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 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 type of non-invasive brain stimulation (called rTMS) to see if it can improve the connection between the heart and brain in women who have had multiple pregnancy losses and have a higher body weight. It may help reduce stress and improve overall health, which could support future pregnancies.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood, can help women with depression during pregnancy or within the first year after giving birth. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for peripartum depression.
This study tests a non-drug brain stimulation treatment (called rTMS) to see if it helps reduce anxiety in older adults with generalized anxiety disorder. If you qualify, you might receive this treatment along with your usual medication.
This study tests a new way to use magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to treat anxiety that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if targeting specific brain connections can reduce anxiety symptoms.
