Brain stimulation for anxiety after miscarriages
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (repetitive TMS) to see if it can improve heart health and reduce anxiety in women who have had multiple pregnancy losses and struggle with anxiety. You will receive high-intensity, low-frequency magnetic pulses over a specific area of the brain involved in worry and stress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 45 years old and right-handed.
- You have had 2 or more miscarriages in a row (before 28 weeks of pregnancy).
- You are not currently pregnant and do not have a missed miscarriage.
- You have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) with significant symptoms (like a HAMA score of at least 16).
- You do not have metal implants in your head, a history of seizures, or certain heart or thyroid problems, and you haven't taken psychiatric medications in the last 4 weeks.

This trial tests if a non-invasive brain training method (neurofeedback) can help women with recurrent pregnancy loss who also have anxiety. It aims to improve heart rate regulation and reduce anxiety using a closed-loop system that gives you real-time feedback.
This study uses a type of brain stimulation (cTBS) combined with MRI to look at how the brain responds. It may help researchers learn more about treating anxiety.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can help women who have experienced two or more miscarriages and are overweight. The treatment may help by improving the connection between the heart and brain, which researchers believe plays a role in pregnancy loss.
This study tests a non-invasive brain treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for women who are depressed during pregnancy or within the first year after giving birth. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve depressive symptoms safely in this period.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can reduce anxiety symptoms in older adults with generalized anxiety disorder. It may help people whose anxiety is still present despite current treatment.
This study looks at using a brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help prevent or treat depression after childbirth. It also uses blood and brain wave tests to try to predict who might get postpartum depression, so the right women can get help early.
