TMS for improving thinking in bipolar disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can improve thinking and memory in people with bipolar disorder who are in a stable mood phase. You would receive TMS sessions and complete computer-based thinking tests to see if it helps.

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 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 a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial electrical stimulation (TIS) to improve thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia. Researchers want to see if this treatment, combined with antipsychotic medications, can help you think more clearly and function better in daily life.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation (theta-burst TMS) to see if it helps improve depression in people with bipolar disorder. It might be a good option if you have tried medication but still feel depressed.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called iTBS can improve depression and thinking skills. It uses a magnetic coil over the scalp and is done on multiple days.
