Brain wave study in romantic couples
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses EEG to study brain activity in romantic couples. It tests how partners' brains connect in different settings and includes a brief pain stimulus on the leg.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in a romantic relationship for at least 6 months.
- You are between 20 and 60 years old.
- You speak English fluently.
- You are willing to have a small, brief pain on your lower left leg.
- You can avoid marijuana for 48 hours and nicotine for 4 hours before scans.

This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can change how people feel pain and manage emotions. It may help researchers find new ways to help people with pain.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help reduce chronic low back pain. Participants will have brain scans and receive the treatment over several sessions.
This study uses brain scans to learn how different parts of the brain connect and communicate in healthy people. If you join, you will help researchers better understand normal brain function.
This study uses brain-signal targeting (likely with MRI) to see whether it can improve certain symptoms of depression. You may be able to join if you’re 18–65 and currently have a depressive episode, and if you can safely complete the scan.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how your brain responds to different feelings, including mild heat pain. It may help researchers learn more about pain and brain processing by comparing your responses during the tests.
This study uses MRI and EEG to look at brain connections involved in pain. It may help us understand how the brain processes pain and could lead to better treatments.
