Brain stimulation study on stress and emotions
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain scans to understand how your brain responds to stress. You will complete tasks and answer questions while undergoing an MRI to help researchers learn more about emotional responses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be comfortable in an MRI scanner (no metal implants, pacemakers, or other incompatible devices).
- You cannot be taking certain medications for blood pressure, seizures, Parkinson's, HIV, mania, or other conditions (some exceptions apply).
- You must not have certain medical conditions like epilepsy, heart problems, severe hypertension, cancer, liver or kidney disease, Type I diabetes, or major neurological disorders.
- You cannot be pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the next 3 months.
- You must not have a history of suicide attempts or recent suicidal thoughts.
- You cannot have had brain stimulation therapy in the past month.

This study uses a safe brain stimulation method to see if it can improve how the brain links memories with emotional arousal. You might join if you are healthy, right-handed, and free from major medical or psychiatric conditions.
This study uses two non-invasive brain tools — transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and functional MRI — to see how the brain's startle response works in people with anxiety. You will not receive a drug; the goal is to learn more about brain circuits involved in anxiety.
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference to help treat psychiatric conditions. Researchers will use MRI scanning and specialized stimulation equipment to see if this approach is safe and helpful.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the scalp at a specific frequency (alpha waves) can reduce stress in healthy people. It involves a single session and measures your stress response.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and a brain-stimulation method (TMS) to understand and possibly change brain patterns linked with low mood. You may be eligible if you have moderate to severe depression symptoms and can safely complete the scans and stimulation sessions.
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to the head (transcranial electrical stimulation) can help reduce symptoms of chronic stress. The study uses two types of non-invasive stimulation and compares them to see which is more effective.
