brain stimulation and related tasks (and may include virtual reality) to understand how the brain controls movement. It may help researchers learn more about motor control, which can guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be right-handed (based on a short handedness questionnaire)
- Be between 18 and 40 years old
- Do not have a history of seizures or epilepsy
- Do not have certain past problems with brain stimulation or with virtual reality (cybersickness)
- Not be pregnant and do not have a head wound/skin problem on the scalp or an implanted device like a pacemaker

This trial studies whether a specific kind of non-painful brain stimulation (TMS) can improve arm and hand movement. It tests this in healthy volunteers and in people recovering from stroke.
This study tests a combination of gentle brain stimulation paired with specialized exercises designed to help people with cerebellar conditions—disorders affecting balance, coordination, and movement. The goal is to see if pairing these two approaches together works better than either alone.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to understand how the brain controls movement and learning. Researchers will measure changes in your brain's electrical activity while you play a video game, which may help them understand how the brain learns new motor skills.
This study tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can improve motor function in healthy adults. If you are right-handed, in good health, and have no neurological or major medical conditions, you may be eligible.
This trial uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive way to stimulate the brain using magnetic fields) to study how the brain responds. It aims to adaptively improve the recruitment process for future studies and may help researchers better design trials for neurological conditions. As a healthy volunteer, your participation can contribute to scientific knowledge.
This study tests whether a brain-magnetic (TMS) training approach can improve how people learn and control movements. It’s done in healthy adults to understand how mental training affects motor learning.
