Precision rTMS for tardive dyskinesia motor symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), targeted precisely using brain imaging, can safely reduce the involuntary movements caused by some psychiatric medications. If you have tardive dyskinesia, this treatment might help improve your motor symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with tardive dyskinesia (involuntary movements) for at least 3 months.
- You have taken a medication that blocks dopamine (like some antipsychotics) for at least 3 months (or 1 month if you are 60 or older).
- You do not have any other movement disorder (like Parkinson's or Huntington's).
- You do not have epilepsy, a history of seizures, or use seizure medication.
- You can have an MRI and do not have metal implants or devices in your body (like pacemakers).

This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help children with autism or ADHD. The goal is to find out if this treatment can improve symptoms and is safe for this age group.
This research tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can help improve abnormal brain activity patterns in people with dystonia, a condition causing sustained involuntary movements. Researchers will use brain imaging to see if this treatment helps.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive rTMS and be evaluated for changes in movement and thinking.
This trial tests a precise form of brain stimulation (called TMS) to see if it can improve movement problems like stiffness, slowness, or tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants must have a stable medication routine and no metal implants or brain surgery history.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive TMS can reduce the involuntary movements (dyskinesia) that some people with Parkinson's disease experience as a side effect of their levodopa medication. If you have Parkinson's and bothersome dyskinesia when your medication is working, this trial may be an option.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help people with schizophrenia improve their ability to stop impulsive actions. By targeting the part of the brain that controls inhibition, researchers hope to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
