Brain stimulation study for hoarding disorder
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method to see if it can help people with hoarding disorder who haven't gotten better with usual treatments. The procedure does not require surgery and is done in a doctor's office.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 70 years old.
- You need a diagnosis of hoarding disorder from a doctor.

This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique called TMS can help people with depression, anxiety, OCD, or schizophrenia. It aims to find better ways to target the treatment for each person's specific needs.
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 study tests how a non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique affects the brain in healthy volunteers. It involves MRI scans and aims to understand brain function without surgery.
This trial tests an “accelerated” form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to reduce symptoms of depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). You may be considered if standard treatments didn’t help (or you couldn’t tolerate them), and if it’s safe for you to receive TMS.
This study tests a device that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, which may help reduce obsessive and compulsive behaviors. It is for adults who have had these symptoms for a while and are not getting enough relief from their current treatment.
This study tests a new way of using magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain in healthy adults. It aims to learn if this method is safe and well-tolerated, which could lead to new treatments for brain conditions.
