Personalized brain stimulation for irritable bowel syndrome
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Immune system & allergy, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) customized for each person to treat IBS. It uses MRI scans to see how the brain responds, aiming to find better ways to predict who will benefit from this therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) using the latest Rome IV standards.
- You have not taken any IBS medications for at least 2 weeks before starting.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have no metal implants, claustrophobia, epilepsy, or skull defects that would make MRI or TMS unsafe.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study.
- You have not used probiotics, prebiotics, or other substances that could affect results within the last 3 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether repeated magnetic stimulation applied to the scalp (a non-invasive procedure) can reduce diarrhea and belly pain in people with diarrhea-predominant IBS. The goal is to see if this brain-based treatment can improve your symptoms.
This trial tests if a type of brain stimulation called low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (lf-rTMS) can reduce belly pain in people with irritable bowel syndrome that causes diarrhea (IBS-D). It is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to target areas of the brain involved in pain perception.
This trial tests whether combining a type of brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) with a probiotic tablet can help people with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. It aims to improve symptoms by targeting both the brain and the gut.
This study tests how a specific kind of brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) works for people with depression that has not responded to standard treatments. If you qualify, it may help doctors understand the mechanism and improve options for treatment-resistant depression.
This trial tests three treatments for diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D): brain stimulation (TMS), medication, or probiotics. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce pain and improve bowel symptoms.
This study uses personalized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) – a non-invasive brain stimulation technique – to map brain circuits involved in depression and anxiety. It aims to improve treatment by tailoring the stimulation to each person's brain activity.
