Magnetic brain stimulation for memory and thinking in bipolar disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help improve thinking and memory in people with bipolar disorder who are in a stable phase. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in cognitive function, and this trial aims to see if it can reduce cognitive problems that often persist even when mood symptoms are controlled.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can improve mood in people with bipolar disorder who are currently experiencing depression. It aims to understand how the brain's mood circuits work.
This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS to see if it can help people with bipolar disorder better manage their emotions during a depressive episode. It may offer a new option for those who are still feeling depressed despite stable medication.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can improve thinking and memory in people with psychosis. It involves MRI scans and several study visits at McLean Hospital.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (called theta burst stimulation) to see if it can help improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia. It is a personalized treatment that is given over several sessions.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment for older adults with depression and some memory or thinking issues. The goal is to see if this magnetic stimulation can safely improve mood, and it is guided by brain imaging.
This study tests a new brain stimulation method that may help improve memory and thinking in older adults who have memory concerns. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that sends magnetic pulses to the brain.
